Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 18:57:39 -0500 I wonder then how the Olympus recorders beep and it doesn't interfere at all with the recordings? Granted they don't use firmware, but still, the question remains, and I wish I knew how to get an answer. On the DS-2, the beeps don't disturb anything. Granted it doesn't start recording the instant you press record, but it does start within a quarter second (haven't timed it, guessing). Same with pause/resume record and stop. I'm not sure why it couldn't beep while the record monitor is on, but I don't know anything about the coding that goes into Rockbox. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jens Arnold" <arnold-j_at_t-online.de> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 2:25 PM Subject: Re: Do you use the BEEP feature? > On 13.06.2007, pondlife wrote: > >> I've not tried it, but looking at the code there is some kind >> of recording beeping enabled by the "voice menus" option. > > There is a recording beep - but so far it's *only* for the > hwcodec targets (i.e. Archos recorders and Ondio FM).
