Dain,
I'm sure there's information on the JamBox update page that tells how to
invoke Live Audio Mode, but I first heard about it by listening to Robert
Carter's review at
http://robertcarter.posterous.com/
Live Audio Mode only works when connected via Bluetooth. If the update is
installed, the speech in the JamBox announces Live Audio when you hold both
volume controls down for a couple of seconds,, and you will hear the stereo
effect expand.

Who told you to hold both volume controls down? I've never heard of this
before.
I'm not saying your wrong.
Up till now I've controlled my iPod from the unit itself.

Dain,
Did your JamBox come with the Live Audio update installed? The one I
ordered from AMAZON.COM didn't. The first thing I tried after starting
music on my iPod Touch was to hold both volume buttons down to start Live
Audio Mode, but nothing happened.
I then went to the web site and installed the JawBone Updater. This
program opens the update page, and I found that the free NVDA screen
reader seemed to work a little better than either JFW or Window-Eyes on
this page. After updating, Live Audio was impressive for its ability to
spread the stereo effect from such a small speaker. Of course, for Live
Audio to work properly, you must sit directly in front of the speaker at
the optimum distance.

Okay well a couple of points I'd like to comment on.
I know various people around the world who have them and who have tested
the update software.
Yep, it would appear to be a challenge for a blind person to use it
would seem, the people I know have sight so they've used it and all
report that no updates are available at this time.
I take your point about bluetooth devices but you certainly do not need
a bluetooth device on hand to use one of these things, as I said they
have a line-in socket thus make a truly marvelous portable speaker
system, I plug a very nice Denon tuner into mine for example.

OK, well if you could let us know when you do get to that, if you do,
as maybe some units, purchased from various sellers around the world,
might not be selling the unit with the latest upgrades in. If I had the
unit, I would go test this myself, but I need to wait until I get a
bluetooth device yet, which is a bit down the road for me.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew
