Re: Game Day Audio in Windows Media Player - not in browser ...
Hello everyone, I'm catching this thread in the middle so I haven't read all of the messages concerning Game Day Audio not playing for some users. I had a similar problem last season, audio not playing, and here is what I did to resolve the issue. I removed Windows Media player, rebooted my computer, and performed a completely new installation of Media player 10. I think something broke dealing with Active X or Windows Media player, I couldn't access game day audio with Firefox or Internet explorer, this happened after it had worked for several months with no audio problems and then suddenly stopped working. After reinstalling Media Player, I rebooted my machine and then went to www.mlb.com/mediacenter. Since I am using JAWS, I hit the letter t to read the various tables on thethe media center web page, the one I wanted was shown with the day's games. I did, however, experience annoyance in attempting to view archived games from the menu on the web site, according to the mlb web site support frequently asked questions, this menu to select the archive was in java and I couldn't find a way to access it. Maybe they have fixed this problem for this season, but I haven't tried to access it. I would suggest reinstalling Media player, rebooting, and installing it again and rebooting, perhaps that will fix the problems people are having. Please note that I had no other problems with any other audio I wanted to listen to when this problem occurred, only with the Game Day Audio. I hope this helps those who are annoyed and frustrated.

Re: windows media connect 2
Hi Leslie, If you're talking about trying to fix Game day audio, I uninstalled all of windows media player entirely. If you take this route, you might want to back up any libraries you might be using if you don't want to have to set them up manually again. Since I generally use Real Player, I didn't have to worry about this. I believe the game day audio player is an embedded version of Windows Media player and that it may also use flash player as well somehow. If your question wasn't about game day audio, then I apologize.

Re: windows media connect 2
Hi Leslie, I went to the Microsoft web site and used the main downloads page. I believe the web address is www.microsoft.com/downloads. You can browse through categories or type in a search for the program you want to download. You could also install media player from your windows xp CD, but that version is most likely older than the one on the Microsoft web site. Since all of those programs you mentioned, Media Player Run time and Windows Media Player Connect appear to be part of Windows media player, if I'm not mistaken, when you remove everything and reinstall media player 11, you should get all of those back. You also might want to check the system requirements as listed in the mlb.com support page. There are a few knowledge base articles and frequently asked questions that deal with audio problems and no audio, that's where I found the suggestion to uninstall windows media player in the first place. I took this action after trying a bunch of other things, and uninstalling is what fixed it for me. I of course can't promise that this will work for everyone else, but I was thoroughly annoyed with game day audio at the time and after trying everything else, that is what worked for me. leslie ferrell wrote: > No need to apologize, Beth!

Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Hello everyone, Please be forewarned, I'm a pc tech by training but I'm not an audio expert, so please be gentle with me because I'm in dire need of your expert assistance. I am supposed to start a job this week where I need to record and then listen to tech support calls from agents taking live calls for an internet provider. My job is to split these calls into separate files and save them. My boss is doing this visually by looking at the wave forms. I'm familiar with the concept of wave forms, and I can read the negative, 0 numbers, and the positive numbers with the JAWS cursor. Unfortunately, using Cool Edit and JAWS 8.0, the software they are using, I can't seem to tell where one call begins and where the that call ends and then where the next call begins. I'm supposed to record the calls, separate them, save each one into a separate file, rate it in terms of quality, and send my feedback to the powers that be. Because I couldn't find the Cool Edit scripts, I downloaded Gold wave 5.22 and the new JAWS scripts. Gold wave looks more promising, I read the manual and it appears that I should be able to do what I need to do, but it is confusing because when I receive my file of calls, I don't know ahead of time how long the calls are and where the silences are so that I can save each call as a different file. Thanks for your patience, folks. My questions are these: Can I do this with Cool Edit, that is what my colleagues are using? Or should I use something else like Gold wave, Audacity, or Sound Forge? There are other people with disabilities at the job site, but I'm the only blind person. I will try to use what works best if it isn't Cool Edit, but I'll have to convince my boss that this would better. If you'd rather not clutter up the list, please feel free to email me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions!

