Title: Two issues with Phatnoise, Media Manager...
Post by: firedriver23 on February 27, 2008, 03:53:27 PM
My Windows Vista Laptop will not recognize my DMS cradle when I plug it into the USB Port. Anything I can do to work around this???

My Media Manager software only has Microsoft Sam for a voice prompt. Cant stand Microsoft Sam.  How do I add more voices??


Thanks...

I think you probably have the USB 1.1 cradle right?  I think someone posted some hacked vista capable drivers for it on here some place.  do a search for vista driver and see if you can find them.

also you'll need to get a speech engine that isn't the sucky one from microsoft.  theres AT&T Natural Voices and a few others out there (scanspeak etc) so do some research on these forums and you'll find some answers.

Yes, I have the USB 1.1 cradle. Could not find any hacked Vista capable drivers.  I have an XP Desk Top Computer, I guess I'll just use that. Thanks anyway judb . Why doesn't Microsoft issue a simple download to add more speech engines? That would work for me.

I think there may be Vista x86 drivers... but not x86_64 - so if you have 64-bit you'll need to find a USB 2.0 cradle or stick with XP (vista sucks blah blah blah vista is the devil)

Hmm I don't actually see that either.  I could have been wrong about that.

Was it the PhatHack drivers that I released that worked under Vista? 
I can't remember if I tested them under Vista or not....
