Cannot hear internet through the AI.

[Jae]

I have the Sonar Power Studio 250 AI and when I go on the internet for videos or whatever I can't get the sound to come through the AI.

You have to set the AI as your default sound device in Windows (assuming you are using Windows).

Are you on Mac or Windows?
If on Mac then I can't help much, but as for Windows:
Check your sound devices to see which are enabled and which are set as default. Also make sure that you don't have any other sound cards/AIs plugged in.
I used to have that problem and that's how I solved mine.

I have Windows. I've opened the "Playback Devises" dialog box but I'm not seeing an option to select the AI.

Go into Control Panel> Sound and Hardware>Device Manager. expand Sound Video and Game Controllers, right click "IDT High Definiton Audio CODEC" (or similar) then "disable".

Shut down then reboot and the PC should either find the AI or tell you how to install audio hard ware. You might have to re install the AI drivers.

If this works then go and find the audio section to shut off "Windows Sounds" those irritating bleeps and bloops that can screw your music!

This assumes Windows 7, if you have XP it is similar and even easier. If W8 you are on your own bub!

It is W8. This is a nightmare.

W8 is a nightmare. Hard to navigate and hard to find anything. We all eventually learn but the curve is great with this release. I hated Vista more though

Funnily enough I had Vista Business on a works laptop and my NI KA6 went in slick as paint! Still was a long winded PITA OS to use tho'.

OP: Pop over to Sound On Sound | Recording Techniques | Audio Technology | Music Production | Computer Music | Video Media and ask on their forum. Quite a few Eight-o-philes over there.

Anybody know how to get You Tube videos to play through the AI?
