Windows Default Sounds

Am using MSI K8N Neo4-F1, nForce4 Ultra drivers, Realtek Controller AC 97 Audio, drivers 5.10.0.6160. Sound on Windows media Player and Winamp are working fine but I have no windows default sounds, also there is no sound on web pages, youtube etc. Any help on this much appreciated.
TIA

Problem solved, I am using 5.1 creative system and had plugged out rear speakers, windows default sounds came up immediately when i reattached banana plugs, never came across this before as default sounds worked on any speaker configuration.

Set firefox sound to new default sound device - quirky behavior windows 8

My 64bit Win8 machine will direct sound to the default speakers as output but when I try to toggle the sound to a different devices such as e.g. 'headphones' the sound goes out. I am using the notification icons area on my PC to switch the sound output device which works acceptably in other browsers.
The exception I've noticed at least once on a TED talk video was if the sound/movie clip was loaded from the URL directly instead of as embedded in a webpage, the sound device selector native to the OS works fine.

I think that you need to close and restart Firefox after making changes to the default sound device to make Firefox pick up the change. Otherwise it might not work properly, especially when a built-in (HTML5) media player is used and not a plugin.

HP-HDX 18t w/ Vista 32 won't retain default sound source after sleeping

That about sums it up. It's a brand new HP HDX 18t laptop running Vista32. It's setup with HDMI to our flat-panel TV and we have a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage-Micro usb card so we can use the SPDIF digital audio passthrough to get the 5-1 dolby sound to the surround sound receiver. It all works as it should playing Blu-Ray DVDs as well as any other sound... no problem. If we completely shutdown and then turn it back on it's fine. But if we put it into sleep or hibernate mode instead, then it loses the default sound source setting we've chosen (SPDIF) and we have to manually reselect it. Same thing if we disconnect it entirely. But that makes some sense and we don't plan to do that a lot so it's not as big a deal.
Thanks for any insights.
I hope I've provided enough info.

I have the macbook pro 13 inch 2,66 Ghz april 2010 model.
I can't get my headphones to work in Windows 7, 64 bit(bootcamp). It seems like the cirrus logic CS 206 A (AB13)drivers are the problem.
I have installed the latest drivers, have set the headphones to standard audio device (I don't know how you call that option in english as my windows is dutch). I also disabled the macbook speakers, the digital audio device and nothing seems to work. I can play music through my macbook but can't play it through my headphones. In mac osx there is no problem at all doing this, the problem is only in windodws 7.
It's very annoying because I would like to play some games.
And yes I've installed the 64 bit drivers.

Allow user to select default sound device.

Currently Spotify defaults to using the default sound device under windows when launched, it would be neat if you could choose which sound device you want to use isntead in the options screen, Thanks

I really need this feature. I use multiple soundcards to split outputs into different sets. For example. I do not want Spotify to playback using my headphones but my speakers while I play a game or anything else for that matter. I also tend to Stream some of my games and don't want Spotify to be recorded- This is the whole reason I had to set up another soundcard by the way.
Please, just add this small but essencial feature like any other Audio related product.

How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?

How to use X-Fi Effects without selecting SB as the default sound device?Hello everyone,
That's my situation.
I have Sound Blaster X-Fi Go sound card and I am using SRS HD Audio Lab. SRS HD Audio Lab was selected as the default audio device and X-Fi effects (X-Fi CMSS-3d, Equalizer etc.) was working without any problem in Windows Xp. I have Windows 7 now and when i select SRS HD Audio Lab as the default device, Creative effects are not working, i must select "SB X-Fi Go!" to get them working but i can't use SRS HD Audio Lab in that case. SRS is also using SB X-Fi Go sound card as the output and volume adjustment on console launcher is working but something is disabling the effects. Any solutions to enable effects ?
Thanks.

If the kernel modules for your sound card and webcam both support the index parameter (use modinfo to find out) then adding
options <name_of_preferred_card's_kernel_module> index=0
options <name_of_second_card's_kernel_module> index=1
to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (or another modprobe conf file of your choice) should solve the problem.

1820m - Using E-DSP Wave for Windows Default Recording Device?

Good Morning! I just ran into an interesting problem. My professional applications all use EMU-ASIO (1820m) and work perfectly fine. But I have this prgram called Jing, that can record short videos of your screen so you can share how-tos, and short training snippets. The problem is that it records audio from the Windows default device for sound recording. Mine is set up as "E-DSP Wave." But a mic plugged into the audio dock does not register any signal in the Windows recording hardware. I'm fairly sure there is a way to do this in PatchMix (Version 2.0) via inserts or something, but I've tried the manual and some trial/error, and can't figure it out.
Can someone give me a clue? This seems like it should be a no-brainer.
Thanks.
Ken

Just to add a bit of information to the above, as yet unsolved problem...Windows XP can use the E-DSP Wave just fine for playback! It's only recording that it can't seem to manage. I can select it, but as I said above, the volume control is totally greyed out, and the "test" hardware" function in the "voice recording" window won't register signal from the audio dock. One other thing, I CAN record into Adobe Audition when I select E-DSP Wave from within its audio device window! So sound IS getting into windows through that driver. I just can't figure out why XP won't recognize it.
Again, just hoping someone can give me a clue.
Thanks.

