pure frustration

Hi Dara,

I hope this is not the case but you could have a hardware problem.  The 
newer sound cards are multi-channel sound cards.  A multi-channel card 
should be able to play music and have software speech going at the same 
time.  The older sound cards were single channel and could only handle a 
single task at any given time.  Now if you had speech and music going when 
that was a windows machine, then it's likely a software problem and may 
need you to adjust settings on your sound card; could be you have stuff 
adjusted so that other channels are running at 0% and if that's the case a 
little work with a mixer program should solve that problem.  The rest of 
your questions I'm not yet in a position to answer since I've not yet 
installed gen2 over here, that's a project likely will get done in 2006.
