Default How can I get my web browers to use my M-Box as a soundcard

I am ashamed to ask this question, but how can I get Mozilla FireFox or Internet Explorer to use my M-Box as the sound card so youtube, myspace, etc... will play through my beautiful Monitors (which are hooked up to my mbox) opposed to my crappy laptop speakers.

What really bothers me is I broke the connection on my Earphones in my laptop so now I can't stick earphones into it or take a connection out from it or do anything with it, it just plays through the laptop speakers.

I have the M-Box set up as my default SoundCard and iTunes, Reason, Protools, Windows Media player all work with it fine with it. It just anything over the internet will not play through it.

I sure there is a simply answer to this but I just can't seem to find it.

Help it'd be greatly appreciated


Darigan

Add the IE and Firefox browser .exe's to the Wave Driver opt-in list using the MMEHelper.

The MMEHelper is referenced in the Getting Started Guide... as well as the Windows Audio Drivers Guide... Have you read them? You should have.

Though the link to the Digi MME Helper is wrong in the Windows Audio Drivers Guide.... it is also linked from the Windows Audio Drivers page of the Digidesign website.
