New headset, but certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not headphones.

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Hello,
Hello,
I just recently purchased a new headset for gaming but have been having some issues with it and the system sound. One major issue is when I call someone on skype, the sound from Skype or the call will go through the headphones, but any other audio comes out of the speakers. I have also notices that iTunes also does not function when I am in a call as well. Some examples would be if I were to want to watch a YouTube video while in a call, the sound would come through the speakers and not the headphones. However, I did find a fix for it. All I had to do was disable the main speakers and the audio was transmitted to the headphones. Another example would be if I wanted to run games via Steam (Garry's Mod, TF2, ect.), I wouldn't get any sound whatsoever from the game. Not through my speakers or headphones. With one exception, Garry's Mod volume I can hear through the speakers while in a Skype call, but I want the sound to come through the headphones. But with TF2, I get no sound whatsoever. If you need any more information about my issue, please feel free to ask. Thank you.

Hello @LayneStaley,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not the headphones, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To ensure that your headphones are utilized when plugged into your notebook, I recommend following the steps below:
1. Click the Start button
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's main speakers). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
6. Select the newly enabled speaker device, right-click it, and select "Set as Default Device".
7. Click Apply.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

thanks,
Jover

pegs4art,
Being able to have a conversation clearly is definitely important when using a phone and it does concern us to hear you are having this issue. We will work together to get this resolved for you however. I would just like to clarify a few things to make sure we are on the same page. When you say headset are you speaking of the phone itself or do you have headphones? Do you notice the same result when you are using the speakerphone?

Help me find a new headset for iPhone!

Apple sure can design some awesome products, but sometimes they think a little too different or not different enough on the simplest things. Like their mice. The Mighty Mouse has some awesome functionality, but I never owned one whose scrollball lasted more than a few months. Their earbuds suck too. The problem is so simple: the speaker on each earbud is placed so that your ear canal never receives the full sound. It almost seems deliberate. Why, even after a redesign, are the centers of the speakers placed in the middle of each bud, even though the wire coming out of each bud is off center so that it can slide into your ear and rest on your tragus. How can they not see the problem? The sound quality is actually not that bad, but you never get to hear it all without shoving the buds farther in with your fingers.
That's what I like about Sony's earbuds.
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11038782
You can't see it there, but the speakers are placed closest to where the bud meets the ear canal. You get more sound. And they're also really affordable.
It's just too bad that Apple doesn't want you using any earbuds other than their own on iPhone! The headphone jack is under that friggin' opening that just so happens to allow the supplied headset to fit perfectly snug in it. My L-shaped Sony connector doesn't fit. But even if I could get it to fit, it would be hard to give up that little remote/mic combo that Apple's supplied headset has. It's a headset that's cool and crappy at the same time.
So what would you recommend? I listen to music a lot on my iPhone, so I want better sound than Apple's willing to offer. However, I also want to be able to pause and skip music and answer calls without showing the world I own a hot new iPhone. What solution offers the best of both of those worlds as well as comfort? Bluetooth, wired... it's all good.

Keep in mind, they do not (yet) have the button
included with the mic, the next version will. From
v-moda:
"The first generation VIBE DUOs do not have the
control button. This keeps them lightweight for an
active lifestyle and universally compatible with all
cell phones with the use of an adaptor. The next
generation of the DUO, set to come out next month,
will come equipped with the answer/play/pause/skip
control! This handy feature will provide the
convenience you are accustomed to, but it will only
be compatible with the iPhone. Keep checking our
website at www.shop.v-moda.com for updates and
release dates.
Rock on,
Thanks for the heads up. I knew there was a reason I had not ordered them yet. I guess I can wait a little bit.
What I would REALLY like to have is a set of Bluetooth headphones! I've seen a pair for iPod but not specifically iPhone. They do use a little adaptor but I'm hoping someone will come up with a more elegant design. I really wish they had just built in A2DP in the first place.

How Can I Test New Apple Cinema Display?

My new 30" Apple Cinema Display arrived today but the arrival of my MacBook Pro is still 4 weeks out (I ordered both at the same time for dual warranty purposes). I cannot hook this ACD to my wife's 12" PB and the only other computer that may have the ability is my daughter's new iMac Intel Core Duo (but I'm not sure if it will power the 30" ACD). I would like to test for stuck or dead pixels. Can I plug the AC cord into an outlet and no video connection then power on or will this show no pixel anomolies, or worse, cause potential harm to my display? Anyone? Thanks to all that may reply.
PS: I threatened to cancel my order unless the Supervisor allowed me time to evaluate the new monitor the full 2 weeks AFTER the arrival of my MacBook Pro, so I have plenty of time, just no computer to run the darn thing!
PowerBook G4 12" aluminum & iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5) Apple 30" Cinema Display w/ iLift LCD monitor arm

I think pretty much any Mac with DVI will drive the 30" ACD, just not at the native resolution. You will get 1280x800. But if you are just looking at a solid full screen of a single color, for the purpose of trying to spot dead/stuck pixles, the low res shouldn't make any difference at all for such purposes.

