Sorry.
Yes, get sounds from mediaportal e.g. video, mp3, tv
MPC-HC also gives sound
I disable windows sounds as soon as Xp installation finishes, but startup sounds working OK, before this, and still activated on W7
Connections:
W7 - PC to 2.1 speakers - works
XP - PC to HDTV via phonos - works
Sorry again, I have not been clear.
Regardless of what I do, whatever system/OS I run MP on, or how the sound comes out (TV or PC speakers) I don't get the MP sound effects. All other "computer" sounds and audio/video sounds work OK.
