ok, as it turns out, i'm one of those people who think they are good at computers, but they actually should be kept FAR AWAY from any electronic devices, because anything i touch tends to stop working for no apparent reason.
ok, so back on topic, i find it really annoying how in windows 2000 professional you can hear absolutely every sound. so like if i'm listening to winamp and someone sends me an instant message, i can hear the sound from the IM which didn't happen under win98. please, how can i turn that off so only 1 program at a time can use the sound card? sorry for the bragging. |

speakers off. problem solved :)
is it the same as using ME or 98 where you go to control panel >> sounds >> (uncheck the boxes for which sounds you dont want)
in AIM there sound be a place for you to disable sounds. If you are desparate enough you will find it or find a way to turn it off :D |

solution if you have a sound blaster live:
start >> programs >> creative >> soundblaster live >> Audio HQ
Double click on Device Controls
see the "Wave" tab? click it. (If you dont see a wave tab, you are SOL)
slide maximum simultaneous wave outputs to 1.
If you have a different card, it should be somewhat similar. . . just a setting you have to change. Sometimes you dont have the option to change it though. . . I dont know why though (yet)
hope this helped |
