Hi. Of 3 weeks ago, no.  The BBC's techno bod was interviewed on "In Touch"
and asked about it and he said they were working on it but I think  it might
still be a work in progress.  Walter.

xfm

2008-12-16 Thread Richard Claypool

Hi,

I'd like to listen to xfm through windows media player, but it's opening in 
a web page.  Now, there is the london branch that will play in aac, but it's 
totally unbalanced, the right speaker is louder than the left.  the one out 
of manchester sounds great, but it loads in a web page using windows media 
player.

I tried modifying the url to no avail which is
javascript:void(window.open('http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/player/default.asp?s=60&e=0','xfmman','width=607,height=558,top=10,left=10'))
I took out the java code, but it wouldn't work.  any ideas as to how I could 
find the actual url for this?


I remember seeing a how to on this, but no longer have it.

thanks,
Rick

Hello,
Here are the Windows Media links for the stations you requested.  Although 
they don't end with the usual .asx extension they worked fine from the run 
dialog in Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media Player 11.  I found these 
listings by going to:

http://www.vtuner.com
and searching for Xfm.

Xfm London

Re: Recording on an ASUS Eee 1000H

2008-12-16 Thread Barry Chapman
Thanks John.  Can you or anyone suggest a fairly good quality USB sound card 
with line in and line/headphone out which works well 
with JAWS, is fairly small and preferably is powered from a single USB port.

Thanks,

Hello Barry,
You had it right the first time, you will need a USB sound card with a line
in jack.
Trying to run a line out in to a mike in as you discovered, just will not
work.
My best regards!

Hello Andre,
Did you try moving the power supply as far away from the stereo as you 
possibly can?

Hi John

We had the power supply as far from the laptop as we could from the
beginning.

I still think that the problem probably lies with a power supply that is not
properly shielded.

Hello Andre,
Did you try relocating the power supply?
I'm asking because if you put a power supply on top of an amplifier, it will
make all of those noises.

Hi John

It seems to be a computer-like sound.  Like the sound you get from a fax
machine or when any kind of receiver picks up the sound from a computer.

Hello,
Is it some kind of a humming noise or it is a bussing sound?
Either way, it is all coming from the power supply.
If the power supply is weak and doesn't have enough amps of currant, that
thing will make a lot of noise with USB audio devices.
Call or go by the store and see if they will upgrade the power supply for
you.
My best regards!

Hi

This is one of the new Acer laptops.  She had an HP before and had no such

Hello,
The problem may be with the power supply itself.
If the power supply isn't regulated properly, it will make a lot of noise
through your sound system.
Where did she get this lab top from?
You and or her may wish to start there and see if they will replace her
power supply with a better one.
My best regards!

Hi all

A friend of mine has a very strange problem with her new laptop.

She uses a xitel device to play music from her laptop through a high
quality stereo system.  When she connects this device to her laptop
while on battery power, everything is fine and the sound is clear.
However, as soon as she connects the power chord of her laptop, a lot
of noise is generated through her speakers.  She had another laptop
before which was stolen, and it worked fine.

She has already tried to connect the laptop to a different power
outlet and also tried to move the xitel further away from the laptop
with a USB extension cable  without any luck.

Any advice from all you knowledgeable folks?

Andre

Friend Needs Help With Sound Card

2008-12-16 Thread Pam Drake
Please forgive the cross post, but we are trying to help a young lady
with a sound card we don't know anything about, and are hoping to find
someone on one of these two lists who might be able to assist.

.  It is the Soundmax HD Audio card, and came with her Dell desktop
computer.  She knows little about the machine, but would like to
participate in audio chats.  

We are working by phone and she is in another city/State, so we're
flying blind, no pun intended.  
We have followed all the usual procedures for a Windows sound card, but
so far nothing is obvious.  We believe the mic is muted, and can't
figure out how to unmute it.  There are two checkboxes whose checked or
unchecked status we don't understand, and there appears to be a rear
speaker recording capability as well.  There appear to be jacks both on
the front and rear, and she's not sure which is which.  She says the mic
was plugged in at Wal-Mart, but she has not attempted to do anything
with it herself.  Dave did have her check the mic and uncheck the rear
speaker, but this did no good.  She had sound coming out of her
speakers, but Dave was able to help her silence it.  

This is all the information I can offer, so hope it will be enough to
give this lady some help.  It appears she received the computer system
with little instruction.  

Thanks in advance.  

Pam
