Well I did not know you could do this. It sounds like Windows has the ability to emulate a class A amp. A class A amplifier uses more resistance to lower the volume. They run cooler when cranked up. Most home amplifiers are class B, they use power to drive the sound so they run warmer the louder you play them. Class A amps are used mostly in commercial applications for bands and disk jockeys.

It works great, and we both really like the service and how easy Hope makes it to use. Just an odd thing about my volume indicator though, on my Vista machine with Window Eyes 7.2, the volume percentage goes down as the volume goes up. But on her Win XP system using JAWS 10, the volume percentage goes up as the volume increases, which is how I would think it should work. Also, the song position indicator goes down from 100 percent on my system, but goes up on hers from 0 percent. Anybody know why it does that? Not complaining; as I said, everything works great. I'm just wondering why it's reversed on my system. It seems that it should have something to do with Window Eyes, (unless the fact that we're using different versions of Windows has something to do with it, which seems unlikely.) Thanks much.
