Recording from external sources

2009-01-15 Thread Peter Alan Smith
Greetings fellow audio lovers.  I am new to the list and I have a question
for those of you who use Jaws and Goldwave.  I have been successfully
recording from external devices, mostly cassette players, into Goldwave via
an external device called an Inport made by Xitel.  Wires run from my tape
deck into the small Inport device, which contains its own sound card,
then into a USB port on my pc.   To avoid having the sound cards clash, I
would have to add a new line of text to the Jaws ini file that told Jaws
that the synthesizer port was my pc sound card.  I then had to check the
use default only box in the sounds control panel.  I would restart the pc,
start up Goldwave, start recording on a new file, hit the play button on the
external device, and get an mp3 file for my efforts!

This was cumbersome, especially having to worry about clashing sound cards.
But it worked for 2 years.  Well, I recently upgraded from Jaws 7 to Jaws 9.
Now every time I go through this procedure, I get a Jaws application error.
It knocks Jaws out so that I can't get more details as well.  The last thing
I hear is Jaws application error, a message is being sent.,
then the sound is gone!  Once in a while, I manage to save some recorded
sound in Goldwave, but it contains that bonking noise that you hear when you
have done something Windows doesn't like.  Something is definitely up.  I
have tried work arounds such as turning off Jaws once I hit the play button
on the external device, but to no avail.  Things seem to go fine right up
until I send sound in from the external device.  I have tried every
permutation I can think of; making sure the sound cards are either the one
in the pc, or the Inport one in Goldwave and the control panel.  I am
getting to the point of giving up.  I wonder if there is a better way of
doing this.
Surely there must be other folks using Jaws, Goldwave, and recording sounds
from external devices.  What do you all use?  I have tried googling key
words to see what others might use, but no luck so far.  Rick Harmon, the
Blind Geek Zone master, recommended that I contact the PC Audio group.  You
all sound very knowledgeable and I really hope that you can point me in the
right direction.  Perhaps there are ways that avoid using more than one
sound card?  Let me know what you think.

Most Sincerely,

I do this using an iMic.  I don't worry about changing the JAWS default
soundcard; I simply plug in the USB device and then JAWS comes through its
headphone output, which is ok for the purpose. What happens if you just plug
in the device to the USB port?

Just change your default output device in control panel, no need really to be

RE: Recording from external sources

2009-01-15 Thread Peter Alan Smith
Thanks, I'll give it a test.  Perhaps things have changed, but when I first
set this up, as soon as I plugged the Inport into the USB slot, Jaws quit.
That was when I got advice from FS to put in the additional line into the
ini file.  I also have a port replicator which I disconnect as the Inport
folks say you should plug right into the pc and not into any external ports
because they might cause snaps, crackles and pops.

I'll give it a go.

Cheers,

Peter

Trying to install the prs software that comes with the plextalk ptr2

Hi all

I have asked the same question on the plextalk ptr list but maybe some of
you who own the ptr2 and who are not on that list may have some idea on how
to fix this weird problem!

When I try to install the prs software that comes with the plextalk ptr2, I

1608 unable to create install driver instance return code -24172147024894

The ptr is connected to the computer as instructed and the cd drive is
selected in the plextalk control panel.

This did not happen on another computer I installed the software on.

Can anyone help?

nedding some nero seven assistance with a burning stuff off of my c drive issue

2009-01-15 Thread Casey
Hi okay I have Nero 7 it is the one with the start smart center and then 
Nero express.

okay well now I am having an issue where.
If I like lets say go under one of my music folders on my computer and make 
a lay out for burning on to a blank cd r for playing in my stereo or in 
whatever cd player that I would like to play it in after it has been made.
So I put all of the files that are all mp3s bye the way in the order that I 
would like the to be on the disc.

then I burn the disc and then when it is finished.
I take the disc out and go to play it in a cd player.
And there are tracks there but no audio.
Now this seemed to have started since I was messing around to get the johny 
Horton image file to burn in to an audio cd.

Witch again had all of the tracks but no audio.
It was like the tracks are the songs with no audio of the song on the track.
But the tracks were there because the cd player was counting like it would 
when you would put a store boughten disc in and were playing it.
So I took that disc and looked at it on the computer and all of the tracks 
and titles of them were there just not the audio.
So can this be corrected with out a lot of hassle and what do I have to do 
so that I can correct this?
Or should I just go in Nero 7's menus and find restore to defaults and hit 
that?

Maybe that would fix it.
So all assistance and suggestions are welcome.
And thank you to everyone for any help I may get with this interesting 
problem.

problem with winamp 5.52

2009-01-15 Thread Sharon Lash
Window-Eyes version 6.1.
XP PRO.
There is a song title that keeps appearing on the screen all the time. It 
appears in the mouse window. Once at the bottom of the screen and then two 
lines above. It doesn't matter what track is playing at the time. This other 
title that I speak of is always there. Of course, the present song title is 
also there when I use control-shift-t to read it. This old title has been there 
for the longest time, and I can't figure out where Winamp is getting it from. 
It's not in my bookmarks, and the media library is empty. Thanks in advance.
