Windows sounds

[Gene E. Bloch]

My system is such a system.


My video driver has controls for digital video but no separate controls for
digital audio even though the digital video is supplied via HDMI which I
find strange. If I have the HDMI set for the monitor and take the
independent audio connection (Analogue) off of the monitor and plug it into
separate speakers I will get sound from both sets of speakers.....strange.


There is an "Auto" setting for the onboard sound in the Phoenix Bios and
that is the only "auto" setting that I can find anywhere that controls
sound. I have a feeling that the Bios is a hybrid concocted by Acer as I
cannot find the Bios identification on the Phoenix site.

The Windows sound driver has 3 possible devices all of which can be active
with one being set as default. I have a feeling that this is where the
problem lies. Seeing that I am going to do a clean install of Windows 7 in
the future I am not going to waste any more time at this point in trying to
figure it out.

Thank you for the information

You're welcome, but I wonder - did I give you information or
disinformation?

And thank you for your information as well. Without more effort, I'm
probably going to remain confused...and so be it ;-)

I wouldn't put any more effort into it. Thanks for the try.
