Greetings, Just seen this on the VicugL group and thought the tips here would be of use. Batteries need to be cared for properly — they’re a critical part of our mobile devices and battery technology hasn’t advanced as fast as other technologies. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of incorrect

Hi Reese, Brand new on the list, but let me help you with this. In goldwave, simply listen to the point where you want the audio fade to begin. Press the left bracket key to move the start point to that position. Now your edit area is only that last five seconds. In the effects menu toward

Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?

Hello List: I'm embarking on buying a new computer (it's a Dell XPS 8700 with what is called a Wave Max sound card (it's integrated into the system) so my question is: does anyone know about this Wave Max card? Is it accessible? The new computer will have Windows 7; I checked on another list

Yep, simply find the beginning of the sound clip and press that left bracket key for a starting point, and let it play to the end, of what you want and then press the right bracket to mark the end of the desired sound clip. You can now cut it and paste it into another blank sound document, or

I do. Lucky you. I want this PC. Hopefully I can get it at some point. Now, for your question. If Dell hasn't changed their ways, it's actually a realteck card that is part of the mother board as you said. The Wave Max Audio thing is just an audio inhansment thing. It's a software thing. As far as

If that is the same thing my XPS15Z I got on Ebay towards the beginning of the year came with, for whatever reason, when using Eloquence, Jaws sounds kind of harsh and distorted. It's not so bad on headphones, but I think a lot of that particular machine's gain is realized with the audio

Not sure I know what you mean by the regular one! The thing that Brent said has me a little concerned; hopefully (if I don't change my mind and go ahead and buy this thing) Jaws will still sound like it should sound! Thanks for the feedback so far; have heard indications that there may be a

Maybe the one you are thinking of getting is different enough that the speakers won't make Eloquence sound bad. I haven't bought Eloquence for System Access to see if that comes out better, so this one could be a hard one to troubleshoot. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman

Oh JAWS should be fine alright. I don't see why it should mess with it. Let me know. See if you can turn the Wave Max stuff off please, see I use Bose Companion 5 Multimedia speakers and Bose suggests turning this kind of stuff or the Beats stuff HP has I would guess off. This way the speakers do

The enhancement is probably what makes it sound weird. The one thing I found is that turning that off does make you take a considerable volume hit, so they are doing something that makes it sound louder than it would otherwise. - Original Message - From: Hamit Campos

Is that how you did it? This wave max stuff is soft ware stuff I thought. In other words, I thought it's a Dell thing, did you not find some kind of control pannal for it? My lap top has a Dell Audio thing you go into to turn on or off stuff that dell put on it I guess. That's another thing,

I know the option I found was in the properties when you hit speakers in the windows sound control panel. I didn't have to deal with the Dell software, but I suppose it's hard to tell if the Windows way does indeed turn off all the stuff they have. - Original Message - From: Hamit
