Win7 Help requried for stream

[Menace]

Hey, I've recently gotten a new computer running windows 7. For some reason when i'm in-game I only get the game audio. No youtube audio, no radio station streaming, no other flash audio from other websites. Any idea how to fix this? I have no experience with Win7. with windows xp I'd just open up the radio station website and I would get both game audio and the stream from the site.

thanks,
Menace

Hi Menace,

I see you got no reply and it's been a while... do you still need help? If so, then here it is...

Make sure the settings for your audio card are NOT set to "use exclusive". This is a setting that will allow any program to exclusivly use the soundcard for the first program you start that uses audio. Simply switch this off in the windows sound settings in your taskbar icon show thingy, right click the play devices and de-select both boxes with the exlusive feature in the advanced tab.

I hope this works for you.

Greetings,
