This behavior is likely to depend on your hardware and not all Vista installations will do it, so assuming your sound devices are on the motherboard then see if you can find anything on the makers' website. If you do have a separate sound card then look on their website. My guess would be that you will find an auto sense setting in the sound devices properties, but it is just a guess. |
