Newbee With A Multichannel Soundcard Question?
Hi all. I am trying to determine whether or not I have a multichannel soundcard. It seems that in some cases it is acting like a multichannel card because I can play an audio CD in Winamp, and hear Jaws speak, and music playing at the same time. However, when playing an MP3 file in Winamp, Jaws will NOT speak. Also, when I try to enter the chat rooms in Audio-tips, I get the message can not access your output device, another program is using it. But, I can have speech and music playing at the same time using Windows Media Player. My soundcard is a Maestro and I am running a Dell Inspiron5000 laptop computer with Win98 S. E. and Jaws 4.51. Is there a setting in control pannel that I need to change that controls my soundcard playback? This has been BUGing me for a long time so ANY help or assistance someone could give me would be VERY VERY much appreciated.

Hi Paul, Unfortunately you do not have a multi-channel card. Single channel cards only allow one mp3 or wav source to run through them. Multi-channels allow just what the name implies. I had to get rid of a creative labs PCI128 for the same reason. Got a sound blaster audigy for about 100 buckeroos at the time I snatched it and haven't looked back. Hopefully I am explaining this correctly if not I know that folks out hear can further clear this up.

Re: Newbee With A Multichannel Soundcard Question?
Hi Paul, I had sighted assistance for instaling the hardware. Since I don't have a laptop, I can't answer that question with certainty. My guess is that it will function in one though. As far as the sound card acting multi-channel, I think that it may have something to do with the audio cd's file type. Files with the normal cda file extension will play despite the output source. Again I could be wrong about all of this so don't hold me to givving you absolute gospel. Tony ---Original Message - From: Paul Hutson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Hi, paul. The audigy has a line of external sound device for laptops, called the audigy 2 nx or xn, don't remember now which one of those it is, but I own one, use it on my desktop, and it works wonderfully. I got mine at Fry's Electronics for about 130 smackers. It's a great machine. Shane At 04:18 PM 4/16/2004, you wrote: Thanks Tony for your answers and your help.
