Windows Forum / Outlook Express / Stationery / February 2004How to prevent double sound?
I know this is a very basic question but I can't figure it out. When viewing stationery with asf/wma sound, I hear two sound files playing at once, one slightly delayed (like an echo). I only hear the echo when I open the stationery in the full mode. Here's what I do. I double click the stationery to open in full mode. It displays in a half window and I select the Maximize icon on the upper right of the window. The stationery is now displayed full screen and displays correctly but I hear two sound files. Thanks for the help. Mac Hi Mac, Turn off the Preview pane before you double click on the header. If you don't you actually have two instances of the post running at the same time, one in preview pane and one in full screen. Don > I know this is a very basic question but I can't figure it out.

Mac Thanks Don, that did the trick. No more echo. It's curious though that it only happens with some posts. Example: (With Preview Pane ON) If I quickly double click on Uncle Gus's post (Vermilion..), it opens fine and there is no echo in the music. If I quickly double click Roberts (Emily) it will always have an echo. Is it because one is a WMA file and the other an ASF or does it have more to do with one having a quicker connection then the other (therefore actually playing two sound files but both playing at the same time so no echo is heard)? Anomalies like this arouse my curiosity, even though I know almost nothing of html/VB scripting or linking streaming sound files.

Mac "Is it because one is a WMA file and the other an ASF" Hi Mac, The .wma and .asf files essentially the same, you can rename an .asf file to a .wma file and vice versa. I don't get the echo on Gus's post either with the preview pane open, so I assume it has to do with the transmition speed. Don > Thanks Don, that did the trick. No more echo. It's curious though that it Thanks Don, I thought it might be a transmission speed thing. Also for the info on turning off the preview pane. I've only played a little with stationery using ASF/WMA files (only have one song on my page.. lol). I think some of the people I have sent that stationery to may have had the same problem I have. I can tell them how to fix it now. Thanks again.
