I have more time to prepare for this...

This would be second IT show of the year 2014 and we are 7 weeks away from it. And since there's a lot of time left, I can begin my simple game of comparison and decide what are the new stuff that I should be getting. :P

Using Multiple Speakers in Windows 7

I have finally move from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I was installing all the individual software and hardware devices into the new system, I realized that on Windows 7, you can only use 1 particular playback device at any point of time. Therefore here's a solution for you if you are using a set of speakers and at the same time, you are also using a TV/monitor that comes with a set of speakers.

Right-click the sound icon at the bottom right of your screen. Select the option 'Playback devices'.

Make sure that your 'Speakers' were 'Set as Default Device' and enabled. (Note the device '227E4QH-1' is my monitor that comes with speakers.)

Go to the 'Recording' tab and show the right-click menu and ensure that the options 'Show Disabled Devices' and 'Show Disconnected Devices' are selected.

Double-Click the device 'Stereo Mix' and go to the 'Listen' tab. Change the dropdown menu for 'Playback through this device:' to your monitor. (As for my case, I will change it to '227E4QH-1'.) Apply all changes and you are done. Start playing some videos to test out the audio settings. :D
