sound settings

Hi All - This is my 1st post on this Forum. Apologies if I get things wrong. I just bought this computer from a friend who has emigrated. My previous one suffered 'electrical strike' to the MB. So I am getting used to a load of new stuff. (Windows 7, 64 bit) These problems are giving me a lot...

For all those that want to run to monitors with one being apps and one being desktop it is possible in Windows 8. I have a Nvidia GT430 and am doing this as I type. It is so easy on 8. Go to apps hit desktop button then go to charms and hit devices then 2 monitor and hit extend. I then open up...

Is there a way for me to change my sound settings to a preset setting by just pressing a button. For example, I like to play music through my microphone, and I do this by listening to my microphone than disabling it. But to actually use my microphone I would have to disable these changes...

Hello.... When I plug in my headphones, my speakers just keep on playing(although the headphones also play the audio). The headphones won't show up under audio devices, and I've tried two different sets of headphones. Does anyone know how to stop this? It was working fine yesterday.... I use...

I am trying to use Text to speech capability. I go to TEXT TO SPEECH, open it, click on PREVIEW VOICE and do not hear anything. All the other sounds work just fine - music, games, Windows notifications. What am I missing?

Have substituted a "WELCOME TO MY CASTLE" wav sound as the Windows Log-On sound. On log-on this sound is cut short to not much more than "WELCOME" and you will not hear the rest. The same holds true of some others seeming to be cut short. See no indication of a problem in device manager and I...

Hi, everytime I load a game I change the volume to say 15%, after I close the game then try it again, the sound jumps back up to 100% volume like windows has not registered the change and chosen to ignore or save my preferences. Programs like steam will continue to use the selected volume but...

My microphone keeps picking up background noises, like me breathing, my mouse and keyboard clicks. I've tried lowering ALL of the microphone "Levels" in recording settings to 0 and plugged my mic into different USB ports and I'm still getting noises, which doesnt make any sense to me. I'm...

This may be a simple question but I can't figure it out. At my work I use the Shoretel Communicator to place and receive calls. I like listening to music in between calls so it would be really nice if I was able to get the feature to work where the volume of other sounds is turned down by 80%...

My wife has a new PC. Her sound recording application only has options for the source of the sound as microphone and line in. On her old computer there was an option for an internal source, some way to intercept sound on the way to the speakers. The new PC has only on board sound. Can anyone...

Hi I changed my Windows start sound a while back. After updates some time ago, it changed back to the original. I decided to change it back the way I wanted it and opened up the imageres.dll file in the Windows System32 folder using Resource Hacker. I found that the Imageres file still...

Hi, i want to input a device in line-in, and i used 'listen to this device' but that causes a 0,5sec lag. I've read that if you up the volume under Speaker Properties=> levels tab you don't have to use the 'listen' option and the lag goes away. However, when i check my options there is...

Hey there, brand new to the forum. Impressed with the automatic similar thread finder, I believe I've found the competent board to work with for Win 7! I finally got my rear surround speakers mounted on my back wall, the problem is I'm about 3-4 feet from my front speakers and at least double...
