Hi, Haven't been following this thread, could someone tell me what the iMic is? Sounds interesting...
James Scholes http://www.jls-radio.com -----Original Message----- Sent by Gary Schindler on Friday, February 06, 2009 at 03:17 PM there is a little switch on the right side of the IMic which is used for Mic or Line input. look beside the headphone jack and you should find it. it isn't a lever as such, but feels like part of the sound card. it slides back and forth. I hope this helps you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Alan Smith" <psmith.harv...@gmail.com> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 9:09 AM Subject: RE: iMic Thanks! I have tried setting it up without reading anything and this is foolish, but I am eager to play with this. Do you mind if I email you with a question or two after I go through the manual thoroughly? Right now I have to figure out where this lever is that they refer to. It's not apparent on the little disk. But it can't be that difficult. Cheers!

I think I only first ever had to do that when I got my Logitech headset for skype. But, why not do it anyway? Given how many USB devices there are nowadays that one may wish to use, and the potential for each of them to want to make itself the default output device, routinely editing the jaws.ini file to force JAWS to use the output device you wish it to is a relatively simple precaution against potential trouble. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Alan Smith" <psmith.harv...@gmail.com> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 8:41 PM Subject: RE: iMic Okay, when I used the xitel inport, I would have to go to the Jaws ini file and add a line of text saying that the port was the name of the default sound card. Then I would go into control panel sounds and check the box saying to use the default setting. Do I have to do that with this one?

But, if you have this problem, you should simply edit jfw.ini, to force JAWS to use the output device you wish it to, regardless of which device has the default output device assignment. Do you know how to do this? And, no, the Soundblaster Live 24bit external doesn't continually try to steal the default device assignment, just the logitech headset does that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Alan Smith" <psmith.harv...@gmail.com> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 4:44 PM Subject: RE: iMic Hi Donna, that is exactly what I want to do as well. My entire cd collection is now in my external hard drive. But the tapes contain loads of tunes from back in the day. Some quite hard to find. Then there's the vinyl! I used a thing called an inport by xitel but it kept knocking jaws out. Your SB device didn't do that? That's a good additional feature, but I will just turn on the external player and hit record on Goldwave. My only worry then will be that the sound levels are okay. I still haven't learned where those controls are in GW. Thanks! Namaste!

Leslie Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 2:04 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: iMic A couple of years ago, I replaced my IMic with the Soundblaster Live! External USB 24-bit soundcard, mainly because I wanted to have the "what you hear" feature, which the IMic does not support. However, before that, I used the IMic, very happily, for two or three years. I used it while digitizing my old cassette collection, with Goldwave. Sorry to hear it's become hard to obtain. It's an excellent little device, for the price. Its only drawback is that it doesn't support "what yu hear," Blessed Be, Namaste, Dana that's Dana, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A If your synthesizer pronounces them identically, instruct your customized pronunciation dictionary that Dana=dayna.
