I have two sound cards, a Turtle Beach Riviera and Sound Max Onboard, both are enabled so that I can use my 5.1 speakers with the Turtle Beach and my Headphones with the Onboard. All I have to do is go into sound properties in Control Panel and switch the audio device. Now, the problem is that i'm trying to record tapes using the Turtle Beach's Line-In port, but it will only play directly from the tape player through the Turtle Beach speaker port and not through the Onboard speaker port (to the headphones). Is there a way i can get the sound (from the tapes) to directly go into the Turtle Beach sound card and come out of the onboard?

Hi, I'm not familair with how Voyetra has this set up, but I drew out a diagram of your set-up. TBR = Turtle Beach SMO = Sound Max Onboard 5.1 speakers play TBR Headphones play SMO I would think that what you have to do is connect an internal audio cable from TBR to SMO, but I don't know for sure. I'm not familiar with the Sound Max card, but I'm wondering if there is a port on the card and a port on the Voyetra card where you can connect them? Sort of like the kind of audio cable you would use from a CD ROM to the sound card. If this is possible then you'd have to probably configure that in Sound Properties. Your best bet would be to ask Voyetra Tech Support and also the folks at Sound Max. I know I was not much help, but I do multi media recording and I have an idea as to what you are trying to accomplish. Please keep me posted. I am curious as to how you make out with this. Thanks, Veets

Hi Robert, Just checking in to see how you made out with the sound card. Veets
