[RTTY] 2Tone problems

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Windows XP or Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8?

XP allows applications to directly control the hardware mixer in the
sound card.  This means that applications with "fight" over levels.

Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 have a hardware abstraction layer (HAL)
meaning that each application controls only a "virtual" audio device.

If you're still using XP, get rid of it ... Microsoft will abandon it
completely in April and Win 7/8 are far better than XP.

73,

    ... Joe, W4TV
