Hi listers, Last week I wrote regarding a driver conflict between Winamp and Total Recorder. Dain was able to give me the necessary steps for restoring the Winamp defaults so I am now again able to use Winamp in conjunction with speech via the wavout plugin. However, whenever I switch into or out of Total Recorder, I find that I not only need to reconfigure Winamp, but also my multimedia properties, or else Winamp or chat programs will either fail to open or give error or illegal operations messages. Since I am also not hearing Windows bootup sounds even though the sound events appear to be set correctly, I'm wondering if this means I have a problem with activeX controls in terms of files being missing or corrupted or whatever. I'm wondering whether and/or how to update or reinstall sound drivers and whether this will help.
In the meantime, I have uninstalled TR since i cannot work out the problem with the virtual driver. I suppose I could record a software stream through my mixer via the lineout? and then bypass the driver and record it back to the HD, but don't know what this would do to the quality, especially in the case of music I want to burn to CD's, not expecting any good news here. Stupid question: would Goldwave allow me to record streams directly without an auxiliary driver and would it be worth it to purchase it for this, orwould I run into the same problems? In looking in the Soundblaster diagnostics I saw the option to change to factory defaults to test what is going on, but don't want to do this without advice and, in fact, have avoided anything that drastic in case it involves having to search for my Win 98 CD's. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on this. I have posted to the Blindtech list as well and would appreciate if anyone could forward this to the Winamp4theblind list ... I'd do it myself but am not a member and Freelists and I do not seem to be getting along right now, lol. my thanks for any and all help with this. Hope it makes sense.
