Ah okay. You know I've heard these kinda stories. I can't be of much help no more as I don't use USB mikes. I do use a DM420 as an external 24 bit 96 KHZ sound card sometimes though. But for a mike I use an AT8022. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org]

Well, she tells me that when she uses a wireless mic, there's hardly no hum at all. However, when she uses one of those USB headsets with a microphone and a cord on the end, the hum is a lot louder. That's why I wasn't sure if had something to do with the sound card or if it was electrical?

Ah that right there tells you it's something electrical. When she uses it without AC power it's fine. Now who knows maybe it is a ground issue. What kind of mike is she using? Could it be over censitivity of this mike? -Original Message- From: Pc-audio

Oh that could be too. But seriously though Tom. Dell does do something odd with the mother bord audio. I'm surprised Larry hasn't notised it till now. But then again I heard it straight away over Bose OE2I headphones. I have no idea what effect dell turns on. I checked mine so I could shut that

Hey folks A while ago, someone was talking about a possible sound card issue, and my girlfriend who is not on this list is having one and she's asked me to quiz the gurus. Basicly, what's happening is whenever she records something or broadcasts on the internet, you can hear what appears to

Well Hamit, I gave it a try, and it didn't do enough to mollify me. I have that old Audigy in the old computer, and have considered taking it out and installing it on the Dell, but don't know where the cd with the drivers disappeared too, so that may not really be an option. Might have to

Well Tim, thanks for that bit of advice, but I've tried that, and that takes practically all of my amplification away. I only have the minimum of enhancement going. I don't even have any equalization, at least not through the sound card, only through Winamp. As far as Winamp, my player, and

As a side note I didn't note it right away and could have left it alone, but that was only because I use my Bose Companion 5 USB virtual surround sound system. But for grins and giggles I connected head phones to see what the card is like. Also to use the Stereo Mix feature. -Original

Yeah the suggestion that you were given kinda fixes it. Gi than the XPS does that crap too then? I've noted it with my Enspireon 3000. It's some stupid wall reflection effect either Dell sets and who knows how to truly shut it off, and or Real Tech does this crap. Yeah I know that annoying

Try going in to control panel and go to sound link and click on your sound card. Then go to playback and then to the properties and then the enhancements tabs and check disable all enhancements. I hope that solves the problem. Tim -Original Message- From: Larry Higgins Sent:

Listers, Something has been kind of bugging me since I began using this Dell XPS 7500 machine back in march of last year. It seems to me that the on board Realtech sound card has a characteristic of making voices sound as if they are cave like, depending how they are positioned. I think

Hi there! I wrote about the Hands Free Mac App around 2 weeks ago. In basic terms the App allows the connection of a Bluetooth phone or device - Android or IOS - to your Mac and thus control of that device from your Mac. You can control functions such as make/answer calls, search for contacts
