Hi, Have you ever tried to use "god mode" idea on your Windows 7 machine? I found it useful to the degree for my needs. It is definitely easier to get to a lot of configuration components of your operating system using this. Hth, Pawel.

I have no problem with sound management in XP. But if Microsoft doesn't fix the problems it created in Vista and 7, I may switch to, or at least add a Mac. I can't stick with XP forever. Although i know many people stuck with OS 9 practically forever because there was no ProTools support in OS X. In fact, no screen reader support at all in OS X for years and years. I don't want to be in that same position with XP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" <grtd...@internode.on.net> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 3:59 AM Subject: Re: recording sound without the screen reader coming through? >I have already answered the question in my first post actually so no, >the question wasn't ignored so I'll repeat what I've already said and >I'll explain a a little further so as to avoid any further confusion <smile>. > > Yes, by default a Mac can certainly capture and record sources without > Voiceover interfering so in other words you can run your Screen reader > without any fear of it conflicting with any incoming software streams. > > The process of "Capturing" is known in the Mac world commonly as > "Hijacking" but both terms pretty much mean the same thing. > > I use a piece of software here called Audio Hijack Pro which pretty > much does everything that Total Recorder does, only thing it won't do > is edit audio files but it can be integrated with an audio editor on the mac. > > You can "hijack" as many sources as you need at once and you can even > "Mix" those sources together if you want to, this makes software such > as Skype easy to monitor for example, I know people in call centres > who use a Mac with Audio Hijack Pro and Skype, using some simple Apple > scripts running with Audio Hijack Pro, they can monitor the call plus > log information regarding the call, say date and time, length of call > etc but I'm rambling. > > > On 19/09/2011, at 5:52 PM, Dave Scrimenti wrote: > >> Since the response contained no answer to the simple question asked, >> I'll try again.
