(Vista) Is there a PRACTICE way to switch between speakers and analog headset?

(Vista) Is there a PRACTICE way to switch between speakers and analog headset? Must I ALWAYS return the default setting, depending on which audio output device I want to use?

We have recently installed Music Maker 16.  Before that, we never had a need for headphones and a microphone.  Now, in trying to use the headphone and microphone - and THEN switch back to speakers - we discover a problem.  Apparently, the only way to do it is to change the audio output device by default EVERY time.

The dispute with this cannot be more of this.  My son records a beat and singing (with headphone and microphone), and then, play through speakers (so we can all hear), we need to change the default settings.  And back...  There must be a better way!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please talk layman jargon; I'm not a COMPUTER guru.  Thank you!!!

Hi AnnieElle,

You will need to switch between the speakers and the analog device and special value to use as the default device. There is no way to set the device to be used at the same time. You can follow the steps below to switch between the speaker and analog device.

1. right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar.

2. click on the playback device.

3. Select speakers or analog device.

4. right-click on it and click on set as default device.

Hope the above information helps.

Thank you and best regards,

  • Switch between integrated and dedicated graphics

    I have a XPS 17 (L702X) and I wonder if there is any way to switch between the dedicated Nvidia Geforce GT555M graphics card integrated into the processor. I ask this because I rarely use it for games and so on and I need to have a little more battery. Given that he uses all the time the NVidia it drain the battery.

    To quote that I have i7 2670 QM and after doing some research, he has integrated graphics.

  • No way to distinguish between failure and normal when to get the document of the UCM?

    Hello

    I use the service GET_FILE below to get the document from the Complutense University of MADRID

    request.putLocal (IdcService.NAME, IdcService.GET_FILE);
    request.putLocal (IdcDocumentAttribute.DOCUMENT_ID, dID);
    request.putLocal (IdcDocumentAttribute.NAME, dDocName);

    and then the output stream:
    ServiceResponse response = client.sendRequest (context, dataBinder);
    InputStream inputStream = response.getResponseStream ();

    they work most of the time very well.
    However, in this case, exception that I can't file, rather than receive exception, I always get a steady stream until I got out of the stream as a string, I realized that this is a format string HDA indicating failure.

    I wonder if there is no way to distinguish between failure and normal exit without open the output string stream?
    Thank you.

    We expect that the user can download the document so successfully in the form of output stream.

    It's probably a bad support, as you have already seen ;-)

    Is the output as string-HDA when the expected of the UCM rather than throwing exception failure?

    It should be pretty easy parse the real answer to retrieve the status code the system riser. You should not need to open the file to find the error.

    Something like

    response.getLocal("StatusCode")
    

    should tell you if the file has been found. A-16 status code means that the file could not be found. In the case of a successful GET_FILE, it does appear that a status code is still present, so test just for the mere presence of a status code should be sufficient.

  • Quick way to switch between desktop applications

    Hello.

    From what I understand, the "move to the top left corner, click and move down the left edge"Win8 maneuver only works with modern applications. "

    Using desktop for most applications, I often find it difficult to move quickly from one to the other. The taskbar or desecration bar (alt + tab) are much too crowded.

    Is there a way faster and more efficient?

    Oh and by the way, what happens to the spinning wheel (Win + tab key)?

    What Windows Key + Tab

    There also 3rd party software to change your Alt + Tab completely as VistaSwitcher (I think it is compatible with Windows 8)
    The task bar are a good way to switch between desktop applications too
    You can the software in the taskbar next to the line and proceed with the Windows key + 1,2,3,4

    Hello stilley,.

    I'm now working with DW CC, so I can only show you how to work with it, but I'm sure it's the same way:

    In my German DW:

    Bearbeiten > Tastaturbefehle > screenshot > files > Kurzbefehle +-taste press > change > Ok.

    Translated something like:

    Edition > keyboard shortcuts > screenshot

    > Files > shortcuts + - press > edit > Ok.

    Hello

    The Intel graphics chip, which is part of the central unit should be used for low performance applications, because it allows you to save energy and reduce the internal temperature.

