In this document
This document provides a glossary of audio-related terminology, including a list of widely used, generic terms and a list of terms that are specific to Android.
Generic Terms
These are audio terms that are widely used, with their conventional meanings.
Digital Audio
- acoustics
- The study of the mechanical properties of sound, for example how the physical placement of transducers such as speakers and microphones on a device affects perceived audio quality.
- attenuation
- A multiplicative factor less than or equal to 1.0, applied to an audio signal to decrease the signal level. Compare to "gain."
- audiophile
- An audiophile is an individual who is concerned with a superior music reproduction experience, especially someone willing to make tradeoffs (of expense, component size, room design, etc.) beyond what an ordinary person might choose.
- bits per sample or bit depth
- Number of bits of information per sample.
- channel
- A single stream of audio information, usually corresponding to one location of recording or playback.
- downmixing
- To decrease the number of channels, e.g. from stereo to mono, or from 5.1 to stereo. This can be accomplished by dropping some channels, mixing channels, or more advanced signal processing. Simple mixing without attenuation or limiting has the potential for overflow and clipping. Compare to "upmixing."
- Direct Stream Digital, a proprietary audio encoding based on pulse-density modulation. Whereas PCM encodes a waveform as a sequence of individual audio samples of multiple bits, DSD encodes a waveform as a sequence of bits at a very high sample rate. For DSD, there is no concept of "samples" in the conventional PCM sense. Both PCM and DSD represent multiple channels by independent sequences. DSD is better suited to content distribution than as an internal representation for processing, as it can be difficult to apply traditional DSP algorithms to DSD. DSD is used in Super Audio CD (SACD) and in DSD over PCM (DoP) for USB. See the Wikipedia article Digital Stream Digital for more information.
- duck
- To temporarily reduce the volume of one stream, when another stream becomes active. For example, if music is playing and a notification arrives, then the music stream could be ducked while the notification plays. Compare to "mute."
- A hardware module or software data structure that implements First In, First Out queueing of data. In the context of audio, the data stored in the queue are typically audio frames. A FIFO can be implemented by a circular buffer.
- frame
- A set of samples, one per channel, at a point in time.
- frames per buffer
- The number of frames handed from one module to the next at once; for example the audio HAL interface uses this concept.
- gain
- A multiplicative factor greater than or equal to 1.0, applied to an audio signal to increase the signal level. Compare to "attenuation."
- HD audio
- High-Definition audio, a synonym for "high-resolution audio." Not to be confused with Intel High Definition Audio.
- Hz
- The units for sample rate or frame rate.
- high-resolution audio
- There is no standard definition, but high-resolution usually means any representation with greater bit-depth and sample rate than CDs (which are stereo 16-bit PCM at 44.1 kHz), and with no lossy data compression applied. Equivalent to "HD audio." See the Wikipedia article high-resolution audio for more information.
- latency
- Time delay as a signal passes through a system.
- lossless
- A lossless data compression algorithm preserves bit accuracy across encoding and decoding. The result of decoding any previously encoded data is equivalent to the original data. Examples of lossless audio content distribution formats include CDs, PCM within WAV, and FLAC. Note that the authoring process may reduce the bit depth or sample rate from that of the masters. Distribution formats that preserve the resolution and bit accuracy of masters are the subject of "high-resolution audio."
- lossy
- A lossy data compression algorithm attempts to preserve the most important features of media across encoding and decoding. The result of decoding any previously encoded data is perceptually similar to the original data, but it is not identical. Examples of lossy audio compression algorithms include MP3 and AAC. As analog values are from a continuous domain, whereas digital values are discrete, ADC and DAC are lossy conversions with respect to amplitude. See also "transparency."
- mono
- One channel.
- multichannel
- See "surround sound." Strictly, since stereo is more than one channel, it is also "multi" channel. But that usage would be confusing.
- mute
- To (temporarily) force volume to be zero, independently from the usual volume controls.
