Workaround for Sanako study 1200 tutor v7 window limitations
2013/08/06
Leave a comment
- Problem: Window maximizes only to size of,and location defaults to, primary screen. This is now on windows7.
- Workaround: make the screen whose size you desire the primary (and live with the side effects).

- Downside:
- Screencast recordings of instruction wonât work: Community Clips can only record the primary screen, which is not the screen displayed to students during regular teaching. Windows Media Encoder does not work with our non-standard dual screen configuration on Windows7.

- Because of a misconfiguration, students now always have to make these two changes (on teacher screen) from the default configuration (on student screen) before their Sanako will become operational:

- If you made the default, but wrong choice âLite recorderâ, you will get stuck with this:

- To get out of it, click button:âcloseâand start over.
Saba Centra on startup automatically selects the "microphone" as recording device…

- … But we in the language lab use the (dual function microphone/line-in) "rear input" for our headsets (for ergonomic, health&safety and security reasons). Workaround here.
- Apparently this startup behavior cannot be changed within Saba Centra:
- Any startup will bring up the âAudio Wizardâ asking users, even in a controlled lab environment, to configure their audio devices,
- and if users do (and choose what they have: headset), make wrong assumptions which audio plug to enable (âMicrophoneâ front panel, even if your headset is plugged into the rear panel dual âline-in/microphoneâ)
- The workaround according to these easily Googled instructions is using the âAdvancedâ audio wizard options to override this âAudio Wizardâ error, like so:
- âRe-open the Audio Wizard, go to the third screen and change your recording device in your âRecording Deviceâ menu. Advance two slides and determine if you can hear your recorded voice. â
- 1st screen:
- 3rd screen:
- note the instructions â Click âAdvancedâ. But it is easier to just use from the start our Workaround here.
- 1st screen:
- âRe-open the Audio Wizard, go to the third screen and change your recording device in your âRecording Deviceâ menu. Advance two slides and determine if you can hear your recorded voice. â
- The long-term solution is reconfigure your hardware and disable the front panel audio â but will Saba Centra understand you? Stay tunedâŚ