    For best performance while game, it s advisable to use the external GPU (nVidia or AMD)

    Here, you should choose manage them 3D settings (can be found on the left in the nVidia control panel)

    Now in the main window, you will find two global settings and program parameters tabs
    In the program settings tab, select the (game) program that needs to use the nVIdia GPU

    If it is not listed, click the Add button

  • Switching between microphone and line-in in the Realltek Sound Manager

    Ok.
    Now I know where the Realtek Sound Manager, and I can control the parameters of the microphone and speakers.
    But how can I switch between microphone and line-in?
    At the moment I don't see a line of component option snap at all. Is it because it's a kind of auto detect and the opportunity every time I connect something?
    Everyone knows this, or has some experience in this regard?
    Cordially in advance
    Frans

    Sorry but I don't understand what exactly you want.
    You have built in mic or you can use the external microphone connected to the mic-in port.
    When the external microphone is connected a resident will be disabled.

    The question is: what do you want exactly and for what purposes? Please explain what is the reason for this switching between mic and line-in port?

  • What is the best way to switch between the two sets of bookmarks, say 'work' and 'private '?

    I want to use for sets of bookmarks, so that when I'm not working, I'm not distracted by my favorites not work and vice versa. For the last two months, I use two user accounts to achieve, but it's kinda a PITA. Links from other applications like Thunderbird mail are opened in the default profile. In other words, when I'm not at work and I click on a link in an e-mail, a new window opens with the work of my Firefox profile.

    All I need is a thing or an extension to switch quickly sets bookmark. Or a way to switch profiles without having to open a new Firefox window. Any ideas?

    You can not get Firefox works as you explain that you want. The default profile cannot be changed on the fly for the profile you are currently using. This message "Firefox is already running... "returns to cause you or 'something' trying to open a profile 2 (or later), unless -no-remote command has been used to open the additional profile. And -no-remote will not work to open the default profile without causing problems with the way Windows works with "call" the default browser.

    In response to your last statement - "to separate my work and private stuff I just need to change the content of my bookmarks bar, so I was hoping there was a trick to keep groups of favourites."

    This extension will allow you to change the Bookmarks Toolbar folder while you use Firefox.
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/set-as-bookmarks-toolbar-folde/
    I just installed this extension and check that it still works in 35 of Firefox.
    There is a context menu item for 'Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder' ' which appears when the Menu Bookmarks menu Bar drop-down is used (not in the library window or the bookmarks bar). This menu item is displayed when you right-click a folder in the folder Menu bookmarks. It does not appear with the folder "Personal bar" or the "Unsorted Bookmarks" - only a folder in the Menu "Favorites".
    Should be 'resolved' eager to have two different settings for the bookmarks toolbar, but the profile default 'thing' is always a problem for what you are trying to accomplish. I don't 'see a fix' for that - without resorting to a 2nd user account window, which is what I thought you were referring to by "I use two user accounts to achieve" in your initial post.
    And because the menu bar is hidden by default, these days, you can use Alt and B to open the bookmarks menu dropdown Bar Menu 'revealed' so you can access this menu "Set as bookmarks toolbar folder" item - without having to show the Menu Bar all the time.

    BTW, using 'accounts' instead of 'Profiles' can be confusing during the review of Firefox profiles.

    Hi shamorau,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) do you have because of recent changes, after which the problem occurred?

    The first thing I would say is to update or rather uninstall and reinstall display drivers and who might have to deal with the issue.

    Also I suggest you try to use another monitor to see if it is not a problem with the monitor.

    Let us know if the problem persists after the driver updates.

  • Is there a quick way to change their font and all types of text caption?

    I am convert several projects Cp4 Cp5. I would change all the text captions of their current type of legend to the one I use now. Types of caption and text inside them being independent, I would change the font as well. I can do manually, of course, but is there a better way?

    Thank you

    James

    Hello

    Check if the legends of text all use the same style of the object (perhaps Style default caption)? If so, change the text captions and choose then apply this to all objects with... (in the Center, curved arrow icon). If you want to add captions more with the same style, be sure to also save this as the default style (second icon, the floppy).

  • Is there a quick way to navigate between the image tags?

    I use the scroll at the bottom of the timeline bar to go to different periods. It's slow I have thousands of images. I wonder if there is a similar interface like window Actions of the labels on the timeline. I mean you can see all the scripts in the left pane and be able to go there directly by clicking on anyone on the list. I would be fine if you can see all your labels in a menu and click here to go there directly (I think that). Maybe I can put a dummy script in different label, and then I can use the Action window of to go.

    Is there a better way?

    Thank you!
