[Elecraft] Dual Soundcards

[Gary Hinson]

On my machine running WinXP Pro, Windoze identifies the two different sound
cards separately, and most sound software also has an option somewhere to
select the sound device.  Only one of my programs doesn't let me choose the
device and I can't remember which one that is - I guess it just picks the
Windoze default sound device.  

Two identical cards will probably be listed with the same name twice in
sequence in device manager, sound manager etc.  One may perhaps have a (2).
Otherwise, you will just have to remember which is which.

It's good to be able to leave Windoze on the default sound card & speakers,
and MMTTY/MMVARI etc. using the extra sound card plugged into the K3.  This
way, I don't transmit "You've got mail", or the "critical" noise when
something crashes.  And these config settings are saved.

73,
