NCAA games go to bad audio device, even when I say o/s otherwise. How to replace Firefox?

I guess that's a FF issue, since everything else seems to work OK. I have a USB headset plugged into the USB hub under my desk. I use the properties of the Audio devices > Audio in the control panel (XP Pro) to switch between the headphones and speakers of the laptop.

The problem is that I can't sound through Laptop speakers playing games via Firefox NCAA without unplugging the USB headset physically. I hate to crawl under my desk to do it. If I tell the OS what speakers to use, do not change it. I should be able to force audio to speakers for computer without physically disconnect them. I use my laptop to a large number of web conversations with my helmet, but I don't want to physically disconnect when I what to listen without headphones.

No sooner had I posted my complaint that I discovered that other applications have the same problem, although I said otherwise. And FF works fine if the USB headset is activated as the device by default until I start FF (or tab maybe the FF). Maybe the 'problem' is the operating system, if it does not notify a change of aircraft FF. Or, maybe the problem is FF, if it does not acknowledge the notification from the OS.

In any case, I now have a work-around that seems compatible with other applications on Windows. However, any other ideas would be appreciated always. I think that changing the operating system's audio playback device must notify immediately and performed by all applications using the headphones/speakers/whatever, regardless of when the application started.

Bye... done so far

  • Audio problem: Audio continues even when a pause button slide

    Should be a simple solution, but for some reason that I can't just understand this point, so thanks in advance. Basically, I drag audio synchronized to the content on a slide. At some point, I have a set button that stops after 2 seconds have a learning to spend some time looking at a table and then using the button, continue when they are ready. However, for some reason any this button is paused the slide... but not audio of the slide that throws everything out. Any ideas?

    Solved. Did not really understand why kept the audio play when the slide had indeed suspended, but I fixed it just by removing the slide audio, split the audio track, the first of the two tracks played at the entrance in the slide, then used a button apply a tip action that 'continue' and 'audio play' as well during the break (reading of track 2).

  • Windows does not recognize tv as audio device after it has been turned off and turned back on.

    I have my computer hooked up to a HD TV with the HDMI cable.  The sound also pretended on television.  The HDMI cable is connected to my Radeon HD 6950.  I use Realtek HD Audio Manager with the ATI HMDI default Audio device.  All records are up-to-date.

    When I put my TV off and leave the computer running, I go back and turn on the TV and the computer behaves as the TV is not plugged, but only for audio.  The video is still there.  In the audio playback window, I noticed that Windows would go to the optical audio device, even though there is nothing plugged into this Jack.  I disabled all other devices and left only the HDMI device, so it will not move on.  Now when I turn on the TV it is just like nothing is plugged in at all for the audio.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    1. What is the brand and model of your computer?
     
    2. which edition of Windows are you running?
     
    Example: Windows 7 Professional 32 bit.
     
    It could also be a possibility that a manual entry is required from your TV to the HDMI connection, please check your Menu\setting where the HDMI and PC connection is checked once it is connected to options to switch the Audio and TV screens.
     
    Please follow the steps mentioned below to help solve the problem.

    If you do not see the enhancements tab in the speakers Properties dialog box, these features are not available for your speakers, and this procedure is not applicable to your computer.
     
    If disabling audio enhancements solves the audio problem you are having, this indicates usually that your audio driver needs to be updated.

  • How can I check my audio device

    Run my laptop jusst stop of the sounds I have windows xp and I did everything and it says to check my audio device

    Type "Control Panel" in the Run dialog box and check your audio device.  If it says no audio device is installed, check if it is already installed.  You can do this through the control panel > administrative tools > computer management > Device Manager.  Check around here to see if your audio device is there.  If not, add it from the control panel.  It's 'Add Hardware' in Control Panel.  If it's there, uninstall and reinstall through Control Panel.
