Hey guys, I'm experiencing really poor sound quality with my Galaxy Note 4. I noticed through certain speakers if I listen with a regular aux cord, the volume levels fluctuate and it sounds like some frequencies and sounds are missing and not coming through. If I test with the handset that came...

I couldn't really find any consumer opinion on this subwoofer, only the previous discontinued KRK subwoofers - and I am unsure if it would be worth getting. I would be able to purchase it from someone locally for $275.

I just bought a black DacMagic about a week ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a very significant upgrade coming from my Auzentech Forte sound card. My speakers are KRK Rokit RP8G2 studio monitors, which I bought for music and not for mixing. Before getting the DACMagic, I wasn't...

The AudioEngine A2's have quite some bass for being small speakers. It's a little goofy sounding to be honest, but it's there. I haven't heard the Gigaworks speakers, but if I were to take a guess, I'd assume the A2 kills them. They're actually damn good speakers, just don't expect a lot of...

I'm looking for an external DAC with balanced XLR outputs. I've read numerous positive reviews surrounding it but reviews don't really give you the full picture. I'm upgrading from an Auzentech Forte 7.1 Soundcard, which is having interference problems. I want to pull the trigger soon, so I can...

Hey, thanks for the recommendation. Forget about my budget - I'll take any recommendations, as long as the emphasis is on value. I'll take a look at the Boomslang now. By the way, can you point out for me what adapter cable I'd need? From what I can see about the Boomslang, it takes USB too...

So I noticed my KRK Rokit RP8G2s have the high-frequency volume adjust. Since I'm not going to be using my speakers for mixing anytime soon, they're primarily for listening. The room I'm using them is relatively small and completely bare wood and the ground is concrete. I tried using them with...

Download Foobar2000. You'll want your music in the FLAC, APE, or whatever other lossless format your music is available in.

Interesting. Awhile back my Auzentech Forte was becoming noisy, generating 'popping' and clicking noises randomly, and eventually all my music became muffled. I contacted Auzentech and about a week later they gave me an RMA and I sent it back in. They sent me a new one a few weeks later and it's...

Quote: Well, the seller said 'no refunds', but opening a case with Ebay quickly changed his mind. :P   I'm still out $40 because of the Firewire Card and cables though. And thanks for trying to help me guys, got more helpful suggestions here than I did at the M-AUDIO forums. I...

I've already tried it on a different computer I own, one that has a TI Firewire Port built in, at the very least it would be able to recognize it.   And I don't own any other firewire devices.

Quote: Thanks but I already have one. :P         And I went to Radioshack today to return the extra-Firewire cable. I also got a universal AC-Adapter working with the M-Audio Firewire solo. But my computers still fail to recognize it. I'm going to try hooking it up to the...

Quote: I bought it used on Ebay actually. Were there any signs that you screwed the drivers? Was the problem how I described mine?

Quote: No s**t? I'm going to make a run to Radioshack tomorrow. I'll pick up a universal power supply and a 4-pin USB. I need to return some stuff anyways. I hope this works. :D

So I have two active monitors (KRK Rokit RP8G2's) and with them I bought an M-AUDIO Firewire Solo to listen to them with (was recommended to me). But the M-AUDIO Firewire Solo didn't work and I managed to get a refund. So that leaves me wondering - what now? I have these thick XLR to Balanced...

I've tried installing the Firewire Solo the proper way to onto another one of my PCs, a PC which has a 6pin Firewire port built in. Exact same thing. Unless the drivers are just incredibly wonky, I'd say this thing is broken. I opened up a case on Ebay because it's been behaving this way ever...

Hey guys, I recently bought an M-AUDIO Firewire Solo so I could hook my up new KRK Rokits 8G2 to an audio interface, and this ****ing thing doesn't work at all. I went out of the way to buy a PCI Firewire Card with a TI chip and my computer simply doesn't recognize the Solo. The PCI Card looks...

This M-Audio Firewire Pro doesn't work.

Ok cool, thanks for the tip. I don't have the adapter to get power from the wall so I'll try a 6-pin to 6-pin for now.

I actually bought a 6-pin PCI Card with a TI chip because apparently M-Audio highly recommends one. I think I can avoid unplugging and re-plugging when the computer is on, it's not the speakers/DAC are going anywhere for me. :)   And thanks for the tip about the firewire. So as long as the...

I bought a used Firewire Solo which didn't come with any cables, but it did come with the manual. In the manual is recommends to use the provided "high quality firewire cable", or one of equal quality. My speakers come tomorrow so I don't want to order it online, does anyone know of some popular...

Bump - I have another question. My M-AUDIO Pro manual says they highly recommend using the firewall cable it came with due to its high quality. I bought it used so I don't have it. Does it really make a difference - considering the cable is digital and all?

Quote: I decided to wait on the A7s, and opted to get some KRK RP8G2 Rokits. I'm glad you found your Dynaudio's to be a significant upgrade, because I've had people tell me that I shouldn't be looking at studio monitors to upgrade from my A5's, as they were designed only mixing. I don't...

Well, it's too late, I ordered this. I hope it works. :P Thanks for the help

Quote:   ****, really? I don't even know what that is...   Have any recommendations?   EDIT: Where do you even see that? It says in the requirements you can use an onboard firewire port, why can't I use that?
