I believe there is some native support for rerouting like this on macs, which is why it's easier to find software that does this for that platform. Thanks a lot - I did try VAC a while before I downloaded PrettyMay but yeah, mindfuck galore so I gave up pretty quickly. I'll make sure to give it another go. Cheers for the explanation my good man!

What is the preferred torrent client for Windows these days? I just installed the latest version of uTorrent and it has an app store and tries to install a loving browser toolbar. DO NOT WANT!

Cheers for the explanation my good man! The way it works for me: In Skype: "Line 1 (Virtual Audio Cable)" as the microphone. Speakers as whatever it was before. Then start up the included Audio Repeater and set Wave In: Microsoft Sound Mapper Wave Out: Line 1 (Virtual Audio Cable) and click start. Apparently the Microsoft Sound Mapper stream includes the built in microphone in my laptop. Couldn't possibly say if this would work with other soundcards, external microphones etc.

DO NOT WANT! uTorrent is still great. Don't install the toolbar or use the app store if you don't want to; the other features still work fine. Install from Ninite if you don't even want to be asked about toolbars.

Don't install the toolbar and then disable all the stuff you don't want from the Options menu. You can even disable the ad for uTorrent Plus! It's still the best torrent client for Windows.

It would normally be installed to c:\program files(x86). Administrative users don't seem to have the option of installing to their profile, but I didn't really check it out very thoroughly.  Thanks for the information.I'm looking for a way to use a remote desktop connection of sorts to connect to my mother's computer (I live on the other side of the country). Windows' client is no good because it only works for editions greater than Home Premium. All I need is something that will allow me to install programs and features from a distance. What do you recommend? Am I able to use it to switch the user to Administrator in case I have to use the account? EDIT: My girlfriend recommended RealVNC.

That's the main reason I was looking for a skype addon - something I could plug mp3's into directly could work in theory, but meanwhile my Microsoft Sound Mapper ain't mapping too much. As I say I'll definitely give it a whirl, but it won't be the first time my crappy onboard sound has mucked things up. I would just get a sound card but I'm reluctant to shell out the cash for something I'm not sure would work (granted it probably would, but all the same, I wouldn't otherwise get a new one at all if it weren't for this). I'll try and grab hold of VAC after Christmas and give your setup a try and see what happens. Thanks again!

For what it's worth, on my computer Stereo Mix is a completely separate entry from Microsoft Sound Mapper in the replicator. Also VAC would allow you to record from other programs as well, although it might require you to set one of the virtual cables as the default output device temporarily/not hear what you are recording while recording.

I can't confirm this right at the moment, but the helpee should be able to pass that ability on to the helper when he requests control, see checkbox below:  Note that there was a conscious decision to not allow this in Windows Vista, which made Remote Assistance almost entirely useless in that version.

It runs as a service that you connect to with a web browser, the fact that it launches a browser when it starts is a setting you can configure.

Then it hit me that this was working because the microphone was picking up the sound from the speakers  So, you know, forget what I said. Messing around a little more with VAC reveals that it's totally possible to do this the proper way. If you have "Stereo Mix" as an option As it stands, I think your options are severely limited to something that's specifically aimed at Skype. For the love of god, do not try something called TunesUp, there's no download without crapware available and it kept bluescreening my computer even on uninstall and I had to do a system restore to get it back into a working state. And I couldn't find anything else that even said it would do what you asked for. To summarize: I'm retarded and you're back at square one.

Hey, this is a pretty embarrassing question but I'm kind of starved for an answer. I've recently built a high-endish gaming PC running 64 bit Windows 7. It's working beautifully, and I'm very happy, but I'm kind of frustrated with how weak the audio feels. I can listen to the same audio file with the same headphones at max volume on this PC and my 2009 Macbook Pro and it will sound very noticeably more robust and quite a bit louder and more forceful on the Macbook. I'm not sure if the answer is "get a sound card" or what. Is there some way I can fiddle with the settings or otherwise mess around with my PC to match the "oomph" of my Macbook's sound?

Should I be able to join a domain, if I am able to ping it and I have access to the admin account of the DC? I was working with some VMs this week, noticed when I pinged contoso.com it went to the wrong location. I modified my hosts file to the correct IP, now when I ping contoso.com it functions as intend but I still receive the same error that it can't contact a domain controller. What gives?

Hanks Lust Cafe posted:Is there some way I can fiddle with the settings or otherwise mess around with my PC to match the "oomph" of my Macbook's sound? Unless the driver of your current soundcard offers some options, I'm going to say no. Nothing that is remotely practical. And you're not going to improve sound quality with those in any case. "Weak" sound could purely be a side effect of the output not being loud enough, or there could be a quality problem as well. There's no way to tell from the way you describe it. The fact that you mention headphones, is that just for an all-other-things-being-equal comparison, or do you actually use headphones most of the time? A headphone amp (or any other old amp serving as one) might be something to look into if this is purely about loudness. Another soundcard might help on the quality front. It depends on what the real problem is.
