Hi Tony, Anything under "Sound Effects"? Or "DSP Sound Effects?" What do you find under "Adjust audio?" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Sweeney" <tonysweeney1@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 6:51 AM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Disabling Sterio/Bass for Jaws Hi Flor, Yes, I did send S and S a system information report as directed by them so I'm sure they would have seen my sound card type! Sigmatel they refer to in their reply as posted! Is that a problematic sound card? Any other thoughts? I know of people who have also XP and Jaws 8 with no apparent probs!
