RE: SIGMATEL PROBLEMS ON DELL LAPTOP
Hi Judy, Thanks for the interesting reply. Do you know, by any chance, if using a USB soundcard would fix it? If so, any thoughts on something basic? Thanks.

The Dell support teams admitted that sigmatel had a problem. The output is good, but input is very problematic. The web cam microphones sounded better than any of the external mics we tried, but they kept dropping out.. It was a shame I had to sell it, the xps was a light and fast machine... If you google the problem, you will see it mentioned as a known problem.

WINAMP - ALWAYS ON TOP
Hi, Question here for my Father-in-Law. He's playing albums in Winamp by selecting a folder, opening the context menu and then selecting play in Winamp. Works fine when I'm there doing it, but invariably shortly after I've left although the tracks play, Winamp seems to be minimised. Is there a relevant setting to ensure that Winamp is always in focus? Don't quite know what "always on top" does, but wondered if this was relevant?

TURNING OFF SIGMATEL FILTERS - MORE ON BIRDSONG
Hi, I think I need to try to play around with the Sigmatel filters, and to turn some of them off. Have looked at the properties of the Sigmatel stuff in device manager, but don't know what to do to try to turn off the filter which I think may be blocking mid-range frequencies which I am trying to record. Advice please. thanks.

RE: HELP WITH SETTINGS TO TRANSFER CASSETTES OF BIRDSONG TO PC
Hi, I'm using a good quality stereo deck and have tried both the line out and the headphone jack, with similar results. I did try the earphone socket on an old ghetto blaster which seemed to be better, although the motor was too noisy. Any thoughts welcomed, as these tapes are well worth preserving. Thanks.

Anyway this doesn't solve your problem. How are you interfacing your cassette machine to your computer? Is your cassette machine portable, stereo dual, etc. Curtis Delzer At 01:41 PM 6/22/2008, you wrote: >HI, as the subject says, I want to transfer cassettes of professionally >recorded birdsong to my PC.

HELP WITH SETTINGS TO TRANSFER CASSETTES OF BIRDSONG TO PC
HI, as the subject says, I want to transfer cassettes of professionally recorded birdsong to my PC. I'm using XP home with Audacity. Problem is that the recording blots out all the ambient noise - such as the woodland sound. Not quite sure what to try to change. It's almost as though there's a filter blocking out that mid frequency range. Help welcome.
