[DECtalk] WHAT SPEAKERS DOES EVERYONE USE

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

I personally use an M-audio Delta 1010 soundcard. This is a professional 
sound card. I've found, though, that you're going to get occasional hiccups 
no matter what you do. Let's say you're creating an audio file for public 
consumption. While listening to it, you hear a glitch, for instance, a small 
audio cut out. What I always do is to rewind to about the spot where the 
glitch occurred. Then listen. If the glitch happens again in the same way at 
the same location, there's almost certainly a problem with the audio file 
itself which needs investigating. If not, it was almost certainly a simple 
computer sound hiccup.
Jayson
