Preview On External Monitor

I recently purchased a Director's Cut box from www.powerr.com and it came today. I hooked it up and the video part of it works great on previewig on the TV. I like it because I can see what is actually going to show up when played on the TV. The DC has a cool headphone jack, but VV3 doesn't seem to send sound out when previewing (only the video signal). It does send out the sound as usual when printing to tape from the capture program. Is there any way to get it to send out sound while simply previewing while editing in VV3? It would be nice to turn off the speakers and use the headphone feature.

If i had to guess, i'd say that Sonic Foundry's figuring on this matter is
that you can always just take the audio out from your computer's sound
card and pipe it anywhere you want ... such as into the audio input of
your video monitor, for example. You could always buy (or make) a
little switch box to send it to your computer speakers, headphones,
monitor amp, video monitor, etc. It could probably be built with $25
worth of parts from Radio Shack.

Is the sound card output on a separate mixer channel from your built in
speakers? I wouldn't think so. If not, then you're feeding your sub
woofers the same audio signal that any other speaker should see. You
could pass that signal to both the sub woofers and an external monitor.

Just a quicky on the directors cut unit...
Do you find that then exporting the image is a bit brighter and lacks a bit of color saturation?
I have just got one and capturing is great with the exception of any small glitches in the sync will make a large glitch in the capture.

You might try a split Y connector on your audio output. Should be enough juice there to power both inputs with a little twiddling on your settings.they're cheap, and you can buy just one to see if it works before you buy the other.
