Help me! I have some trouble getting sound/video files working right

[Larry_OHF]

I have four media players.

The only one I use for video is Windows Media 9, though I also have QT as well.
The one I was using for audio is Winamp
I want to play audio with Audigy 2's player (I think)

Now...when I told Creative Labs Player to play audio...it also took over video. I went back in and told WMP to own video and for all audio to be with CreativeLabs, Audigy 2. Now, Video is working properly, but the audio is playing through Winamp, has .wav icons, and uses the Audigy 2's EAX enviromental audio! Ahhhh!


Help! What do I need to do to get this sorted?

This... anomaly... looks usefull. Winamp using Audigy 2 wares? Nice. What winamp have you got?

If you want to exclusively use WMP9 (which I don't recommend, btw) and the CL player, just uninstall winamp.

Whew...that was worrysome, but I lived through it. I went to the file page and messed around until I got the proper things playing, then deleted Winamp.

Oh, Bozo, for you question...I had selected audio EAX in the Audigy2, then played a song with Winamp. EAX stayed intact. I guess it has something to do with Winamp still needing to use my Audigy soundcard to make noise and the buttons do not turn off on the card when a different player besides thiers is running. Cool, eh?
