- Problem: Blackboard IM (4.5.3), in its call window , gives you audio output volume meters
, but no actual audio output. - Reason: Blackboard IM seems to have its on in-built idea which device to output audio to, even if you have no actual speakers plugged in to hear, and it is rather difficult to dissuade.
- Solution:
- Start / Run /”mmsys.cpl”, “OK”: Do the volume meters in there indicate that Blackboard IM outputs to another but your expected speaker (even if the other device is not the default)?
- Right-click on the other speaker device and Disable it.
- Also make sure to restart Blackboard IM. The built-in startup / dial tones will tell you immediately whether audio output works now
