Advice needed on configuring two sound cards
Can anyone help. On my desktop PC, I have two sound cards. The default card I use for listening to music etc. The second I use for listening to JAWS. No problems so far. The USB speakers used for JAWS have buttons to turn the volume up and down. The problem is that rather than adjusting the volume of those speakers, they adjust the volume of the other sound card. Using Windows XP, does anyone know how I can select which sound card they control. Thanks, Barry Chapman To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

look in control pannal under sound and audio and check to see what is listed as the default card. --- here's your chance to help me go to the American blind bowlers Association's National bowling tournament this may. click the link below for more information. http://www.wrighthere.net/donations.html - Original Message - From: "Barry Chapman" To: "PC-Audio" Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2011 5:27 AM Subject: Advice needed on configuring two sound cards Can anyone help.

Re: Advice needed on configuring two sound cards
Hi Robert, It isn't the default card and I don't want it to be, because if I choose a listen link on the Internet, I want it to come through the other card. The question is, is there any way of having the volume control buttons control other than the default card.

What errors do you get if any? - Original Message - From: "Dan Kerstetter" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 11:44 PM Subject: Reinstalling ITunes I'm running a properly updated XP Home machine. I needed to uninstall ITunes for some reason. Now when I try installing ITunes 10 again, I can't get past the Quick Time installation and the process aborts. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to get ITunes to reinstall. Thanks.

FLAC Question
If I rip a CD to FLAC, there is, of course, no loss of audio information. But what about the level of compression I choose? If I choose Level 8 (the highest available), does that affect the sound quality of playback, at all, in comparison with a lower level of compression? I wouldn't think so; but I'm checking to see if there's something about FLAC compression I don't know/understand. Thanks.

Re: FLAC Question
Okay let's make a few things clear here. a FLAC file does not contain information on a CD rather its usually the associated Cue file which contains the information, how many tracks the CD contains, at which point or sector each track starts and ends, the name of each track, the artist of each, the length etc. Having said that it is possible to imbed a cue sheet into a FLAC file and extract or use this information with the FLAC file, thus cue and FLAC file are a pair which software can act upon, software takes instruction from the cue file. Regard the various compression levels for FLAC? None will give you any degradation in audio, they do however affect size and performance of the compressor. For example, Level 0 is fast whilst the higher levels take longer to encode and are slightly bigger though not by much, you may find that the difference is only say 10MB from levels 0 through 8 thus you may as well use level 0 as the size won't be much different and the encoder will take a fraction of the time to create your FLAC file.
