  1. I cannot listen to two audio sources at the same time


    I am using a Surface Book 2 and when I am listening to the music played by some music sources like Pandora, Groove etc and launch a webpage where the sound in on, the latter audio isn’t played. I have to go back to the audio program to click on pause the resume. So I have to set audio dominance. Can I change it?

    :)

  3. Microphone audio is distorted when I listen to audio playback in Windows but fine in Realktek Audio Manager

    Hi Marc,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about accessing the sound on your device.

    Do let us know the make and model of your device?

    I would like to inform that there will be same drivers for audio from motherboard and sound card. Windows will have basic audio drivers for the operating system (Realtek).

    Try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to run Audio troubleshooter.

    • Press Windows key from the keyboard, type
      Troubleshooting and select it.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
      Troubleshooting window.
    • Select the Audio options from the list.
    • Click Next to run the troubleshooter.

    Step 2: Uninstall and Update the driver.

    I suggest you to uninstall the existing driver and update it.

    • Right click on the Start button from the desktop and select
      Device Manager.
    • Expand Audio inputs and outputs, right click on
      High Definition Audio Device and click on Uninstall.
    • Restart and Windows will re-install the
      IDT High Definition Audio driver
      .

    Also, if you find the latest drivers you can install them manually on your device.

    Refer to: How
    to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10


    For further reference:Fix sound problems

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

    I cannot listen to two audio sources at the same time

    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.
