Hello all,
I Just installed Vista and I have a problem with volume control: I
have to set all volumes to minimum in order to get reasonable volume
through my earphones. I remember that I could specify which type of
device I was using in XP (2-4 speaker system, headphones etc.) but I
can't find this option in Vista.

I tried installing latest drivers for my audio device but all I have
is Sigma Tel High Def. Audio Codec. When I try to update it, Windows
displays a "No audio device installed".

Any advice would be great so I can have a descent margin on volume
control again.

Click start menu then Control Panel then Sound. Select your current speaker
output then click Configure. If you don't see headphones then you'll have
to wait for an updated driver.

It wasn't until the most current Sound Blaster drivers that were just
released that I finally got a headphone setting here.
