external usb soundcards
Hello everyone, I'm in the process of getting a dj position on ACB Radio Interactive. During the first half of the audition prep, I found out that my computer only has one soundcard, and as a result, when I broadcast, my computer sounds and screen reader sounds would end up being broadcasted too. The person training me suggested that an external usb soundcard would solve this issue. Can any of you recommend a good plug n play usb soundcard that would work with the blue yeti usb mic, winamp 5.666, and windows 8.1? For anyone who has ever used multiple soundcards in an audio project involving talking to someone on skype, while broadcasting music over the web, do you know if external usb soundcards have a setting, something like an audition channel of sorts, that would allow you to take skype calls without broadcasting them online? If technology permits, I'm hoping to be able to play music over the air, and take requests via skype off the air. I hope that makes at least a little sense. I'm new to broadcasting online, so my question may sound a little confusing to some people. Thanks in advance for any help. Mike Rochester, NY.
RE: external usb soundcards
Hello Mike: USB headsets normally have their own soundcard, thus if you use say, a Logitech or a Plantronics headset, you can have Jaws and Skype go to the headset instead of the computer soundcard.

Issue with soundcards and playback using Audacity
Hi there Hoping someone can help. I'm baffled as to what's happening. I've got a laptop running the latest version of Audacity along with Jaws 14. I'm also using a USB Blue Yeti microphone which I plug headphones into. I've got JAWS going through the microphone, checked through the sound card menu with JAWS utilities. I've also checked the Blue Yeti mic in the input and output devices in Audacity.The issue I have is when I import a track into Audacity and hit play JAWS vanishes. The track plays, but JAWS goes silent. If I unplug the mic and put it straight back in again then JAWS is back through the headphones. There's obviously an issue with the playback options, but I'm honestly at a loss what it might be. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Go to the soundcard's properties. On the Communications Tab, set it to Do Nothing. Also go to the effects tab if there is one and disable all enhancements.

RE: Issue with soundcards and playback using Audacity
Nope. That hasn't worked. There's no effects tab either. Strange thing I've noticed now as well is that JAWS only knocks off after a number of seconds. If I hit play within Audacity and only let it go for about four seconds it's fine. Any longer and it goes. The simple workaround is to unplug the USB mic all the time, but this is annoying and will wear down the USB hub connector eventually. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: 21 January 2014 10:13 To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Issue with soundcards and playback using Audacity Hi, Go to the soundcard's properties.

An FM radio transmitter that is hooked up to the line out jack of your sound card, will serve you best. Even with running long cables, you are looking at a grater resistance.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello Garry, In some places here in the USA, there isn't a Best Buy.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello Garry, Those are pretty good too as well. But if I were to get a DA converter, I would look for two things. #1. Sense I will be using it with my computer, I would look for the DA converter to have some kind of USB inter face. #2. Just about all of my equipment has vacuum tubes in it. So to stay true to that tube sound, I would look for the DA converter to have a pare of 12AX7 tubes on the analog output stage. Those are out there, but they cost some what a pretty penny.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello John, Then the suggestion I made to you, is correct. An FM radio transmitter that is hooked up to the line out jack of your sound card, will serve you best. Even with running long cables, you are looking at a grater resistance. Which means, you will loose some of the audio signal before it gets from point a to point b. The shorter the cable, the lesser the resistance. Hope this helps. My best regards.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Of course, when you use an FM transmitter, you don't get the full frequency range. Doesn't matter to me because I'm old and my high frequencies are fading. Also depends upon if it's a legal FM transmitter; the upper frequency limit is 15 KHz. A good hi-fi stereo system will produce 20KHz. I used to could hear those high harmonics.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Hello Dan, I have my computer and stereo system hooked up like that right now. But only, I'm using an old Fisher 500-c stereo receiver that has vacuum tubes in it that was made in 1963. My speakers are comprised of 2 Jensen P12N alnico drivers in each cab that are crossed over to 20 HZ for woofers and a Jensen 8QR alnico driver in each cab that are crossed over to 60 HZ for mid ranges and 4 horns in each cab that are also crossed over to 256 HZ for the high end. I get pretty close to studio quality sound from this set up, and it sounds grate! I did once have a pare of 32 watt mono block tube amps that I built from a set of S-5 Electronic kits, but I lost them in a tornado a copal of years ago right along with my house that was also destroyed in the tornado as well. But the good news is, I am in a brand new house. So I was able to reconfigure my whole system to sound like I once did before. My best regards.

