SoundBlaster Extigy

2006-06-13 Thread Dana S. Leslie
Is anyone familiar with the SoundBlaster Extigy:
http://soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=207&product=585
The page mentions that it includes optical in/out connections, and a line-in 
connection. but it does not specifically mention an old-fashioned line-out 
connection. I want to be sure it includes one, as I want to connect its 
output to my home stereo receiver, rather than connect my stereo speakers 
directly to the extigy.

Also, if anyone has any other feedback on installation or any other issues, 
I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks.

Blessed Be,

Dana

Oh, I found some instructions around once that allow you to use Winamp 
plugins on the whole output if you set Vac as the default card, but this 
would cause me to get no speech as the screen reader would want to come 
through the cable instead.

 Hmm, do you mean by using the virtual audio cable?
 There is a repeater pgorgram that comes with the program in which you
 define
 the soundcard tha has the outgoing source and the other as incomming

 Hello!
 I just tried out the virtual cable program and it seems to be a 
 very
 good

 Though its very frustrating to hear this trial sound evry 5 second

 However has anybody here found any free such software?
 Its a pain to share my credit card info with someone else and i

 I dont think thats realiable.
 Maybe it is.

No, but I was thinking of it for recording Skype since I don't want to send 
the callers sound back to himself and make conferences sound like trash. I 
guess I'd have to live with the 3 repeater windows, which are hard to juggle 
if you do Skype and other tasks at the same time.

CD or DVD writer information please

2006-06-13 Thread Ted Phillips
Hi listers.  Since my DVD writer died on me a couple of days ago, I am now in 
need of a new one.  What seems to be the preference of everyone these days.  
One of my old favorites was a plexter 12/10/32  drive, but that was before the 
faster drives of the last couple of years.  Any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks in advance.

Again, I don't see why you want to do this. If you really need default
sound card to be a virtual cable, then kill all your windows sounds and
force your speech to go over another sound card.

Well, Skype conferences sound like trash by default, so that's out
already.

What you could do if you really want though, if you only have one sound
card, might be to redirect skype to one of the virtual cables for the
it's output, then run a copy of vac to rout the cable back to your sound
card, then running another copy of vac to get the sound from your sound
card into a second virtual cable pair that you can record with.
A lot easier to do with outboard gear, and something liek Skype surely
isn't going to depreciate in sound quality given how bad it already is.

Surely this would be a bit more feasible than using it as a default
sound device?
