It also depend what you want to do and if you going to record alot and
so on. Most high quality cards does have drivers to instal.

 try looking at the

 Should be able to find it with google easily.
 They are available (usb DACs) at all price levels though.  The Audioquest is
 one of the cheaper ones at about $250.  Don't cheap outon them much more
 than that or you may as well stick with your sound card.

 Hi folks.  Just acquired a new high spec computer, I say high spec but I

 using a USB DAC.  I've never used one of these things before and I was
 wondering; Have any of you on this list used one and what was your
 impression?  Also, what DAC would you recommend (I'm thinking here of high
 end and not budget) and are these things plug and play or is there any
 software to be installed? Opinions and suggestions please!  Walter.

You can look inside the help files, there will be a link to the jaws manual.

 Not so.  Audacity is very screen-reader friendly with many keyboard

 it applies to other screen-readers also.  I'm sure someone on this list

 than Goldwave, but it ismuch more powerful with a much better noise
 reduction function.

 Hi,

 I do not use Audacity, but Goldwave.  I have a friend who does not have
 much money so am looking into Audacity for him.

 From a study of what seems to me to be a difficult manual, it looks as
 though editing manipulations must be carried out by drag and drop.  If
 that's so, how can a blind user work with this program?

 Is there a decent tutorial which can take me through a project and showing
 me step by step how to make the software work?

 I thank you for your help.

Re: Small Jambox almost speechless

2013-01-20 Thread Robert Logue

This is a coincidence
I just got my  Jambox.  I almost love it.

Only 1 big disappointment.  Liveaudio supposedly only works with 
bluetooth and not auxiliary. I don't have a bluetooth device to try it 
on and don't have anyone handy to try with.


Also, am having real problems navigating the mytalk sight.  How do you 
initiate an app installation?  How do I know if my Jambox was actually 
updated?


Thanks.

Hope you can get yours working right Donald.

I really enjoy using my small Jambox.  Recently, I inadvertently let
the battery completely discharge.  Now it won't give the usual turn-on
message jambox ready.  I did get it to say jambox is in pairing
mode.  Once I got it to say the battery status.  What is the
likelihood that reinstalling the software from the web site will
resolve this issue?  It is no longer under warranty.  Fortunately, it
plays both through blue tooth and via the stereo jack just fine.

RE: Latency with Microphones and Soundblaster Audigy Soundcard

2013-01-20 Thread Joe P

Samuel hello,

Some creative cards do, The rest don't.
It'll likely as not cost you more,it's considered Higher end I guess.
You can find out from the data sheets on the web site, or your local 
dealer can llook it up for you.  Stereo mix is but one term to name 
the function for recording streamed audio.



Good luck,

Joe

getting a new soundcard, as I've had the Audigy for about 7 years.  Although
I wonder if anyone knows whether the latest creative cards allow recording
in What you Hear or stereo mix.  Thank you.

Wel, that will depend on each card, you should check the card spex
before you get it. I suggest that since you just need it for general
use. That you must rather buy one of those wich you build in the back
of the pc wich is not atached to the motherboard. That will help alot.
Not only sound wise, but also for driver related stuff. Real tech is
good. Try them. But if you want to buy another nun motherboard card,
then you have wider options.

 I think you need to be monitoring the microphone input not the main

 If you are already doing this, we need to look further.

Look on the right side of the box. 
There is a port for an audio jack. 
As a matter of fact, an audio cable is supplied along with the USB cable. 
You can use the jambox Bluetooth or with an auxiliary cable.

I know I can use the 3.5 input but it only works in plane stereo.  The 
Liveaudio enhancement apearently will only work with bluetooth 
devices.  I have been listening to my mp3 player through the Jambox with 
the aux input you mentioned.  I just don't know if I can get the audio
