Default Fine-Tune Audio with RWC Volume

http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...productId=31377

"Did U know that a modern Pocket PC device typically has more than 20 different volume levels? That the built-in volume control that comes with Pocket PC only has 6 levels? RWC Volume gives U control. Now U will be able 2 fine-tune the volume also 2 those low volume levels."

Default Great!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This solves one of my problem. I refused to spend over $100 dollar for an electronic metronome. There are metronome apps for Pocket PC. The only problem is that even the highest volume setting on my Axim is still not loud enough

If this works, Ha! :twisted: How dare Seiko tries to charge so much for a small machine that just blinks and beeps.

drop, I don't understand how this is going to help. AFAICT, it will give you finer-grained volume control, not more than the maximum volume as it is...

And is it just me, or is the abbreviated/IM-speak a little cliche? :?

I pass, my vol is on max or 3/4 most of the time anyways. Other than that, WMP and withMP3 allow finetuning the volume so I don't think I need this utility.

No, it isn't just you.

And it is certainly enough to put me off considering it any further!

I like how they capitalize "U". It makes me feel special inside. Like we are friends on chat, and my friend is pitching me some software... hey wait a minute!

Anyway, I'm going to try it to see if it helps my iPAQs low volume settings. I usually have the volume set to one click above mute and its still pretty loud, especially with headphones.

And, you can skin it. The traffic signal skin looks kinda cool... and of course there are the obligatory "a bunch of shots of some hot chick" skins also. Skins

I think that the freeware SoundToday (my french review here : http://ppcf.mklabs.com/index.php?soft=678 ) can give access to the same volume levels...

I'd be interested to know if this app improves the anemic volume level of the 5400 series iPAQ. Its speaker volume is so pathetic that its nearly impossible to hear in the car while driving.

(The placement of the headphone jack on the bottom of the unit is giving me some problems with my RoadWriter cradle and keyboard in my car. (see the review I wrote on The Gadgeteer.) Until I can resolve this issue by making modifications to the RoadWriter myself, or until revolv Design decides to surface on the web again, I've got a serious issue...)

I just had headphones with built in volume control (sony sells some). Better this way since I don't have to take my iPaq of out my pocket to adjust the volume when I'm listening to mp3's.
