Lyrics OUT of Sync Revelation
On my laptop, when running on battery power, even though in power settings to run on max performance during battery power, the lyrics slow right down. Plug the power lead in and then it all becomes good.
Is there a fix for this? Stef |

Re: Lyrics OUT of Sync Revelation
Bryant is correct, though he was joking. Laptops normally lower power output when on battery. When plugged in it can use the AC to push the levels up to full power so no limitations.
You are lucky this works, because many laptops are under-powered even with the AC plugged in.

I don't know of any programs designed specifically to run on under-powered lower quality laptops. Hoster is designed to try to use the least amount of processor time possible to prevent overloading the system. However there is no way to design a program to work with a slow sound card or a video card with too little memory. The situation was running on battery rather than A/C. When a laptop goes on battery everything is slowed down because the amount of power fed to each of the items decreases slightly to make the battery last longer. Laptops were originally designed for businessmen who travel and was never designed as an entertainment device. They still are not up to what desktops are capable of and probably never will be. I wouldn't know about your warranty statement as I have never seen that on any of mine. As far as my show machines I built them so I guess they have a lifetime warranty. ![]()

![]() As Dale pointed out, Hoster and other demanding Audio/Video applications can be compromised when the hardware is lacking. CDG Karaoke players contain a special dedicated chip that computes the video images from the RW codes coming from the CDG Disc. Hoster must do this major computation using the computer CPU processor, video chip and VRAM. Over the years from 1996, we have tweaked this "graphic computation" code to its minimal requirements. I can't imagine there is anything else we can do. |

[quote]Of course i purchased a good laptop.[/QUOTE] Actually, after looking, i have better specs on my lappy then the folks at mtu have on theirs. I was just speaking in general terms, about the mobility of laptops vs towers. I dug out my old papers i recieved with my dell. And it clearly states what i mentioned about using it for mobile purposes. And...it says no smoking around my machine either, that will void the warranty as well..even the paid extended ones like i have. If they don't git ya one way...they will the other.... ![]() |
