    Hi all,

    kind a little problem, but very annoying. Look:

    Aspire 7520G, Realtek audio installed, Logitech Z-10 USB speakers and Steelseries Siberia Neckband Headset with additional sound card (see pic).

    [​IMG]

    So. When I switch off winamp, plug out speakers and plug-in my headset - its not working! The most interesting thing is when I just plug-in in the headset without sound card (just directly to the note) - it works!

    I dont know why, but earlier it was working properly with this external sound regulator. And now not.

    I suppose, it might be because of USB/analog switching or something similar, but I dont know..

    Please help, guys!

    Thanx

    Welcome to NBR.

    I guess the OS isn't doing the "switching" for some reason and the laptop continue to use the realtek soundcard instead of the external one. Check the sounds settings you probably have to switch it manually.
    What OS do you have installed?

    Control Panel->Sounds And Audio Devices->Audio

    Under "Sound Playback" you should be able to see both of your sound cards(when the external one is plugged in of course) so just select the external one and click "Ok". That should do it.
