Audio software from Microsoft
MICROSOFT has announced version 2.0 of its Windows Sound System audio software that integrates with any Windows-based application.
For the first time, the Windows Sound System is available in two versions. One includes the software and a microphone and the other includes a Windows Sound System audio board and headphones.
The software version, which supports almost all audio boards, will include drivers for Creative labs, Media Vision, Microsoft and Microsoft-compatible audio boards.
The new version is also compatible with application hardware supporting Sound Blaster.
It also features Microsoft's custom-designed directional microphone that enables accurate voice recognition in a variety of settings.
The Sound System 2.0 includes integrated audio software that allows users to record a voice annotation and proof selected words and numbers without using the keyboard.
