Hello,
Currently it seems necessary to plug/unplug headphones/speakers when wanting to switch between them.
Since PC case is under 110 volts for ungrounded PCs this creates potential for damages to systems.
Therefore audio systems should be designed to switch between headphones and speakers without having to re-plug anything.
I am not sure if my receiver can do it for example, but I am pretty sure my soundblaster can't do it, without a replug ;)
Bye, Skybuck.
I chatted with somebody who also had problems with headset versus speakers.
Team speak would get screwed up somehow when detaching headset.
Solution person used, was an additional cd player to play music while using headset.
For me that solution would suck, I'd rather have all neat in one place.
Bye, Skybuck.
With auto-sensing contacts, some do get downright weird. I've actually had a Turtle Beach lock up the computer if switched while in an operational state. And, nothing I could do with a Xonar of late prepared me of late from having to take apart the computer, find some leads for the board block provision to wire in a separate microphone jack.
I'd be in the middle of hot, hot sexual conversations, see, when the microphone would cut me off in the middle of congenially consensual climactic concepts arising during intercourse, that need to be aired out, to switch to microphone routing to that circuity block. Which is indefensibly a most untenable way to conduct oneself, to have to stop to consider.
Mine's software-cued, I guess -- so not much else to choose, other than switching software. The telephone services run will initially detect a quiet state at the soundboard's microphone input selector, says as much with a software notice, and then randomly may initialize the other soundboard-connection block for optional use if the computer case is built for front jacks. Never happens the other way around, which is odd, so I'm stuck with a working/dependable microphone only out of the computer case. Have supposedly a "high-end" audio-chipped setup on a newer motherboard I haven't tried out yet. Give it a spin, as it also has all I need for communication services -- Echo Feedback Cancellation on the television's cheap built-in 4watt speakers. Last SoundBlaster I used (long time ago) I thought a total pig on driver resources and overall software overkill. ASUS Xonar boards seem the king of value for bang these days -- good reviews, and I know with mine I've run into some 3rd-party driver takes that are short, sweet, and impressive.
Maybe this problem/issue is already solved.
Since my DreamPC2006 is now back alive with a decent motherboard (it seems ?) the audio connector is connected to motherboar and is connected to front audio plugs... so maybe those could be used for headsets... but for now I'd rather not touch it...
I don't like leaving a mic in... it's spy-prone me thinks...
That's the real issue hear...
I don't like having a mic sticking in my pc ! ;) =D
Bye, Skybuck.
The ol' open mic syndrome. Used to have them, but never on a or my PC. Seen where people leave the mic open and start broadcasting, over the air, trunked channels, whatever, until someone called a landline or walked in to put them out of their misery. 'If ever I did not say that right -- should they have gotten put in misery -- to the best of my knowledge of incidents I say or may or not have repeatably heard said.' ...all you really can do, to put in that on a tape loop for broadcasting every five minutes, so legally you'll be OK for normal purposes.