[SOLVED] default sound card changed

Hello all,
Been struggling with my arch64 and XFCE over the past couple of days. my arch32 gnome 2.x screamed, it was great.
Anyway, when I first installed Arch this week, I had sound(alsamixer reported SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] as default). I then installed XFCE, updated, installed vlc, etc, and I had sound(alsamixer reported SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] as default. I've been mucking around trying to get Arch to automount my DVD, and not sure what happened, but when I rebooted just now, I have no sound.
Now when I go into alsamixer, my default sound device is marked as ATI R6xx HDMI, with one S/PDIF connection MM.
What could have happened that made Arch/XFCE change my default sound card? I've check the forums, and didn't find anything. Then again, I've been living in forums for the past 4 days trying to solve various issues, I could have missed something, or gotten confused.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, Masutu
Pulseaudio is in my daemon array:
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng !network crond dbus @alsa @pulseaudio)
But what you've said about some program calling pulse and crashing things makes sense. How could I "correctly configure" pulse? What do you suggest?
My /etc/asound.conf is here:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
It seems pretty the same what is written in some sites about pulse.
In a past time (with other computer), I just removed pulse completely. But now there is a warning about dependencies: gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center. And I don't know how removing these Gnome packages will affect the window manager.

Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
We are using Adobe Reader 8
The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application. The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all. The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer). This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
Thanks!

No.

How do i change default sound when using AirPlay Display on Mavericks

So i am using a TV with Apple TV attached as a second display for watching movies etc in the background
Everytime i turn on the setting to enable to the display, it sets the Apple TV as my default sound and i have to go to settings to manually re-select my speakers attached to my iMac. Is there anyway to change this so it leaves the sound from my Mac as the default sound when enabling the screen.

I looked into this a little more carefully. It's not the Guest account. It clearly indicates "Managed".
Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

Default Sound device with attached USB devices

Hi,
my situation: i've got an iMac 27" with an attached 24" cinema display (using display port and usb). Also i've plugged in a usb headset (headphone with microphone).
Whenever booting up Mac OSX 10.6.4 (also happened to older version of Mac OSX, at least all 10.6.x versions) OSX sets the default audio device (input, output and system sounds) to the cinema displays audio device. No matter what i choose as the default sound device i have to reset it after every boot.
Does anyone know how to come around this? I know i can easily set the device by alt clicking on the speaker symbol in the menu, i know there are tools out there like SoundSource that let me even more easily set the sound device but all i want to have is a default sound device that doesn't get overridden on every boot.
Any help?

All right, I seem to have solved it. The fact that it was only working using plughw: should have tipped me off, but at any rate, this is my working ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1

Hello Kiira Doon,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below may help get your iPhone's display to function.
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?Contact Apple Support.

Cannot change target sound in drag and drop to "no sound" once a default sound is selected in Captivate 8

I was trying out all the options for a drag and drop interaction in Captivate 8 and selected one of the default sounds for a target. I want to change it back to "no sound", but the selection never sticks. Is there something I'm missing or is this a "feature"?

When you go to the “Format” tab of the drag and drop properties, there is an option called “audio” (right below the “depth” option).
It has default sounds you can pick (sound1, sound2, sound3, and incorrect sound). Or you can browse to an audio file. If I select one of the default sounds, and then decide not to use any sound, it will not change to the “none” option. I have to delete the drag and drop interaction and start over.

How do I change default sound for alarm on iphone 5c?

I don't like the default sound for my alarm on my iPhone 5c. How do I go change the default so I won't have to continually change it?

I know it's important to customize your device naivebelle. I'm sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the alarm tone on your Razr M. If you have already checked the main volume settings, I have attached a link for notification sounds. http://vz.to/1jEbaq4 I'm sorry we don't have specific information on changing the alarm sound specifically. This is likely just a slight change within the new OS itself.

Use of windows default printer causes labels to be mis-printed.

I am printing a crystal report via the vb.net viewer to an avery dennison label printer.
I have configured the size of the label for the avery dennison into the Seagull driver that exists on the workstation where I am printing the report.
The crystal report has been configured to use the printer name and page size from the driver on the workstation.
When I make the Avery Dennison printer on the workstation the windows default printer and print the report to the Avery Dennison printer, the label prints out correctly.
When I make another printer on the workstation the windows default printer and print the label to the Avery Dennison printer, the label prints across two labels.
Any ideas?

Hi Praveen,
#No of Copies# in transaction /SCWM/PRWO6 is not actual number of copies . This is more an index how the number of copies is determined . Please use F4 on this field and you will see that index 2 means "Number of Copies" = 1.
In Transaction /SCWM/ 60000431 you need to actual number of copies for your document. But this number is only taken if you set the index in /SCWM/PRWO6 to "0".
I hope this information helps you.

Acrobat 8 install forced change to different Windows Default Printer

Immediately after installing Adobe 8 Pro my Windows default printer changed and I can't get it to stay set to the default that I want. Everytime I restart my computer the Windows default printer is set to the one it changed to after installing Acrobat 8 (not the one I had set as default the last time I used the computer).
Also, everytime I restart my computer I get a "Please Wait while Adobe Acrobat Installs..." dialog. I also get this dialog the first time I open any MS Office application following every computer restart.
Win XP

Aandi - I am going through the Windows Start button... Printers and Faxes, then right-clicking on the printer that I want as my default printer and selecting 'Set as Default Printer'. It remains the default printer until I restart my computer. Then the printer that the Acrobat installation set as the default comes back as the default.
