Volume Mixers?
That speaker mute when headphones are detected works with my Audigy 2 ZS
Platinum Pro. But it's not done by the Windows mixer. Rather the Creative AudioConsole's setting to Mute Speakers When Headphones are attached. That kind of thing probably needs manufacturer software to work. It's a whole new Audio concept in Vista. Even with the updated Creative drivers for Vista Beta 2 my mixers aren't really behaving properly. For one thing, once I close the Audio Properties panel it won't open again until I reboot. This wasn't a problem when I used Creative's Audigy 2 ZS drivers for XP. But I do get a bunch of new mixers that all slide together at the same time. It doesn't seem to jive properly with the volume control though. This is hard to explain but it isn't really working properly. And forget about configuring anything for recording. It's nice that my EAX Advanced Parametric EQ and Soundfont Control work though. With the XP drivers the EAX worked but only the Microsoft Midi was working. It's nicer to use Soundfont's. WMP 11 still can't give me any audio on DVD's. Gotta install PowerDVD to watch DVD's with sound. I will say that even though the controls are funky, music does sound better than with any soundcard and WDM combo I've ever used. I think the audio is really improved in Vista but it's up to soundcard manufacturer's to work on getting their drivers and software to work properly with it. -- Dennis Asus A7V880/Epox 8KRAIPRO AthonXP3200+/Sempron3300+ Crucial 2x512MB ATI Radeon x850PRO/Gigabyte Nvidia 6600GT Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro/Audigy 2 ZS Platinum "Nathan Weinberg" wrote: Where did the old XP volume mixers go? Previously, there were multiple options for adjusting volume settings, now we get per-program options. Is there a way to still get the multiple sliders? Also, would there be any option that would mute playback through headphones, even if the speakers worked (when the headphones were unplugged, of course)? |
