Emne: Re: Bose and B

I’m sorry but we’re travelling down two different roads here, go look for a 
Bose pair of headphones in an Audiophile magazine and see how far you get.

I’m not saying Bose are bad, they’re certainly not the worst but they’re by no 
means the best, get your Bose and then go and hear a pair of headphones 
featured in an Audiophile magazine, won’t take you long to spot the difference.

Thanks for mentioning these cans, I can't see any reason why I shouldn't buy a 
pair given that they come in at around $360 in various places I've found with 
Google, would be good to have a nice sounding spare pair as seconds to the B

Interesting, I thought we’d gone beyond using scripts for Skype now, it seems 
to me at any rate that the latest version of Skype for Windows is very 
accessible indeed, has been like that for quite some time and full credit to 
Microsoft addressing many accessibility issues.

Its great that people are writing scripts but I don’t like to use them when I 
can avoid doing so as they isolate the user from the way the running App 
actually works so therefore you’re tied to one system or one Screen Reader and 
thus don’t have the knowledge of how functions are used in the App itself, only 
my opinion of course.

Hi!

For those who use Skype For Windows, I discovered that the feature to generate 
tones whilst on a call now works, in previous versions of Skype For windows 
getting this feature to work was problematic at best - in most cases I couldn’t 
get the function to work at all -.

Anyway Microsoft have certainly fixed the problem so here’s how to activate the 
function.

Whilst on a call use the tab key to move to the “Dial Pad” button and press 
space, from here you can use the top row of numbers on your keyboard to enter 
responses to automated bank systems or whatever, you can even paste a string of 
numbers into the Edit box which comes up when the “Dial Pad” button is pressed 
and have the appropriate tones entered for you by Skype automatically.

There are several converters that should allow going from .mp3 to an .m4a.
In order to keep the length of the files short though, normally around 30
seconds for a ringtone, I've always done the conversion within ITunes.
The extension for the ringtones is simply the .m4a filetype with its
extension changed.
I'm still using an older version of ITunes that has the sidebar, but, if you
need help figuring it out, I can give it a shot.
Take care.

Emne: Gigaset C610 IP VOIP Phone

The phone arrived sooner than I expected, ordered it yesterday and it 
was at my door around an hour ago.

I’ve just configured the phone and the task took less time than I 
thought it may, everything was clearly laid out in the support guide 
provided by Internode though this phone certainly supports other VOIP 
providers which either can be configured manually or are already there 
in the firmware of the Gigaset, all the user need do then is to type in 
the appropriate user information particular to the user.

so a brief description of the phone would seem in order.

If you’re a user of Siemen’s cordless phone systems then the design will 
look perfectly familiar to you, a simple base box with a “Paging” button 
on the front and a number of handsets depending on how many you 
purchased with the base, in my case I have one handset though I may buy 
more in the future.

The system can handle both VOIP and PSTN calls, a maximum of 6 different 
VOIP accounts from different VOIP providers can be installed and 
configured, these can be used simultaneously along with the PSTN line, 
the Gigaset can handle 3 parallel calls at any one time.

Users of Gigaset VOIP phone systems can set up separate Gigaset VOIP 
accounts, this way all Gigaset users throughout the world an communicate 
via the Gigaset network for free, handy if you know a whole bunch of 
people with Gigaset phones, as for now I’m using the Nodephone VOIP 
system though I do plan to configure Mynetfone, I also have my PSTN line 
connected.

Still a fair bit to do, I have to configure the answering machine - the 
gigabit can support 6 answering machines - and I have to do some 
tweaking but I do know at this point that I can make and receive calls 
and that’s the important thing.

Such a system as described would be incredibly useful for those who 
didn’t want to muck about with a separate VOIP adapter, who just wanted 
the phone.

If you buy the Gigaset from Internet then it will come pre configured, 
all the user need do is to connect the phone to their rooter.

Emne: Re: Gigaset C610 IP VOIP Phone

Yep I’ll give a description once I get my head around everything, still some 
things to explore.

I can tell you now that one of the things I like about the Kigaset is that the 
buttons are a hard plastic and require a firm press, I don’t like those rubber 
buttons and in any case, I find they don’t last too long.

