    Vent help

    So, on my laptop i used to have WoW sound come out of the speaker (built in) and when i plugged headphones in the vent sound would go through the headphones. now i've tried to get this to work on my new desktop but it doesn't seems to work

    anyone know how to fix this?

    P.S i've tried using front header and the socket on the speakers too.

    thanks



    EDIT; fixed!

    thanks for the reply, i tried it but no change

    "output devices i have to choose from (when headphones are connected or not) "default" "monitor" (idk why...monitor has no in built speakers) "realtek digital output"
    "realtek digital output (optical)" and "speakers"

    thanks.

    my laptop use to have "speakers" and "headphones" as the choices.

    With your headphones plugged in, right click on the speaker on your taskbar and go to playback devices, right click on your speakers and enable them. When i do that, it turns my headphones to "communication only" or something like that and only plays vent and Skype through them. if it dose not do it automatically for you there might be an option somewhere on that page.

    I cant check to see if this works or not because the laptop here at my work has a broken headphone jack.

    Hi Ethan, i tried what you said, but when i got into playback devices, everything was enabled already, and there was no headphone selection either (in case there should have been?)

    if anyone needs extra info (like what speakers / case etc) lemme know i'll post it.

    thanks

    Control Panel -> Sound -> Set your Headphones as Default device....

    Ventrilo -> Setup -> Playback Device set as Default

    If you don't have your headphones there, then your USB/Audio out port is broken or the headphones are broken
