lots of ideas, do this first, go to control panel, sounds and audio devices, and, press control-tab. You will land on a tab which says volume page. Press the right arrow until you hear audio tab. Now press the tab key until you hear sound playback device, combo box, where you change the default playback device.

Re: selecting only one channel for a sound in sound forge 8
Another way is to tab to the side you want to mute and hit alt p followed by m. That will mute the selected side for the whole file. If you only want to mute part of it, simply select that part, tab to that channel and hit alt p m. 锦发/Steady Goh About Steady Groh 吴锦发 - Original Message - From: Barry Chapman To: PC Audio Discussion List Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:54 PM Subject: Re: selecting only one channel for a sound in sound forge 8 Hi Chris, One way of doing what you want in Sound Forge is to do the following. 1. Record all of your clips on both channels as normal. 2. Convert to mono if the left and right channels contain different things (i.e. are in stereo) and you want a combination of both channels to appear in one. 3. Open a new file and create a file of silence which is longer than any of the sections you wish to mute. 4. Copy this new file to the clipboard with Ctrl+a and ctrl+c. 5. Switch back to the original file with ctrl+f6. 6. As you know, pressing tab cycles between left channel, right channel and both. If you want to mute the left channel, tab until you only hear the left channel and select the section of recording you wish to mute using the i and o keys. I'm sure you know how to do this. 7. From the edit menu, select paste special and overwrite. This will overwrite only as much of the left channel as you have selected with the silence from the other file. You will get a warning about copying two channels to one, but just select OK. You can probably avoid this warning if you record your silence file in mono. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 as above for the right channel. I hope this helps.

I think what needs to happen is the source files i have need to be in one channel only, but again, there's the rub, i'm not sure how to do that. In this instance, the production would sound something like this... you would hear a sound in the left channel *only* and then you would hear a voice in both channels, followed by a sound that appears in the right channel *only* So you get that kind of effect where it bounces all over the place. I know writing it out doesn't do it justice, but that's what it would sound like. What happens when I use the tab key and the sound only plays through one channel, it only plays through that channel as long as it's set that way. I basically need to take 2 of these sound clips, and mute one channel in each of them. I hope I've explained this right? Thanks.

As it says in the subject line, I'm using Sound Forge 8. I'm just not able to afford version 9 at the moment so you know how it is, you work with what you have. In this production, I have a bunch of short audio clips and i have no problem mix pasting them all together on top of a music bed, that part's easy. What I want to do however, and I'm pretty sure SF 8 can do this but I'm not sure? but what I want to do is take one of these sound clips, set it to only play on the left channel, and then just after that one, i want another one to play only on the right channel. I've been through all the options, and a friend of mine suggested maybe using mute, because in an earlier version, you can only mute one channel. That's essentially what I need to do but I'm not sure how. Even more curious is the fact that if I press the tab key once, the sound of the file only goes through the left, then another press of the tab key goes over to the right, and then a third press brings us back to both channels. I would need to figure out how to get one of these sounds to only play through one channel, so I hope this can be done. i do have other recording programs like Goldwave and Studio Recorder so I'm all set with the actual programs, but just need to know how
Re: Why does Winamp reset volume on stream drop?
OK, which one? Surely not DSP, since I have none selected. Surely not input, for the same reason.

Re: Speakers
Hi. I believe I'm understanding that you have two jacks for 2.1 speakers? truth be known, there should only be one jack necessary. I believe that if you have to use two jacks like that with that setup, probably your issue is getting your sound card to realize that the left channel is plugged into one jack on the sound card and the right is in another.

Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders
Ok, I'll try that -- just did, found what you're talking about, but only can hear slider 2, but cannot determine any changes, and if slider 2 is the microphone of the output of the phone, (microphone over the line) that would be nice to control in some way. I tried re-classing in Window-Eyes to see if the custom control, could be made into a up down control, or some other scrollable control, no luck, no difference in the amount of change viewable, as you say by a screen reader. I made the assumption that these sliders were for headset volume and microphone volume of the headset/USB devices, did not know they could make a change in the magic jack volume which is quite high over the phone, here. :) Thanks!

The interface on the screen is not to accessible, but it has a skype-like interface and you can enter numbers and there is a dial and hang-up button. However, once the program is loaded, you can minimize the screen, so Magicjack is hidden or minimized; then you can plug a regular house phone into the MJ unit and you are ready to go. You get a regular dial-tone and you can make phone calls directly from the regular phone. You don't even have to use the screen at all. It works directly like a regular phone. One thing: On my old Dell Desktop, once I plug the MJ unit, the sound goes to the phone (XP Pro); however, when I plug the MJ unit into the HP Desktop (Vista) I don't get the same effect and the sound stays with the computer. You can turn off JAWS and just use the phone. Some guy said you could start JAWS first and plug in the MJ unit later and the USB may not take over the sound card. Like I said, MJ is definitely usable via the phone regardless of your screenreader. I have the unit and it works fine. They could, however, do a little script-type work on the screen interface. The good thing about it is that, once you get the unit, your phone costs go way down. You only have to pay a small licensing fee in succeeding years ($18 a year for me, as I bought unit early, but it may be cheaper for current purchasers). Free long distance in US and Canada and skype-type credits for calling abroad. I think, however, that, if you sent a friend or relative in another country a unit, you could have free long-distance calling, as long as you both are logged on or if you call your MJ number and it is in England, they could answer it and pay nothing. I like that.

Re: the old fm transmitter question again
Just to add to my other post: If you can find one on Ebay that is assembled the Ramsey Fm100B does everything you'd want in a transmitter that would connect to your computer and transmit your music around the house. The advantage of that transmitter is that it has its own built in mixer with 2 sets of rca inputs and a microphone jack. The frequency is also easy to set and it locks as well so you can't inadvertently knock it off frequency. It also has its own built in whip antenna. If you can find one assembled it's about as plug 'n play as it gets. - Original Message - From: Dave McLean [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 4:41 PM Subject: Re: the old fm transmitter question again The British company you're probably thinking of is Veronica.

RE: Speakers
Hi. The two speakers are connected to the subwoofers. And from there is the wire with volume tuner and there's something written in there, to sub and from source. It is then connected to the computer. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Valiant8086 (on laptop) Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 11:22 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Speakers Hi.
