I have one suggestion for this suggestion: The user should have some means of testing his setup. It can be quite difficult to be certain when a surround sound setup is actually plugged in correctly, and playing random sounds is not always helpful. I think one powerful possibility would be a test system with a spinning dot that emits a sound, possibly following the mouse pointer. This way, the user has control over where the sound is coming from as well as the ability to test how well in-between sounds (coming from multiple speakers at once) work. Another thing needing some audio feedback is the balance adjustment, which should really have a light humming noise as it is adjusted in order to find the perfect spot, but I suppose that would be the volume control's problem.
Anyway, you can ignore my unimaginative suggestions. Basically, need speaker tester :) Bye, -Dylan McCall On Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 8:45 PM, Piotr Zaryk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm sure it's too late for Hardy.
