adjusting microphone setings on the Astro Wireless A50
Hi, I was wondering how do you get the microphone to be consistent when setting the mic volume. Every time I just put the headsets on and adjust the microphone, I always have to talk loud into the mic or move the microphone close to my mouth in order for people to here me, is this how the Astro Wireless headsets work, or do I need to turn on another setting. When I don't speak loud enough into the microphone people say they can't here me, when I test the microphone I noticed it gets loud at times and then fades out. I hope I was able to explain my issue with the astro wireless A50 microphone. -- This is Jason known as BlindFury To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Adjusting the settings on the microphone on the Astro Wireless A50

Re: adjusting microphone setings on the Astro Wireless A50
Yes I can and that's how I noticed the sensitivity of the microphone. On 1/15/2013 9:17 PM, Robert Logue wrote: i have not heard of that microphone. Some microphones are sensitive to placement. Can you set listen to this device in recording settings? That will let you listen to your voice as you use the headset. Make sure you have headphones on and that it is playing through the sound card that your headset is attached to. Skype and some other programs have automatic volume controle. It works well in Skype to level out those changes. Bob On 1/15/2013 5:45 PM, jason wrote: Hi, I was wondering how do you get the microphone to be consistent when setting the mic volume.

Re: please recommend good wireless headphones
I have 2 recommendations I use a plantronics audio 995 series you plug the dongle into the USB port and then you turn the headset on and it's ready to go howeve wait a fewminutes when you first plug it so the computer can recognize it. The only complaint I have about those headsets when the battery dies you can talk or use the headset when charging it, this headset also has a microphone so you can use it for skype the cost was $100. The second headset I recommend is the Lodgatech h800 they cost $120 and they also have a microphone in the headset however you can also use it as a blue tooth headset for youe cellular phone, and it also has a dongle with it hope this helps you and you can talk while the head is charging.

Re: YouTube
Hello, Here are a couple of ideas, I hope one of them works for you. If you are using jaws or window-eyes, you can find the graphic labeled seek slider, arrow down to the next control. this is the mute button. If your vid is playing, the seek slider will increase to 100 percent over time. If muted, pressing enter on the mute button will toggle between unmuted and muted. There is a utility called Flash Mute, designed to mute flash on browsers. The article speaks about use with window-eyes, but the info is applicable to any screen reader. The app sits in the system tray and allows users to mute/unmute with a hotkey, control-alt-M. This is an alternative if you don't have jaws/window-eyes, or if you get sites that start playing audio as soon as you load them. The site is: http://www.gwmicro.com/blog/index.php/all/?title=take_control_of_flash_with_flash_mutemore=1c=1tb=1pb=1 With this intermittent working/not working symptom, and the privacy settings alert, it sounds like you may be having troubles with an add-on, maybe Google toolbar? Google comes to mind because they are currently updating their privacy policy. Find the option which allows you to manage your add-ons on the tools menu, any browser, and see what you have installed. You can disable anything you don't use. I usually disable all the toolbars, Google toolbar, aol toolbar, winamp toolbar, you get the point. I hope this info helps you with the problem, silent movies are no fun.. - Jason Custer, The VI Trainer http://www.VITrainer.com -Original Message- From: Dujari, Prateek Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2012 3:46 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: RE: YouTube Don't follow your logic doing the stuff with the browsing history and all.

Finally I found that flash had been muted on my computer. There was an icon on the system tray that said 'flash mute'. And it was checked. I had to get sighted assistance to even tell me the check box on this icon was checked and she unchecked it for me. that immediately solved the problem. So first, pl check if you can't hear flash videos only on youtube or also at any other website. This will help u isolate the problem to either just youtube flash or not. Next look around on the system tray our via the 'add/remove programs' list ( I use Windows 7) to spot anything that suggests flash mute and uncheck that box.

Re: Altec Lansing Expressionist Ultra Speakers
Oh ok fair enough I just wanted to know thanks for replying back to me on this topic because I love speakers that you can hear all sound from especially surround sound, enough that you can feel the vibration of the music and just hear the beautiful sound.

I have 2 model of altec Lansing speaker system here both of which I like very much. I have the Expressionist Plus which I mentioned about a month ago and the Expressionist Ultra which I've been talking about over the last week or so. The Expressionist ultra speakers are one of the very few sets of speaker system for computer systems where the sound is All there, the mid-range, the treble and certainly the bass and it appears that no materr what volume you run this system at there's no distortion so its obvious that the 5 digital amps in the system are doing their job smile. One thing that does annoy me about this system and its a very slight annoyance is the subwoofer, its huge! standing 15 inches high, looks more like a pollished wooden PC tower case so if big sub-woofers annoy you then don't bother with this system. Yep, Creative and other company's have offerings which are very well reviewed but it will be up to other list members to comment on these as I don't have experience with them.