The buttons trigger a very short identifiable beep when pressed, the volume of 
this beep can be controlled, the beep sound is nice and short thus its not 
annoying as is the case with so many phones these days for the home market.

Shortcuts are a plenty with this device, holding down the hash key locks the 
phone for example, that function is a toggle and holding down the number one 
key calls the voice mail service if you have one, you can define the number 
called.

there are 2 soft keys at the top which can be defined to perform different 
tasks, open a list of the various VOIP providers for example so you can scroll 
down to the one you want to dial out with.

Of course you have the regular features that can be set up such as dialling 
plans and rules, these are set up from the built in Web Configurator.

 Subject: Re: lossless music streaming by wifi


 This can be made so very simple, buy an Apple Airport Express plug it
 into the Line-in of your Hi-Fi in the other room and stream to your
 hearts content.

 If your Hi-Fi has a digital input then you can make full use of this
 by using the digital output of the Airport Express.

 You can also put the Airport Express to good use as an extra Wireless
 Access Point, Wireless Extender etc.

 I think the Airport Express is only $50 now, about the same cost as a
 good RCA lead and yep, I wouldn't like to risk running a long RCA
 lead, the possability of more interference and loss of quality is
 certainly there.

 I don't want to brag but streaming around my house is my passion so
 yeah, I like to think I know one or two things about streaming or
 getting audio/video from one location to another smile.

 Hi all


 Am moving to a new flat and have to sort out my sound stuff now.


 I play all my music through the computer now.  My hifi system will be
 standing in one room and my computer in another one.


 So I need to get the sound from one to the other.


 I have the following options:


 1.Using the output of a digital to audio converter and lay
 down an
 RCA to RCA cable of quite a few meters from one room to the other.
 This
 might be the cheapest way.  But with such a long cable you will
 start to
 find interference  as these cables are not supposed to be so long.
 And you
 do also get some sound reduction.

 2.Using some kind of LAN device.  I do not know if such a thing
 exist at all – a device with which you can stream  music ythrough
 LAN that
 has an analog output.   It would also necessitate the laying of long
 cables
 which could also be a problem.

 3.Then there is the option I may want to examine.  My
 question is
 whether with the technology available today it is possible to stream
 music
 in lossless format through a WIFI connection.  I would like to do
 this using
 my media player of choice which is Foobar 2000 at present.  I don’t
 want to
 use Itunes as I find it cumbersome and limited.

 Any suggestions about which way to go?

Hi,
Yeah you must assign a shot down sound, under sounds, and if you enable
quick start you'll most likely not hear the sound.

Hi,
Fast boot, or hybrid shutdown, isn't quite same as complete shutdown from
older Windows releases. You will not hear Windows startup sound when fast
boot (hybrid shutdown) is enabled because some system components are resumed
from hibernation. You need to turn off fast boot to hear startup sound.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi.

Running windows 8.1 64 bit enterprise, and when I boot up my Toshiba laptop,
satellite pro c-50-a, boots up fast boot, have jaws hear the sign in
message, but do not hear the start up sound for windows, and then jaws
starts up.

Gone to sounds, and have the windows sound scheme, and the sound scheme
modified.

How do I get the windows start up sound, and it is checked, and so.

Real weird.

Do not want to have to reinstall windows again.

All other sounds are working.

So.

How do I get this back, is there a windows 8.1 64 bit enterprise sound pack,
for my Toshiba, or maybe download the sound drivers, for windows 7, that's
what originally came with my laptop, and then upgraded to windows 8.1 using
classic shell.

As doing a it programming course and quite a few of the programming
examples,about 80 - 90 % were for windows store and windows phone apps.

So.

Any one got any ideas.

Also, need to find theshutdown   and wake up sounds.

Any one has this issues with a Toshiba laptop.

Just annoying.

Had the start up sound in windows 7, shutdown, and wakeup from sleep

Any one know where I get these soundpacks.

Very annoying.

Love windows 8.1, and I can start the start screen if I want.

Do not want to have to reinstall windows 8.1, just because these annoying
three little problems.

Marvin.

Hi,
Well I don't think they'll work both together.
You must assign a startup sound, in control panel under sounds.
I belive it's no longer assigned.
There is a tree view, where you find windows shot down and tab over and
choose the sound you want.

Best regards
Brian
