Game sounds
Originally publishing family vista and upgraded to windows 7... had it fixed a computer failure and it. Now has same windows 7.
Sounds of the game are now changed... which means there just not here. Examples; Minesweeper makes no noise when a mine is hit. Spider
Solitare deals the cards at once rather than one at a time.
Hello
Method 1: Check whether you can hear sound in Windows
Test the sound in Windows by playing your favorite music or video file. If there is no sound, check this:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems
If you can hear the sound, go to method 2.
Method 2: Check if the sound is enabled in the program
Each program has a unique setting to turn on and turn off the sound.
a. for mine sweeper:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Minesweeper-how-to-play

Minesweeper II. Double click.
III. click the game menu, and then click Options.

v. click Ok
b. change the Spider Solitaire options

I play world of warcraft and use a program called ventrilo to talk with other players. the problem I have is my game sounds can be heard.
Vista makes my headphones 'speakers', so when I use a program called ventrilo to talk with other players in my game sounds are heard through ventrilo. My headset is a headset/microphone generic plug-and-play.When I run not WoW, I can hear my own voice through the headset speakers when I talk.
I want my headphones to work so I can hear my friends talking and the sounds of the game, but I don't want the game sounds to be filtered on the server for voice chat
Any help would be much appreciated. I asked the same question to Geek Squad and their response has been to try to charge me $49.99 + tax for one of their "agents" can remote in and fix it. Do not use them unless you have: P
Hey CassiusVa,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!
Since when are you facing the issue?
Can I know the version of Ventrilo you use on your computer?
It may be that World of Warcraft focuses on your audio hardware. You can try to reduce the audio settings in WoW to see if this makes the use of Ventrilo better. It may also be a driver problem. I would check to make sure that you have the latest drivers for your audio device.
Use the following steps to ensure that the audio drivers are up to date.
1. connect to the Internet.
2. click on start and enter the Device Manager in the start search field.
3. click on the plus sign next to sound, video and game controllers.
4. right click on the name of the sound material and select software update of the driver...
5. click on search automatically for a driver updated and wait for Windows to update the driver software.
6 Windows checks a remote Web site to see if the update of the driver software is available.
* If an update is available, let Windows install the update.
* If an update is not available, proceed to the next step.
7. once the update is successfully installed, test the microphone.
Please follow the steps below and check if you still have questions echo.
Go into Ventrilo Setup and select mixer for the sound card, which will be the audio input (as determined by the "Input device" option) device. This will populate the Mux and line options. Normally it would take only a Mux. It is possible that you may have many options of the line. Go ahead and select "Microphone" or anything that is appropriate for the input line and then click OK.
This should solve the problem.
Please note that you select mixer, mux and line will allow the "Hardware Volume" slider This gives you the control hardware on the audio input signal and is the best way to control how strong you are. Setting the cursor to halfway better seems to work for most people, but it will be hardware and system load.
You can also browse the links for more information on ventrilo and try to contact them if the problem persists.

vs game sound effects mp3 wav files
I'm working on a video game and I using OpenAL files and wav audio work.
I was just to add playback and noticed that the wav file is big enough 4 MB against against the original mp3 file 1 MB
I'm trying to get the game to work with mp3 files to save space (can not get this to work see other post)
But that got me thinking.
After doing a lot of reading on the web, I noticed that most sources recommend using wav to mp3 files
I would have thought 'space' could pose a problem for mobile applications like this, but that doesn't seem to be a problem in these discussions.
People don't like about the real size of bar? (transmission of effects and space on the shelf)
Should I care?
The folder bar is currently around 4-5 MB with the backing track, it would be 8-9 MB
Please note that I have already reduced the bitrate (and did some other stuff) to minimize the size of the file, there's the mp3 file is much smaller, the wav file.
I also appreciate that there is some legal and philosophical reasons to not use mp3 but I think only those technical.
Update
It turns out that the reason why he broke was a stupid mistake on my part
as soon as I stared it stopped crashing
After much trial and error I was able to do the work.
I am also able to play multiple mp3 files at one time.
I think I'll use a hybrid model, however, keep track of .wav for sound effects files and MP3 files for support. I find that the mp3 files do not seem to be too brave was the wav file and just out of sync wise they seem sometimes.
I'm also somewhat surpised that mmr_stop() is so expensive, it caused glitches in my game, but I moved it to a different thread, and everything seems fine.

How can I add a game sound on click the Muse?
I'm trying to find a way to add a "speaker" key to muse that emits a sound of the pronunciation of a Word, exactly as they have on the dictionary sites.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Help?s=t
The value default is Muse downloads the file in their system and they play it with any software installed.
I need a recommendation for a slick way integrate audio

The game sound out speakers no helmet
Hello!

According to Mgr. device my audio drivers are not working. It's like listening to an old ALBUM. The songs will be jump or play Robert Plant so slow that it sounds like Barry White.
Please update your audio drivers to their latest version. Don't simply check Windows Update, but the site of the manufacturer of the sound card as well.

