Hi all! I wish to give huge thankyous to KB and all the others who worked to get 7.3 out the door. Many thanks! I have some good things and some bad. A good thing is that unlike previous versions, when I plug in my USB headphones they are automatically recognized and I get sound without having to change anything! (which is a huge win from before when I had to mess with settings, sometimes for a few minutes, to get headphone sound and microphone audio.) The not so good thing is that I don't have any working volume control for that sound. Nothing I have found will change the sound volume in the headphones except the little dongle-thing that is inline in the headphone cord. sometimes when messing with it strange things happen on the screen that I don't understand, so I prefer to just leave it alone. (one thing I don't know is if the microphone is enabled, too, when it is plugged in... I'll probably find out tomorrow when I have an online class.) Anyone have any ideas how to get control over this? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ---------------------------- Do you not know? Have you not heard?
