You can use Sound Recorder to play and record sound—or you can use Media Player or
other Windows compatible sound applications.
Playing and Recording Sounds
To adjust the volume or mix of sounds while recording or playing, double-click the
speaker symbol in the taskbar, then drag individual controls or select individual options.
Hint If you want to play back or record one of several sound sources—or if you want to mix
several sources—use the Volume-Mixer Control from OmniBook Tools.
You can leave the Volume-Mixer Control window open while you run your sound
software and use them to quickly adjust the volume and mix.
1. Connect any external sound or input sources—such as connecting a microphone or
stereo signal line to the corresponding input jack.
2. Optional: Open the volume and mixer controls—double-click the OmniBook Tools
icon in Program Manager (in the Main group), then click Sound and Volume And
Mixer.
3. Start Sound Recorder—in the Sound window, click Sound Recorder. In Sound
Recorder, press F1 to get operating information.