- overrun
- An audible glitch caused by failure to accept supplied data in sufficient time. See Wikipedia article buffer underrun [sic; the article for "buffer overrun" describes an unrelated failure]. Compare to "underrun."
- panning
- To direct a signal to a desired position within a stereo or multi-channel field.
- Pulse Code Modulation, the most common low-level encoding of digital audio. The audio signal is sampled at a regular interval, called the sample rate, and then quantized to discrete values within a particular range depending on the bit depth. For example, for 16-bit PCM, the sample values are integers between -32768 and +32767.
- ramp
- To gradually increase or decrease the level of a particular audio parameter, for example volume or the strength of an effect. A volume ramp is commonly applied when pausing and resuming music, to avoid a hard audible transition.
- sample
- A number representing the audio value for a single channel at a point in time.
- sample rate or frame rate
- Number of frames per second; note that "frame rate" is thus more accurate, but "sample rate" is conventionally used to mean "frame rate."
- sonification
- The use of sound to express feedback or information, for example touch sounds and keyboard sounds.
- stereo
- Two channels.
- stereo widening
- An effect applied to a stereo signal, to make another stereo signal which sounds fuller and richer. The effect can also be applied to a mono signal, in which case it is a type of upmixing.
- surround sound
- Various techniques for increasing the ability of a listener to perceive sound position beyond stereo left and right.
- transparency
- The ideal result of lossy data compression, as stated in the Transparency Wikipedia article. A lossy data conversion is said to be transparent if it is perceptually indistinguishable from the original by a human subject.
- underrun
- An audible glitch caused by failure to supply needed data in sufficient time. See Wikipedia article buffer underrun. Compare to "overrun."
- upmixing
- To increase the number of channels, e.g. from mono to stereo, or from stereo to surround sound. This can be accomplished by duplication, panning, or more advanced signal processing. Compare to "downmixing."
- virtualizer
- An effect that attempts to spatialize audio channels, such as trying to simulate more speakers, or give the illusion that various sound sources have position.
- volume
- Loudness, the subjective strength of an audio signal.
Hardware and Accessories
These terms are related to audio hardware and accessories.
Inter-device interconnect
These technologies connect audio and video components between devices, and are readily visible at the external connectors. The HAL implementor may need to be aware of these, as well as the end user.

The major audio-related
Bluetooth profiles
Bluetooth protocols
are described at these Wikipedia articles:
- A2DP for music
- SCO for telephony
- Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
- DisplayPort
- Digital display interface by VESA.
- High-Definition Multimedia Interface, an interface for transferring audio and video data. For mobile devices, either a micro-HDMI (type D) or MHL connector is used.
- Intel HDA
- Intel High Definition Audio (commonly shortened to HDA) is a specification for, among other things, a front-panel connector. Not to be confused with generic "high-definition audio" or "high-resolution audio."
- Mobile High-Definition Link is a mobile audio/video interface, often over micro-USB connector.
- phone connector
- A mini or sub-mini phone connector connects a device to wired headphones, headset, or line-level amplifier.
- SlimPort
- An adapter from micro-USB to HDMI.
- Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format is an interconnect for uncompressed PCM. See Wikipedia article S/PDIF.
- Thunderbolt
- Thunderbolt is a multimedia interface that competes with USB and HDMI for connecting to high-end peripherals.
- Universal Serial Bus. See Wikipedia article USB.
Intra-device interconnect
These technologies connect internal audio components within a given device, and are not visible without disassembling the device. The HAL implementor may need to be aware of these, but not the end user.
See these Wikipedia articles:
Audio Signal Path
These terms are related to the signal path that audio data follows from an application to the transducer, or vice-versa.
- Analog to digital converter, a module that converts an analog signal (continuous in both time and amplitude) to a digital signal (discrete in both time and amplitude). Conceptually, an ADC consists of a periodic sample-and-hold followed by a quantizer, although it does not have to be implemented that way. An ADC is usually preceded by a low-pass filter to remove any high frequency components that are not representable using the desired sample rate. See Wikipedia article Analog-to-digital converter.
