G'day. I am looking to get the cheapest soundcard that will allow me to do HD recording on my PC. I seem to have blown the inputs on my onboard sound & on a Yamaha Xwave PCI soundcard (no great loss, AUD $10), so I need something that can handle higher inputs than these. Probably anything that can...

Hey all, I am going to purchase an ASUS Z96J notebook (I know, I know, it's not IBM) from www.agearnotebooks.com, and the thing is that it has very bad sound, as all laptops do.

I've got an old portable Toshiba computer (Satellite 300 CDT), with a soundcard named Yamaha OPL3-SAx. I've recently got hold of the old PC game Doom2, but the game isn't able to produce any sound. Of course, the setup to this game has no "Yamaha OPL3"-option on the soundcard. So the question is,...

Hi everyone, I have sound on board, but I am thinking of building in a sound card in my PC. On the back of my DVD drive I dont see a port to connect the audio cable. The DVD drive is a Hitachi/LG GDR-H10N. Am I looking wrong?

Hi, My laptop computer supports 5.1 surround sound (at least the manual says it does), but does not have separate outputs for each of the speakers. It does, however, have a digital coaxial output - would this output all of the individual signals for each of the speakers? If so, is there any device...

Hi Group, Just starting with a new hard disk. Lost the lot. I had just paid for Cool Edit 2000 (excellent program). New owners ADOBE are no help. I still have my registration code if anyone has a copy of the original free download out there (ie: non-registered). Here's hoping, Dave W.

I have my wedding ceremony recorded on a cassette tape that is, just, 20 years old. I'd like to digitize it to back up the tape. A friend said connnect the headphone jack on the handheld tape player to the microphone jack on the back of the pc. I can hear the recording through the speakers but...

I'm converting my old vinyls to CD, using the Terratec Phono preamp. What is the optimal recording level (in dB). How do I find the optimal combination between input level (setting min/mid/max on the preamp) and the "volume" slider in windows recording control. (I assume the higher the input signal...

Peeps Has any had experience of either the 7.1 surround sound speakers by either Creative or Videologic, or both? I had a set of T7700s a while ago but they had to go back. I was gonna buy the Videologic speakers but have read reports that the bass is only reproduced on the front speaker...
