RE: Goldwave/JAWS Questions
Hi Rob, Dave and listers, Rob, thank you thank you, I did exactly what you said in Goldwave, setting all the visuals to blank, and by golly that did the trick! Goldwave works beautifully with JAWS now. I'm editing a wave file now and my USB headphones are connected, no problems. Thank you so much again. Dave, thank you for your comments as well. I do plan on installing NVDA as my backup or secondary screen reader.

Re: Goldwave/JAWS Questions
It seems like a USB problem because you say when JFW stops you can't get portable NVDA to work, but you can still save your GoldWave stuff. So your machine isn't frozen. You just can't get USB to function. Until you solve it, perhaps you could install NVDA rather than trying to use it on a flash drive, or maybe even use Narrator. This way you could at least get around without sighted help. - Original Message - From: "Jim Hunt" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 6:11 PM Subject: Goldwave/JAWS Questions Hello All, I recently heard that Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows XP in March of next year, 2014.

Re: Is Audacity more accessible on the PC or the Mac,or doesn't it matter?
Well, I'm using Total Recorder, not Audacity, so I don't know if this applies with Audacity. But with Total Recorder, you can set it so it only records streams that begin after Total Recorder is opened. Since JFW or whatever you're using opens when you start the machine, it won't be recorded. Better yet, you can assign JFW to your internal card, in my case a Connexant, and make Total Recorder's virtual device driver the Windows default sound card. As a result, JFW goes through the Conexant, and everything else goes to Total Recorder. This has the advantage that you can record streams that started before you open Total Recorder. Unfortunately, all this audio versatility was ruined in Vista, and continues with worthless 7 and even more worthless 8. - Original Message - From: "David Bailes" To: "PC-audio" Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 3:18 AM Subject: Re: Is Audacity more accessible on the PC or the Mac,or doesn't it matter?

FM however is hot! better than the sensitivity and selectivity found on such hot FM performers as the CC SW and the Sangean ATS909X radios. The PRD15 is totally electronically controlled and this means more facilities available including basss and treble controls, these are accessed by pressing in the rotary volume control, a menu pops up offering various audio adjustments to choose from so you turn the volume knob to select the audio adjustment you wish to modify and then press the knob in, turning of the knob from that point adjusts the desired setting but after 5 seconds of inactivity the knob reverts to the volume audio adjustment. I think the addition of bass and treble adjustments is a waste of time as they don't really make the radio sound any better, best leave it on "Flat" sound setting. The PRD15 will charge rechargeable batteries through a built-in charging circuit, as yet I've not found out how this is activated but I suspect 1 of the buttons on the front of the set is used to switch the charging circuit on, can't see any battery type switch in the battery compartment, that's been the standard place to find such things on Sangean sets in the past.
