Once the detailed volumn control (i.e. the one with multiple controls
which you can get to by right clicking on the sound icon in the tray as
well as othe ways), look at properties. You can select which sound card
you are changing parameters for and whether it is audio out or in.
As a side thought that may help some, when I set this system up I wanted
to use the motherboard sound card for Ham and a Sound Blaster for normal
sound. I had to go to system properties and disable the on-board sound
card to get the system to use the Sound Blaster as it's default. Then
after rebooting, I re-enabled the on-board sound card and all has been
well. If I recall right though the on-board sound card is now number 2
with the SB being 1 and no card as 0.

Subject: RE: [WriteLog] Problems with two sound cards and MMTTY plug-in
All with more than one sound card,
There is a "gotcha" that I have discovered with WinXP Pro and
Writelog/MMTTY.
Most of us have learned that the index numbers assigned to sound boards
go
along with their physical installation. So that a sound board on the
mother
board would be [0], the first card I install would be [1] and the second
would be [2].
But in WinXP there are two different orderings of the list on sound
devices. If you have WinXP open the volume control applet that we all
use
to adjust the volume for record and playback. Compare that list of
devices
(goes along with physical installation) with the list that you get from
the
Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices. Here you can change the default
device which always becomes index [0] moving the index used to get to
the
other cards.
So the indexes that MMTTY and older versions of Writelog (before the new
WlSbControl which lets you pick the exact card you want to use) are
often
off by one depending on how you have the default devices set.
If you only have one sound card this is not a concern
Nice consistent software???
See you all in NAQP