- Application processor, the main general-purpose computer on a mobile device.
- codec
- Coder-decoder, a module that encodes and/or decodes an audio signal from one representation to another. Typically this is analog to PCM, or PCM to analog. Strictly, the term "codec" is reserved for modules that both encode and decode, however it can also more loosely refer to only one of these. See Wikipedia article Audio codec.
- Digital to analog converter, a module that converts a digital signal (discrete in both time and amplitude) to an analog signal (continuous in both time and amplitude). A DAC is usually followed by a low-pass filter to remove any high frequency components introduced by digital quantization. See Wikipedia article Digital-to-analog converter.
- Digital Signal Processor, an optional component which is typically located after the application processor (for output), or before the application processor (for input). The primary purpose of a DSP is to off-load the application processor, and provide signal processing features at a lower power cost.
- Pulse-density modulation is a form of modulation used to represent an analog signal by a digital signal, where the relative density of 1s versus 0s indicates the signal level. It is commonly used by digital to analog converters. See Wikipedia article Pulse-density modulation.
- Pulse-width modulation is a form of modulation used to represent an analog signal by a digital signal, where the relative width of a digital pulse indicates the signal level. It is commonly used by analog to digital converters. See Wikipedia article Pulse-width modulation.
- transducer
- A transducer converts variations in physical "real-world" quantities to electrical signals. In audio, the physical quantity is sound pressure, and the transducers are the loudspeaker and microphone. See Wikipedia article Transducer.
Sample Rate Conversion
- downsample
- To resample, where sink sample rate < source sample rate.
- Nyquist frequency
- The Nyquist frequency, equal to 1/2 of a given sample rate, is the maximum frequency component that can be represented by a discretized signal at that sample rate. For example, the human hearing range is typically assumed to extend up to approximately 20 kHz, and so a digital audio signal must have a sample rate of at least 40 kHz to represent that range. In practice, sample rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are commonly used, with Nyquist frequencies of 22.05 kHz and 24 kHz respectively. See Nyquist frequency and Hearing range for more information.
- resampler
- Synonym for sample rate converter.
- resampling
- The process of converting sample rate.
- sample rate converter
- A module that resamples.
- sink
- The output of a resampler.
- source
- The input to a resampler.
- upsample
- To resample, where sink sample rate > source sample rate.
Android-Specific Terms
These are terms specific to the Android audio framework, or that may have a special meaning within Android beyond their general meaning.
- Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. As the name suggests, it is an audio framework primarily for Linux, but it has influenced other systems. See Wikipedia article ALSA for the general definition. As used within Android, it refers primarily to the kernel audio framework and drivers, not to the user-mode API. See tinyalsa.
- audio device
- Any audio I/O end-point that is backed by a HAL implementation.
- AudioEffect
- An API and implementation framework for output (post-processing) effects and input (pre-processing) effects. The API is defined at android.media.audiofx.AudioEffect.
- AudioFlinger
- The sound server implementation for Android. AudioFlinger runs within the mediaserver process. See Wikipedia article Sound server for the generic definition.
- audio focus
- A set of APIs for managing audio interactions across multiple independent apps. See Managing Audio Focus and the focus-related methods and constants of android.media.AudioManager.
- AudioMixer
- The module within AudioFlinger responsible for combining multiple tracks and applying attenuation (volume) and certain effects. The Wikipedia article Audio mixing (recorded music) may be useful for understanding the generic concept. But that article describes a mixer more as a hardware device or a software application, rather than a software module within a system.
- audio policy
- Service responsible for all actions that require a policy decision to be made first, such as opening a new I/O stream, re-routing after a change, and stream volume management.
- AudioRecord
- The primary low-level client API for receiving data from an audio input device such as microphone. The data is usually in pulse-code modulation (PCM) format. The API is defined at android.media.AudioRecord.
- AudioResampler
- The module within AudioFlinger responsible for sample rate conversion.
