[all-audio] A couple of Plantronics headset issues
Hi all, Can anyone help with the following. My computer has 1 in-built soundcard and 1 additional soundcard. The former is used for Jaws and Windows sounds, the latter as a device for recording via the line-in. There are occasions when I like to use my wireless Plantronics headphones to listen to my PC. I plug these in via a Bluetooth USB dongle and the sound automatically comes through. However, I am experiencing 2 problems. 1. If I go to the recording tab-sheet of the sounds dialogue Jaws is no longer heard through the headphones. This only happens in that particular tab-sheet. 2. When the headphones are connected I can't get the sound from the line-in to be heard through them. Normally I'd do this via the line-in properties, listen to this device and have it play via the default sound card. I've also tried selecting the Plantronics headphones, but again no sound. I am using Windows10 and am very new to it as this is a new PC. This used to work with Windows7 and I'm hoping there's a setting somewhere that I can adjust. Thanks for any help.

Re: [all-audio] digital audio recorders: looking for a specific type
One of the most interesting things I've ever done with the LS-100 was to set it up as a sound device for my Mac, no reason why it won't work on Windows. That's a nice and easy way to add some flexibility to your recording system on your computer if you're looking for some stand-out microphones - built-in as part of the recorder or your choice of external microphones -, XLR inputs of course, line-in etc. -Original Message- From: all-audio@groups.io On Behalf Of Hamit Campos Sent: Tuesday, 3 September 2019 9:48 AM To: all-audio@groups.io Subject: Re: [all-audio] digital audio recorders: looking for a specific type Yeah after his traffic file that's exactly what Neal did. Breathe into that side and yeah you hear wind like if it were going into omni mics. I almost got a P4 for the FLAC recording and playback. But I wanted XLRs and phantum. lol But how doews it do with holding your place. If I have a beef with the 14 it's with the MP3 playback. That it rewinds and fast forwards too far and that if you shut it down it won't hold your place. I know it's not a player like the DMs were especially those that had the podcast folder.

I got it because it's a 6 channal recorder and it has a brighter sound than the LS 100. I only meantioned teh 100 because you asked for a "blind friendly" recorder. Sad ain't it? That there's nothing that's PTR2 accessible but with XLRs phantum and that is studio grade.

Have you had this lac of audio problem with cirtain USB ports yet?

Re: [all-audio] A couple of Plantronics headset issues
I've just tried a different USB port and it works as I would expect. Sound continues when in the recording tab-sheet and when I select the option to play the feed from the line-in that works as well. I can't understand the difference between this USB and the other one. Both are on the front of the tower.

Re: [all-audio] A couple of Plantronics headset issues
Yeah I don't get that either. In the case of the H6 I assume it has something against those powered USB ports. I don't know though some of these things are so picky about what port you hook them into. even my bose companion 5 speakers had a beef with 1 port.

[all-audio] Reccomendations for Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds
Sent from my iPhoneHi all! My trusty wired apple earpods have finally given up the ghost and I'm now quite keen to enter the world of nifty little wireless earbuds with their conpenient charging cases! However, I'm loathed to throw money at Apple if similar or better functionality could be obtained elsewhere at a lower price! So, have any of you had any good, or bad, experiences with wireless bluetooth earbuds from other manufacturers? I intend using these primarily for audiobooks and a bit of music on my commute, so my priorities for function are: Low latency for effective use with Voiceover or Talkback Reasonable battery life, and prefferably a charging case Audio quality need not be suberb, as long as it doesn't sound like something talking out of a toilet bowl the way my new knock-off earpods are sounding right now! :) I know for example, that Anker make the Liberty range of wireless earbuds. Has anybody checked them out? Looking forward to hearing from you! All best, Laurent -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Re: [all-audio] Reccomendations for Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds
Hey Laurent, Well I probably would recommend you to get the quite new Airpods if latency is a big issue. If sound is more important I'd either go with some Bose Soundsports free or the Samsung EarBuds. I really love these. The Samsungs are small. They sound really good, and they has a sweet metal carieing case. The price is right too for the good quality.

Re: [all-audio] digital audio recorders: looking for a specific type
Well, I did consider the lsp4 but it seems like it sound almost like the dm models, and not as pro as the 14 and others, so I guess zoom is the way to go. By the way if anyone have more h1n tips I would appreciate. If you want a more accessible way to record h6 sound, the u44 does a great job. It have the same preamps as the h6, and is compatible with the capsuls of the h6, so you can snap them on the side of the u44, and ajust input volume, and output volume of the interface and connect a line in recorder to it, and you can power the u44 with 2 dubble A batteries, and take it outside and record. Only thing that on batteries fantum power don't seem to work, not sure if that is normal, but that is where the capsuls just will shine.

Hi Brian! Thanks for your thoughts. About the Samsung earbuds: How do they charge and what is their battery life? Also, would they work well with an iPhone? I see they have an ambient mode, which sounds potentially useful. Any thoughts on using this mode as a blind person and how it affects perception of the environment, e.g. directionality of hearing?

Hi, Yes they work fine with an iPhone. 5 hours then they need to be put back into the case for recharging. I'm not sure, but I think it's 13 hours in all. And this new generation even can be charged wirelessly.

Re: [all-audio] Reccomendations for Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds
The latest Earbuds from Sony memorably named the SONY WF-1000XM3 BLUETOOTH NOISE CANCELLING TRUE WIRELESS EARPHONES are getting excellent recommendations for their exceptional audio quality and they also include great noise cancelation features. Call quality is also said to be very good. Advertising suggests that latency is also low. Bose are supposedly nearly ready to release a new set of true wireless earbuds, but audio quality of earlier models is not stunning. Latency can also be a bit of an issue. AirPods are particularly great for convenience of quickly placing and removing from your ears, but are better for spoken word than serious music listening. They are great if you like to keep connected with the outside world while wearing them, but are not much use in noisy locations or on transport. For general iPhone access, books and podcasts and such I use my AirPods more than any other earphone or speaker option.

Re: [all-audio] digital audio recorders: looking for a specific type
The LS-P4 performs far better when recording than do the older DM models, no comparison actually. As I said in a previous message, playback on the internal speaker is a little compressed but to me that’s a minor irritation as that problem can be easily fixed by listening through headphones or streaming to a Bluetooth device, take your pick. The LS-P4’s “Auto” Recording Level arrangement is superb as the recorder uses a “Look Ahead Buffer” rather than an AGC so n=no need for any “Smart Level” function as found on the LS-14. The LS-P4 does have a downside, you can’t record to the FLAC format whilst you have a Bluetooth device connected but at least you can record to Wave at 96KHZ/24 bit should you want to. Again this recorder may not be any good to you as it doesn’t have XLR inputs. > On 4 Sep 2019, at 3:57 am, Aidan wrote: > > Well, I did consider the lsp4 but it seems like it sound almost like > the dm models, and not as pro as the 14 and others, so I guess zoom is > the way to go.

Re: [all-audio] Reccomendations for Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds
Thanks tim! The apple airpods sound compelling for the kind of use case that I have in mind. Mainly listening to audiobooks and podcasts on my commute, and maintaining some awareness of my environment. I am nevertheless very curious about some of the unbranded options, tons of which are available on Amazon new paragraph has anybody tried any of these?
