This is actually a symptom of what I believe to be a greater problem, the overall decrease in accessability of the whole audio wrelm. I just bought this shiny new computer complete with this stupid onboard sound from Realtech that is frustrating at best. Can't control the sound other than in the most very basic way. The Windows controls give me control over the volume at least, but I can't get any more highs out of my speakers as one example.
I'm sorry, if I've got built in audio why the blank should I have to pay for another box and use one of my disappearing USB ports? My audio rant for the day. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Naessens Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 8:09 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: I Was Wrong Very well stated Bruce. Not long ago, I would have and occasionaly did join you in the endorsement of this software. Now I've decided that I won't be updating further. In fact, I've already rolled back and haven't yet decided whether or not Easy CD still deserves space on my harddrive. As of this writing, I can't even get the program's author to respond to my emails and I've given up on him. That being said, does anyone know of a program that offers the kind of accessibility that Easy Cd used to offer? I'd like to move on to something that continues to advance while mnmaintaining accessibility. For whatever reason, I'm not a big Nero guy, but if there's an all around program out there that's similar to what Easy cD once was, I'd like to hear about it.
