Hello. I have some big flac files that are 24 bit 96khz. I am trying to get it split into separate tracks and then converted to ALAC from cue sheets. I have read many threads and tried a couple of programs.    I usually use Burrrrn to read the .cue and write to disc and then upload the CD in...

I have a X-Fi HD on Windows XP SP3 and I was wondering if the creative driver and mixer use the kMixer in Windows? Is there a way to disable the kmixer to see if the Creative DAC still works? It is impossible to get bit perfect audio from this DAC because it only supports 48khz and 96khz...

I really need help determining the type of Toslink I have on my mobo/receiver. If it helps, I have the Asrock Z68 Pro 3 Gen3, and an Accurian ASR-5046. The Toslink on my receiver looks so much more bigger than on my mobo, and I think I have a mini Toslink on my motherboard, but I don't know...

I recently got a used HK3490 for cheap and am trying to make the most of it with my student shoe-string budget. I'm pretty new to this audio gear stuff so even basic things I'm abit unsure about - which leads me to my question: I got a 3.5mm to RCA cable which allows me to hook up my ipod or...

I always thought that in the Audio Midi Setup app, I should set it to 96k and 24 bit for the best output quality through my DAC/Amp.    Most all of my music are ripped CDs, in Apple Lossless format with some being AAC iTunes Plus tracks as well.    But, I recently read an article stating...

I was wondering what the best way to download mp3 files from youtube, I tried a few free online programs but there was a lot of quality lost from the original video. Is there some method or program to get the results? Thanks.

I just downloaded the new wasapi 3.0 and it changed the way the music is played through the headphones. The sound is much more spread out. I am using the push setting, the event setting sounds like the old wasapi.  You guys should check it out.

Well, I figure I will start this thread in reference to the TE8802 chip on various Audio-GD devices. The TE8802 supports full speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode up to 24/192KHz (usb).   I have two devices with this chip and have to say I have had no problems at all with installation, media...

Which one do you guys/gals use and why not the others? 

A bit of an odd request....   My current laptop doesn't have much capacity (320gb 7mm drive), so I don't keep my full music collection on it. At home it's connected to a docking station containing a larger hard drive.   So all my FLACs are on the docking station. I transcode them into...

Ok iTunes gets a lot of flack and I don't know why.  I don't like Apple Products other than the iPod.  I could rant on how terrible Apple is but I won't.   iTunes however is something they have done right.  It has a clean interface, it doesn't use a lot of memory, and it's just simple.  ...

Im tired of having to close Jriver media player everytime I want to watch a youtube video and get the sound to work. If I remove excluse access to jriver and change the exclusive mode setting of my dac, will it change the sound quality?   BTW my windows sound have been turned off, so no bing :)

Is there a quality difference between FLAC and actual CD?  Should it be the same or no? CD is 128kbps but if you upconvert to FLAC you would lose quality even though you are going to loseless codec.

A computer audio enthusiast myself, I sit down and have long seesions in my favoirte DAW Cubase 6. I try to compose a variety of music. I just had a random thought.   What if Beethoven had a symphony at his fingertips. I mean a DAW ready for his midi input. Would he have made 100 symphonies...

I was going to buy a DAC for my Imac and the output was coaxial. Is there any difference using a usb to usb and usb to a coaxial adapter?

I've been running the same setup for around 2 years and suddenly after restarting my computer I'm having an issue. My setup is Computer USB port->fiio e7->Hifiman HE-300. I've tried several USB ports to make sure thats not the issue and plugged in the hifiman to the direct headphone port to...

Hey guys, I hope this is the right place to post this and hope you can help me out, even though this is a headphone forum.   I bought a Plantronics PC-Audio 300 Desktop Microfone. It was cheap, 15 euro, its the typical 1/8 jack microfone for skype use. However, the sound is SO LOW that...

I am currently using a Peavey PVi100 Dynamic mic, but I am wanting to get something different.. Need something for recording vocals decently.. I was looking into Condenser mics, cause I know they are good for recording, and Dynamic mics are good for live shows, cause they aren't that sensitive...

I am not too knowledgeable about sound but I do appreciate good sound quality and want to ensure I have as good of a listening experience as I can get with my current equipment. I have:   - Creative X-fi Titanium HD soundcard (Using latest Creative drivers) - Audio Technica ATH-A700...

On my motherboard MSI P67A-C43 (B3) the green line out jack on the back of the motherboard sounds un-amped compared with the front panel audio jack. There is significantly more bass coming from my headphones when connected to the front panel audio jack. All settings are the same across jacks, no...

So basically I am looking to get my first speakers system as I have only bought cans beforehand. Am not looking to get anything that is super high quality but I would like something nice for $200-300. Was thinking either getting two monitors (so I can at least have some left and right sound...
