No sound in games but can run servers??

Pondlife · #1 07-07-2002, 23:57

Hi,

I just got hold of teamspeak (version 1.5.0.6) and was able to run a server and join a server quite happily, but as soon as I tried to play a game of Return to Castle Wofenstein I was told 'device is being used by another application click retry to try again or cancel to play Wolf with no sound'

I have a Soundblaster PCI 128 card

Any ideas??

Drivers are Creative 4-21-1999

Too old perhaps?? Card cant handle it??

Is the same problem with running a server and when I join one.

I'm running Win98 SE

Thanks in advance

hi,
try to change the soundcard under advanced setting. Choose directx as prefered device.

Do you mean within Teamspeak or within Device settings in My Computer??

I have NOT got Direcx as a preferred device within Teamspeak just the following.....
Sound Input Device
"Wave In - SB AudioPCI Record, Gamecompaitble Device, Voice Modem Wave #oo Line"

Sound Output Device
"Wave Out - SM AudioPCI Playback, Gamecompaitble Device, Voice Modem Wave #oo Line"

Just to add I have just dl'd the latest version of DirectX (8.1) and it has made no difference, but I still can't select it within Teamspeak...if that was what u were suggesting b4??

Below the Wave in isn't there an option for DirectX instead? (its not in the listbox OF wavein but an seperate radio button below it)

Do you mean the radio button for "Direct Sound Capture"??

There is NOT one with the word "DirectX" anywhere??

K I'll try it when I get home (I too am at work and don't have team speak here

Made no difference I'm afraid, same error about device being used by another application.

Any other ideas??
