My gosh that fixed it. Thanks so much. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Clower [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 8:43 AM To: gw-info-gwmicro.com Subject: To anyone noticing sluggish speech in Vista or Windows 7, Was: Decaccess 32 versus Eloquence
Don, Open up the sound applet in the Windows control panel. Select your Sound Blaster in the list, and click "Properties." Navigate to the "enhancements" tab, and be sure the "disable all sound effects" box is checked. Click "Apply," and close the window. You should notice an immediate improvement in audio quality and responsiveness.