- audio source
- An audio source is an enumeration of constants that indicates the desired use case for capturing audio input. As of API level 21 and above, audio attributes are preferred.
- AudioTrack
- The primary low-level client API for sending data to an audio output device such as a speaker. The data is usually in PCM format. The API is defined at android.media.AudioTrack.
- audio_utils
- An audio utility library for features such as PCM format conversion, WAV file I/O, and non-blocking FIFO, which is largely independent of the Android platform.
- client
- Usually same as application or app, but sometimes the "client" of AudioFlinger is actually a thread running within the mediaserver system process. An example of that is when playing media that is decoded by a MediaPlayer object.
- Hardware Abstraction Layer. HAL is a generic term in Android. With respect to audio, it is a layer between AudioFlinger and the kernel device driver with a C API, which replaces the earlier C++ libaudio.
- FastCapture
- A thread within AudioFlinger that sends audio data to lower latency "fast tracks" and drives the input device when configured for reduced latency.
- FastMixer
- A thread within AudioFlinger that receives and mixes audio data from lower latency "fast tracks" and drives the primary output device when configured for reduced latency.
- fast track
- An AudioTrack or AudioRecord client with lower latency but fewer features, on some devices and routes.
- MediaPlayer
- A higher-level client API than AudioTrack, for playing either encoded content, or content which includes multimedia audio and video tracks.
- media.log
- An AudioFlinger debugging feature, available in custom builds only, for logging audio events to a circular buffer where they can then be dumped retroactively when needed.
- mediaserver
- An Android system process that contains a number of media-related services, including AudioFlinger.
- An abstraction for "non-blocking" audio input/output ports used within AudioFlinger. The name can be misleading, as some implementations of the NBAIO API actually do support blocking. The key implementations of NBAIO are for pipes of various kinds.
- normal mixer
- A thread within AudioFlinger that services most full-featured AudioTrack clients, and either directly drives an output device or feeds its sub-mix into FastMixer via a pipe.
- OpenSL ES
- An audio API standard by The Khronos Group. Android versions since API level 9 support a native audio API that is based on a subset of OpenSL ES 1.0.1.
- silent mode
- A user-settable feature to mute the phone ringer and notifications, without affecting media playback (music, videos, games) or alarms.
- SoundPool
- A higher-level client API than AudioTrack, used for playing sampled audio clips. It is useful for triggering UI feedback, game sounds, etc. The API is defined at android.media.SoundPool.
- Stagefright
- See Media.
- StateQueue
- A module within AudioFlinger responsible for synchronizing state among threads. Whereas NBAIO is used to pass data, StateQueue is used to pass control information.
- strategy
- A grouping of stream types with similar behavior, used by the audio policy service.
- stream type
- An enumeration that expresses a use case for audio output. The audio policy implementation uses the stream type, along with other parameters, to determine volume and routing decisions. Specific stream types are listed at android.media.AudioManager.
- tee sink
- See the separate article on tee sink in Audio Debugging.
- tinyalsa
- A small user-mode API above ALSA kernel with BSD license, recommended for use in HAL implementations.
- ToneGenerator
- A higher-level client API than AudioTrack, used for playing DTMF signals. See the Wikipedia article Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling, and the API definition at android.media.ToneGenerator.
- track
- An audio stream, controlled by the AudioTrack or AudioRecord API.
- volume attenuation curve
- A device-specific mapping from a generic volume index to a particular attenuation factor for a given output.
- volume index
- A unitless integer that expresses the desired relative volume of a stream. The volume-related APIs of android.media.AudioManager operate in volume indices rather than absolute attenuation factors.

There is not a lot of choice in Lockhart, and we were very happy with the stay at the Best Western. Room price was more than what we would expect to pay for the hotel, but given the limited selection and last minute reservation, we were satisfied with the value. The hotel was clean and the breakfast offered both hot and cold options. It was odd having a jacuzzi tub in the corner of the room. ...