Game sounds from the beginning to the place where I am in the timeline panel
I am currently lipsync animation. I have the sound flow value instead of the event, but for some reason any (often, but not always) when I play the part of the sound, no matter where I am on the timeline, the sound is played from the beginning as if I started at the beginning of the melody. I tried to split the file between each syllable, and that seems to have fixed, but now there is a strange noise that plays to each division, so that the method is not really practical.
I have a feeling that this may be a RAM issue since it seems to have no known cause and nothing seems to fix it for sure. It seems like something that would be caused by the release of maxing out the RAM. I have 6 GB and I thought that would be enough, but it may not be. There isn't really a lot going on in this animation that could bring it to use this amount of RAM, but after reading about how it works the Stream parameter, looks like a cumbersome process RAM.
What do you think guys? It's something I've missed, or it's just my RAM and I'll have to deal with it, unless I get more?
Update: I checked my task during execution of the animation Manager, and it goes up to 60% at the most. I'm puzzled.
It is a known problem that can occur in Windows. It's already been fixed, but I don't know when the update will be available. 'Early 2016' is say Adobe.

Compaq Presario SR1750KR
After reformatting my computer, I installed all my drivers and everything worked well, except that I had a strange sound feedback problem that I have not been able to understand since (it was rained a year). I play online games with my friends and we use the voicechat programs and if they speak when I do they hear themselves very hard and also that they can hear all the sounds (video game sounds, music, anything really) coming from my computer, same with my microphone and headphone unplugged.
Now, I thought that it was a problem with my computer, but my friend recently reformatted his computer even and he installed the Realtek HD Audio driver via the product page of our computer on the site of HP as well, and now it has the same problem. So it seems to be a fixable software issue so I hope someone can help me finally solve this problem!Message edited by Dan7056 on 10/31/2009 07:38Yes I tried that before, no dice on that property. Thanks in any case.
I actually seemed to have solved the problem! I cut stereo mix in the control record.

New ENVY 17-j092nr very strange sound/no sound
Hello
I just bought a HP ENVY 17-j092nr 17.3 "laptop with Windows 8, and out of the box, there is a major issue of his. It's hard to explain, so I'll try my best. It is a certain type of sound from speakers but it's extremely studdered and virtually inaudible. the volume controls do raise and lower the volume of the sound. I tried the helmet, and there is no sound at all. It would be like listening to a cell phone call, cut and heard only a split second of sound followed by a half second pause time and again. This is for all of the sound of the video system to the game sounds. I'm not really sure where to start with this and any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Don't bother, I returned this bunch of junk and never looked back. I'm just glad the place I bought has a two week return policy. I don't look at HP again all my computing needs.

Satellite A500-17 x: strange noise seems to play music or game
* Hi guys * (!) : ^ 0
I just bought this A500-17 x, and it's a great piece of kit and everything that is written on the box of backup for one question:
Noise poping up once every few seconds when playing music or game sounds (similar to a disc scratched or dirty) and a worping effect (sort of blur if you want) or the effect after about 5 minutes of evry sinth.
Now, I like loud music, so I thought that the speakers 'wee' can't take volume, resulting in a few popping sounds. (similar to the sets of small cheap mp3 player speakers) However, I noticed that the sound can also be heard through headphones and other speakers.
Regarding the strange noise that is worthy of the Soundtrack of Star Wars, he sews like his experiencing some difficulty of treatment.
I did the usual stuff such as changing settings, setting eqaliser, search for the drivers but to prevail.
Now if there is anyone with the same problems or knows a sollution to this problem splease let me know.
Thank you in advance...Also, feel free to use this thread to discuss all your problems sound :D

Using headphones on the Satellite A660-BT2G22-sound reads from speakers
When I plug my Satellite A660-BT2G22 portable headphone the sound plays on the speakers and headphones.
There must be a way for me to make the game sound only through the headphones and I'd really like that because I'm going to College and will have a roommate and I want to listen to my own music and other things and not force him to hear my stuff all the time.
Help, please?
This model of laptop is not known to me, but check the control panel and option for some audio Manager there. Ago on laptops with Soundcard Realtek Realtek HD Audio manager.
Check all the options, especially little folder symbol placed on the upper right side. When you click the connector settings window will open. Enable auto popup dialogue.
Now, every time when headphone is connected, you can choose helmet as one device that you want to use.Please check it out.

No sound driver and no multimedia audio control?
I clean my computer by doing a disk defragmentation, disk cleanup and uninstall programs that I don't use. Then I restarted my computer and then I had no sound at all. I tried restoring the system to get what I deleted the return, but it did not work.
He asks me if I want to install a new hardware (multimedia audio controller, but I do not have a cd). I did the whole looking for your device under "video controller and games sounds" but all what I have there is: ".
-Audio Codec.
-Legacy Audio drivers
-Hardware video Captuers
-Media control devices
-Video Codec
I also tried "roll back driver" on the yellow question mark (multimedia audio controller) and it is said that "no driver files have been backed up for your device. Ive tried to update the device by choosing a type of material. but AC 97 controller 'may not be compatible"and mess up my computer.
Im not really a computer person, so I don't know it that im doing. I don't know the brand of my sound card. I do not know how to find it or what, I just want my sound back, help!
Hello
It is likely that the sound driver was eliminated during the uninstallation of some programs. In this case, try to go to your computer manufacturer's website to download and install the audio driver. They should have ALL the drivers for your computer model. :-)