Re: regarding soundcards and hi-fi's
Though, in the past fifty years, I've had Mac and Marance, I don't think I'll be buying any of those very soon. Getting older, I'm loosing the high frequencies and the tunitis is messing up the rest. So I'll be using my computer sound card (analogly) into whatever amp finds its way to the shelf.

Hi John, I used a 25 foot stereo cable with one y-cable having a mail transister jack on one end (these are the standard for headphones on small walkmen etc.) On the other end are two female rca jacks (in my day we called these pin jacks. You would plug the male rca jacks from one end of your 25 foot stereo cable into the female jacks on the y-cable. Plug the male transister jack into the out of your pc. this is where you normally plug in speakers. Plug the two remaining mail rca jacks into the in jacks of your stereo system.

Hi John, I listen daily to music from my computer on my home stereo and through my bose wave radio on my deck. I do this by employing a good fm transmitter.

I can even listen to my music and podcasts in a car in my driveway. Hope this helps. Rusty p.s. this method saves you the mess and clutter of long wires.

high-fi soundcards
Wow. A lot of good advice on sound cards. When I was looking for a good card about a year ago, I decided on the creative x-fi stream music. Unfortunately it was discontinued at about $60 in the US. and I don't think creative ever came up with anything as good to take its place. If you have an older PC WITH WINDOWS 98 OR ME, I have a high end card from turtle beach that's the best I've ever heard with plenty of mic gain and a separate line in jack not found on most cards today. You can contact me off list if your interested but for a newer PC, I think the stream music card would be a good choice if you could still find it. It does have drivers for windows 7. The settings in it are also accessible with Jaws if you use that. Take care, Joe. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

USB soundcards
Hi I am looking for a USB preferably 7.1 external soundcard with ideally optical and coax digital outputs to connect to my Arcam home cinema amp. Optical would do but coax would be better. I can't see at all so I am looking for something I can operate with jaws compatibility. I am using at the moment a cheap Trust 5.1 card; have tried a Philips Orilium which did not work and an Audegy 2NX which I still have which when connected skipped like a CD and made jaws speak very peculiarly. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Brian To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Soundsettings and soundcards.
Hello! I have a m-audio delta audiophile 192 sound card. Why can't the windows sound settings be set for this kind of card? For example: If you go to the sound settings in the control panel in xp and control tab to the devices. There is an advanced button there where you can change the type of loud speakers for the sound card. But i can't hear any changes when changing from stereo spekers for dsktop computer (translated from swedish) or headphones. The simple question is why? I know that the delta cards has its own control panel but the latest control panel and drivers has really been inaccessible. /Anders.

A question about the XFI line of creative soundcards
Hi all, Other friends of mine that have creative sound blaster XFI cards, have said that they have a compressor in them, but I can't find anywhere to control it, let alone enable it. The particular card that i have here, is the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio. IS there a compressor in this one somewhere? or is it only in other cards in the series? I've poked around in the audio console, looking at the various tabs, to no avail, no compressor to be found Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Headphones and soundcards
Hi Kathy, Don't know for certain this will work but you won't lose anything by trying it. If you are using XP go into control panel and select sounds and audio devices. Now tab to speaker volume. Tab once more to advanced and press enter. If your speaker setup is set to stereo, change it to quadraphonic then tab to OK and press enter. Now, if you keep your fingers crossed, grin that should do the trick. Good luck.

The trouble happens when I decide I want to go back to listening to my speakers and I unplug my headphones from the headphone jack on the sound card. It seems to me that the speakers, which are still plugged in to the sound card in their own little speaker jack, should just take over again.

This presents a particular problem, as it means that JAWS will only speak through the headset, each time I reboot, until I exit and restart JAWS. But there is a way to edit JFW.INI to force JAWS to use a specific sound card, and not get highjacked by the USB headset. If this is what is happening to you, you could probably prevent JAWS from going silent (actually, talking though the headphones, instead of the speakers), by editing JFW.ini, in this way. But, if this is what is happening, you'll have to go into Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, and reset your default audio device to the card that dives your speakers, each time you unplug your headphones. See if you can determine if this is, indeed, what is happening. If so, perhaps, someone here can figure out a less inconvenient solution.

Re: Soundcards
Audigy is only better based on how you will be using the computer. If it is your main source of media entertainment, IE: music, movies and gaming then by all means get audigy and make an investment in a set of speakers that will use it to its fullest capabilities. If on the otherhand, you will only have your screen reading program as your main audio output then find a simple multichannel soundcard. You don't need anything fancy for jaws or window eyes.
