Vogone 2 upgrade $60 special ends Aug 31st...

Garry... please do pay attention to this. We will not continue the $60 special beyond this month.

If all the audio in a song disappears, then the song was recorded monaural (most older songs were recorded 1-channel) and a mix engineer bridged (duplicated) it to both channels to make it stereo, which is required to place it on an Audio CD. In this case, since all sounds are absolutely identical on both channels, they will exactly cancel each other, creating total silence. You are not loosing your mind... or your ears.

danny_g, I spoke with our programmer on the AMD K6 again. The K6 has 32KBytes of CACHE memory, which is double what the Pentium 2 had. We developed Vogone on a Pentium 2 initially, so we know it runs in 16KBytes of Cache. In the event you were not speaking of the CACHE RAM, we do recommend at least 128MB of system RAM in the computer. Less than this might cause a problem. However, the fact that the K6/K62 only has a 1-pipeline floating point processor versus all other CPU chips (P2, P3, Celeron, Duron, Athelon) have 4-pipeline parallel-procssing floating point processors - AND the fact that Vogone is chock-full of floating point computations - leads us to our diagnosis. Thanks for asking your question so I got deeper info on this.
