firepod as sound card

[perotis]

I have a firepod and have it working like it should when it comes to my recording setup. I've tried to set the default windows output to go through the firepood, so I can use my recording speakers for all my computer audio. I get the windows system sounds (beeps, warnings, mouse clicks) but I can't get any media to play through the firepod (Itunes, windows media, firefox, etc...)

Is there a windows setting I'm missing?

I have a usb headset for gaming. I tried unplugging it in case it was causing problems. But, it didn't seem to make a difference.

I run my firepod on my Mac and had a similar problem once. I had to turn up the iTunes volume

Are your media players volumes turned up?

That's not doing it, but I'm not getting the windows sounds any more either. Have to figure out how i got there before.

there is a WMP setting you can change. Tools>Options>Devices>Speakers>Select Firepod. Okay out of everything. Close down WMP and restart it again. See if that works.

I don't know anything about the firepos, but make sure it is setup for 44.1khz sample rate.

Sometimes if you only disable instead of uninstall your existing motherboard or whatever sound drivers windows can get confused and go back and forth between them. That's the problem I had with my firebox.
