My new Olympus DM-19 digital voice and music recorder has an input that is for both Microphone and earphone. The microphone works, my headphones work, but the irock FM broadcaster I bought at radio shack doesn't work in it, nor do any of the headphone plugs at my local radio shack. How can I get the Olympus recorder to recognize the irock? Do I need a different FM broadcaster? Are radio shack's plugs too short for the Olympus receptacle? They look virtually identical.
Read other answersI recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
arial My Sony Minidisc player records really well, how do I get the files that I have recorded with a microphone transfered to my computer for editing?
Best way I know is to get a male to male Line In-Out cord. It looks like 2 ends of a headphone socket attached. You would plug one end in the line in or mic socket on the computer and the other in the headphone socket of the minidisc player.
Is this the same thing you just posted regarding an olympus minidisc player?
Hello,
I was given what I think is a minidisc. It looks like a cd, only much smaller. It isn't completly round however, as two of the edges are trimmed down. It looks more like an oval now.
My question is, if I were to buy some of these, can I copy my stuff onto them just like a regular cd? With Nero or whatever, and secondly, anyone know where I can find these items to purchase? Thanks!
hello
you can copy onto them if they are writable discs or rewritable discs. ive seen and used some of the discs you described. they are made that way for convience --like the size of your pocket easy to lug around. However they do not hold the storage capacity of 80 minute (800mb) they generally hold anywhere from 150mb - 210mb . also click on this link to see where to get them. http://www.plaza101.com/plaza/search/res/r8174691.html I have purchased them at office max at one time. hope this is a help
a friend of mine showed me a disc that he was sent by a friend in japan, it has songs on it that he composed and he wanted to know if I could copy them to a cd for him. the problem is I never saw a disc like that, it looks like a standard floppy disc except that it is smaller, it is made by tdk and all the writing on it is printed in japanese, he took it to a couple of big box stores and they know nothing about them. tdk's website shows that they have them and they are called minidisc but no other info, can anyone help?
Does it look like this?
If so, yes its a minidisc. It was phased out several years ago. You'll need to find a player to be able to use it. I have a Sony player/recorder.
I want to tidy up some audio files a friend has recorded onto Mini Disc, but the software that comes with it will only allow you to put on the PC what you have taken off. Does anyone know of a program that will allow you to use your USB connection to import the audio to the PC. I've tried using the earphone socket of the Minidisc and the Microphone socket of the PC, but the quality's not as good. Cheers.

I need to find a way to get the recorded files from the minidisc to my computer so that i'd beable to burn them and give them to some people(so that they could play it like a regular cd or at least use their computer to play it)I tried plugging the line cable into the mic jack on the back of my computer but that didn't work to well since the program the comes with windows doesn't record to long. Is there another recorder that i could download that is able to record longer? Is there anyother way to get it on to my computer.
I'm trying to give some people the stuff i secretly recorded in a staff meeting and it is very important.
Thanks for any help.
Do you have a Creative sound card? They sell an accessory to their sound cards (it comes with the Augidy Platinum and Live! Platinum) for I think $30 or so and it has an optical in and out especially meant for minidiscs. It comes with some pretty good software. Also, Sony makes a computer to MD interface that you can easily transfer recordings with. Otherwise, I haven't had much luck either trying to record through the analog onto my computer so I wouldn't be able to help ya there.

Is there anything else I need to buy? Does it come with everything to transfer mp3s from my pc to minidisc or shal i ned to buy something else? or download anything
Can anyone recommend software for copying MP3's to minidisc. The software that comes with the player is fine, but you have to import the mp3's into a playlist, which means they are duplicated. This takes up room on my hard drive.

PS I have a Sharp MD-MT270H
is it possible to record song i have on my computer hard disk directly onto a minidisk? if so how? i have Sony MD (MZ-R70) and am using Windows 98SE
You should be able to record it the R70 via your sound card. You can either use a patch cable to go directly from the speaker port on your sound card to the mic port on the R70, or you might be able to record the song just off the speakers from your computer, tho the quality won't be very good. You might have to search a little to find a cable that will connect your sound card to the R70.
Here is a link to more info on the R70 .
Does anyone know of a program that can be used to create a MiniDisc (sony NETMD NE-410) or any other media player, besides RealOne, that can used to create MiniDiscs?

