Windows Media Player

[tltrude]

Ever since I installed SPS2 in my Windows XP Home, there is a strange problem with Windows Media Player. When I adjust the location slider the volume goes way loud. If I click on the little volume control slider button it go back to normal.

Anyone else seen this happen?

Never seen this happen. You already updated to windows media player 10? It's the lastest version, hope that would fix the problem.

i didnt have it ever happen. but it now happens with msn audio:: on 7.5

you listening to some mohaa shooting and then someoen starts talking and the sound goes full volume!

msn 8 , i hope they improve the sound more even though they were supposed to of improved it for 7.5 which is bad. msn bought a company like skype..hmm.



anyway. i have a sound card and i also have my sound drivers/device that is my headset.

Does anyone know how i could make windows use both sound devices at the same time?

i can do it through making the apps use one device or the other and then another app using the other but i would like to be able to have WMP use both headset and sound card.

So i could have my USB headset and then another 3 headsets that plug into the sound card. So i could have 3 headsets at once. atm i can only manage 2 max:(, i could buy a cabl splitter or something? instead of a driver splitter:S if one is out there?

If your sound card doesn't support hardware mixing you cannot do anything about it. If it was Linux, you could just use a software mixer.

i dont really understand. why would a sound card have anything with hardware mixing:S?

i need to use 2 different driver devices at the same time. the hardware can work at the same time. but i dont know how to make a media player use both drivers at the same time.


its not the same as say a webcam where it can only be used with once thing ( some webcams) . U can get splitters for the,m but i dont know about making a peice of made software play to both USB headset and sound card.

maybe i cud buy a wire splitter, i can plug a headset into the card on pc and also another into its external hub. my sound card has a hub:S

but then my otherheadset is useless cos sound card is the sound device for that player:(

maybe i could set sound card as the audio out for the player. Then set it for autio in in sound settings. and headset as record play back, then record what i hear with sound card and listen on headset and sound card.

I have Windows Media Player 10, and it worked fine untill I installed SPS2. At least I think that is when this problem started. My sound card is the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2.

My old computer had the Creative Sound Blaster Live card and it did not have a seperate jack for a headset. So I had to buy a "Y" cord for the sound output. My new computer has jacks in the front for my headset. I hear sound from both my headset and the main speakers at the same time--which is good.

Elgan - are you talking about an MSN voice chat program?
