How do I play music through the Overture 192 audio interface and make Windows system sounds come out of my PC audio output?
When you are listening to your music, the last thing you really want is to hear coming from your hi-fi is the familiar “bong” of an email arriving! Even though it will be at very high quality, and some of the system sounds can sound really good at 100watts output! If you are using a player that can recognise multiple audio outputs, then we do recommend using a separate output for your system sounds. For example, Windows Media Player is very easy to set up this way – please see an earlier question on how to set this up. Other players may also have this same capability. If all else fails, then you can turn off the vast majority of system sounds in one go, by turning off all of the “Sound Schemes” by going to the Control Panel, selecting Sounds and Audio Devices, selecting the Sounds tab and setting the Sound scheme to ‘No Sounds’.
