When no sound comes out of the computer
M-crew uses the USB audio device for sound playback and recording.
When you start up the computer with a system stereo component
connected, the USB audio device will be enabled in place of the
standard audio device. As a result, no sound will come out of the built-
in or external speakers of the computer, because all sounds will be
output to the USB audio device via the USB cable. To allow sounds to
come out of the computer, remove the USB cable from the computer.
To enable the speakers of the computer with a system stereo
component connected to it, do the following procedure.
1
Open the Control Panel.
In the Start menu, point to “Setting” and click “Control Panel.”
(For Windows XP) In the start menu, click “Control Panel,” and
then click “Switch to Classic View” on the left pain of the window.
2
Double-click the “Sounds and Multimedia” (or “Multimedia” for
Windows 98/98SE or “Sounds and Audio Devices” for Windows
XP) icon to open the “Sounds and Multimedia Properties” (or
“Multimedia Properties” for Windows 98/98SE or “Sounds and
Audio Devices Properties” for Windows XP) dialog box.
3
Click the “Audio” tab, and then select the standard audio device
for each “Preferred device:” (or “Default Device:” for Windows XP)
of the “Sound Playback” (or “Playback” for Windows 98/98SE)

group boxes.

Click the “Use only preferred devices” (or “Use only default
devices” for Windows XP) option to enable it.