This button has another default, if held down for 3 seconds the speakers are reset to their default volume, bass and treble settings. Now their could be more options and settings I don't know about, I mentioned that the manual isn't the readable type so everything I've mentioned here I've found out by playing around with the system.

I do need to get someone sighted here because I basically know where the buttons are to change from treble to base to mids but not exactly sure the difference between the mid and the base. I can only tell two grooves so it looks like only two buttons to me. Also does anyone have a list of exactly what comes with it? I am paranoid. There is a little piece that looks like a splitter for input but it is odd that it doesn't connect to a male piece. Do you need an extra corde like the one that goes from the control to the pc to go from the splitter to the controller?

Pairing Mono Bluetooth Audio Device With Ipod Touch
Greetings, I'm seeking information about Bluetooth audio devices for use with a generation 4 Ipod Touch running IOS 5.1. I would like to run a Bluetooth ear piece strictly for the purposes of being able to hear voiceover through the device for reviewing notes and additional information. To be more specific, I'm not looking for a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones but rather a single mono headphone like one would use with a Bluetooth enabled phone. My research indicates this may work with a mono Bluetooth audio device with A2DP support however, I've yet to confirm these findings. I'd be grateful to know if anyone has had success pairing such a device for these purposes. Further, if someone has done this, I'd also like to know the make and model of the Bluetooth device that was used. Thank's in advance for considering my post. I welcome any information either on list or off. Jay jayr...@verizon.net To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Ion Easy converter. and the video is made by a company called Ion. it is windows 7 and windows vista and xp supported for drivers. very easy to install. for a while I was wanting my sighted partner to click on the buttons, convert etc. but recently was playing with it and found there are short cuts that work but not in the normal way example. to get to the convert button that takes you on to the video monitor so you can preview what you want to record before recording as you can watch it in live play before recording as well. to get to the convert button, would be difficult without the short cuts as the hole interface isn't blind friendly. so to get to the convert button you have to do the following. Alt+C. this puts you on the convert button, then you have to press enter. this takes you in to the video monitor screan. as previously said. now just put your video in and press play on the video. now your screan behaves like a normal tv. but in a small box whilst streaming through the program. when you want to record anything playing just find the place on the tape. then press spacebar. now your in the title box. delete what's in the box, normally it says, title here. now type what you want to record the name for it. now it is easier. when your ready to record just press. Alt+R. followed by enter. now this starts recording. to stop recordingv.press. alt+S. it will ask you to conferm that you want to stop recording. now press Alt+Y. then enter. now it is saved. and the default place it saves is, my video's and when you open it you can use any program that plays video. I think off the top of my head it can save as AVI or MPG. don't try and play MPG in windows media player as windows media player won't do it. winamp loves these types of files. don't have a moddle number to hand at the moment but they only do one type that does it - Original Message - From: Victoria Vaughan vrvaug...@mailzone.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 7:37 PM Subject: Re: Converting vhs to dvd Hi John, My name is Vicky.

Re: Do Listers Really Use Klango 3X
Hey I use klango on my computers both the netbook and desktop and I find it easy to use you juat have to hit your arrows keys alt to open menus and enter to launch them. The features in klango are self explanatory for example when you just sitting in the program I hit the alt key and it brings options such as klango media programs files setting etc so I hit enter on one of those lets say let hit enter on klango then options pop up such as messages, blogs, contacts, or klango points etc then you choose one of those by moving your left and right arrows keys it's just like a tree view and menus and submenus anyway let choose messages hit enter on that then you going to have option such as received sent etc you can hit right arrow for sent or left arrow for received and then hit enter on it. Then you can up and down arrow threw the messages and hit enter on them to reply to messages you can hit the tab key to navigate threw those options. if you just want to send them a private messages then you have to hit escape to get out of received messages hit alt key go to the option klango then arrow to contacts hit enter on them use up and down arrows to navigate threw your contacts you get my idea now just play around with it and for your speech problem just hit your alt key arrow to you here and then hit enter and it will bring up more options on what you want to do one of those option is sending a private message. You get my idea now. for your speech problem just hit alt key then you arrow to settings then you enter on speech synthesis and then you can set your voice there you have to find englesh Then after when you choose speech synthesis you hae to choose what voice you want to change the main voice is the voice what you here threw out the program the content voice is the voice what reads your forms messages and other items to you. Anyway after you choose what voice you want to change then choose a synthesizer you have to choose English US and then you choose a voice and ager you do that then just hit enter ok then everything should be set hope this helps you take care now and have a good day. a On 5/14/2010 10:09 PM, Max G.

