How to have all audio playback with headphones and replace the speakers

headphones and speakers - interface

This is probably a stupid and basic question normally, I'd be embarrassed to ask. But I'm old enough not not to be bothered much more. I would like to have all the sound elements come through the headset and replace the speakers. But when I plug the headset comes through both. It worked fine a few days back, but not now. Help!  Please, I beg you!

Hi pam1948,

Here are some steps that you can follow and check if they help you in fixing the issue:

Make sure that the headset is set as audio device by default.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.
2. click on the read tab.
3. select headphones and then click set as default.
4. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click set upand make sure that the configurations are set correctly.
5. click OK to save your settings.

Kind regards

  • Audio works with headphones, but not the speakers

    Hello, I have a DELL XPS17.  The sound works fine with headphones, but no sound when the headphones are disconnected.

    Note that I had the opposite problem (its good speaker, but no helmet) and then updated the driver.  Once the new driver has been installed, the problem was reversed.  Very strange: Pei

    Last driver installed is Audio_RLTK_W7_A05_Setup-J3VMR_ZPE

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello. You can test your speakers by running test audio fast ePSA or PSA tests.

    You can test the audio driver by opting for the native Windows audio driver. If you get the same symptoms with the native driver, then you can exclude a bug in the driver from Realtek. This Realtek driver has been around for awhile now and has no bugs that I know.

    • 1. open Device Manager (found in the Control Panel, or type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    • 2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    • 3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    • 4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    • 5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    • 6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    • 7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    • 8. click on "next".
    • 9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    • 10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    • [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse steps 2-7 names].

    If the speakers and the driver to pass the tests, you might have failed to sense pin into the headphones Jack, explained in the FAQ of Jack for headphones.

  • Audio playback through headphones and speakers

    Headphones or speakers in windows 7, it cannot have them both?

    Looked at other issues, nothing seemed close.

    My machine has dual boot, Windows 7, XP and Vista ultimate and now XP. In XP and Vista I have the speakers and headphones plugged together, playerd noise, so I could use one or the other by plugging them in front and back taken audio.

    This allows me to play during the day with speakers, and then at night with headphones and no round reaching under my desk to remove the cables.

    Now I use windows 7 and many other issues I have with it, I can't play with speakers or headset until I went through a lot stupid click on deactivate one or choose the other as a default value. Why this has been changed in windows 7 after Vista, it seems totally useless logic. I can turn off my speakers with the power button and get the helmet works. Now, I'm either or. So my new IR headphones are wasted. Please, someone tell me there is a work around?

    It's little interference silliness like this that give me want to stay under XP.

    Much thanks in the meantime someone has found a work around.

    I have my Jabra GN9350 both my speakers for computer, audio playback at the same time. :)

    Here's the trick (and it is verified on 3 other systems Win 7):

    (1) R click on your speaker icon, select "Recording Devices" (if you have the sounds dialog box to the top, it's the 2nd 'Recording' tab)

    (2) click on R in the white space, make sure that the TWO "show disabled devices" AND "show disconnected devices" is checked.

    (3) * now, this step will take some thought for each computer used: on my laptop (HP Elitebook) I get a "Stereo mix" device, ACTIVATE this device.

    4) click on properties, click on the "Listen" tab

    (5) check the box 'Listen to this device', also change the drop-down list below 'read through this device' to be your second audio device

    -To check that you have done this correctly, go back to the tab of the dialog box sound reading, you should now see two of your audio devices showing green graphics small displacement.

    Here are the specific parameters that I have on my laptop, maybe this will help you with your settings:

    Speakers - GN9350 (by default the communications device)

    Speakers - SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (default device)

    Feature 'Listen' stereo Mix - point this device on my GN9350 headset.

  • How to have all audio pan in the Middle?

    I'm new to first (the FCP 7 like a lot) and really miss me the ability to have all the sound elements just go in the middle.  My sound engineer gave me a stereo file with dialogue an actor channel and another channel on the right to the left, etc.. Creation of a height of these extreme left and right - I don't want that. Want it all in the Middle so I'm editing, I don't want the players bouncing right and extreme left. I'm not sound mixing, just edit photo.

    I looked in the Audio Mixer Panel and the pan knob is in the Center, so that's not all.


    Cannot change the drop-down list under change Clip Clip channel stereo format.  It is not selectable, so I can't do all the Mono (if that's even possible).


    Normally I would split the stereo track so that it's two mono tracks, but the first does not let you do this. If I had hardware mixer, I would be just the stereo signal to mono sum, but I did not.  It is just out of my computer speakers.


    Help!


    Thank you.



