Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Since I read the thought-provoking article "Will Digital Sound Speakers make sound boards obsolete?" at http://www.pcworld.com/pcwtoday/article/0,1510,7292,00.html I wondered if this type of hardware would ever be supported by OS/2. Well, it is!. You can now have high-quality sound _without_ a sound card by purchasing just a set of USB speakers that convert digital audio data sent over the usb bus to analog sound. IBM quietly (as usual) released drivers for USB "Digital Speakers". The drivers are available at: http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/os_2comp/labtec/index.htm These drivers require the base usb support, downloadable from: http://service.software.ibm.com/os2ddpak/html/os_2comp/usbbasic/index.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
