I still use my Zen Vision M as a wake up alarm, it is connected to a tamp in the bedroom. Unfortunately lately the screen has died but the player still works. Can somebody guide me what buttons to press to connect to a TV. I've done it before it should be System → Photo/Video Settings → Video...

It's been years that my default audio player for pc, is Foobar2k, everything is configured perfectly, and I don't bother compare audio players anymore,  some are expensive, some are with no GUI at all, but most of them that claim better sound quality just equalize the sound somehow,   Since...

Hi I've always liked the sound signature of my EMU1212M, very detailed, a bit analytical and a punchy bass, I don't know if this sound is due to the CS4398 DAC chip in the card,  but I really want to try something external, with a similar sound but of course better..   Unfortunately it...

I went to their site for any drivers update, and the domain has expired,  It seems Auzentech is dead, after releasing all those products, boom, dead..? my Prelude is still going strong, but their latest products were  a hit and miss,  RIP Auzentech,

Hi I use Blue Jeans RCA cable LC1, to connect my EMU1212M to amplifier with a TRS to RCA adapter, the cable is great and good quality but when I raise the volume it starts to make a lot of noise especially highs, even picking up mouse movement, this happens at very loud volume which I...

It seems obvious for PC audio that when using an external amplifier for speakers or headphones the master volume should be 100%, and you should control volume by the amplifier, in theory this way should guarantee the best SQ possible, Well this is true for a lot of cards where the max volume...

I want to rename some files in my music library,  basically I want to add "." at the beginning of some files,  I use windows to search for the files, then I select all of them, and at this step I`m blind,   I tried Bulk Rename utility, and other tools, but basically they want all files...

  I usually use Auzentech Prelude spidf out to the receiver, for dts and dolby pasthrough, using an optical cable, everything works fine, Recently I`m trying a coaxial cable from the Prelude to the receiver, cause I want to reserve the optical in for the new sat receiver,   but whatever...

Any music suggestion for my 17days old baby? I know they can`t listen to all the frequencies, but still when I sing to him, he becomes quiet for some time, I found this on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Effect-Newborns-Bright-Beginning/dp/B00004YR74, so classical should be good,

It`s been some time that I usually use Pc audio for music listening, first, its so practical, you rip your cd in lossless, put them in the large Music folder, and then Foobar will do the rest, also the SQ is good, even with onboard audio, is quiet acceptable, but I use some good...

Second listen on this album, I really like their sound and this one is no mistake, Its a growing album, I think it should be served as a whole from start to end,   Don`t miss it!

I'm going to purchase 3  BJC MSA-1 hoping to connect soundcard to receiver,  since the 3.5mm plug should be thick, is it possible to use them side by side? I want 5.1 analog out.. any recommendation?  I live in Europe,

I have to buy a new desktop internal hard disk for my growing music library, I see that the 5400rpm (green) hard drives are really cheaper than the same sized 7200s,   Is it ok to go for the slower ones? Any experience? I`m not using any NAS or htpc, just serial ata2. The OS is in a...

I just bought a pair of old floorstanding speakers, for 20$ or so,   all wood, very heavy, and somehow ugly, mark JH2000, all other labels are gone, the seller told me they`re german, googled but didn`t find anything, does anybody know this manufacturer, I don`t know if I should repair...

Ok, my music is in lossless formats, but since my car cd player supports only mp3 or wma, I  have to convert to these formats, usually I use lame encoder vo to convert to mp3,   Since lately I`m in the mood for some gapless albums like "Tommy", "The Wall", and others, really find disturbimg...

For those who care, check this out, not his best, but good music anyway    

Ok, sorry to bother for non audio quality issues,   I`m using 7x64 with a Samsung 32'' HDTV, I dont remember the time when I gave up using Microsoft WMP, in favor of more tweakable toys like KMPlayer or VLC,   But today I just clicked by mistake a 720p mp4 video file to play with WMP...

It`s been some time of using Repaly Gain as a solution to horrible clipping I hear on some of the new releases, I`m using the last  Alice in Chain as a reference brickwalled album (yea reference!!),   I  tried Advanced limiter, Hard -6dB limiter, in Foobar, but no joy, and I really want to...

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=82420   For all those who don't want to lose playback statistics after formating, or just keep in sync between different pc, now you can export statistics and import them again, usually I had to write statistics to file tags which was...

    To all those who like Dark music, check out this german band..  

OK, never used reply gain, usually I control the amplifer volume by remote, so I can change it as many times as I want, but since I`m hearing a lot of clipping I discovered that RG is a good way to prevent it, as "hard -6dB limiter" plugin doesn`t work for me, I`m just using it with album...

I was listening to Dracula soundtrack performed by the Kronos Quartet, Amazing piece of music, really like the violin playing, Anything similar?

Recently, I changed my old trusty xFi platinum ruined by modding, with an Auzentech Prelude, the later was very good priced, unfortunately, there are crackling and distortion all over music, first I thought was a driver 7 related issue, since I didn`t try in Xp, but when i lower the volume...
