Thanx for the advice again,

First, I haven't been able to get that to work correctly in Frodo, because the Navi software controls the master wave volume, just like the front end.

Next, if by chance I am using the Radio on my car stereo, and not piping in the computer sound, I can't hear the voice prompts. What if I am listening to the news, or Radio disney for the kids, I won't be able to hear the computers voice prompts. With a seperate sound card, I can run a small external speaker under the dash, and hear all the prompts. I can also interface it in to the cell mute function of my stereo, so that the stereo mutes and I can hear the voice prompt. In this way I don't have to "Project" over the music, it will mute the stereo, and music even if it is coming from the computer, and the second speaker will provide the prompts.

Thanx
Michael