A better fix is to capture and prosecute all persons who ever did this and throw the Computer crimes book at them putting the in prison for decades. Following up have Congress do a deep probe of all such criminal activity of the NSA and monitor it heavily to reduce any and all such future behavior.

Will this camellia survive? :(
Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with this and give me advice on what to do.
I live in northeast Georgia (zone 7). At my old house, my great grandmother had planted a Japanese camellia beside our porch where it has flourished for many years. We recently leased the house to a guy who took the liberty to try to get rid of the plant DESPITE our telling him NOT to change anything on the property outside of the house without permission first. He "pruned" it back to a stump about 6" high. Nothing more.
My mother is devastated. That camellia is one of the very few material possessions she has left to remind her of her grandmother...so naturally I am desperate to see if there is anything I can do to help preserve it if it is in any danger.
Will this camellia survive such a severe pruning at this time of year? Is there something I can/should do to help it? And if it survives, is there a way I can move it? My mom used to make trips to our old house just TO check on that plant...so given this recent turn of events, if the plant makes it through this drastic pruning I'd really like to transplant it here at our new house for her.
If anyone can help me with this, I would be most appreciative! Much thanks in advance!
As long as the roots are still alive & kicking and assuming they get the proper soil moisture, amendments (if any) and sunlight, it has a chance and it will be up to the shrub.
Not now, but later on, I would eventually give it a slow-release fertilizer high in nitrogen and potassium, low in phosphorus (no need to feed for blooms now). After that, I would use one high in potassium and less nitrogen. Probably stop all fertilizers about 2 months before your average date of first frost. A slow-release fertilizer (usually organic ones should last for 2-3 months per application. I would not fertilize during the winter months but I would provide some water every week or every two weeks if it is a dry winter.
An alternative: alfalfa, alfalfa tea and alfalfa meal all contain triacontanol, a natural root stimulant. You can use this to stimulate root growth that will indirectly trigger some above the ground growth.
But give it some time to recover from the shock before starting with any fertilizers. Kepp the soil moist but not wet; keep it well mulched and wait and see if it starts on its own first.

I have 2 questions as I am looking into getting my equipment soon and want little oop and less hassle with storage/sanitation.
1. For dry hopping in a primary, what is the best method?
2. Do you need a 2nd bucket (I'm going for 5gal. Batches) for bottling, or can you bottle from the primary?
My answer will actually cover both #1 and #2, sooooo:
It's best to check the schedule of your brew before determining dry-hop schedules. In other words, let's say you have a brew that's scheduled to ferment for 4 weeks with 1 week dry-hopping. With my experience, you want no more than 7 days to dry-hop, so that would mean 3 weeks in primary, rack to a secondary, then dry-hop for 7 days before bottling/kegging. I'm not too big on using secondaries unless I dry hop.
As for methodology, it all depends on whether you use whole, plug or pellet hops. If you're using whole, then avoid using any sort of carboy at ALL COSTS!! (Speaking from experience here...2 lbs. of whole hops into a carboy...that was bad times...) Pellet & plugs (to a lesser extent) are the easiest to dry-hop with, and standard buckets make it an absolute cakewalk. Your best option is to get at least 2 plastic fermenter buckets, both with a spigot, and 1 for bottling (only if you bottle).
I always add the pellets first and rack on top of them. This gets them mixed in with the beer sooner and allows them to "disintegrate." the pellets will form a green layer on top and look a little funky. This is normal.
Get a big strainer bag or pantyhose to go over your racking cane/autosiphon when you transfer to the bottling bucket to keep the hop sludge from getting in your beer.
Good luck and Enjoy!