    You can change a clip before placing it on the timeline in order to have two-channel mono instead of stereo. Click with the right button on the assets in the project Panel select Edit / Audio channels.

  • help with search and replace the script please

    Hi all

    I wrote a javascript that uses various find/change GREP and text to copy text from the first two paragraphs of a document and use them elsewhere (in the head of the race and feet), and now I want to delete the first two paragraphs. Not sure how I would do. If I was doing a search/replace manual (with nothing selected) it would automatically choose the first para in the first text box, but when I run the following:

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "^.» + $» ;
    app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo ="";
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep ();

    It is all the records and removes them. I was going to include the code twice; once to remove the first paragraph, then again to remove the other (first new) paragraph. My JS skills are weak, but I'm very uncomfortable with GREP. Can someone point me in the right direction for how I achieve what I want? If I made a loop for surely I would just do the same thing but more than once!

    Much to my surprise the rest of the script works even if it hurts my brain!

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    Iain

    The command 'changeGrep' is a 'change everything' - there is no equivalent of the buttons "change, following" and "find next".

    Normally, all that is necessary is to remove the first paragraph of a story asset is the following:

    myStory.paragraphs [0] .remove ();

    (and I'm sure you can work, because you are already copying him) but just for fun, you can try this solution Pure GREP:

    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\A.*\r";

    Once again replacing it with nothing.

    (It is preferable to use the function 'delete', however).

  • How do remove you audio from a video and then use an audio of a different video to put in the first video?

    I have a video with good quality video but audio very bad, but I have another video of the episode even with the bad video but the sound quality. How can I remove the audio good video bad and replace it in the latest version of Windows movie maker on Windows 7 with audio video bad?

    Basically, you need to capture the sound quality to a separate mp3 file outside the filmmaker and then delete the wrong audio track and the good idea of layering.

    According to the source, this could be as simple as recording audio reading even if you end up with poor quality than the one you want to replace. If a file, it is possible to upload a video to mp3 converter.

  • Thunderbird does not all files except "inbox." and against the info 'aid', there is NO 'account settings' under 'Tools' & I have the latest version of T.

    Thunderbird does not all files except "inbox." and against the info 'aid', there is NO 'account settings' under 'Tools' & I have the latest version of T. I just need to download the SENT MESSAGES, Inbox not only.

    Re: Where is 'account settings '.
    If you do not see 'Tools', then you do not have your active 'Menu Bar'.
    See picture below on the activation of all the toolbars make life easier.

    Different methods of location of the 'account settings ':
    Via the toolbar "Menu Bar":

    • Tools > accounts settings

    Through the pane of folders:

    • Right-click on the name of the e-mail account in the folders pane, and then select "settings".

    Via "Menu Icon.

    • Menu icon > Options > account settings

    Re: I need to download sent Messages Inbox not only.
    E-mail accounts IMAP see a remote view of the files on the server.
    You subscribe to view these folders in Thunderbird.
    You synchronize directories subscribed for a copy in Thunderbird.
    What you do in a folder for example imap: delete, will occur on the server, so viewing via webmail or Thunderbird folders appear identical.

    However, in your case, it seems that you have created a POP e-mail account.
    E-mail POP accounts can only connect to Inbox server and download server Inbox for the Thunderbird Inbox pop e-mail account.
    It's not a quirk of Thunderbird; This is how all Pop mail represents the work.

    There is a work around to get "sent" in the folder mail sent from server in Thunderbird. You just do it once, because when you send it through Thunderbird, it will put the e-mails in the folder sent TB pop mail account and not on the server.

    Thunderbird creates a "Sent" folder when first send you an email.
    So, if you have not yet sent an email, please send one, even if only to yourself.

    Then, move all inbox emails in the appropriate folders.
    You can create new folders to organize them.

    How to create a new folder:

    • Right-click on the name of the e-mail account, and then select "new folder."
    • Give an appropriate file name and click "create a folder".

    When the Inbox is empty:

    • Logon to the Web e-mail account by using a browser.
    • Move all emails "Sent" in the "Inbox".

    In thunderbird:

    • Click on 'Get the message'

    all the "Sent" emails must get downloaded from the server Inbox anto your Inbox in Thunderbird.

    • Then move all your emails in the 'Sent' Thunderbird folder.

    You should now have all these emails downloaded from the server and display in Thunderbird.

    First, save the video attachment in a folder of your choice.
    Now, if you have Vista Home Premium or ultimate, you have a program called Windows DVD Maker included. You can use it to burn the video to DVD.
    If you don't have the program, then you will need to google for a video to DVD converter.