ive got a mini disc with photos on it ,the disc has been finalised correctly ,but wont play in dvd player in computer .just doesnt start up or any recognition at all ive tried the disc in different computers can any body help thenks
My computer recognizes the minidisc player and downloads a driver for it, but the minidisc player will not work. I have plugged it into my USB port, but nothing happens. It is a Sony and in the handbook Sony says that I need to contact my computer manufacturer for a USB audio upgrade.
I have no experience with it, but you say that the computer recognizes the player but nothing happens. How is it recognized? Does the player play the disk at all? Can you plug in your earphones and also the usb at the same time and if so, hear music. Have you check the various Volume Control Propetrties to make sure that the one for hte player is not turned down or muted? Post back with more details if possible.
When I play tracks in my Playlist they play for just over 30 seconds and then STOP.
The CDs were loaded into OpenMG some time ago.
Any ideas?
I purchased a SOHOUSB card reader on Ebay that came with drivers on a Minidisc.It will not load on an IBM Thinkpad 600 running Win 98SE. Someone advised me that I would need drivers to make it work with Win 98SE.Where would I find these drivers?
Copy the drivers from the CD (surely you mean the small sized CD and not the Sony music media) on a computer that manages to read it.
Having recorded and finalised my discs I can watch them on my computer but can't save the recordings from the mini dvd to my hard drive. I used to be able to so I'm not sure what has change. Any ideas?

My husband and i are in a band and are trying to upload our music to a local site. It said we needed mp3 files so we tried coverting our wave file to an mp3 file ( my husband downloaded something that said it could do this) and now we have no sound.

HELP!
Try a different program.
Are you converting from CD, or a wave file on the hard drive?

I've tried a lot of things to figure this out and it's been going on for quite awhile, still if anyone can post any reason why it won't stream sound, please do so, I want help badly.
I tried an instill of a new hard drive and made it the master drive, however I couldn't install windows from a disc (pci.sys) so instead i copied my os off of the old hard drive but everything had to be copied. (If you can tell me an install process to help me with my sound that'll work too)
youtube doesn't work.. etc
absolutely everything from the internet = no sound except if it caches a file and plays that file instead.
checked volumes, "play sound in webages", downloaded codecs, flash, updates.
post anything, please?
I am running Audacity on a new 64 bit computer, running Vista. I had got my sound really good, good enough to do voice auditions, but now when I convert my Wav file to mp3 and send it to myself, the sound is awful. Why is there such a difference, when it sounds so good in Audacity or on my file converter?
I'm a budding, young composer (about 300 songs over 40 years) and a little new to the MP3 scene.
I create sound files, usually .wav or MP3 of music but my Vista platform won't let me change or add artist name, track number, etc.
Is there a way to do this on my laptop without downloading $11,000.00 worth of software?
Thanks.
billthelifer, good morning and welcome to Sunday.When you Right-Click on one of your MP3's, does a menu pop up and offer you a "Properties" option?If so, please select that and in the window that pops up, you should see a General tab, a Security tab and a Details tab.It is under the Details tab that you should be able to hover (and click) over any of the fields to add, remove or change any of the details that you want.I just tried this on a couple of MP3's on my Vista machine without any problems. I've got a lot of cluttered MP3's laying around in my Music folder (free stuff I downloaded from a bunch of singer-songwriters) so I used those. Please note that I couldn't relplicate this with a wav file, as I don't have any of those, kinda big and all.Also, just as a quick aside, when you make your MP3's - what app are you using?Please let me know if that helps.Winterland

Read other 3 answersI was using the install and change tool and there was a program "RON tool cpmsky" with no size or publisher info. When I try to uninstall it, it asks for a verification code which wants me to type the letters and numbers displayed above the text box. When I type the code and choose continue, the dialog box closes but nothing else happens. How can I get rid of this program?
I am frequently getting pop ups that have the title "RON ads by cpmsky" even when I don't have any browser windows open. I also have had sound files that are of someone talking about buy.com or something. There's a program in the uninstall/remove windows tool with the title RON tool cpmsky with no publisher or size information. When I try to uninstall it, it asks if I'm sure and warns me my computer may not run the same as before. I chose yes, and it wants me to type in a series of 7 letters and numbers displayed above the text box as an uninstall validation. I do and it closes the box but nothing happens. If I type it wrong, it doesn't close the box and says the code is invalid.

My computer has sound at startup but when I open wmv files and other formats, the video shows but not the sound. My "volume" is maximized and very loud when the computer starts and is shut off.
Is there some setting that I need to change?
Thanks
I don't think there are any codecs for wmv files, so you could try opening the file with a different program such as Media Player Classic.
I've been tying to play some MOV files with Quicktime and while I get the video, there's no audio.
I think I might be missing a codec or something because I got a message the first time around saying something to the effect that it's missing software and will try to connect to Apple to download it, but it ended up not being able to connect to the site.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Try installing Quicktime Alternative, with or without the included player. It will not conflict with Quicktime (though it is a good replacement for it) and contains many codecs.
OK, I'm stumped. I have sound if I play songs on Media Player. I don't have sound if I hit someone's My Space page (or my own), so I can't hear the song being played. I have sound if I play video files on the internet, but I don't have sound if I play movie files uploaded from my camera. I don't have sound on flash files or games. What's going on here? Can anyone help?
Do you have the latest Flash Player installed? Quicktime may help too. Is your system fully updated using Microsoft's Update website?

