Setting up 'Sound' devices in Vista

Dear Group,

I've seen a number of posting around this subject but none that seem
to address this very issue. Is it possible to enable more than one
device (ie it shows as "working" rather than "currently unavailable")
in one of the tabs of the Sound Devices config window? If not, it's
something of a problem methinks!

Looking forward to a solution!

Richard Abrahams

Re: Setting up 'Sound' devices in Vista

What is your audio adapter? Creative? Realtek? Sigma Tel?
What specific devices are listed as "currently unavailable"?

It's a SigmaTel adapter. Under 'Recodring Devices' I have
'Microphone', 'Rear Mic' and 'Line In' listed. The only way to get one
of these devices listed as 'Working' is to (a) set it to default and
then (b) change the setting in 'Levels' (from anything to anything)!
The next problem is that when the machine is next started the device
listed as 'Working' may have changed!

Any ideas welcome.

Richard

Re: Setting up 'Sound' devices in Vista

Seems like a Sigma Tel driver problem. Have you been to Sigma Tel or your
computer manufacturer for an updated driver? Does Sigma Tel have a Program Group
under Start > All Programs where you can adjust settings? Sorry, I have Creative
and Realtek and am not familiar with Sigma Tel.