Couldn't decide between ghd iv or v, but decided to go with iv like my previous styler. Really pleased with these, they do a much better job than my old ones (which were about 7 years old) my really thick frizzy hair seems to stay straight for longer. Would highly recommend. December 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mojo8610 Brilliant I bought these mk4's for my teenage daughter who has long thick, almost straight hair and these straighteners are brilliant at creating shiny straight, healthy looking hair. She uses a thermal heat protection spray before using the ghd's and having tried them out myself I want some too! my sometimes frizzy hair stayed 3 day straight for the first time ever using straighteners! They simply glide through the hair without snagging and are very light and easy to use. Brilliant! I thoroughly recommend these mk4's December 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by r4ch Perfect. Love these straighteners, they are reliable, quick to heat up and effective. It is no hassle to transform my thick frizzy hair into either a smooth and tidy or a curly and ready to party style. December 28, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiddlers The best of the best I had my last ghd straightners for 11 years, so it was a no brainer to make sure that they were replaced by by another set of ghd's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by soozandhuw New User I never knew what all the GHD fuss was about until I actually got to use my own. My daughter said how smooth they were on your hair, no tugging. I have bleached hair, a short at the back , long at the front style. I need to straighten daily. Today I'm rocking a FANTASTICALLY straightened style, by GHD.

Heat will retire Mourning's jersey
Updated: February 28, 2009, 8:09 PM ETAssociated Press
MIAMI -- Alonzo Mourning's jersey will soon hang over the Miami Heat's home floor.
The Heat will retire Mourning's No. 33 in a halftime ceremony March 30, when Miami hosts the Orlando Magic. His will be the first Heat jersey to be retired by the team, which has previously put the numbers of Michael Jordan and Dan Marino on the arena wall.
But it's long been Miami's plan to make Mourning the first Heat player to receive the honor.
"It's fitting that he has the first jersey retired ...

Louis Mondestin Florvil Hyppolite (1828–1896) was the President of Haiti from 17 October 1889 to 24 March 1896. He was a career soldier, a general. He was installed as president by a constitutional council. He was reportedly under the influence of Victoire Jean-Baptiste, mistress of his successor Tirésias Simon Sam.
Hyppolite died of a heart attack while in office, on a trip to address a civilian revolt in the city of Jacmel. A tale of Haitian folklore describes how Hyppolite's hat fell off his head before arriving to Jacmel that day, something that was considered a bad omen among everyday Haitians. The incident is remembered in the Haitian children song "Panama M' Tombé", which is still sung to this day.

T shirt Necklace
By: Jennifer Juniper for Hope Studios
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Want to make this fun necklace? Get to work cleaning your closets and save some old t-shirts and you will have "shopped" for all the supplies you will need. This thrifty jewelry craft will have all the moms wondering how you did it.
- 100% Cotton T-shirts
- Scissors
- Remove the hem from the bottom of your t-shirts, then cut 1 inch wide strips from the bottom of the shirts.
- I worked with 15 strips for this project, you can adjust this according to how thick you'd like the necklace to be. (The strips are actually rings since you are cutting the bottom through both layers.) You will eventually double these rings, so 15 strips turns into 30.
- Once you have cut all your strips, S-T-R-R-R-E-E-E-T-C-H each one. This will cause them to roll on the sides and elongate them to twice the length.
- After stretching, lay them one on top of the other. Try to stack with the seams together.
- Holding your rings with the seams in each hand, twist (in a figure 8 kind of shape) to double the rings. Now the seams from both ends will all be together and the necklace will be half as long and twice as thick.
- Using an extra strip of t-shirt, wrap the section where the seams have come together, as shown here, to bind the whole stack. Like this:
- Pull it over your head... See how cute? How inexpensive? How customizable? The sky is the limit on the color combinations and thickness!

The moniker, Jennifer Juniper, is what made me look at your stuff. My bff adopted that as her "nickname" and she was taken tragically and early from this world. You have neat ideas that she would have also loved.
I love it! How clever and easy. Now I know what to do with all of those old t's.
What a great craft! I am going to try it as soon as I collect the t-shirts.
I love this web site.so glad I found it. Got some cool stuff on here. Thanks
After reading the comments, I think selection of the T-shirt fiber and weight of knit make a difference. Everyone is having a different experience. Keep trying and keep updating your results until we get it right. Do cheap work better? Heavy or light or medium? Momforever
This is a fantastic web site
the t-shirt necklace is soooo cool! i love to make necklaces but i'm not so great at beading, now i can have a cool handmade necklace without having to bead!
