Transcriber It turned out that the following problem is caused by the sound settings using Sound Blaster Pro on ThinkPad 600E and not Trasncriber's problem. I have worked out how to use CS4232 on the 600E and don't have the following problems anymore.

Current bugs:
Transcriber works fine on Windows XP and Debian GNU/Linux on my nx9005, but I am having the following problem with Transcriber on my ThinkPad 600E.
I can start Transcriber and I can open files from 'File - New trans' and 'File - Open trans...', but when I try to play sound files (=wav files) with a tab key, a window 'Error: Failed setting format' shows up and the log is as follows:

********************************************
