sound default - Nick B

Vista supports output to multiple sound devices and even multiple sound devices on the same sound card if the hardware and drivers support it. For example, right now I am listening to both the SPDIF (hooked up to the receiver) and the 'speakers' device (PC speakers) simultaneously. I’m using Winamp with the ‘Multiple Output Plugin’. The issue is the Windows Media Player engine and thus Media Center. Really limiting configuration options. It is that team we need to be pushing. I think like many things Vista they went amok with security/DRM.

To whom are you talking and about what?
The "forum" that you are posting in leaches off the Microsoft News servers
in order to make it look far busier than it really is. Everyone who uses the
MS News servers sees your post on it's own - we have NO IDEA what you are
talking about and to whom you are talking.

This is not your fault - the fault lies with the forum owners who do not
explain to members that their posts end up on global Usenet newsgroups.
If you MUST continue to post in this "forum" then please at least quote the
post you are replying to, and do NOT change the subject line.

You would be far better off however, using a news reader and subscribing to
these news groups direct.
