| Posted by rothwepet disabling the voice ~ but keeping proximity alerts For a 1490t ~ I would like to be able to disable the voice giving directions whilst still having proximity 'bings' for POI road safety alerts. The voices seem to comprise of a .sum file and a .vpm file. I've been wondering whether I can create dummy .sum and .vpm file with nothing in them; if I then 'choose' that language it will leave me with no voice ~ but the proximity alerts. Guidance on this would be much appreciated. Thanks very much. |
| Posted by rothwepet Re: Disabling the voice but keeping proximity alerts I worked out how to do it; downloaded Garmin Voice Studio and instead of recoding my voice, I recorded nothing; just silence. I then downloaded the new file to my 1490t. It's worked to an extent. Unfortunately I think Voice Studio sensed a low recording level and upped it automatically. This has resulted in what I'd wanted to be silence being a loud white noise hiss. Still, on the right track. Next I tried to import a silent WAV file created on Audacity into Voice Studio. I thought that would do the trick and, in theory, I think I was on the right track. Unfortunately, attempting to do that crashed Voice Studio and it now won't work. |

| Posted by turista Disabling the voice but keeping proximity alerts Hi to all, Im also trying to disable the voice but keep proximity alerts. I tryed to creat a silent file with voice studio but it turns into white noise on the Garmin when aproaching the new direction. I tried also to import a silent wav file created on audacity and the voice studio does not recognize the file even using using 16 bit raw PCM audio sampled at 44 kHz. Help would be very apriciated. |
| Posted by guest68 voice Why don't you just plug in the Garmin and open the drive it is in and cut and paste the voice folder to your desktop just in case you want to put it back later? |
| Posted by PeterAAF1com ZUMO 550 Turning OFF Audible Tones in R.L.C. POIs I realize this topic is old. However before I start a new topic I hope someone may be monitoring this. I am using a ZUMO 550. My recent Red Light Camera POIs satarted giving me audible tone warnings in addition to the "Red Light Camera Ahead" .MP3 warning. The Bong Bong is so much louder than any other sounds or voices in the Zumo it is deafening. I have attention tones in the Zumo turned off. How do I eliminate the Attention Tones for the Red Light Camera POIs? Thank You. PeterF |