Testing new Installation of WL Platform 8.1

Hi,
We are deploying WebLogic 8.1 Platform in our company. We just installed it and
would like to make sure everything is working fine.
What are the tests conducted to make sure all components of the platform (Portal,
Workshop, Integrator, JRockit and Server) are all installed and configured correctly?
Are there any standard suites of tests that are performed commonly in the WebLogic
world when a new installation is done?
Thanks,
Anjali

Top posting is also considered improper also. You mean do not "multipost"
vs. crosspost also. This is the appropriate forum, so could you elaborate
on where you put this other info?

Test: NEW soundblaster z DRIVER ( SBZ_CD_L13_1_00_28 )

creative has launched new SBZ_CD_L13_1_00_28 driver for soundblaster z seris in december 2014..i installed it immedialty with hope more performance improvements.. but
testing the new driver was a huge dissapointment for me. my advise is DO NOT INSTALL it.. there is big performance problem with this driver.. when i install the driver,i saw serious fps drops in games, espicially when alchemy enabled. at first i thought this happend because of new graphic card drivers but it wasnt. when i reinstall previous driver of soundblaser z the problem was solved.. my cpu boosted , no fps drops and works great with alchemy as well.. i think creative will relaunch new driver soon..

Yes sure;
-Gigabyte h61m-s2pv mainboard
-gigabyte Gtx 650ti nvida graphics card
-creative soundblaster z sound card
-intel i5-3470 cpu
-8gb kingston ddr3 hyperx ram
-120 gb kingston ssd drive
-500gb samsung 7200rpm hdd drive
-windows 8.1 64bit
I like my soundblaster z because of its performance.. It doesnt matter what sound settings you use, soundblaster process all audio without overload my cpu.. But with new driver i feel like the cpu usage has increased.. This easly can be seen espicially when alchemy enabled.. Im not talking about specific game.. My all games are affected.. Pes15, grid autosports, call of duty advNced warfare.. I reinstall priveous driver.. Problem solved ..i got again Nice performance with quality sounds what i expected form my soundblaster..

Howto test new or modified network infrastructures with standardized testing methods?

Hi,
I'm sure many of you regularly do tests of new or modified network infrastructures before going live. And you developed detailed plans and schedules how to test, how I did too.
Does anybody know if there exist standardized testing methods for this cases?
Like recommendations how to check features, performance, hardware failures, convergence times, software updates, network management etc.?
Does Cisco offer information concerning that?
Especially for software testing there exist many methods to check if it's working properly, but for technical it infrastructures I did not find any informations.
Best Regards
Thorsten

I guess you are looking for something like this -
http://www.ciscopress.com/store/enterprise-network-testing-testing-throughout-the-network-9781587141270
should say I don't own the book or have ever read it.
I have never come across a set of standardised testing methods in the same way software has but that's is not particularly surprising when you consider networking as an industry is a long way behind other parts of IT in that respect.
We are all still using CLI for most of our jobs :-)
I suspect with SDN that there will be a far more extensive range of testing tools available in the long run but we aren't there yet.
Personally I do pretty much what you already have. When I was involved in design we had proof of concept labs where we could test it would actually work and which often fed back into the design.
Then we had to test it with the existing production environment to see how it impacted on what we already had.
If all that went well we then pretty much knew what tests we needed to run when we implemented it into production.

Testing new sip trunk for an upgraded system....

Hey all,
Hoping I can get a quick direction on this.....
We are upgrading our call center servers and need to point a few test toll free numbers.
I have already created a test sip trunk....here's where it all gets muddy for me. What do I need to do to route 4 specific toll free numbers to hit this specific sip trunk instead of going to our current one?
Any docs and verbal guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance all!

Ok, so here's what i did....
I created the following >>> RG with new server as member>RL with the new RG as member>RP
We already have a RP of 5[1-9]XXX which matches the DNIS of the 4 toll free numbers we are using for this test, so I just went ahead and created an exact match RP of 59796. (I'll create the other 3 if I can get this to work)
Before I created all this, the call went to our sales dept like designed. After creating it, now I get a "this number has been disconnected" message. What did I miss?

