I can not hook up my microphone at the same time my speakers are hooked up...It says it cant because of the half-duplex sound card. Any suggestions...

My suggestion would be to buy a different sound card that is full-duplex if you really need to use this program or find a different program that has support for half-duplex sound cards. Sound cards are cheap!!!! Here is the lowdown on Half-duplex!! On a regular telephone, you can talk and listen at the same time: the telephone is a full-duplex device. With a portable radio walkie-talkie, on the other hand, as long as you hold down the "Talk" button, you can't hear anybody else who's trying to talk to you--that's why radio users say "Over" at the end of a transmission--so the other person knows you've finished and they can talk now. The walkie-talkie is half-duplex: it can communicate in both directions but only one way at a time. (A radio broadcast station is simplex: you can't respond to its transmissions at all, except by calling the DJ on the phone.)

I want to duplex two sound cards in my system for audio recording purposes. I have a Creative Labs 16bit pci sound card and a Yamaha 16bit OPL3 ISA sound card. How do I duplex them in Windows XP so I can use then both?? Email me with any responses to my problem at the above email address. Thank your for any help you can offer.
