On TS Started: Sound redirected to speaker

[[Daniel]]

Hi everybody,

since one of the latest patches, my system's background sounds (as music, game sounds, everything...) is redirected to the speaker upon Teamspeak launch.

The sound from TS itself goes through the headphones.

I've seen similar bug reports on other pages but couldn't find a posting here.

Changing the settings (tried everything in every combination) doesn't fix it.

Moreover, I can't even set my headphones as standard sound device in the windows settings.

I'm using a Dell Studio 1555 with IDT audio driver.

Greetings,
Daniel

What operation system do you use?
Can you tell us, what client version did work?
What is your current client version?
What sound settings are set for playback? > Have you tried to change it to the device directly instead using "Default"

Windows Vista / Windows 7 - Try to disable the exclusive mode mode for audio device
Go into Control Panel\Sound and double-click your playback device
Selected the tab Advanced and now disbale Exclusive Mode for applications

1. I dont know, I think a month ago (or 2) it still worked
2. Build 14642
3. Yep, I have tried every setting in every combination. None of them changed anything.
4. Tried, didn't work. Thanks anyway.

Any more suggestions?

Here are some links I've found of people having the same problem:
- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...1093702AAq4kAR
- http://www.gutefrage.net/frage/ich-h...it-teamspeak-3 (German)

Okay here we go, fixed it! (I'm so happy, I can't express it )

Well then, as I'm not the only person having trouble with the sound, I fixed it this way:
- Right click on the speaker icon in the task bar
- Output devices (Wiedergabegeräte on German)
- In the list, there were 3 devices: The HDMI device, the Speaker device and an independent headphones device
- Disable the independent headphone device
- Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who read my posting!

So far,
Daniel

This fix sounds, that the device that has been deactivated was your default playback device under windows.
Please enable it again and make sure, that no green Icon is next to playback device.

Hello guys,

I have downloaded the TS3 however I am facing a problem. Every time that I connect to a server on the TS3, all my others softwares sounds starts to use the speakers instead the headphones. On the TS2 works fine, seems to be a problem on the TS3.

PS.: I am using Windows 7

Any ideas how to fix that?

Thank you,

Hi Guys,

Im previous user of competitive softwares to teamspeak, but decided to start to use TS because of my guild at swtor.

I have one major problem though where i really need help to solve it;

When i use headphones for all computer sounds everything works normally, though when i start TS what happens is that all sounds from TS comes through headphones and all other sound including gaming sounds, email sounds, computer sounds come from computers speakers. When i close TS the sounds goes back to headphones.

This is super annoying. Anyone who know how to solve the problem so that all computer sounds and TS sounds comes through headphones simultaneously?

Thank You in advance guys!

W.K.

2. Windows 7, 64 bit
3. Ati high definition audio device - IDT high definition audio codec

As said, all and any other programs work correctly while TS doesnt.

Hey guys,

I've got a set of Razer Chimaera 5.1's and I'm trying to get both the game sound to come through the headset speakers as well as people speaking in TeamSpeak. At the moment the game sound is coming through my computer speakers and TeamSpeak is coming through my headset.

Anyone got any ideas? It's probably something really simple. I'm running Windows 7 and using TeamSpeak 3, in case that's useful.

This problem only exists when teamspeak is active. I would like to be able to hear all sounds through my headset. Currently, all sound not related to teamspeak plays through the speakers.

Thank you

For Windows 7 look in Windows sounds settings

Right click your speaker icon in system tray.

Click "playback".

Select your headset as "Default Device"

Hope this helps

[lilscott35]

I have it set as the default but the problem still continues. I tried disabling the communication headphones setting which results in all sound coming through the headset but then I can't use teamspeak any more. It says my speakers and headphones are muted.

Well not sure but here is a screen shot of how i have my settings.

I tried the above solutions and mimicking the settings that you have in the screenshot but still have had no success.
