No Sound

Well I'm setting up my new computer and can't get any sound to work using my headset. I have no speakers plugged in.

I am using Vista ultimate. Any help appreciated.

I am no Vista expert; I use XP. But, try these steps:

1. Plug your headset into the correct sound input/output jacks on your computer.

2. Turn on your computer.

3. Put your headset on your head.

4. Turn up the volume on your headset.

OR

5. Go to the control panel and change your sound output device to your headset and test it.

Paul:

Great to hear of your new kick ass box of chips. I hope it is everything you expect it to be! I'm jealous!

Now fix your headset and go fly.

Paul,

Great to hear that you have a new system.

Are you building this new system yourself or did it come already built?

I had it made by a friend of a friend. I have briefly tested framerates. In FS9, with sliders up, around 70 to 80 fps, and in FSX with sliders back a tad, and flying Barry Blaisel's Q300, around 50 fps.

It has a E6850 Intel chip (core 2 duo 3 Ghz), 8800GTS video card (640mb), 4 gb memory, 2X 320gb hard drives and Samsuns 22" widescreen.

I checked sound device settings in the control panel and it tells me that no headphones are plugged in. Maybe as Bob says I need to plug them in before turning the computer on.

Paul, that's some awesome box of chips. PUT YOUR EARS ON and go fly somewhere. <br /><br /><!-- editby --><br /><br /><em>edited by: Robert_Thompson, Aug 15, 2007 - 05:23 AM</em><!-- end editby -->
