I'd be very interested in knowing how to do this. I have a tourney on sunday night and I think we will go to two tables (in different rooms) for the first time.

BTW I have played with the beta for TD 2.0 and I think the sound issues will go away entirely. It is, however, a MUCH more complicated program. Also more powerful, but non nearly as easy to use.

I myself would not consider a person that downloaded it on a Monday, used it on a Tuesday, sent an email asking for help on a Wed, a freeloader. Right now I'm saving my $$$$ to pay for the operation to get my nuts back where they belong from carrying the towered pc around from table to table while I try and get sound on the laptop.

I'll still take and suggestions on getting the sound to work

No, you are quite right, if you can't get it to work, and the writer won't help, why would you donate? Totally fair point.

Diagnosis of sound problems always starts with the blindingly obvious:

1. Do other applications create sound properly?
2. Have you adjusted the sound files in any way or are you ruunning default?
3. Are you running all standard microsoft stuff, or have you played about with it in the past? (deleted modules etc) I strongly suspect that TD expects a very standard Windows build.

I had this problem with TD as well. I rolled back my version of Windows Media Player to the previous version and it fixed the problem. Might give that a try.

I've since switched to Dr. Neau Tournament Manager and really like it. Well worth the $10 per quarter fee if you have multi-tables, leagues, and want to customize the set-up. There's a bit of a learning curve with it at first, but once you figure that out it's a great program. The other nice thing with Dr. Neau TM is that it's java-based so you can run it on both Mac and PC.

If you have a wireless network, you can install Dr. Neau TM on both machines and run one as a server and the other as a client and it basically mirrors the server. I do this for my multi-room tournaments and it works great.

I was a little iffy on subscribing as well. I did the one-time payment so I could play around with the full-program and see if I thought it was worth the money and have since renewed for two quarters. Overall I'm very happy with the program.
Hope that helps - marc

I tried Dr N as well, and for some reason that I now can't remember didn't get on with it. I'm definitely going to give it another try given the info here. thanks.

1. yes, other applications work correctly

2.I'ved tried doing both, there is no difference

3. Dell inspiron 2200, just the way it came from the factory.

In college, I had a friend that brough a low-voltage transmitter from home... It looked like a radio shack model. Anyway, he hooked it up to his VCR and played porn for three nearby dorms. That is, until the FCC took an interest.

That got me to thinking that you could do the same thing with a laptop, and a TV in a second room.

I checked the internet and saw transmitters that broadcast from TV to a computer (so you could watch TV on your computer), but nothing that specifically went the other way. The easy solution is to run cables between the two, but I'm sure it can be done wirelessly... That's why I was soliciting suggestions to figure it out. Someone else must have done this somewhere, right?

But its not two machines, its a laptop and a TV that I want to hook-up... I might end up *having* to do two machines, though lugging my desktop into one of the rooms, just to lug it back at the end of the night, is not something I look forward to...

The way I run my multi table games is I have VNC server running on the main machine that has TD on it. I have VNC viewer on the other machines and just the viewer in full screen mode.

It works very out very well. The sound (when working) only is on the main TD machine through.

I got TD working. I followed the FAQ instructions on the TD page and it worked like a charm. Now I have spent to much time searching the net for sound clips that I can download and use!!!


Anybody know where I can get Rounder's sound bites???

Anybody got any other good suggestions for sounds??
