Apparently, audio in Win7 has been 'greatly improved'. Its been improved so much, it doesn't work in any sensible fashion. To me, audio output from my machine should be a single, global thing I don't want to control volume levels for lots of different apps - I want a system volume! Anyway, that's just one problem...
I just got a new machine and I have three monitors. Left is on HDMI, centre is on DVI with audio to rear jack, right is on VGA with audio to front jack. I was hoping to be able to have sound from all three monitors simultaneously, but it doesn't seem possible. From the Realtek control panel I can listen to all six speakers fine, but I only seem to be able to get the HDMI and one of the other monitors playing simultaneously.
I had hoped to route stereo left to the left monitor and right to the right monitor, with the centre balanced. Is the best I can get left and right on and centre off?
EDIT: Actually, even with the HDMI playing simultaneously, there is a noticeable delay, so I'd also need to be able to control the audio output timing...bah! Might as well stick to one monitor!

And you're blaming Windows for that messed up setup?? Seems to me that would be the fault of Realtek for not supporting your completely screwed up audio requirements.

No it's Windows. It can't output the same audio stream to all audio outputs at the same time. Why ever not?
The Realtek panel proves I can get output to all six speakers, just not the same output at the same time.

Is it windows or the HDMI chip on the monitor?
|

That doesn't point to Windows to me. I've had too many problems with RealTek drivers to know better.
Download the latest driver from RealTek and see what happens. Don't use the ones that came with the motherboard.

I strongly suspect the issue is Realtek. Cheap sound devices frequently have cheap drivers, that don't fully support what you want to do.
Sounds like a hopelessly messed up setup anyway, what on earth is your use case?

did you try the advanced settings ?
Mine has a "device advanced setting" in the upper right hand corner of the realtech audio control.
I don't have a way to test it myself.
I just have speakers or headphones in a front jack.

2009 called, they want their New OS Teething issues back!
Well fads they come and fads they go.
And God I love that rock and roll!
Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss.

I suspect you're screwed on getting multiple outputs synchronized (unless you spend $$$lot$$$ on an audiophile card); the problem is almost certainly the monitors themselves. Video decode takes a non-zero amount of time, and a number of preprocessing options that help the LCD work display content better add additional variable amounts of delay. The monitors themselves are probably delaying the audio passing through by an equal amount so that when watching a video the image and sound remain perfectly in sync.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yep, that's what I have to do.
First things I recognized:
-> Leap years are a PITA
-> Whoever decided that it is a good idea to have months with 31 and 30 days was a moron.
-> Why not this way:
JAN 31
FEB 31
MAR 31
APR 31
MAY 31
JUN 31
JUL 31
AUG 31
SEP 31
OCT 31
NOV 31
DEC 24 | 25
(Still 365 days, if I counted that correctly).
Okay, maybe we need to move January & February to the old year in order to separate christmas and new years eve'.
Edit: Did I mention that this has to be written in Assembly code?

January should be the short month, it is always a struggle to get through it after Crimbo and New Year!

Thank you, even though I already figured most of it out by myself

Never doubted you!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Because Christmas would only come once every 4 years

Gonna get your hands dirty eh?
Good luck Marco!

If not cut off, yes 
I like Assembler, but it's sometimes a hard shift coming from the OOP side.

Assembler and OOP are not generally uttered in the same sentence are they?
|
|
|
|

They're not. I still got some patterns from OOP and C (C not as in C++, which would be C++), confusing me every once in a while I have to write Assembler.

I've done that on a Motorola HC08 GP32, don't be wussy not that hard. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

So, I had a problem with a stored procedure I wrote a long time ago.
I went to fix it and found this comment that I apparently wrote:
--This is an ugly hack. To whomever has to deal with this in the future. i am sorry.
Yes, I am sorry…