Download and test new CC without touching the old CS4

As I want to test the new programs in CC and still have the elder CS4 left and in use in the same computer.
Is there a risk that the old Cs4 can be dsiturbed? I have mac.
Veera

You should be fine, normally if you were going to upgrade your cs4 to a newer verison it would be recommened to uninstall everything first. However in this sisutation I think you should be fine. Just incase if you think you will have any issues use a program called Oracle VM VirtualBox. This is a good way to test apps on a mac if you are unsure you will like the newer verision.

Unable to test new isight due to "insufficient bandwidth"

My father just bought the new imac and sent me a isight camera.
We tried to test it today and kept getting the "insufficient bandwidth" message
Both him and I are running 10.4.3 and have cable internet.
We both ran speed tests and our connection speeds are great.
We both turned off our firewalls and that failed to help.
We made sure our speed lined up with our streaming media preferences in both ichat and quicktime.
Neither of us have Virex.
I am at a loss.
can anyone give me a suggestion?

Hi Portland,
Most likely this is due to two device doing DHCP
DHCP is a way of the routing device giviing out IP addresses to the other devices on the LAN.
A modem will not pass on the Public IP address if it is DHCP issued unless it is specifically set to Bridge or Pass Through mde.
A router howver will pass oon previous IP addresses and add in it's own. This can give the end computer two IP addresses and confuses iChat. (you can only see one) (subnets)
Another problem can be if both devices do Port Forwading or any other form of NAT (Network Address Translation). If there are two lots of this the ports get messed up and no chat happens.
Your dad may need to learn a bit about LAN networking to enable him to use the modem and router with iChat.

How does Apple test new updates?

Getting a new MBP to use with FCP X, and have been reading about problems on both forums regarding latest updates. Just wondered if anyone knows how Apple tests an update before releasing it. It seems like a lot of the problems folks have with updates are remedied by doing fresh install of the original software. So, does Apple try out update on a pristine computer with fresh install of original software, or on a computer that's been used while and might be bit fragmented, or what?

Nobody here would know.

Testing New Unicode Character (Music Symbol)

I am trying to test the new Unicode character by using J2SE1.5.
For example, If I wanted to test the music symbol "1D15F", how do we test that or how do we write code?
The following is my code.
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.Character.*;
public class NewUnicodeCharacterTest {
public static void main (String[] args) {
String quarternote = "\u1D15F";
System.out.println (quarternote);
my output was
What is wrong?

Looking at the Java 1.5 API, I figured out that you should be able to create a string with UTF-32 code points by specifying an int[]:
String s = new String(new int[] { 0x1D15F }, 0, 1);
Note that System.out.println() will fail unless your console supports a codepage which contains the symbol in question. You can work around this by drawing your string onto a swing component. I tried this (using the J2SE 1.5 alpha, not beta), but I couldn't get the quarter note symbol -- maybe it's not supported in the font.

Testing new MBP

I just bought a MBP, I only have 7 days for testing before replace a completely new one here in hongkong, if there is something wrong. Is there any common issues that I should perform the whole hardware testing. like dead spot, the cd/dvd burning and...?
newbie

Make sure all your usb and firewire ports work. Test your Airport wireless to make sure that works.
You can also run the Apple Hardware test. Insert system disk 1, and reboot holding down the d key. You will see the hardware test window. Click on the extensive test box. This will take a few minutes and your fans will speed up as all systems are tested.

Testing New dark fiber installation

What is the best way and/or best software for testing a new installation of dark fiber, not only the physical but also test for L2 errors etc, the fiber connects / terminates at two 6500's and will be configuring a /30 network as to not disrupt anything else in the network, thanks in advance.

In addition to OTDR testing of the fiber, once you plug it in and assign IP addresses from the /30 subnet, you could run IP Service Level Agreement (SLA) performance tests between the two 6500s.
Set one end up to be the "sender" and the other end to be the "responder". Configure a test or simulation that generates packet traffic between them. Sender sends to responder, which in turn returns it to sender. If you have NTP time synchronization configured on the 6500 switches, IP SLA can measure not only packet loss (indicating a questionable or saturated link) and in which direction the loss occurred; it can also report on the variability in delivery timing between packets, and lots more.
Depending on the age of your IOS, it may be termed IP SAA (for Service Assurance Agent) instead of IP SLA.
See the Cisco White Paper "Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements" at the following link for more details:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/technologies/tk648/tk362/tk920/technologies_white_paper0900aecd8017f8c9.html
Oh, and I forgot to mention the best part: it's free.
