Need help troubleshooting a vintage Onkyo Amp
I've tried all those things, and none seem to work. I did get sound to come through it finally. I hooked the tuner up to an input on the back called "main in." This input seems to be a passthrough of some sort though, because the volume control on the amp doesn't work. I'm assuming it's just...- TristanFC

Need help troubleshooting a vintage Onkyo Amp
Hello, I have an Onkyo A-10, which I am planning to run my computer through as well as the T-9 tuner that goes with it. I just moved it to my house recently, and it worked fine before I moved it. I set it up here and I get no sound. The lights come on and everything, but there's no output on the...- TristanFC

AV-710 in Linux, High Quality output not working.
I finally got the output working by messing withe the controls in alsamixer, but was having to do alsactl restore every time I restarted as well. However, the result was sort of flakey. Sometimes it would stop working, and sometimes it would not work right. I attributed it to bad drivers and...- TristanFC

Hi-MD vs. HD vs. PCDP
I've been doing some research on this subject for the past week or so now, and realize I'm going to get a load of "search" replies, but that's okay. Really, I'm just looking for some opinions of people who have owned more than one of the above. Basically, I'm looking for something in the $150...- TristanFC

AV-710 in Linux, High Quality output not working.
Okay, well I gave up on it for a while. But here is what I have: Code: control.7 { comment.access 'read write' comment.type BOOLEAN iface MIXER name 'Surround Playback Switch' value.0 true value.1 true } Nothing seems wrong there to me?- TristanFC

AV-710 in Linux, High Quality output not working.
Yeah I tried looking around in the file and couldn't find anything that looked wrong. All of the values look to be valid. Hmmm is anyone else using alsa 1.08rc2 or something close to it on the 710 who could send me their asound.state file? It would be greatly appreciated.- TristanFC

AV-710 in Linux, High Quality output not working.
I installed Slackware 10 a few days ago, and now have almost everything running smoothly. My soundcard is the last thing I need to figure out. It wasn't working out of the box, so I go the latest version and installed it and got sound working through the stereo channels. However, I want to use...- TristanFC

Looking to upgrade from Bose Triport
I recieved the A500 in the mail yesterday, and they are great. They don't seem to seal as well as the Bose headphones, but they feel more comfortable to me, and sound quality is surely better. The midrange is audible, and the highs are far more clear. Cymbal crashes sound pretty much like...- TristanFC

Looking to upgrade from Bose Triport
Hmmmm MS-1 looks interesting as well. So now it's A500, MS-1, or Senn HD515. I've read good things today about the MS-1 on here. I'll do a bit more research. I exchanged the Bose headphones today, and they took the new ones out of the box as newguy said. I guess I won't be able to get as much as...- TristanFC

Looking to upgrade from Bose Triport
First of all, thanks for the replies everyone. Right now, I'm still leaning toward the A500, though the HD515 look interesting as well. Iron_Dreamer - Congrats on the A64. I was considering one when I got my Xeons, but I got a good deal on the Xeons so I went that way. I've currently got my...- TristanFC

Looking to upgrade from Bose Triport
I've been using a pair of Bose Triport headphones for about 8 or 9 months now, and they sounded pretty good to me. I recently discovered this board, and apparently they sound crap for the money. The plastic on one side of the pair I have broke, so they no longer hold the right size for my head...- TristanFC