Hi I love this idea! Looks great! I've now tried 100% cotton and a cotton poly blend and it just won't do the curling. Any suggestions?? Thanks -

New Bosch DW not drying
model shx7er55uc......Ive done about 5 or 6 loads now on normal and even leaving them overnight dishes are wet. I have to take a towel to almost every one. Manual just says to use rinse agent or switch to another cycle....another cycle?! Dishes won't dry on the NORMAL cycle? What gives? Thanks for any help!
I looked at the instruction manual and it seems that the final rinse temp varies. Today you do need to use rinse aid to achieve good drying results as there is no exposed element in the dishwasher. I would personally use the auto wash program as it has a higher final rinse temp. You can also activate intensive drying in the menu.
Hope this helps
I had similar issues when I first got my Bosch. We have the Bosch SHX58E15UC and I'm quite happy with it. I've run had it since last May (replacing a Kitchenaid KUDE60 that vented in to my cabinetry) and have had absolutely no issues. It cleans wonderfully, it is quiet, and even though it is technically smaller than the KUDE60 I had, I have had no issues fitting anything. I have Fiestaware and it fits beautifully.
One thing I recommend is reading your manual thoroughly. I apparently do not need to add salt, as my water isn't hard enough (according to the test strip supplied with the unit). Also, most of the variables (water softener, jet dry, intensive drying) are factory set to "OFF". One important one is "INTENSIVE DRYING". This helps with drying, and I had turned it on last night for the second load and it definitely helped. Here are the instructions supplied with my machine if anyone needs them. Your machine may vary, but check the manual.
Intensive drying
The final rinse uses a higher temperature which improves the drying result.
The running time may increase slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!)
? Open the door. (for hidden controls only). Turn unit on using the ON/OFF button.
Hold down "A" button and press START the digital display shows "H:00".
? Release both buttons.
? Press button "A" until the display indicates "d:00"
To change the setting,
? Press button "C" (see page 4) to turn intensive drying ON = d:01 or OFF = d:00
? Press START button. The set value is saved.
? Close the door (for hidden controls only).
we have that exact model. as has been noted above, it is good to make sure you have the softener set up properly to handle your water. (ours too turned out to not be hard enough to require it, so we have left it off for now)
with our relatively soft water (about 4 grains/gal), a jet dry setting of 1 or 2 works very well.
i found the best drying occurs if you crack the dishwasher open once it's done cleaning to let the steam escape. not necessary, but that gives the best drying. i find that only plastics or concave surfaces have issues of being wet in general. (we have yet to use the intensive drying feature)
finally, be sure to check what the temp of your hot water is. our is at 125 which is about what Bosch recommends if i recall correctly.
Hi, Joanie. We, too, have the same dishwasher, but have had no problems with dishes being dry. A couple of thoughts.
1. I'm not sure that Jet Dry is critical to getting dishes dry. It's primary function, as I understand it, is to prevent streaking and spots. But more importantly, our dishwasher dries dishes just fine without Jet Dry. Let me explain.
We went through a time when our cycle lengths suddenly jumped by about 30 minutes. Then we noticed that the "add drying agent" light was on. When we added it, the cycle times went back to normal. In the interim, though, the dishes dried just fine. (We're not sure what happened during those extra minutes. We did notice that the DW seemed to just "sit there" for the last 20 minutes or so.)
2. Someone, I think it was Plllog, posted a while back about not being a good candidate for European dishwashers because of not having a critical mass of metal and glass items in the dishwasher. These dishwashers rely evaporation, using the heat from the last rinse water. Glass and metal items retain heat from the last rinse; plastic items don't. So one potential explanation might come from the mix of items being washed.
On the other hand, it just might be the unfortunate case that something is not right with the specific unit that was delivered to you. Can you get your seller to send someone out to check it out?
