My new home machine came with a `musical fan' that plugs between the pc speaker and the motherboard. If I hold my thumb on the fan, it plays a tune ;-) So here's the test: Connect a microphone between the speaker and the SoundBastard; if pcaudio isn't active and there's data coming into the SoundBastard, the fan ain't working, so halt. ;-) > >-- >]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ >]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ >]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ >]] realtime instrument control.
