This is exactly what I was expecting as well: volume for the tts being completely independent from the main volume. Ideally, I would set the tts volume pretty low since I almost never need it, and then have a higher volume for the audio files I was playing. I do understand about not wanting to give the speakers more output than they can handle, so maybe the new max volume is the best they can give us. Who knows? Anyway, I intend to enjoy the new firmware because apart from the dip in volume, it seems to be perfect for me so far. Merry Christmas everybody!

I would love to see and am quite quite surprised to not see that the ability to control/set the volume of the TTS separately has not been implemented within this firmware update. I was entirely expecting/hoping that the volume control for the TTS would be a entirely separate ordeal all together, very very similar to most of our, if not all of our lovely screen reader volume control abilities to change and set them as we see fit. Having it not be effected at all by the volume control for our media one bit. You know? So we can set up the volume level of the TTS within the global options under voice settings and whatever we then set the volume level at in here, it simply stays, just as does the rate, pitch and whatever selection of voice we see fit does. Other than that though, I am quite happy with the update, great job! And, wishing each and every single one of you, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Christ in Christmas!

I would also love to see a separate volume setting for the TTS. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Corey Cook" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; "'Missy Hoppe'" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 21, 2009 8:24 PM Subject: Re: [GW-Booksense] BookSense 2.0 changes how about two max volumes? one for headphones and one for the internal speaker?
