IVA+Plus - No Sound During the IVA+Plus Test

If you do not hear a train's whistle when you click on the IVA+Plus icon from the desktop, then IVA+Plus is not recognizing your computer's sound card for one reason or another.  If this is the case, check the following:

• The computer has to have a sound card installed.  Refer to the computer's manufacturer for this information.

• The speakers must be hooked into the computer properly and the connection must be secure.

• The volume on the speakers and/or the monitor must be turned up.  Be sure that the speakers are turned on and that the volume control is turned to an adequate level.

• The volume in Windows must be turned on.  Double-click on the speaker icon located on the taskbar by the computer's clock to open the Volume Control window.  Be sure that none of the volume controls are muted, and that all are turned to an appropriate level.

• The computer's sound card must be DirectX compatible.  To do this, run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.  If it is not, you may need to download a DirectX compatible driver.

You can adjust the sound within the IVA program, as well. To do this:

• Double-click on the BrainTrain Test Battery II icon on the desktop to start the program.

• Click on the IVA+Plus Continuous Performance Test option from the menu and then click the Start Program button.

• Click the Utilities button.

• The Volume Adjustment slide at the top of the screen allows you to increase or decrease the volume.  Once you have moved the slide to an appropriate place, click the Test button to ensure that the volume has been adjusted accordingly.
