bottleneck of apparent control "sounds and audio device properties | audio tab | sound

Lately, this becomes a little more than one gene, to the point where it seems there are already some solution out there : I often want to spend (internet radio or mp3s) music that I send now based Creative Media USB "broadcasting" (home use - audio send anywhere where I could want him in my house)-for a random downloaded video programming.  Video noise must never be sent to the speakers of my monitor-entertainment (although I wouldn't mind if that sound signal should also go through the creative system to other points in the House.)  But it's scary, sometimes I have to play music, to turn on the monitor and sauté with the music of great volume until I can mute or mute the volume.  But it is never necessary for my music be routed to the monitor.

I drive the monitor via a HDMI cable and adapters changed just after the last of them went wrong, so the new audio software NVIDIA can get complicated this unduly now.  But it seems that the only way for me to join the audio track from any video source given the monitor is to go through the tedious process to navigate to the audio tab and then change the default devices of the Creative device to the NVIDIA device.  If I have already started the video until I realize that I am still set up for music, I have to leave the VCR and the restart before it will route the audio through the HDMI.

Then of course if I want to stop watching the video source and go back to something with music as a background, I must reverse this procedure as a whole.

More complicated still is the panic that can ensue when I receive a Skype call - it can be quite EXPLOSION on the monitor speakers.  These levels seem to chronically inadequate because I assume that they share the same slider control as something else (it's still too low volume without be turned up to 11) and are not put to level automatically, or something like that...

Certainly I'm not the only one annoyed by these audio problems.  What are the solutions are there for these problems?  I would like to be able to choose speakers, based on sources: mp3s and other audio-only stuff would be default to the Creative device, while avi and other video stuff would be only of course exit by default for the NVIDIA card.  Seems kind of obvious... but it does not work like that?

Hi 808pants,

You can try to change the settings for the audio mixer Panel to help relieve this problem:

In addition, most programs can be configured to use a specific audio adapter. In the case of Skype, you can check the following link to set up Skype:

Note: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Unless the program is designed to specify the audio adapter, the only way that you can choose where will the audio is by setting the audio adapter by default.

Hope this information is useful.

  • Sounds and control panel of Audio devices - the speaker settings & gray device Volume

    System restore point created and then installed audio & video drivers from Microsoft Update.  Lost audio & fucking video, speaker in the system tray icon disappeared.   Tried to go back to a restore point, but system says that there was a problem and he is unable to restore my system to a restore point and no action was taken.

    What I did:

    1. Went to Creative & Nvidia and got the latest drivers and installed OK.
    2. Device Manager shows no problems.
    3. A ran Microsoft FixIt.  No problems found.
    4. DirectX diagnostic ran.  No sound on all the tests.
    5. Open 'Sound and Audio Devices Properties' Panel.  On the Volume tab, "Device Volume" & "The speaker settings" are grayed out.  Slider is set to low or non-existent and "speaker" icon is deselected.  "Audio" tabs & 'Voice', have selections SB X - Fi Audio as default devices.  'Hardware' tab has all the devices activated and functioning properly.
    6. As the loss of his is systemic, I checked the BIOS and he had disabled his, so I enabled it, but suspect it is for his mother integrated.
    7. Activated the Windows Audio Service, restarted and assured, it starts automatically at windows startup.
    8. Restored sndvol32.exe from the Windows XP installation disc.

    Nothing has been able to restore all the sounds from my system.  Any other ideas?

    Hi Jim384.Whenever I had a sound problem, I go to the Device Manager open the audio video and game controllers. In the list, you should see peripheral audio. Right click and uninstall it. Close all applications and restart the system. When the system reboots it should detect the hardware as a new device and proceed to load the material. Probably wouldn't hurt to run the program below. Click on the link, download it and then start in safe mode with network and run the program. If there is no bug in there it will remove them.

    Have you checked the Device Manager? The sound card appears correctly in the Device Manager or yellow exclamation marks appear?

    Have you tried reinstalling the audio driver? If this isn't the case, please try it.

  • I can't change "sounds and audio devices" in the Panel

    original title: I can't change "sounds and audio devices" in the control panel after the update my card NVIDIA vidio driver and Microsoft DirectX in my Windows XP SP3 update.  How can I fix it?

