Vista

I use a USB headset during the day, then at night I use my speakers to watch video. I constantly have to use the windows playback list to change the default soundcard before I run the program I want.

I did some google research but it doesn't seem to help much, mostly because of false positives. I tried to use "Sound Card Manager" but it didn't seem to work properly.

Has anyone had any sucess dealing with the Vista sound system?

Why won't xattr PECL extension build on 12.10?

But now it fails to build, and I can't figure out why. Other PECL extensions have built fine. And I have… >>> More

Sound card / microphone impedance mismatch

First of all I'm not completely sure this is impedance mismatch, but from what I found on the Internet I believe it is. It seems to be a common problem. The question is not as much about solving the problem as about why it is happening (if I'm right about the cause of the problem, of course). I… >>> More
