Solved not plugegd in onboard audio device after disconnecting external audio

[xoozey]

I have an Echo Audiofire4 firewire device, for some reasons I need to constantly switch between Echo and my onboard audio device (realtech sth).
I remember I could do it in the past, but due to the Echo installation problems I disabled it from windows startup menu and now, though I enabled it again, it is not shown plugged-in in "manage audio device window". I prefer not to uninstall Echo driver, it took me so long to installing it after all.
any idea?

I don't know the answer to your problem but I did find a site that might have what you are looking for.

thanks Layback Bear, actually i found out what the problem was, it was the speaker-out jack of my onboard sound card. i jiggled it a little bit, and it started to work just fine, apparently due to my constant plugging in and out the jack it is a bit damaged.

Small suggestion. Use a short extension cable plugged into the sound card and leave it in the card. Plug and unplug the normally used cable into the the extension. That way you won't damage the card.
