Because I'm using WASAPI with Foobar2000, it makes no difference if I turn ON or OFF Windows default sounds? It also does not matter how I setup any of the Windows Sounds settings?- kurt_fire

I thought I read the 1.1s have a leather-like bag included in the package. The 1.0s didn't. Can anyone confirm?- kurt_fire

USB external sound card recommendations w/ a DAC & digital-output. ($0-$150)
Hi guys I am looking for advice in achieving the best 2-channel audio possible from my newly purchased Windows 7 PC. I don't think my new computer can output digital audio, only analog. It has a Sandy Bridge Intel i5 with integrated audio. Probably not the best in terms of sound quality...- kurt_fire

How to set up ASIO w/ AV-710 and Foobar?
Okay I read the guide and have came across a problem. When I go to edit my ASIO Virtual Devices over on the left under the column "Device Channel" it says Not Connected. When I click to bring up the pull down list it only lists a bunch of speaker positions. How do I tell it I want my AV-710...- kurt_fire