Rinse aid does help with drying ... it deals with spots/streaking by reducing surface tensions of the water so the remaining moisture "spreads out" over the dishware suface (and interior of the machine's tub) and runs down/off instead of pooling into drops ... which also is how it increases drying performance.
Finish has a "turbo" rinse/drying aid that really works great for the euro style no added heat dry systems and / or plastic tub dishwashers.
Indeed, the "normal" cycle does not necessarily get the dishes dry. The "normal" cycle is for getting the Energy Star rating and having good stats for comparisons. The only cycle on my Monogram that dries everything in my not good for convection dry loads that Kashmi referred to, is Plastics, Added Heat, Heated Dry. I don't know what the difference between Plastics and the other cycles is, exactly. It's supposed to have a different pattern of washing and drying or something. The plastics do dry with it, as does everything else. They don't on other cycles, at all.
It's metal and crockery you need to hold the heat for Euro drying. Glass is kind of neutral. Doesn't hurt, but doesn't help. Heavier ceramic or stoneware dishes which have more mass than my porcelain are better too, and if you have a heavy pot or two that will help.
You do need the Jet Dry to break the surface tension of the water. It's a surfactant, that is, a soap. The "sheeting action" they advertise. Without it, water can mound in thick superdrops that cling to the sides of the glasses, etc. By breaking the surface tension, the water falls down instead of mounding, and also doesn't cling as well, so there aren't drops to be evaporated, just wet. Theoretically, you don't need the liquid rinse aid if you're using tablets or packets. Those are supposed to have it built in. That might not be enough, however.
There also seems to be a certain amount of wear in time for dishwashers. Mine dries a lot better now than it did when it was new. I don't know why this is, because I haven't changed anything. That's why I think it's a wear in thing. There may be some benefit of some kind of residue or something. Or it could be an illusion. I'm not sure on that part.
Just installed a Bosch SHE55.. and it does a pretty good job of drying. The plastic items are not always perfectly dry, but anything that holds heat does OK. There was a plastic sign tie wrapped into the dishwasher that says:
"For up to 45% dryer dishes:
1. Always use Rinse Aid
2. Use Auto Cycle
3. Press Sanitize button"
So far we have only done the first two and have not used the Sanitize button.
We just installed a Bosch SGE63E1 and drying is really a mixed bag - the non-plastic items always seem to be perfectly dry (except for the very tops of cups/glasses right after the cycle finishes) but the plastic items are almost always fairly damp to quite dewy. I have the "enhanced drying" set on (for higher water temps during rinse IIRC), and rinse-aid set quite low. Thanks to the built-in softener everything is coming out absolutely clean and spotless. But the wet plastic is a bit perplexing.

Wetlands provide a multitude of ecological, economic and social
benefits. They provide habitat for fish, wildlife and a variety of
plants. Wetlands are nurseries for many saltwater and freshwater
fishes and shellfish of commercial and recreational importance.
Wetlands are also important landscape features because they hold and
slowly release flood water and snow melt, recharge groundwater,
recycle nutrients, and provide recreation and wildlife viewing
opportunities for millions of people.
Wetlands Mapper integrates digital map data with other
resource information to produce timely and relevant
management and decision support tools. Data can also be
downloaded by HUC 8 Watershed Boundary or by State.

'Download by Watershed' capability is now implemented in the Wetlands Mapper. By using the Tools menu, users can interactively select HUC8 Watersheds to download wetlands and wetlands related layers for that area. For more information visit our data download page at:
Status and Trends of Prairie Wetlands Report Released
The Status and Trends of Prairie Wetlands in the United States 1997 to 2009 was released on June 30, 2014. This report estimates that 6,427,350 acres of wetlands remained in the Prairie Pothole Region in 2009, which represents 5.8% of the total wetland area found in the conterminous U.S. in 2009. Between 1997 and 2009, the average annual rate of change was an estimated loss of 6,200 acres and an estimated 40% of emergent wetland area was lost or converted to deepwater lake systems or open-water ponds.
