Problem with USB Headphone Plug

My headphone outlet on my laptop doesn\\\'t work, so I bought a usb outlet for my speakers. It quit working after about a year. I purchased a new one and installed it It came up as 2-Realtek USB2.0 A, so I accepted it. I then opened Hoster (6.01.05) and tried to play a song, but the music only came out of the laptop. I then opened Tools, Settings then Audio. It had 2 choices. #1- Playlist Audio Card - Speakers (Realtek High Definiti #2- Second Audio Card - Headphones (2- Realtek USB2.0 A. I chose #2 as default and it only played on laptop. I then chose #1 as default, and it only played on the laptop. At one point while playing around, a test came up and I hit OK, then 3 music tones came out of the left speaker and then 3 music tones came out of the right speaker. I then tried to play a song and once again it came out of the laptop. I don\\\'t understand how #1 and #2 both say Realtek. I just don\\\'t know what to do at this point. Any advice at this point would be a blessing.

Thanks,
Ernie

Re: Problem with USB Headphone Plug

You need to set your USB sound card as the default card in Windows sound settings first before starting Hoster.
If your running windows 10.
1) right click on speaker icon on taskbar and select “open sound settings”
2) Where it reads “Choose your output device” make sure that shows as your (Realtek USB2.0 A the same one you want to use as Primary in Hoster.
3)On the right hand side of the dialog select “Sound control Panel”
4) You should now be in the old sound settings dialog, check that that is showing your Realtek USB2.0 A as the default device, if not select it and set as default.
5) Now while your in this dialog if there are any other sound devices showing that you don’t use disable them. For instance HDMI output . Then OK again to exit the sound settings.
You could also disable (Realtek High Definition) one then it won’t keep popping up
Now start Hoster and set the Primary and secondary cards if a second one is available or you use a separate audio card for The BA player in Hosters sound settings press apply and close.

Now see if it works.

One thing I will point out as it’s a USB card, if you remove it then windows may re allocate the Realtek HD device as the default.

Re: Problem with USB Headphone Plug

Roy, I should have mentioned I have Windows 7 on the laptop. Does that make a difference?

Thanks,
Ernie

Roy, I used the first page you sent me and was able to understand enough of the instructions that I was able to fix it. Once again, thank you for always being there to help.
