Hi, I ask this list a couple of days ago what possible solutions to my problem with IBM Simply Speaking Gold headset were. The mic power supplied by the Thinkpad was not sufficient. This problem was solved with an additional power supply (battery operated, between headset and laptop). With that, the mic worked great (e.g. for iphone). Now I tried again to install the voice type software. Actually for the first time, since it doesn't make that much sense without a good mic ;-) Pretty soon after starting the installation process, I got an error saying that the program couldn't play an audio file and that the software will not work without audio support. Well, I've NT4.0+SP3 and latest MWave drivers installed and all MS multimedia apps + Adobe premiere work just great. So I called the IBM help line and asked for advise. After about 2 weeks (I was checking almost daily the state of my problem) they finally told me today that there is an incompatibility between their software and the MWave hardware! That was it! The box of the software even states that it supports an MWave audio card. But no Thinkpad? Are they not even supporting the in-house (i.e. "own") platform. I am really disappointed. "IBM, where do you want to go today?" Carsten
