need sound card recommendations

2010-05-04 Thread Betsy
Hello, I am in the market for a new internal sound card and would greatly appreciate any recommendations or thoughts on what not to buy. I don't need anything too fancy, but want to get the best for my money and need to keep it around $75 if possible. I am running Jaws10 with XP. Any advice

when I first started playing mp3 files they played but every now and then the player would announce cartridge error. It doesn't any more since I moved them all to the audio+podcasts folder. - Original Message - From: DJ DOCTOR P djdoct...@att.net To: PC Audio Discussion List

There is no special book shelf firmware, and if you'd had the latest version of the firmware, you shouldn't have had to do anything. Here's what it says at the BARD Talk FAQ at http://www.bardtalk.com/faq.php: 4. How can I access the player's bookshelf feature and why is this not mentioned in

Hello Chris, I did do that after putting a couple of books on an LNS cartridge. But I found that not to be the case. And so I had to download the Bookshelf firmware and install it on the player. In spite of the fact that they tell you this on their website, it's not always true. I'm telling you

Ah, OK. I understand. It wasn't my intention to challenge your personal experience. My experience agreed with the web site, namely I had the latest FW on my player, and I didn't need to do anything special to access the bookshelf mode on my player. I'm curious, what special bookshelf firmware

Hello Chris, What I had to download, is a zip folder that's called, DTPM_latest_software.zip. Inside that folder, is another file that's called, upgrade. I never opened the folder to see what kind of files are in it, but I got it from their firmware web page. My best regards. John. -

Hello all, Let me put my two cents in on the subject of NLS players. I have had mine since October or November and have used it extensively, but am no techy expert. first, if the player is working correctly, the only way I believe it could tgo from 15 hours to one would be if you forgot to

Hello Jerry, Mine has 2.1.0.3. So if this is true about what you say about the latest version having the Bookshelf included in it, then why didn't it work for me? Why did I have to download it and install it on my NLS player. As I said in an earlier post, that's not always the kase. If you ask

I may be missing your point since you didn't include the message you're responding to, but my understanding of how the NLS player works, and the way I want it to work, is that if I'm listening to a book then I want it to play until I turn it off or I enable the sleep mode. I don't want it to shut

Interesting, but the file you're referring to is just the latest firmware for the NLS player, which is currently version 2.1.3. It isn't any special bookshelf software. Since you said you were already at the latest level of firmware, I wonder what was going on with your player. I wonder if somehow

High Chris, I think I know what Tom is getting at here. Some how, he is getting in inaccurate reading of his battery life or the kind of charge he has left in it after a time. If the player isn't playing a book, then it's suppose to turn itself off after a half-hour. But Tom's player doesn't

Hi Tom, If the player is actually on, but the play button hasn't been pressed, there may be a problem with the unit if it doesn't shut off after 30 minutes when it is on battery power. I really have to watch it though, because since the book starts if a cartridge is in and the on button is

Hi John, You may be correct, but from the BARD site there are no four digit versions. They all have three digits. You mension below that you have 2.1.0.3. so I am not sure what you had. when I got my player it was version 2.0.3. This didn't have the book shelf feature. The BARD site says
