Well, I do have Skype, and I also have a soft phone called X-lite. Oh my goodness! As I'm typing this, I noticed that X-lite hadn't started… As soon as I started it, the microphone's volume slider jumped back to its original setting. So that is the culprit! I should be able to fix that. Thanks a lot, Marty.

You responded you did not doubt this but did not say what other programs use the sound card on your computer?

Starting WSR is hard coded in the software. So is starting WSRMacros.

We still have not heard of anyone else having the audio settings problem. It is possible other audio functionality that uses your sound system (Media Player, VOiP, Skype) is overriding the settings.

I wouldn't doubt it. That is typically my luck. Hey, I'm not complaining, I could be in a prison camp, or dead. Wink

Did you notice in the Tune Microphone directions where it says WSR (the speech bar) must be restarted after changing the values? Close WSR completely and re-open. If you run Setup the microphone again it will overide the Tune Microphone settings.
 
Quote Another thing I should mention is that WSRToolkit never did start WSRMacros. Not for me, anyway. I had to put WSRMacros in the startup folder before it would run at boot time.
I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem?

I don't know whether it's documented anywhere, but you have to turn off "Run At Startup" in the Windows Speech Recognition options and allow the ToolKit to start speech recognition before its settings take precedence. I figured this out after a couple of days noticing that my speech recognition would start out faulty, but after quitting it and then restarting, it would be fine.
Are you saying if WSR starts before WSRToolkit, the Tune Microphone settings do not apply?
 
Starting WSRToolkit also starts WSRMacros which is necessary to create macros.
