Certain combinations of codec and its parameters could be incorrect (for example max. bitrate of DivX is in its current version limited to 64kbit/s). It is advisable to make a short record and try to play it in WinAmp for ex. If you can hear anything it is OK :-) - support for GemTek FMRadio 21 (USB) - works on Win2000, WinME a Win98 (where is USB port supported) - just install USB radio driver (usbradio.sys) - support for SoundForte SF256-PCP QuadXtreme and SF256-PCS Xtreme Theater 5.1 (www.mediaforte.com.sg) It is necessary to install drivers for the soundcard itself and then MediaForte radio software for it (RadioActive).
