Play Sounds Through 2 Ports
Nov 21, 2009
I'm wondering why windows 7 doesn't allow you to play sounds thru 2 different jacks or ports. As in, my case has USB, front headphones jack, and rear speakers jack.
But I can only at one time use one of the 3. I can only have sounds routed thru my speakers. Or thru my headphone jack, or my USB headphones. I can't have 2 running.
Basically sometimes I want game sounds thru speakers and vent thru headphones. Or much simpler, I want 2 headphones running so my girlfriend and I can watch hulu together.
My audio drivers are all up to date. It's a Windows 7 option/setting or lack there of.
How do I get it to play sound thru both the front and rear speaker jacks simultaneously?

Some of my Windows sound scheme sounds do not play. In the sound scheme settings, under Program Events ,regardless of sound scheme selected, the Sound events for Windows DO NOT play, but sound events for Windows Explorer, and every single other application, DO play. When I click Test, the sound always plays, but in practice, never does. This only happens with the sound events under the Windows category� everything else plays fine. I�ve tried changing the sounds around (using different sound files), and it�s not the sound files themselves, my sound drivers, or anything like that. I�ve tried checking the registry, and that seems to be set up correctly. I�ve tried creating a new user profile, and it has the same problem. If you redirect me to a thread about similar problems, chances are, I�ve already read it if it�s easily found by a Google search. Not everyone has had the same exact problem anyway (where it plays when I click Test and only the Windows events are affected). Please don�t tell me to re-format, re-install, or repair Windows.

The problem; Note; I have connected my spekears like this (HDMI from computer to my reciver to my speakers: [URL] seems like it's my GPU that handels it and it's a GTX 670 thats up to date.
What happens is that whenever I play World of Warcraft and play music, it starts to crackle (The sound that is) and kinda goes into slow motion mode. IT happens to wow sound also, but not when I use my headphones.

I'm running a gtx 680 4gb with the latest drivers on an asus rampage iv extreme using the hdmi out of the video card to my receiver. It shows in windows that it is connected to my integra dtc-9.8 and I get a picture and multichannel sound. When I go to play a game I get multichannel sound but there is constant crackling which make it unlistenable. I'm convinced this is an NVIDIA issue and it shouldn't have anything to do with anything else hooked up to the computer (all I have is the video card and a usb keyboard and mouse.) It seems like the port isn't powerful enough to push a strong enough signal for the 5.1 audio and the video, at least that's what it seems like.

I have a Toshiba Satellite computer with a Notebook model and a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system. This laptop computer has an Intel Core i3 processor.My problem is that my Skull Candy headphones will let me hear everything except the files in my Windows Media Player. When I try to play those files, the files will play through my speakers even when the headphones are plugged into the headphone jack.When I unplug the headphones, everything works fine

I don't know what caused this; the sounds(in my headset) suddenly stop then resume again. I'm sure that it isn't caused by lag or other internet related issues, I'm using the same headset after my computer has been replaced entirely and my past OS is WinXP. But my speaker works fine and doesn't encounter that problem, I also used that in my past WinXP pc.

My computer has "No sounds" as the Control Panel/Sounds choice. It still makes a "boing" noise at odd times happens as well. Neither of these sounds are among the Windows Media .wav sounds. I did a search for .wav and listened to every .wav on my computer. The boing isn't one of them. Anyone else have this problem?

A few days ago I installed a USB 3.0 card (to be precise, this one: 2-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCI-E Controller Card - Free Shipping - DealExtreme). It uses the very common NEC PD720200 USB 3.0 controller. I installed the required drivers for Windows 7, and the card worked fine for the first day or so. but not since. Whenever I plug in a USB 3.0 external hard drive, I get a false "This device can perform faster..." message, as if I had plugged the drive in a USB 2.0 port.
The external drive I am using is a Western Digital MyBook Essential 1130. It is definitely a USB 3.0 drive, and came with the required USB 3.0 cable. While the USB 3.0 card was working, I got full-speed transfers to the limit of the hard drive's ability, about 90-100 MB/s. Now I can only get USB 2.0 speeds (33-34 MB/s). Windows insists I have the drive plugged into a USB 2.0 port even though it is plugged directly into the USB 3.0 card.
Things I tried so far: -rebooting and complete power cycle. No difference. -plugging the drive into one port or the other. Also no difference. -Looked in Device manager.The controller is recognized as a USB 3.0 device is using the proper NEC drivers.
Other info that may be important:
-No overclocking settings in use.
-I made sure the cable was plugged in all the way. It's in as far as it can go, but the ports will still only act like USB 2.0 ports.
I might as well throw the card away if it is only going to act as a USB 2.0 device.

how can I play a video in jet audio (or any other media program) on one monitor while I play a fullscreen game on the other. I can get it to work with streams off of website like own3d.tv and twitch.tv, and I can even run the streams in full screen. However when I try to run a movie through jet audio or even just play music through zune player, they freeze up. The audio will still come through, but either the picture is frozen in place or the zune player seems to get frozen.

