Changing the audio ports...

hi , just been trying to look round the internet but failed, was looking for some software which lets me change all the audio jack/ports on my computer to whatever i want, for example being able to change 1 for 1 output using winamp then another one as another output but using windows media player so i was able to mix music one in the headphones and one in the speakers. is there such software i can download? i am able to change it using the software that comes built with the soundcard like from audio in and out and mic to audio front and left, rear left and right, sub and center.

hope this helps

Thanks Zapmole

Welcome to our forums, zapmole.

You will have to elucidate further for us.

The audio ports on your computer are physical, hardware items. Any "reprogramming" of a hardware audio port will be a function of the audio card itself.

As an example, I have a Turtle Beach audio card which carries a multi-purpose audio jack that can be programmably changed from a digital input to a secondary stereo output. This is only accomplished because the hardware of the card itself has a physical switching mechanism that redirects the signal to/from that jack to different sections of the board that carry different functions.

Now an input jack may be changeable by the board's operating software so that the board and its soft/firmware will recognize the input in one of various ways (e.g. left, right, or center), particularly once it gets beyond the digitizer stage, but it's a rare setup where an input can be arbitrarily changed to an output, except in rare and specific cases as I noted before in my own example.

I hope I was understandable and/or helpful in any way.

the bottom line is- we need to know specifically what sound card you have and its software before we can guide you any further.

right i see how you mean there would be conflicts with the pyshical jacks and if it worked with software, i am using a on-board C-Media AC97, im not that good at finding much info about some things like this on my computer haha, if there is no software no big deal