Splitting Audio Files, Continuing Endeavors
Hello everyone and thank you all so much for your responses!! From what I've read publicly here and from those who have written to me privately, it seems like the best bets are either Gold Wave 5.2 and Studio Recorder. I have a sample file to play with given to me by my prospective employer. It is a wav file, about 11 minutes long and containing I believe 3 or four different calls. When someone from the company worked with me last night, he told me that the editing is done by visually editing the wave forms, obviously, that's not going to work for me. Unfortunately, due to various difficulties, it would probably be easier and cheaper for me to use Gold Wave simply due to the cost, $50 compared with $200 for ?Studio Recorder. I think the company is going to try and make me use Cool Edit unless I can show them that another program is better. Unfortunately, this is a part time job and it doesn't pay all that well compared to a full time job, so I'm looking for something that will work, not cost huge amounts of money, but yet get the job done until I either finish school or find a higher paying job. If anyone is willing to take me through how to process these calls from one file into separate files for later processing and saving with Gold Wave or other program over the phone, I'll be happy to call you as I have Vonage and flat rate long distance.

RE: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Hello Curtis and all, The wav file I have here as a sample is about 11 minutes long. I am told that I must set up the computer to record several hours of calls, then separate them into files where one call is saved as one file. I played with Gold Wave a bit yesterday. I could arrow through the Queues that appeared, but all I heard were numbers and what appeared to be times elapsed, but I couldn't tell whether these were the actual call or the silences between them. Thanks for your help.

It is quite a unique ability, better than Sound Forge which is not as speech friendly for that option. I don't know about Cool Edit in that regard.

RE: Splitting Files with Cool Edit or Other Audio Program, Urgent, Job Related
Hello Larry and all, I have Gold Wave 5.22 and the latest JAWS scripts and JAWS 8.0 on my machine using Windows XP. As I said earlier, sorry for repeating myself, the sample wav file I have is 11 minutes long. I figured out in Gold Wave that it is possible to do some auto queuing and to view the queues, but since I'm not sure what I'm doing, I wasn't sure if what I was hearing were the actual calls or the silences between them. I also have a fun program to try to make work that uses JAVA and where Java Access Bridge seems to make no difference, so I'm having so much fun with this, you wouldn't believe it. Thanks again for your help!

I have most of the popular sound editors onboard and when it comes to splitting files, I would recommend GoldWave. In my own work, I use it for that purpose every day. Not only is it easy to split files, but the cost is only around $50, which should make it easier to sell your employer on the purchase. The entire program is very easy to use with a screen reader and, as has been noted here, scripts are available for Jaws users. It will definitely do what you need it to do quickly and efficiently.

Gold Wave and JAWS 9, Anyone Having Problems?
Hi everyone, Thanks to everyone who responding publicly on this list and privately to me concerning my new job!! Thanks to all of you, I've been able to make things work using Gold Wave 5.22! Unfortunately, I'm now experiencing a serious problem using Gold Wave with JAWS 9, although everything works with JAWS 8 so I have gone back to that for the time being to keep myself employed. I wonder if anyone is experiencing problems playing audio in Gold Wave using JAWS 9.0, I have a call into Freedom Scientific support for the following problem, and I wanted to see if others are having the same problem so that we can get it fixed!!! My sincere apologies to the moderator if this is off topic, but I believe JAWS 9 and gold wave is relevant I hope. Problem: When playing a file using JAWS 9.0, the computer makes an error sound, it sounds as if you have reached the end of the document or that Windows has made an error. The sound keeps happening 7 or 8 times until you get an application error in JAWS and it either shuts down or at times continues to work even with the application running for a time. Further, any files that I try to cue and then split sound horribly distorted and staticky when I play them in JAWS 9. It makes no difference if I use the sound card in my laptop or use the Dectalk USB. If anyone could test this for me and let me know (privately please so as not to flood the list) if they are having problems, then we can report a bug to Freedom Scientific so that they realize that it is not just my computer. If it is just my computer, then I'll have to deal with that problem on my own. Thanks gain for listening, and best of holidays to all!!
