Thanks to Susan and others, I now have TR and winamp co-existing as long
as
I start my stream in winamp before I launch TR. I've also followed all of
Susan's recommended settings below (as far as I can tell).
The problem is the only thing TR is capturing/recording is Eloquence when
I
press Record and Stop.
I can stream and run Eloquence together no problem. I just can't record
them
together with TR. Note, I'm not interested in Eloquence. I'm just pressing
Record before the program I want begins and then leaving the computer
alone.
I know I can also schedule the recording and then leave the PC alone
and/or
unload JAWS.
It seems like I'm missing something that should be obvious, but I humbly
welcome any help - obvious or otherwise.
I'm running TR 5.2 Standard, JAWS 6.2, on a new PC with XP pro.

Jim,
In case you are using Windows 98, here are some thoughts on what you may
need to do to get TRworking optimally.
First, I know of no way to use TR with software speech on an older OS,
though for me it works fine with XP without Eloquence sounds bleeding
through or causing conflicts. Another difference i found between 98 and
XP
is that in 98 i always had to have Total Recorder up and running before
accessing the stream. There seems to be a conflict with the Total
Recorder
driver used for recording streams and Winamp, possibly the other audio
players as well. if this is true you will get an error message that
another
driver is accessing your sound card or something like that. The best
workaround for me involved switching to the Direct Sound under output
plugins in Winamp. The Wavout plugin is the default but it does not
always
coexist peacefully with the TR driver. in order to record, your sound
card
or mixer settings need to go through total recorder and for Winamp to work
you must be sure that it is going through your sound card and not the
Microsoft sound mapper. When switching between chat clients such as
Ivocalize and Winamp or Total Recorder, I found it necessary to check
these
settings every time and i couldn't always tell whether ivocalize or Total
Recorder was the culprit. Also, your recording parameters should be set
as
follows;
first, go into the record source parameters dialog, and
make sure the radio button for software is checked, which it should be by
default, then, if you want to convert on the fly, check the check box that
says convert using specified parameters below, and then pressthe change
button, and pick mpeg3 from the 13 or so formats in the combo box, and I
choose 44,100 128 bit rate, and then after you get the settings the way
you
want, you can press apply and okay. Then, go into
options from the file menu, by right arrowing, and then pressing enter,
and
enter again on the settings dialog, and you should be in the system tab,
which should be one of 12, and first, tab to the two radio buttons, and
then
select the bottom of the two, telling total recorder only to run its'
driver
when the program runs. Then, check both the check boxes that say use
directly, press okay, and apply, and everything should be set up. Then,
tab
to the mp3 tab, and in there, you have to press the button to tell total
recorder where to look for the lame encoder, which should be in c:\program
files\lame and press open, and I think the .dll is the bottom file before
you press the open button. Then you should have total recorder set up,
just
choose stereo from the radio buttons in that tab, and everything should be
