I see. Firmware update seems rather complicated

Anyway, thanks for the info!

Yep, it is what it is. I figured it was worth noting that they had so many possibilities.

  My Geek Pulse was picked up by USPS on the day the shipping notice was sent to me.  I would open a ticket if it has not been picked up for the past two weeks based on the tracking.

Opened a trouble ticket and the shipping was cancelled, they promised to start delivering infinity's (Old Chassis)  at end Jul. An the wait continues!!!

Can we assume the the RCA Line Out's passed with (AES/EBU, S/PDIF[1, 2] and TOSLINK) input since I see no tests for that, only result is for USB input?

Had problems lately. Geek Pulse keeps disconnecting from my computer after sometime. And after isolating one by one (power managements, usb ports etc.), I had come into a conclusion that it was my m/b.
 
So enter this USB 3.1 Type-A PCIe card from Asus. A $40 purchase from Amazon.

Not only it solved the disconnection issues, but it has sped up my usb 3.0 peripherals.
 
And more importantly, I was SURPISED on the increased soundstage, detail, separation, body from my Pulse!
 
Lately there was a hype on USB reclocking / power optimization (Wyrd, Regen) along with oldtime favorites JCAT/Paul Pang/Sotm.
Wondering due to better electronics (power, clock, bandwidth) in supporting the USB 3.1 spec. aided to to such increase in sonic benefits. 
 
Its just a $40 investment for your PC. It gives your peripherals better life/speed. And a surprise on sonic benefits.
Oh forgot its a PCIe X4.

It seems that the beta site hasn't had the logins migrated from the old one, if they're supposed to be available. I signed in under my beta account, found the new forum URL, and signed in using my normal login.


Casey can tell me if I am wrong but I don't think they'll be migrating the logins from the old site. Also when selecting the Force Forum, it takes you back to the old forum where you can log back in the old forum using your original username/password combo.

Anyone joining the new marked "beta" forum needs to create a brand new account.

So there's 4 accounts associated with LH Labs?
  • Geek Force
  • Marketplace
  • Support website
  • New, currently beta, forums


Currently, there are four accounts associated with your LH Labs logins.  Gavin is working with our web team on whittling that down to two accounts in total.  Since we're utilizing multiple platforms (Shopify, ZenDesk, Joomla, etc. etc.) there's no simple way to port over all username/password data.  A solution is being worked on though.

I could not sign in on the new site. I can't sign in to the support section with the password I use on the regular site, but using Facebook gets me in.

Hmm.. I can't register to the new site, too.
Get the error message that I should use a new email address. Thought we should use our "old" credentials?!

BTW... Tapatalk doesn't work for me anymore too with the "old" forum. Is this intended or am I the only one facing this?

Help!!!
 
So I finally got my Pulse Infinity (unwrapped the birthday present yesterday!) and went today to set it up along with the LPS4. So we're all set up with physical cabling - check.
 
Went to set up the drivers and I think I'm stuck in the black-hole of changing support systems. Doh!
 
When I went to the download the Windows drivers, looking to upload version 2.29, I've found that the link is dead, taking to me LHL's version of the 404 page ("Oops, you blew up the internet!"). In fact all of the driver links are dead on this page - which I believe is the most recent, and is the only one I can find. 
 
http://support.lhlabs.com/support/solutions/articles/5000633039-light-harmonic-driver-and-firmware-files
 
Can anyone please point me in the right direction for the Windows Driver ver, 2.29?
 
Also Casey/Manny/et al you might want to fix these pages.  
 
Thanks in advance!
