Hi,

I got version 7.2.280.
My concern regards my back speakers (SB Live Platinum 4.1) from which I got no sound. Everything is working fine with other players and with windows in general. Then I cannot find out wht's wrong. I looked wihtin the options but I did not find anything concerning speakers.

Thanks for your help.

I'd like to add the following stuff:

- WinXP Pro (full patched): configured with 4.1 speakers in the audio properties
- SB Live Platinum patched with last WinXP driver
- others players installed: WMP & MusicMatch (they both work fine with the 4 speakers

884125, The way to look at this problem, is from the two ends of the 'sound tunnel'.
From the MJ end, look at the choices in the drop down menu in Settings>Options>layback>Output>Device.
From the Sound Card Driver end, look at Control Panel>Sounds>etc. For your first attempt, change the current settings, and if necessary reboot.
It maybe that MJ does a poorer job of automatically and dynamically detecting, setting and maintaining compatibility with your SB Live 4 speaker mode drive settings than WMP & MusicMatch.

These problems would be easier to detect and improve, if source code were available. It is not unreasonable to find beta testing conducted in the spirit of shared source code.  Often the quid pro quo for the voluntary effort to find, document, and help others correct bugs in software, is the education and sense of partnership provided by shared source code.

That's silly, too.  It's far easier to ask a question here than it is to fight through reams and reams of source code.

Silly.

Any reading of this forum make very clear that nothing is easy to detect and improve through posting efforts on Interact.  From Buy Button crashes, to license restores, to visualization anomalies, to speed of mass edits, and speed of burns.  That is not to criticize these efforts, but to document that only the fearful and/or 'loyal' can fail to recognize there are at least some holes in the process of clothing the emperor. Education, documenting, and sharing the software writing process is far from silly.

Silly putty is like manure. If you spread it around it does a lot of good, but if you pile it up in one place it stinks like hell. -Clint Murchison

Then don't use the software.
