RE: Sound card recommendation wanted

Hi there!  I would like to find an external one, that has separate jacks for
line-in and headphone.  My sound card on my Del Latitude only has one plug,
making it very difficult to use like I need   to use it.

Unfortunately, I doubt that you will be able to find a sound card which has
Jaws friendly software.

However, go to techbuy.com.au and do a search for sound card.

There are still several cards made by Creative (even though their model
names do their best to hide the nature of their functions).

I suggest that you look closely at the Asus XONAR cards.

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest a good quality internal sound card where the accompanying
software is JAWS friendly. I want one with separate line in and microphone
jacks and if possible two sets of stereo line out. My old Sound Blaster Live
could do this.

Thanks very much,

Flash content not playing on my system.

2014-06-26 Thread Michael Mote
Hi folks!  I'm having a lot of issues with flash content not playing on my
Del latitude machine.  Some flash content does play, like youtube videos.
But content from mlb.com/s gameday audio does not play.  I have tried using
both Firefox and Internet Explorer with no success.  I have tried installing
the latest version of flash, which is now version 14.  Anyone have this
issue, and if so what did you do about it?  Thanks very much!

 

 

 

 



RE: question about a laptop's audio.

2014-07-07 Thread Michael Mote
Dave, if it is like my laptop, a Del Latitude, the headphone output should
be set to speaker out for the best sound quality.  Not overly impressed with
the computer speakers themselves.  Mine only has one plug that serves as
both headphone input, and line In, when you set it for that.  I don't like
that either.  If you're planning to do some work with audio files, or
recording into the computer, I would recommend an external sound card.  This
way you would be able to monitor the input better.  That's just my opinion.

I'm an iPhone 5 user.  I use Siri and Voice Over for most of what I do with
a phone--send text messages, make calls.  I upgraded to 8 because of an
article much like the one in this message which I have just read most if not
all of.  I'm now using 8.0.2.  I have had enough problems with VO and Siri
that I re-installed 8.0.2.  Some slight improvement after that but not much.

The problem I have in particular is the inability to place a call or send a
text message reliably.  To me, that, and not the bells and whistles, is why
I got the phone.  Whether my experience is typical I cannot say.  Nor can I
say whether it's because of my 16-G iPhone 5.  But, unless you really need
the bells and whistles, I'd be somewhat cautious about the upgrade.  Hype is
nice, but I've already seen the Jetsons world and I can't use a device
because of hype.

I was doing well with Sound Forge 8 years ago then my XP machine crashed and

download for Sound Forge 8 but it requires a codec Pac 1 download as well.
Can I download all of this on my current computer without it creating
problems?  I tried Goldwave and Audacity but they don't come close to the
ease and versatility of Sound Forge 8.  I can't afford to buy a current
version of Sound Forge at this point.  I use a JAWS screen reader 14.  Your

RE: station program accessibility

2015-02-17 Thread Michael Mote
I would recommend three programs for station automation.  Station Playlist
is the best one that I have heard of to date.  I have a friend who operates
an Internet radio station using it.  He also suggested one called Radio
Boss, and also SAM broadcaster.  If they haven't fully decided, perhaps you
could suggest these.  The one that you mentioned was not accessible a few
years ago.  Sorry to say that, but that's what I have been told.

RE: SiriusXM online

For what it is worth, I have tested the new beta version of the Sirius
On-line player.  I will agree that it is much more accessible than the
previous one.  It is a bit clunky, but I was able to figure out how to
change channels, and so on.  I'm still very early on in the process, but
this is a giant improvement from the previous player.  I will say that it
works much better using Firefox.

