This simple, new program was recently announced in IRTI's email newsletter called News Clips. I don't know anything more about it except the exerpt I have included here. Sounds like it could be useful in a number of situations. Jeff ---------
What Happened to my audio! Do you ever find after someone else had been using your PC that changes in your audio settings mysteriously occurred or is completely shutdown rendering your screen reader useless? Have you ever installed or used unfamiliar software and magically your PC systems audio output is disabled? We can tell you that IRTI tech support hears about this scenario so often it has prompted us to write a New Talking Utility we referred to as Audio SafeGuard. Audio SafeGuard is a simple self voicing control that enables you to adjust your PC's default audio settings providing accessible control for Volume level and Mute State for your Master Volume, WAV audio output, CD Player, SW Synth, Microphone and Line input devices. The next time Audio SafeGuard is launched, it compares the current default PC audio settings to the stored preference file and automatically resets all audio parameters back to your preferred audio settings. Audio SafeGuard can be configured to run automatically when your computer starts up or you can launch the application manually with a hot-key. In either case, your preferred audio settings are automatically restored without the need to ask for sighted assistance. If set to run at start up, Audio SafeGuard temporarily loads, runs a sound check, then automatically exits operation freeing its memory space for other applications. IRTI's Talking Utility - Audio SafeGuard is now included on IRTI Turnkey Computer systems. You may also download a 30-day trial version from IRTI's web site. If you find this to be a useful utility, and we think you will, the 30 day trial version may be purchased and activated for $9. http://www.irti.net Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
