Tom,

Are you getting other sounds through your computer via the same sound card
that the MS default sound scheme uses? Again, I no longer use XP, but I
think if you tab through the Sounds options in the control panel, you'll
come across at least one checkbox for mute. Naturally, you want it
unchecked.

Subject: Update On No Windows Sounds

Hello again list:  I talked with someone who was nice enough to try and 
help
me get my Windows Sounds back; although we tried the usual steps: Sounds 
and

Audios, then Windows Default; we even tried a system restore..no soap!  I
still do not hear my windows sounds!  Am frustrated; could it be that it's
something I'm just going to have to live with (or more appropriately "live
without) until I get a new computer?  I surely hope not!

Listers,

Can mp3 files be burn to a disk with windows media player, and be played in
any player? If not, how do I change the files to wav files using windows
media player, or can that be done?

My brother in New York is going through some things and he has asked me to
send him some of my music.

Thanks to all.

USB headphones with Windows 7

2013-02-25 Thread Dean Masters
I had some USB headphones with microphone which I got to use on my previous 
PC. I wanted to use it so I could use Skype so plugged them in and Windows 7 
home premium 64 bit PC found the drivers.


So I go to the volume control on my system tray and choose playback. There 
is a combo box where I can go between the USB headphones and the RealTech 
speakers.


I select one and tab to set as default and hit enter. but something weird is 
going on.


When I select the RealTech speakers as my default all sound comes from my 
headphone. And the volume icon in the system tray says speakers.


To be able to hear through my speakers I have to choose the headphone. so 
the icon in the system tray says headphone but the sound come from my 
speakers except for the sound from my media player of choice which is Dawm 
Pot player. so I have to wear my headphones to listen to media but JAWS 
comes through the speakers.


I just tried it with iTunes and the audio from that program also comes 
through the headphones.


What is making this weird thing happen and what do I need to do to get it 
straightened out?

Yes. The digital output produces better audio quality by transferring the bits 
(all music on a computer is broken down into bits (as is all tother 
information)).
If you want to use the digital output you would need to purchase a digital to 
audio converter.  I am not sure if any of the Sblive cards had there own 
digital audio converters in them or not so you might want to check that out 
first if you have documentation with the card.
My assumption is however that since there is a digital output on the card they 
want you to use an external digital audio converter.
Digital audio converters come in all shapes, sizes, and quality  not to mention 
cost. Also what kind of system are you going to run this into? If it's is a 
good system (your judgement is primary here) the digital audio converter would 
have outputs that you can connect directly into the input of your system and 
you should hear improvement in your musical sound.
Hope that helps get you started.