RE: SiriusXM online

2015-03-12 Thread Michael Mote
Go to the following web-site:
http://www.siriusxm.com

Then, click on the listen on-line link.  You may get an option to try the
new beta player.  Click on this option, and the new player will pop-up.  You
must have an on-line account to be able to listen to the channels on-line.
Once you have logged in, you will see the new player.  Granted this is a
beta version, and it may be a little clunky.  It has been for me.  Across
the top of the page, you have several options that are all clickable.  They
are not links, but if you use your arrow keys, you can still click on them
by pressing enter.  You have, search, channels, recent, me, favorites etc.
When you select channels, then the page refreshes.  If you scroll down, you
will see the list of categories.  Let's say you want to listen to music.
Find where JAWS reads Music clickable, and press enter.  When you do this,
scroll down, and you see the different types of music categories, like pop,
rock, country etc.  Select the category you want, and then press enter.  The
list of channels under that category pops up.  Just scroll to the one you
want to listen to, and press enter.  Now if you want to change channels, go
to the channel clickable option and click it.  Then repeat the process
above.  Hope this helps!

Weird! When I click on just the SiriusXM link you gave, I click on "Listen
Online" and I have a place that says "GoLive" and click it and listen! I
still gotta figure out how to change channels once I put in a channel number
and it automatically comes up everytime I get into the player. I may install
the newer JAWS and see if it makes a difference.

Question about meta data displaying in Winamp using JAWS and a braille display.

2015-04-16 Thread Michael Mote
Hi folks!  I'm wondering if someone can help me with an issue I'm having.  I
have a friend who wants to see the metadata information on his braille
display using Winamp.  He says JAWS reads it to him, but the braille display
is not showing him the information even though JAWS reads it.  Is there a
way to make this happen?  

 

 

 

 

 



RE: Noice canceling headphones.

2015-04-24 Thread Michael Mote
I would recommend the Bose OE Sound Link headphones.  This is the next model of 
Bluetooth headphones that Bose has made.  I use them, and I like them.  I will 
point out one issue that I seem to have with mine though.  The delay in sound 
from my phone to my headphones is sometimes hard to deal with.  Other than 
that, I think they really sound good, and may give you what you're wanting.  
Also, you can pair them with more than one device at a time, which is a real 
advantage.  I have an iPod and an iPhone.  If I'm listening to something on my 
iPod for example, and my phone rings, I can answer the call, and when I'm done 
switch back to my iPod without any major issues.  Pretty cool in my humble 
opinion.

So what i want is headphones which are closed and noice canceling and bluetooth

RE: CD Problem

2015-05-06 Thread Michael Mote
Hello!  I have had this problem before, and it all had to do with the type of 
CD drive I was using.  When I used my HP laptop, several CDS simply could not 
be read, so I could not rip any tracks from them.  Now I'm using a Dell.  
Recently I tried to rip tracks from the problematic CDS, and was successful in 
doing so.  Just sharing with you my experience.  It may be something this 
simple.  In my case, if the CD doesn't play using anything, then I cannot rip 
any songs from it.  I always attempt to play it first.  I hope this helps!

Good Morning

A while ago I decided to scrap all my music CD’s and store them onto my

no longer posses a disc Walkman and very few CD players, relying mostly on my 
PC. I never share any of my music it’s entirely for my own enjoyment.

As I’m a jazz fan my wife, a few years ago, bought me a collection from Time 
Life of 12 double disc album called Classic Jazz. They are wonderful and a joy 
to play but, unfortunately, can not be played in the PC. This just will not 
recognise them which means I cannot move them into the PC memory with the other 
music. I have always thought this was because of some DRM protection but I 
tried again today and I'm wondering it it’s for another reason. I wonder if i’s 
because of the format or type of sic used.

would this be possible? If so does anyone have any ideas as to how I can 
overcome it, please?

Ripping DVD's.

Hi!

Decided to have a go at doing this with VLC Media Player for Windows, found a 
very nice tutorial on the subject.

Firstly if you’re using Window-Eyes and you wish to have a go at doing this 
then I suggest you forget it, by default Window-Eyes won’t even read the 
dialogue boxes and thus you won’t be able to select the information you require.

I don’t know about JAWS as I’ve not had time to explore the various options in 
VLC for ripping/converting but I have had time use NVDA and it worked quite 
well.
