How do I make a 2.1 setup with one volume control?
do you want digital or analog control? for the former, you can just adjust your source's volume (obviously). if you want a physical knob, griffin makes one called the "powermate" if you want analog vol adjustment, you'll need to buy a passive attenuator (sometimes called passive...- tofu

Upgrade from my Xonar STX? Schiit Magni and Modi maybe?
Quote: eh, he rarely games. may as well sell the STX for a quick $150 (while it's still fetching that much) and hop on the external bandwagon instead of investing more $ in opamps and stuff- tofu

Upgrade from my Xonar STX? Schiit Magni and Modi maybe?
Quote: yes, but i bought into the opamp rolling hype, so i don't even remember what the soundcard is SUPPOSED to sound like. i get much less interference though. and i do have a high quality PSU, so that wasn't the issue.- tofu

Wireless speaker setup under $200
Are the promedias the best I can do? I was considering the DIY route, but the cost of an amp, drivers, wireless receiver, and building a sub make it way over $200 for something halfway decent. This seems like one of those times when mass produced is the most cost effective. I just...- tofu

HELP! extremely loud buzzing from speakers when GPU is "active"
hi saw that ny old thread was bumped. I ultimately ended up making better cables, which tamed the buzz a lot, but it was still audible when I raised my gain levels for theater listening I finally ditched the xonar for an odac and everything seems solid, no matter what the gain...- tofu

$1000 for computer audio
too lazy to quote you properly, but no one ever said to go out and buy a $4k rig. i see you're using the term "Audiophile" in a negative tone, so we'll continue this way. external dacs aren't for "audiophiles" only anymore. unless you have been living under a rock the past year, many external...- tofu

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
no one really knows what the new schiit amp/dac sound like, which makes all the hype surrounding them pretty baffling. i guess they're expecting a $99 bifrost. i'd like to say "i'm sure it'll sound just as good, if not better", but who really knows? wait until a few in depth reviews are...- tofu

$1000 for computer audio
very serious. get your priorities straight. you can't have a gaming and audio rig for $1000 unless you're willing to have a "jack of all trades, masters of none" setup. there's a reason most people end up eventually flipping their soundcards for something external. with the price of external...- tofu

Brief Odac impressions
thanks. much easier to adjust from windows volume for me (foobar volume control would leave everything else blaring loud). unfortunately I can't control the volume physically with a knob from my desk. every channel has its own level with my amp/crossover setup. I was considering buying a...- tofu

while using WASAPI, should I be adjusting volume via foobar or through the sound mixer (win8)? or does it not matter? or would the best solution be to buy a passive analog attenuator?- tofu
