Big sound problem.

I’m having some real issues with my new setup. I’ll tell you what is happened, so that you know exactly what I’ve done.

I’ve always had some bad quality speakers from my dad, and yesterday I decided to update my setup. So I bought a couple of KRK 5 and connected them to my Tascam US-122L. I installed the drivers from the Tascam website. At this point no sound would come out of my KRK’s. After changing some settings in FL Studio 9 and restarting my PC, it did work there.

Overview:
- My sound works in FL Studio
- I have selected the Tascam US-122l as my audio interface
- I have rebooted my computer like a billion times
- When I start up my computer, I DO hear the start up tune from Vista
- I have no sound in other programs (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player)

I’ve searched Google and these forums for an answer but could not find it.

Does anyone know what I need to do to make my sound work in the other programs as well?

Thanks in advance,

Poemo

P.S. I’m not sure if this is the right place to post it.
 
Well, first off this isn't the best place to pose the question as it relates to computer based recording. Secondly, just how do you have the KRK monitors hooked up to the 122L? As far as I'm aware of, there aren't any outputs except for the 1/4" headphone jack and RCA style "line out".:confused:

Ummm, I must be on crack... Sorry man, this is the right place to ask this question. I was thinking I was still in Analog Only.:o

Got a photo of how you have everything connected, or can you tell us more about the connections themselves?

Thanks for replying.

I used a DAP Cable FL24 to connect my KRK's to my Tascam US-122L. In the Tascam the cable is plugged in to the red and white 'Line Out'. At the other end, the red goes to my left KRK, and the red to my right. They are plugged in the RCA spot.

Than I have my Tascam connected to my pc with a USB cable. And of course the KRK's have their power cables connected.
 
I don't know FL Studio, but I am guessing that there is a mixer window somewhere and you have to turn on the channels you wish to play back and route them to the monitor / line outs.

Double check that the windows sound manager is selected to play back sound through the Tascam.

Cheers

Alan.
