This problem appears to be related to Norton AntiVirus 2002 and Sound Control’s Automatically Display Song Title When It Changes option. It has been reported that users of Norton AntiVirus 2001 can run LiveUpdate to download an update so this CPU usage problem does not occur. It is unclear at this stage whether the program causing this problem is NAV2002 or Sound Control. Whilst investigating this problem users of NAV2002 can continue to use Sound Control but the Automatically Display Song Title option must be unchecked / off. This problem also affected NAV2003. It however appears a LiveUpdate in NAV2003 and/or using Winamp v5 seems to solve this problem and the Automatically Display Song Title can be used if required.

It is recommend you use Winamp v2 or Winamp v5 as Winamp 3 does not support the programming interface which Sound Control uses to remotely control Winamp. A 3rd Party has developed an add-in (called Winamp 2 Plugin Manager) for Winamp 3 which emulates the functionality of Winamp 2 which Sound Control requires. After installing this add-in Sound Control will have limited control over Winamp 3.

Testing was carried out 31 October 2002 if a newer version of Winamp 2 Plugin Manager has been released since more support may now be available.

The Winamp 2 Plugin Manager is no longer available - you will need to use Winamp v5+ or v2.

The following hot key functions work:

• Next
• Pause
• Stop
• Fast Forward
• Rewind
• Preferences
• Volume Up
• Volume Down
• Open Winamp
• Loading Of Playlists

The following hot key functions do not work:

• Previous
• Jump To File
• Information
• Fade To Mute
• All options marked *
• On Screen Display Of Song Title

Sound Control will never fully support Winamp 3 it is recommend you use Winamp v5+ or Winamp v2.

Many thanks goes out to the two individuals who have been the first visitors to post to the support forum. As you may or may not be aware both TICK and Sound Control are in the process of undergoing a major rewrite. If you have any suggestions please ensure you post to the relevant forum. You do not need to register to post to the forum if you do not wish too. So all suggestions are available in one location any previous suggestions that have been sent via e-mail should be reposted to the appropriate forum to ensure they are considered. All suggestions will be read but unfortunately it can not be guaranteed that they will all be implemented.

To help reduce the number of e-mails I am receiving so I can concentrate on the development of new releases of TICK, Sound Control and other projects I am pleased to announce the availability of the Support Forums. A separate forum is available for General Support and Suggestions for each application together with a Special Thread detailing Posting Rules. A Guestbook forum is also available so you can express your support and help ensure that Really Effective products stay freeware. If you are a long standing, experienced Sound Control or TICK user and you wish to be considered to be a forum Moderator keep reading. If you have time to spare to check and reply to new messages and follow-ups on a regular / daily basis please let me know together with appropriate details. Details could include number of years you have been a user and other similar qualifications.

This is a known problem and is currently being investigated. The current workaround to solve these issues is to disable multiple device support. You may need to uninstall and then reinstall Sound Control if you are unable to display the Options screen. Please note that uninstalling and reinstalling the application will reset your application settings.

It has taken several months but welcome to the new Really Effective web site. The site is now database driven which will make it easier to update which will lead to more application releases, pro-active information on the status of BETA’s and better support via FAQ’s and a new forum. Over the coming months you can now expect updates to Sound Control and TICK together with hopefully some brand new applications.

You have probably noticed the addition of a Shareware* category in the menu bar. Currently this is empty but the plan is to release a series of brand new applications building on the success of Sound Control and TICK. *It has not been decided whether these new applications will be released as Shareware or not. Since the release of Sound Control and TICK as freeware e-mails containing feedback have been greatly reduced (not the effect I wanted) but downloads of both applications have increased dramatically. The future of Freeware is in your hands.
