As he's redefined "sound" as "signal", I guess he's no longer
connected with audio at all.

signal:

c : a detectable physical quantity or impulse (as a voltage,
current, or magnetic field strength) by which messages or
information can be transmitted.

Are variations in air pressure a detectable physical quantity or not?

3. [n] an electric quantity (voltage or current or field strength)
whose modulation represents coded information about the source from
which it comes

Typical denial of reality "debating trade" tactics.

I call it support.

Doesn't mention sound. Even if it did, equalizers don't work on sound.

Sorry Stephen, but just because you find a definition that isn't the same as
mine doesn't mean that the definition I presented isn't valid. I can find
other definitions for signal at the M-W site that are similar to the one you
presented, but they obviously don't invalidate the one I presented.

Your definition doesn't mention sound either; it gives electro-magnetic
examples. Are semaphore flags signal? Traffic lights?

Microphones don't alter sound. They transform it into electrical signal,
however imperfectly.

Stepehn, if you want to drag this one out with every debating trade trick in
the book, find another player. I'm out of this discussion with you unless
you can straighten out your act and find something interesting to say.

My horse has wings and flies.
