Audacity Overriding Other Media Players

Post by Yaklovitch » Thu Sep 13, 2012 12:58 am

Running Audacity 2.0.2 on Vista Service Pack 2. Installed Audacity from a disc that came with a USB turntable...upgraded to 2.0.2 online with exe.

Audacity works fine, but ever since installation, I can't get any audio out of any other players...Windows Media Player, Realplayer, etc.

Internet audio (Youtube,etc) is OK. Vista speaker tests work fine.

Has this happened to anyone else?
