I was hoping to use my Musiland Monitor 02 US on my work computer in a medium security environment. I think it would be allowed, so long as I do not have to install third-party drivers.   Would I get basic functionality (DAC, Amping) with the default windows drivers? Or not work at all?  ...

Hey all.  After looking around for desktop speaker stands that would fit my needs (~6-8" high) and not finding anything, I decided to make my own.  Here is my build thread.  I have plans in Google Sketchup if anybody is curious.   Here is my current setup:     As you can see, the...

I just bought a clip so i need to convert some .m4a files to flac. Usually dbpoweramp works for conversions but whenever i try to do this it freezes and says 'not responding'. Has this happened to anyone before? How is it fixed?

I recently bought a new DAC and AMP to be used with my computer. I needed a new/cheap sound card that offers optical output so that I can hook up my DAC to audio card via optical cable. I was going to buy a cheap audio card "Turtle Beach Riviera 5.1 Channel" from amazon for $30. Will this do the...

This is a very basic headphone config for stock Asus Xonar STX/ST. I decided to post this because I was very happy with this config and I was tired of repeating it in every STX-related post. I hope its helpful. Driver version: 7.12.8.1777 OS: Windows 7 64bit After installing the driver...

1/ Presentation Since we're using WASAPI, only windows vista is compatible although it should also work with windows seven but i really don't know if its the case. I'm going to show you how to configure The KMPlayer to use the WASAPI via reclock. It is very simple. Why The KMPlayer ...

I was wondering if you guys could post pictures of your Foobar 2000 interface in action. I want to get some ideas of good setups and learn a little more about it. Thanks to all who post.

I would say this is a year old issue. I think it was after a new version of itunes came out something changed. I looked for threads here but couldn't find any. If there are any that some might now about please link to them. The playback quality is plain horrible. Its hard to say whats wrong, its...

This X-Fi surround was purchase for a friend to be used as a USB to SPDIF solution for the Ibasso D10. But after the mod my friend thinks that this solution is good enough. The creative X-Fi implementation of the USB to audio is one of the best in the industries. Certainly better then the EMU...

My laptop has been fine all the while until last night, when i plug my earphones in the headphone jack and played music etc, the sound on the right is louder than the left. My earphones are perfectly fine and i tried other earphones too and the sound is still imbalance. Tried out the speakers...

So, some time ago I bought a uDAC as a way to listen to some music on my laptop without sacrificing too much on the portability thing. I ended up using it as my main soundcard on the desktop rig. RCA out hooked to my Headstage Arrow 12HE amp. Sounds pretty decent with my AKG K518DJ/RE0.   ...

I'm going to be hooking my receiver up to my computer soon and I was wondering which connection would be better for 5.1? Should I use digital coaxial from Sound Blaster or HDMI from the video card?   Thanks!

Hi,   I'm trying to find an audio transmitter for my pc that can send audio to speakers in another room. Ideally there would be a USB device that plugs into the PC and sends wireless audio to selected channels. Each channel would represent a wireless audio receiver in a different room.   ...

Hi guys, have a problem   Currently using HP laptop>3.5mm/RCA>AWA Mini HiFi system (2.0)     Wondering what the best path for upgrading would be? I don't have a massive budget <$200 would be ideal.   But should i go for a new 2.0 system, a cheap amp (are retros any good for...

A friend of mine is looking to get into computer audio and has asked me to help him find an integrated amp that has a decent dac in it.  He said he's willing to spend about a grand.  The way he described it was that he wants a dac with the ability to drive speakers, stating that he already has a...

Why did you buy a Macbook?  Or, why are you going to buy a Macbook?   I'm still curious to this, because everyone in Sound Design/Engineering seems to use one, and that's my path.  I need top performance for 3D design, and lighting design emulation.  (CPU > Video card > RAM > HDD/SSD)  I...

I am fairly mobile with my notebook, so I've been trying to find a DAC+Amp that is "extremely portable"... to give you an idea, the Asus Xonar is already too big... so I was hoping that some of the experts on this forum would know of any alternatives to the following sound cards echo indigo...

I am looking for some recommendations on not all that expensive power cables that will basically reject all noise, I will be using them on a DAC/AMP/Computer/and 2xpowered speakers.   Any opinions appreciated!  Thanks!   So far the lower end Analysis Plus power cables look well designed.

Is there any benefit to recording using a mic through the dac analog input as opposed to the notebook mic input?  Reason? Thanks!

I just wanted to let folks know that there is a new music player for Mac users that is better than itunes for playback (in my opinion) on high quality systems. I found out about it from another forum and have been playing with the demo for several days now. I like the sound quality a lot...