Ok, I went away for the weekend and while I was gone, there was a thunderstorm and the power went on and off a few times (not sure if this is related or not).
Well, I returned after the weekend away from my computer, I turn my computer on and it starts to chug along (its rather old), it gets to the windows xp loading screen and then just turns black. I leave it on this black screen for an hour or so and nothing happens. I try a few more times and the same thing happens.
I'm suprised, so I go into safe mode and as safemode is loading (as it shows the system files loading or whatever), one file called sptd.sys refuses to load. So, I press esc to cancel it's loading and when I finally get to my desktop in safemode, I find the file called sptd.sys (it's located at windows/system32/drivers/sptd.sys) and move it into a different folder on my desktop. I restart my computer and it loads perfectly.
Next, I try to play my iTunes and it says there is a problem with my audio. I look at my system tray and there is no little speaker to adjust my volume. I try everything I can think of, but my sound wont work. I'm using a baster! live sound card, and it's as if it isn't being detected.
I put the sptd.sys file back in it's place, but when I restart my computer it goes to the stupid black screen again.

Greetings Maxwell McLeod, Welcome to TSF!
Perhaps the quickest and simplest solution to your dilemma would be to firstly try a System Restore back to a date before you went away.
To do this...
Go Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
Once in the System Restore Panel, select Restore my computer to an earlier time > Next > select one of the bold dates on the left hand side > Next > OK.
The computer will automatically reboot...upon reboot, you will have a completely blank Desktop for about 2 minutes; then, the System Restore feature will confirm the change, click OK and all should be fine.
One point to remember; you will have to update your Anit Virus definitions/database again.
Please Note: Doing a System Restore using this method will not delete any of your personal data and files.
Give it a go and report back with how you fared.
Kind Regards,

I just installed Windows 10 on my PC. I have had it on my laptop for a while. The install was perfect except for one problem - sound on certain files.
I have a sound card installed with the SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio Driver version 1.4.90 driver software installed. Most things have fine sound, example: youtube videos. Some files have no sound, (I think the sound starts for the first second and then fades out?). An example is a .mov file I just got emailed. I tried the clip on my laptop which is also windows 10. The sound is fine there.
For the .mov file I have played it back in the default player, vlc and quicktime, all the same problem.
I have installed the latest driver for the audio card. I also tried removing the current drivers and letting windows install the default, and also removing and then installing the drivers myself.
I have not been able to get sound on the video clip. I have noticed the problems on other clips also.
Any clues appreciated, I am stymied.
I don't get any sound when I open flash files on my Windows 98(1st edition) IBM system. Example: http://www.brainpop.com I see the animation, but no sound.

Is it the latest version of Flash?
I think the newest is Flash 7
No sound on MIDI files. Sound on other formats. Win Media player or IrfanView or vanBasco all indicates file is playing. I think I lost sound when I was cleaning out junk from system. OS Win98se.
Hi moldy811, and welcome to TSG.
Double check your volume / sound mixer control panel settings. Make sure that the "SW Synth" channel is not muted and that the volume control slider is not all the way down.
If the settings look OK then double check the System Control Panel / Device manager to see if there are any warning symbols for the sound controller.
Hi, I'm using ASUS W5F Lappie, and windows XP SP2 OS.
I use winamp for music player. About two weeks ago, I tried to play my mp3 music files, but all of my mp3 sound like scratch... nothing else but scratch sound...
Then I tried to play them using iTunes, still doesn't help.
And then when I used WMP, the sounds come out fine.
So I decided to use WMP.(I think there must be some error with other player, so I uninstall winamp)
However, when i put my mp3 to ipod, all the files sound like scratch again. (but works fine in WMP). The same thing happen when I burn the mp3 into CD and play it in my car. Even my mates copy the mp3 into usb drive, and play them on his lappie, the error still occur.
What is the problem? I did reinstall the sound driver but doesn't help.

I am not familiar with surround sound cards, but have been wondering whether it is possible to play different wav files out of each of the channels of a surround sound card?
I have written a small program that allows me to 'merge' 2 mono wav files into a 'stereo' wav file, and play them at the same time - wav1 to left, wav2 to right. What I am hoping to do is extend this to at least 4 wav files, each one coming out of left front, left rear, right front, right rear. Is this possible? If so, where can I get more info on this? I havnt been able to find anything so far on the net.
Thanks for any advice

Most audio file formats are stereo only - you can't possibly put more than two channels in there. AFAIK the only free codec for surround sound is Vorbis.
Can't help you with any specific program to actually create surround Vorbis files.

Well sounds like you might have uninstalled your soundcard driver. Try going to the device manager and check if any devices have yellow question marks. If your soundcard does then you will need to reinstall the driver.
