Headphone Amp/ Computer Input/Outut Issues
What am I actually supposed to put it on? Back Line IN? All of the channels are selected and SOundforge still won't record the sound that is playing back on my computer. Which setting does it have to be on? I mean I switched it to RECORDING and Stereo Mix, CD VOlume, Line In 1 or 2, and...- Nikos

Headphone Amp/ Computer Input/Outut Issues
I just purchased a FUBAR USB DAC and it plays great. But it interupted my settings that allowed me to record Music/Sound from the INPUT via Soundforge. How do I change the settings or work around this? I want to be able to play a sound on my computer/internet and capture it via Soundforge...- Nikos

Just received Fubar III -- but output problems?
Just received my Fubar III. When I hook it up via USB it plays back my songs from winamp, but for some reason not my Musicmatch. In order to get it to work I switched my volume control settings onto USB speakers, but why doesn't the music play through MUSICMATCH, but yet play through...- Nikos

Low volume from my DVD player
They both risen to capacity and half of my movie/dvds are not really loud enough at all. I mean can hear them, but not nearly as much as I would like. Is their no possible way to increase the volume outside of volume control and my windows media player?- Nikos

Want A Change In Audio Quality: What amp is right?
Yes, I am likely going to get the Fubar III this week. And maybe in months to come I will get the HD650 cable. Would that be an additional and worthy upgrade if I get the FUBAR III?- Nikos

Want A Change In Audio Quality: What amp is right?
To be honest I would rather spend 200-300 dollars as long as it can give me a huge upgrade in sound quality. Fubar III seems like a good choice no? How much would the cables cost in addition to that? I am not familiar with interconnect cables or anything like that to be honest. I'd be...- Nikos

Want A Change In Audio Quality: What amp is right?
Cool, looks like a good deal having both DAC and the Amp. I could easily just connect it via USB right? No additions or needing to take the computer apart right? How do you compare this statistically with lets say an Optmius Output Headphone Jack. In other words, what are the key stats when...- Nikos

Want A Change In Audio Quality: What amp is right?
I listen to everything pretty much. But my source as of now is just a plain headphone out from my mediocre audio and visial OPTIMUS receiver. Just coming straight out of my audio out from my computer (analog). Is this 0404PCI expensive, and is it really going to improve the sound quality by a...- Nikos

Want A Change In Audio Quality: What amp is right?
I own HD580's and I am kind of sick of the way they sound as of now. I mean they sound nice, but I really want a change and improvement in Audio Quality. Currently I use a basic Optimus AudioVisual Receiver Headphone Out hooked up to my computer. What can I purchase so I can get much more...- Nikos
