Windows 10: After Windows Update - 'Listen' tab gone from Audio Settings

Please help. I updated Windows yesterday, and now the 'listen' tab is gone from audio settings. This is really important as I teach a Virtual Class. I use the 'VB-Audio Virtual Audio Cable' to play music from my computer into the classroom, but I am also able to hear it at the same time thanks to the 'listen' feature in audio settings.



But, now its gone. Was it moved? Or do I need to rollback my windows. If I need to roll back, how do I do that?



Thank you so much for your help.

WinTV-1800 Pass through Audio?

let me look up that model of the card and see what i can find out.

edit: their site really sux... no real information about the hardware. If I found the right one, your's has two RCA connectors near the bottom of the card. I'm guessing this is the Line-In feature for this card.

this is the best I can think of... (assuming windows 7 properly detects the hardware's line in)

Step One: Plug in the audio from the PS3 to the RCA on the tuner
Step Two: Right click the speaker icon near the clock on the start menu and select "Recording Devices"
Step Three: Look for anything listed that relates to your TV tuner's Line-In, make sure it is enabled. When it says its "Ready" right click on it and select "Properties"
Step Four: Click the "Listen" tab
Step Five: place a check in "Listen to this device" and in the dropdown menu under that select your speakers for the playback.
Step six: Play a game and test the audio... If its working Enjoy!
Optional step... go back to step three, when the properties box comes up click the "Levels" tab. Here you can adjust the input volume of the device

Hope this helps, and that it lets you do so

edit: should you decide to get an adapter for the rca, these steps are pretty much the same for the line in on your sound card.

 

Low Audio Volume when listening songs

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving this issue. Thank you for providing the detailed information. I understand that you get low audio level while playing songs.



Ideally, the level of audio depends on the type of the audio file that you are playing. However, I would suggest you to try using the Audio Enhancements, which will boost the audio level and help you get a better audio experience. Refer the steps mentioned
below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type mmsys.cpl and click on
   OK.
   
3. Under Playback tab, double click on the sound device that you are using.
   
4. Click on Enhancements tab.
   
5. Select the checkbox for Loudness Equalization.
   
6. Click on OK.
   

If the issue persists, you may want to try updating the Audio drivers and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.
   
3. Right click on the Audio
   device and select Update Driver.
   

Article for reference:
Update drivers in Windows 10.



You may also want to check the Audio levels for specific applications in the Volume Mixer. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Right click on the Sound icon on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Select Open Volume Mixer.
   
3. Now, adjust the Volume levels for the Applications as per your requirement.
   

Refer the screenshot below:









Let us know how it goes.

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
