Speakers and headphones don't work
I got a pair of headphones but they would not work at first. I played around with "Playback Devices" and the Realtek Audio Manager. At various times I either had the speakers working or the headphones, but never both. Somehow along the way I managed to lose the Realtek audio manager ... nowhere to be found anymore. But before I lost it, I set it to play both speakers and headphones at the same time. That is what I would like to be able to do. Right now, I can't even switch from one to the other. For example, I have Speakers set to "Default" but only the headphones are working at this time. Rebooting may set it back to Speakers again.
I can see the Speakers and Headphones by right clicking on the speaker icon and selecting Playback Devices. Once in that window, it appears that both are working fine. I can hear them both when I select "Test."
I haven't even tried to get the headset microphone to work yet.
I'm going to try to install Vista 64 SP2. Maybe that will help. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. Thanks.
