I run a line from the headphone jack on the DECtalk to the line in on my soundcard. This helps a lot. ----- Original Message ----- From: "cris" <filastin48@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 4:53 PM Subject: Help needed with DECTALK EXPRESS Dear listers, I have just purchased a dectalk express to use with linux. However, the sound is barely audible. It can not be battery problem because even with the external power on, the sound is still low. Is there a way of resetting this box to produce louder sound? Even when I turn the volume to Max, sometimes I miss words if there was a fan going on in the room. I am sure that I have not lost my hearing yet. Do I need a software to reset the Parameters? Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers, Cris Ali _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
