| 452972 | 2006-05-07 10:06:00 | I have no sound when playing a dvd in wmp10, video playback is normal. Sound is ok with an audio cd. dvd video & audio playback is normal with Nero Showtime. I have a soundblaster live card & built in audio on the mb. I normally use the mic input on the mb for headphone mic & the speakers via soundblaster for audio when videoconferencing on msn, this is to eliminate feedback. There are no conflicts in device manager. The problem started when I plugged in decent stereo headphones into the mb speaker socket & changed the default audio playback from soundblaster to mb. It worked ok, sound in headphones was ok. When I changed it back to soundblaster for default audio output win media player was silent. Any clues ? |

Since you have to use both soundcards, just so you dont get feedback. Or wouldnt muting the mic under sound / sound playback do the same thing?? Stop the feedback? |

| 452974 | 2006-05-08 09:20:00 | I've used 2 separate soundcards (for want of a better description) for ages & had no problem. If you use the mic in the wecam it picks up the speaker sound & goes for an infinate loop. Having the mic separate & hanging round my neck eliminates this problem. I tried using the soundblaster mic socket & it didn't like it. I tried a video conference last night & the mic's stopped working too now, mmmmm. All because I had the audacity to play a dvd. | Phil B (648) | ||
| 452975 | 2006-05-08 12:21:00 | I think you can nominate which hardware device to use for like recording & playback. Check the settings under the sounds and audio icon in control panel. To be honest, i would never run 2 sound device on windose, even if there were no conflicts. Would be better to use shielded speakers & mic etc. Have never had bad feedback on sound blasters thou on-board audio chip are prone for this. |
