No, the switchbox is powered via the VGA and USB ports on my computer. _____ From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gordon Kent Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 7:38 AM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Something Happens In Sonar Susan: Some of those built-in audio cards have the headphone out controled separately from the windows mixer ap. I can't imagine why switching the monitor to another system would turn off the audio engine. I assume you are using a kvm switch box for this. Does the switch box have a power supply or at least a plug for one? You might want to try it with an external supply so that it doesn't have to get power from the computer's monitor port. Switching from one to another might be causing a surge or something.

Right now, I have both JAWS and my main Windows Audio, as well as the music I make, coming out the MOTU. I want to have JAWS and the Windows audio come out of the Realtech HD Audio Sound Card, but when I do that, I don't hear anything when I plug the headphones into the jack on top of my computer's tower. Also, if I happen to switch the monitor over to my other machine while recording or playing, the audio engine turns completely off. Is there a way to fix it so that the Audio Engine isn't affected when I switch the monitor between my music machine and my documents machine? I've tried looking at the power options in Windows 7, but that didn't do anything. Please help! _____ No virus found in this message.
