Since I have a Dell 486SX/25 with a Sound Blaster at home, I just had
to give PED a try. What a neat program! Way to go, MAS! While it is
a great program when just playing one voice over the built-in PC
speaker, ala CT-Modoki, it's fantastic played through a Sound Blaster
with several voices! I only wish my humble station could generate runs
like PED does <g>. I downloaded this copy from the W6GO BBS - took
about 6 minutes at 9600 baud V.32 with ZMODEM.
I have experienced two problems with PED - has anyone else seen this:
1. With the maximum output of the SB internal audio amplifier fed into
further amplified speakers (4 Watt), I find that I have to set the
volume knobs on the speakers as high as they can go, just to get a
comfortable listening level. Most other SB-aware applications, DOS or
Windows, output a much higher level of sound and work just fine. Maybe
this is just a more realistic simulation of digging out those weak
signals!
2. After exiting from PED, the SB will not generate sound with any
other SB-aware programs. Only solution I've found is to reboot.
If anyone else has noticed this with the Sound Blaster, let me know if
you've found a way around it. If Tack (JE1CKA) is reading this, could
you please pass my observations on to Mas. 73
