I need someone to confirm my thinking as I’m not that confident that I’m correct. I installed Vista on my son’s PC last month and everything seemed OK. But I forgot one little thing. He liked to use a Logitech USB headset on his former PC, and I forgot that with Vista you have to manually change the audio outputs. Before with XP, when he plugged in the headset it automatically took over the audio properties. So it was easy for him as he’s only 6. I manually changed it for him, but I don’t want to go in there all the time changing things every time he changes his mind about what he wants to do. Plus, for some reason the headset didn’t work well any way with his new set up; I have no idea why. So I did a clean install of XP MCE 2005. After that, the headset still didn’t work well…strange because it’s the same OS I used before, just different hardware, and I don’t know why that’d have anything to do with a USB headset (USB is USB, right?). But I’ve had other problems with his PC as well (DVDs won’t play, the guide won’t download and install, HD recordings won’t play within MCE). SO, the point of all this…I want to install Vista back on his PC as I bought him a new headset with 3.5mm plugs. What I was wondering, if I have Vista and plug in the headset in the front audio inputs, will it automatically play through the headset? That is in the properties of the sound card, right? Not in Vista’s own properties?
