And I did notice, that if I started a song from 1 list before the other one stopped (to eliminate too much silence) that it would occasionally shut down 1 of the Hosters. Now I understand why this happens.
I'm guessing having a second sound card would also help when using Windows Media Player for fill-ins & break also. So, how do you tell a program which sound card to come out of?
There are always drivers and software to install for any sound card but typically you select which sound card a program uses from the software you are using. I use BPM for my dj side and in the options-audio there are drop down boxes that show what sound cards are available on the system and you can select from what is there. BPM has a double player screen and in the options-audio you can pick which player uses what sound card. I'm not sure whether WMP allows you to select which sound card to use or not. I know that Musicmatch does and Hoster 4.0 was suppose to. The current versions of Hoster does not. If you have software that does not allow a selection but always uses the default sound card, you can change which sound card is the default by changing it from the sounds option in the control panel if you are using XP Professional. I am not sure about Vista.