Since I put in Win 7 over the weekend, I have been getting a new sound. I have been d/l several large (2 gig) files restoring my programs. It seems when the HD starts working extra hard, I hear this "ding, ding, ding". One about every second as long as the HD is working hard. It doesn't seem to interfere with the operation, but I am always suspect of sounds that are new.

I'm new here and I'm having a problem with my sounds. I just installed Windows 7 RC 7100 64 bit last night and after I got everything installed today, I noticed songs that are being played in Winamp get a bit choppy when I'm browsing in Firefox (such as scrolling). ASUS G1 Intel 945PM Chipset Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz T7200 667MHz FSB 4MB L2 Cache, Nvidia GeForce Go 7700 512mb (in DxDiag, it shows Approx. Total Memory: 1720 MB; I'm guessing it's using my rams also for additional memory, is this common.

I know I have not discovered anything new with the following problem, but I have not yet read a workable solution.
I find the "bleeps" and "bonks" most annoying when I am navigating around Windows 7, and I am well aware what it says in the personalise/sound menus. The trouble is that opting for "no sound", or switching off individual sounds does not work. I have spent many hours on this problem, to little avail.
if there is a glitsch somewhere in the system,and if there is a solution other than to turn the speakers off. This would be a bit drastic some some of the sounds are useful.

none of my error sounds are working!!! it doesn't matter if they are the default sounds or custom ones, they won't work!!! they won't even work when I go into system sounds and hit 'test' still no sound played but if I navigate to C:\windows\media and double click the sound files, they play in Windows Media Player just fine they just won't work when the error sound needs to I tried restarting the computer but still NONE of my error sounds will work!!! I also tried to reassociate the error sounds in the system sound setting but still won't sound the startup and shutdown sounds DO NOT work either.

One night watching online tv sound disappeared and then few second later came back.So now I am getting random times where sound just cuts out for 2 - 40 seconds, This happens when watching movies, playing games, listening to music and ect.I got a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express Sound card and my on-board sound chip is disabled and I got Logitech 5.1 x-540 Surround systemI've done some tests when the sound cut off I plugged the audio cable to on-board chip(Enabled it for the test) and then the sound card but they both had no sound. So I am guessing its not hardware issue. I did nu-installed old drivers and installed new ones but they haven't fixed the issue.

I have an odd problem whenever I am listening to music, or whenever windows makes any sort of sound (like error alerts, log off sound etc)Any sound is played distorted and is completely beyond recognition. I noticed that this only happens when I have an AVG scan running and if I pause/continue the scan, the music will change almost instantly. This suddenly started about a week ago and I hadn't installed any new software or anything.

My computer has been crashing recently and i don't know why. It seems to be most frequent when i open a program quickly after logging on but it's only the case about 70% of the times.The crashing is always in 3 steps:
- ticking sounds for about a minute where my mouse is able to move on the screne but nothing responds
- Blue screen error message which says: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. A process of thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly - or been terminted. If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps: chek to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed ...If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware. Disable eror memory option such as caching or shadowing. ...
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x000000000000).FFFFFA80676CD)0.0xFFFFFa50610.0xFFFFF80031D815)
... Physical memory dump FAILED with status 0xC0000010.
- computer turns off
When i turn my computer on, it asks me to turn it on on safe mode or not, if i say no, sometimes it happens again (up to 2 times) sometimes no.

I've recently put my new system together and since then i've been experiencing several Blue Screen of Deaths.
First i thought it was on the video driver, as windows crashed alot when alt-tabbing back into games, but my most recent crash was when i clicked on " next song" in windows media player. I've read a bit on it on the net, and it seems that updating the sounddriver should fix it, but as the crashes are random i'd like some extra advice so that i'm sure i'm not missing anything.
The BSoD tells me that it was ATIHDMI.sys that crashed.
