On my machine running WinXP Pro, Windoze identifies the two different sound cards separately, and most sound software also has an option somewhere to select the sound device. Only one of my programs doesn't let me choose the device and I can't remember which one that is - I guess it just picks the Windoze default sound device.
Two identical cards will probably be listed with the same name twice in sequence in device manager, sound manager etc. One may perhaps have a (2). Otherwise, you will just have to remember which is which. It's good to be able to leave Windoze on the default sound card & speakers, and MMTTY/MMVARI etc. using the extra sound card plugged into the K3. This way, I don't transmit "You've got mail", or the "critical" noise when something crashes. And these config settings are saved. 73, Gary ZL2iFB > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Gilbert > Sent: Tuesday, 14 September 2010 10:01 AM > To: Elecraft Reflector > Subject: [Elecraft] Dual Soundcards > > > If I install two identical sound cards in my computer, is > there any way > to separately identify them so that one Windows application > would always > use one of them (the same sound card each time) and a > different Windows > application would always use the other one? > > And yes, this is relevant to a K3 application I have in mind. > > Thanks es 73, > Dave AB7E > > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