It works during a call or at the moment when someone is calling. * SAPI5 now works better with SkypeTalking. One of the things that you will notice is that SAPI5 speech is now interrupted when releasing another SkypeTalking command, so for example when reading messages you no longer have to wait one message to be spoken in order to hear the another one. * Echoing of SkypeTalking keystrokes that becomes annoying with screen reader such as JAWS has been prevented, since JAWS is echoing all of the keystrokes that are not assigned to it's scripts unless it's keyboard echo is set to None. * Better displaying of language names in Settings Dialog/Language ComboBox.

Can you select folders within iPod to play instead of going through a library? That's the feature I like best about rockbox.

The Ipod Forth Generation nano uses voice tags whereas Rockbox uses TTS. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages, for instance you get the title, artist and so on of a particular song announced on your Ipod Forth Generation word by word - example: Dean Martin - Everybody Loves Somebody Sometimes whereas this information is spelt out letter by letter. You also have more options over what kind of speech you want, this is set from the computer you're connecting the Ipod with whether that be a Mac or Windows system, with Rockbox I found it very difficult to find a good speech engine to my liking, I did find one in the end though others were just too fast for my liking. The only problem I've struck with the Ipod Forth Generation Nano is that some of its applications such as time/date alarm and the like are completely unusable but again, that's what you expect to happen if you're using voice tags, the menus all speak however. We're up to the Ipod Fifth generation now and that unit has Voiceover built-in to it so in other words, the Ipod Nano Fifth Generation has a Built-in Screen Reader so its completely customisable. I don't know even if you can buy an Ipod Nano Forth Generation now can you? I have one here and I wouldn't give it up for quits I can tell you, well not at least until I get my Iphone next week - if they haven't sold out in the meantime smile -' On 28/11/2009, at 4:50 AM, Jason Boston wrote: Has anyone had any experience with the talking menus in the 4th generation iPod nanos?

Here's a summary of the accessibility features and functions found on the new Ipod Touch as taken from the Apple Web Site. Vision iPod touch includes a screen reader and other innovative accessibility features that make it easier to use for those with impaired vision. VoiceOver The same VoiceOver screen reader made popular on the Mac and the iPhone is now a standard feature on iPod touch (3rd generation). It's the world's first gesture-based screen reader, enabling you to enjoy the fun and simplicity of iPod touch even if you can't see the screen. What makes VoiceOver on iPod touch remarkable is that you control it using simple gestures that let you physically interact with items on the screen. It's easy to learn and fun to use. Instead of memorizing hundreds of keyboard commands or endlessly pressing tiny arrow keys to find what you're looking for, with VoiceOver you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then gesture with a double-tap, drag, or flick. VoiceOver delivers an experience unlike any screen reader you've used before. Traditional screen readers describe individual elements on the screen, but struggle to communicate where each element is located or provide information about adjoining objects. This contextual information is very important but typically filtered out by other screen readers. For example, off-screen models used by traditional screen readers to represent applications and web pages intentionally strip away contextual information and describe web pages as a list or menu of items. But with VoiceOver on iPod touch, you'll experience something entirely new. Because VoiceOver works with the touchscreen, you interact directly with objects on the screen and can understand their location and context. So, when you touch the upper-left corner of the screen, you'll hear what's in the upper-left corner of a web page, and as you drag your finger around the screen, you'll learn what's nearby, providing an amazing new sense of context and relationships between the items you hear. For many, VoiceOver on iPod touch will provide, perhaps for the first time, a true sense of not only how things appear on the screen, but also descriptions of what they are. You'll hear descriptions of every item, including status information such as battery level, Wi-Fi signal levels, and time of day. iPod touch even lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait, and when the screen is locked or unlocked. The speaking rate is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that best suits your listening ability. VoiceOver uses distinctive sound effects to alert you when an application opens, when the screen is updated, when a message dialog appears, and more. And when VoiceOver is talking, the volume of background sounds and music is automatically lowered, ducking under the voice, so you can clearly hear what VoiceOver is telling you. It Speaks Your Language VoiceOver includes built-in voices that speak over 21 languages including Bahasa Indonesian, Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), Dutch, English (U.S.), English (UK), English (Australian), Finnish, French (Canada), French (France), German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Thai, and Turkish. Getting Started VoiceOver is built into iPod touch (3rd generation). There's nothing extra to purchase or install. All you need is iPod touch, iTunes 9

Getting Started VoiceOver is built into iPod touch (3rd generation). There's nothing extra to purchase or install. All you need is iPod touch, iTunes 9 or later, and a Mac or PC. You can activate your iPod touch and enable VoiceOver without sighted assistance using iTunes with a compatible screen reader like VoiceOver (included in Mac OS X) or GW-Micro Window- Eyes for Windows XP and Windows Vista (sold separately). When you activate iPod touch using iTunes, you can enable VoiceOver to start using it right away. Or a sighted user can enable VoiceOver for you directly on iPod touch using the Accessibility menu in the Settings application. How It Works With VoiceOver enabled, you'll use a different but simple set of gestures to control iPod touch. For example, instead of tapping to activate a button, tap the button to hear a description of it, double- tap to activate it, and swipe up or down to adjust a slider.

