>I also have two speakers hooked up to the headphone jack on occasion, >and the volume through them is STILL too low... What is the other configuration you have your speakers set up? Pluged into a stereo card? Sonic Blaster? Anyway, are your speakers amplified? If not, that would explain why you have to turn the volume all the way up... BTW, when you say you turn the volume all the way up, is that the volume on the speakers or the control panel (or software) settings, or on the stereo card? If you don't have externally pwered and amplified speakers, I would recommend Accoustic Research (AR) speakers... They're bigger, better, and lowder than the BOSE speakers and LESS expensive (at least at the local stores here in Chattanooga).

A friend of mine has it, but has gone on vacation for two >months and I would rather not wait now that I finally have Soundsmith 0.94 >working on my Hard drive. There are two versions of that SoundSmith song. Axel.F, and Axel.FH. The second is supposed to be an enhanced version of the song, but on my system, it plays back with all the wrong intruments assigned to all the wrong notes (ever hear HIHAT2 play the melody and the SYNTH play percussion). I've had problems with song files for both my older version of SoundSmith and the 0.94 version. The songs aren't playing to their entirety. The song JIGSAW doesn't get far enough in to play the "Congratulations" sound. Also another (I can't remember the title, but it begins with an I and ends in a... 6?) one seems to have no data beyond block #6, and also ends abruptly. I have each song on a separate 5.25" disk with all their instruments, except for the Axel.F songs, which are on a 3.5" disk. Also, why do some songs load some instruments twice? I have some that load up two copies of HIHAT2, and I can't tell any difference between them. Isn't instrument volume, etc. control available it the song file itself? >Also, the volume settings on my speakers seems to be WAY off.

I'd try regular headphones, and if it still seems strange, ask someone else about the volume. Have them hear it, and if they say it is very loud, perhaps a hearing test might be in order. Myself, I haven't had a problem like this, and my machine has already been upgraded to ROM 01 (I'll wait with 03 until it looks like I need it). __ ___________ __ /_/\/_/_______\_\/\_\ \ \_\ \__ __/ /_/ / \ __ \ | | / __ / \_\/\_\|_|/_/\/_/ Call me Hammer. / /_/ /| |\ \_\ \ /greg@hoss.unl.edu\ /_/ /_/_______\_\ \_\

On the Control Panel or in software settings (ie, bBlockout's + and -). >If you don't have externally pwered and amplified speakers, I would recommend >Accoustic Research (AR) speakers...

Yes, I should get some better speakers, but I'm unconvinced that the problem is just the speakers. They used to be louder, and the internal speaker was louder as well. What could cause a sound level drop like this? f o d d e r f o d d e r
