Why can't I hear the voice during voice navigation?
The Voice Navigation systems in DeLorme products are directly dependent on your computer's sound
system for its volume levels.
To Set the Volume Level
If your system is not playing the sound loud enough, use the following steps to verify the Wave volume
control is set to its highest levels.
1. From the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to Multimedia (or
Entertainment depending on your operating system) and then click Volume Control.
OR
If available, click the audio control shortcut on your taskbar.
2. In the Wave column, move the Volume slider to the top.
3. Close the Volume Control dialog box.
If the voice commands are still not loud enough to hear, contact your sound card manufacturer to download
and install the latest driver for your specific model sound card. The new driver may be able to provide
louder output.
There are a variety of external speaker output options for your laptop. Some of them are simply larger
external speakers; others allow you to send the voice to your car stereo cassette deck, if you have one.
Local computer superstores, such as CompUSA, Computer City, Best Buy, etc., have a wide variety of
external sound options that you can consider for your laptop.