I still have the component based stereo system I built when I was younger, which currently includes a receiver, DVD player and DVR. I retired my turntable and VCR a while ago. I would not be surprised if such a system, with high quality components, could produce better sound than you'd get off of a PC or portable media player. I guess I'm wondering a couple of things. Is this true that you can get better sound quality out of a high fidelity system than you can from a PC or portable media player? If so, how would you go about building such a system today? Would you do what I did years ago and start assembling your components? Could I get him a nice turntable that he could hook up to his PC for now and then include in a component based stereo system down the road? Thanks for any advice or pointers people could provide me.

It has 4 audio jacks 2 on each end of the card, the ones I've paid the most attention to are the microphone, and the headphone jack, which are on the same end. This card also sports 2 stereo mics, a green LED light that blinks when audio is present, and stays solid when none is playing. So if you have some usable sight this might take a bit of getting used to. I have a set of speakers hooked up to the card which handles my music and windows sounds, and I have Window-eyes 7.01 routed to my laptop's internal Sigmatel card. So I now have 2 sets of speakers instead of one.This allows me to have more control over the volume of each one. I have 2 volume controls to use now, but if I want to hear the speech over the music more, it's easier for me, because I can keep the music at the same level now. As far as instalation goes, I had another friend of mine helping me, and we learned a somewhat valuable lesson that I'm sure most people probably know either through just being technically savvy, or having the same experience we had. If you're going to install this card, be sure to hook the card *directly* into your laptop or desktop's USB ports, do not use a USB hub. If you do, the driver's won't install properly, because the card can't draw enough power. The card is recognized, but not to the same point as it would be via a regular straight USB connection. So make sure you have a free USB port handy. To install it, we first inserted the cd that came with the card. If you're using window-eyes, you'll have to use your mouse pointer, numpad plus pressed twice, and then you use your numpad 2 and 8 keys to arrow down to where it says setup. At that point, press your left mouse button and the software will install. Then, when prompted, please insert the cable into the card, and the other end into the USB port. You may lose speech after pressing yes at this point, but this can be fixed. It's a good bet that the card is now active, so what you'll need to do is plug a pare of headphones or speakers into the headphone jack. If you hear speech, you're good to go. The headphone jack is located on the top right handside of the card, you'll feel a circular sort of socket or plug with ridges, and just to the right of that, that's your headphone jack. The jack to the left of that one is your microphone jack. When you plug a headset mic or any other mic into that jack, the stereo mics on the card itself are muted, so for the least confusing results, I would say you might want to have something plugged into that jack all the time. Initially, the software tried to install the necessary driver for the card to function properly, but I had to reboot a couple of times to get the process to work properly. Hey, I'm new to this and it was a learning experience. So the driver installed and all, at this point, seems to be working well. As for the SRM control pannel program, it is definitely not very speech friendly, not without a lot of mousing around. and even then, some of the screens look mighty confusing. So the best way to customize things is to probably stick to using the regular Windows volume control. That will allow ou to set things how you want them. Overall, I'm very pleased with the card! The install was a bit touch and go because, as I said we weren't sure why things weren't working but after I remembered that I had been using a hub, and I plugged the card directly into my laptop USB port, that's when things vastly improoved. Hope this helps anyone looking to buy a card like this. Hopefully it'll help you avoid any pitfalls along the way and you'll have your new card up and running in ono time!

Yes I have used KBPiano for a few years. Now I can't comment on how well it will work with Jaws but I use it just fine with win-eyes. First make sure you are in the main window of the program. There is a music creator window but that window is not speech friendly so you want to be in the untitled window. Lets now type control-p which will put the program in practice mode. Press notes on the bottom of the keyboard and see if you hear sound. Press escape to cancel this window. If no sound is heard lets press The letter p and that will bring up a patch list where you select the instruments you'd like.

So since this is the new standard conversions, is the mp3 file still going to be used widely for a file extension, or is it going to go away. what does the 3gp stand for?

First, I consider phrases like world wide standard to be more of a marketing statement than anything else. Next, MP3 has been superseded by several superior specifications in the past, and it's still around, so I don't expect it to go away any time soon. The 3G in 3GP seems like it would stand for 3rd Generation as in the 3G high speed mobile network. I'm guessing 3GP stands for 3rd Generation Partnership Project. Quicktime runs on Windows and the conversion utilities I mentioned run on Windows, so I don't think it's a Mac only specification. Furthermore, it was intended for mobile devices. Finally, I can't speak to the sound quality, but since it's intended for mobile devices and to be transmitted over 3G networks, I'm guessing there's some trade off between size and sound quality. jason wrote: So since this is the new standard conversions, is the mp3 file still going to be used widely for a file extension, or is it going to go away. what does the 3gp stand for?