    I recently updated my card (NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT) video driver and Microsoft DirectX after you have experienced a problem with a casual game.  That fixed the problem, but then I noticed that my sound 'e-mail notification' had failed in its original supplied with Windows.  I changed "Sounds and Audio devices", registered, registered as a new regime, etc., and still plays the old default Windows sound.  It was the only noise I had on Windows.  When I check "Sounds and Audio devices", the sound, I have chosen is the one listed, and it does not play when I check, but when the mail arrives, I hear the old Windows by default.  I don't know if the updates, to happen or not, caused only that it took place at the same time.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Thank you for your suggestions.  It turns out that my e-mail client, "Eudora", had somehow reset the default mode in the Windows sounds.  I forgot that there is a choice to "Be careful" in Eudora Tools.  After I changed it back, it worked perfectly.  Once again, thank you to answer me.

    Hello clarksdad,

    It seems that you have not installed all the drivers after your new installation.

    Try to install the drivers for chipsets motherboard from the CD driver provided by the manufacturer/supplier of your PC.

    And then you continue with the installation of drivers VGA and Audio.

    For the most part, all these drivers come packaged with the CD provided by the manufacturer/supplier of your PC.

  • Tecra 9100: No sound and unknown device

    I have the laptop above and have recently flattened and reinstalled Windows XP pro. I have no sound, I have a speaker in my sys tray, Device Manager detects the card Intel (r) 82801 CA/Cam AC'97 Audio Controller, after I installed the RealTek AC 97 drivers. I plugged in the headphones to make sure that this is not not the speakers who have blown. But still no sound. All volumes are turned upward and the volume on the front wheel is set in the middle. In sounds and audio in the Control Panel, all volumes are increasing and the speakers are set to portable stereo speakers.

    Any ideas?

    I have a unknown devices in Device Manager States location is a system compatible ACPI Microsoft from what I see on Google it's something to do with the battery. Once again any ideas?

    Thank you

    I know that your laptop. It s a Tecra 9100 and this laptop supports a Yamaha YMF753 - stereo 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro compatible sound card.

    The problem is the XP SP1 or SP2. The audio driver of Yamaha does not support SP1.

I was remove some software from "Add or Remove Programs" and I accidentally deleted the audio driver that is the volume of the computer. Day after tomorrow, I went on youtube and and listened to some of my favorite tunes, but I was surprised because I couldn't hear anything in my headset or speaker. I wonder why and I was wondering if I should check the volume to the taskbar control and then there is no volume control icon, as it disappeared. Then I went to the control panel to check the 'sounds, speech and Audio devices"If there is a problem going on there. Then I click on "sounds and Audio devices". and then a window pops up where it says "sounds and Audio devices properties, then I saw that there is"No Audio device".» Now I don't know what to do to recover the sound and audio device to my computer. I tried to install some drivers for my computer, but it does not help. And the only thing I can think of right now is to contact a technician to fix this problem. Please help me. What can you advice that will help my computer to reinstall this device, I will gladly appreciate it. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help me!!! ..... :(

  • No Audio device and Audio HDA Bus Driver Error Win XP SP3

    Hello

    I'm running a put together computer, with Windows XP SP3. I've recently accidentally got rid of my sound on my computer, eliminating the bad program in Add/Remove programs. I know that my computer is running Intel (r) 82801 AA AC 97 Audio Control. So I went to the thought of their site, I had deleted the drivers and audio devices. I downloaded the current driver, but this has not fixed the problem even with an update. So I went hunting online and found this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9idzHNWZLP0

    , thinking maybe that would help me even though I am not a user real tek (have intel of course). But he said that it is compatible with windows xp. I tried downlaoding it and got the error: "could not complete the installation: missing Audio HDA Bus driver.

    So now, it seemed to me, I had not only a mistake, but two. I tried to download a driver of Bus HDA, but this failed. I tried to look in the Device Manager to see if there was a red or yellow marker next to my audio devices and maybe they needed to be reinstalled. Showing a problem there, he said nothing everythign was working properly. I tried to use Soundmax audio driver as well, but who was also discussed with the bus driver error. I also went to http://noaudiodevice.com , and these solutions do not work either because I was not faced with a problem of yellow or red marker. I also did this off stupidly deletling the bad thing no one updated.

    I'm almost at a loss at this point and was way over my head to start.
    I could really use some help. I know that my computer when I had one month ago second hand but wiped off, had run soundmax. If you need more information about my computer or screen shots please let me know. I looked at the subjects here, and none seem to adapt to this situation for me.

    Did you get the specific drivers for your motherboard?
    If this isn't the case, remember to search the downloads specific to what you have.
