Hey Rod,
Sorry but I'm not aware of anything that will do what you're looking
for. A normalizer is the trick. But I assume your cable box output is
just looping through your soundcard and going right back out the output.
There are all kinds of limiter/compressor/expander/normalizer boxes out
there. But I'm only familiar with pro gear and wouldn't have a clue
where to look for what you want. Perhaps a hi-fi shop or one of the
monster stores that sell computers and home entertainment gear.
Finally, you say you want to control the maximum volume output. This is
the job of a limiter. But I'm guessing what you really want is a
normalizer so that everything is about the same average (RMS) level. I'd
probably start by asking Uncle Google. As I said, I assume your in and
out is just looping through your soundcard rather than playing through
any kind of media player. So unless there's some way of inserting a
program into that loop finding an external hardware solution would be
your only option.
Good luck,
Tom

Hi Tom, and perhaps others might have some insight as well,
Have you heard of any kind of simple software or hardware solution to
controlg the maximum output volume of the sound coming from a Windows
speaker jack.
I have my cable TV box plugged into my PC line-in jack, and I play music
with often very different track volumes.
I do have a volume normalizer Plug-in for Winamp, but this doesn't control
other volumes which may come out of the PC speaker.
Ideally, it would be great to be able to set a certain volume level and know
for certain that my PC would never produce any sound louder than what I had
set.
Thanks,
Rod

Subject: Re: sound forge
I've been using Sound forge since version 7 and have heard many people say
the same about accessibility: it got worse after 8. But I ran 9, 10, and now
11 Pro and to be honest I never knew what they were talking about. The only
thing that is truly not accessible are all the new Izotope plug-ins because
they're all big pretty pictures. Although they have good presets and at
least the wet/dry mix can be controlled. And I'm pretty sure they could be
scripted. The only problem is it would require a lot of sighted help to get
the layout of the images in order to write scalable algorithms to work with
different resolutions.
I started scripting it years ago. but unfortunately I made the fatal mistake
of using MSAA, which eventually turned out to be a point of no return
disaster. I should have known better. I've never gotten back to it because I
know all the interfaces inside out and backwards. So it's made me a whiz
with the mouse.
If anyone has a million bucks to donate to the cause I'll make it sing for
you. (grin)
Regards,
Tom

Sound forge 8 is still the most accessible, though the later versions
can be used.
