Remember Vortex 3D Audio from... uhhh... not creative, the other company that briefly was amazing in PCI Soundcards?
frank zealot
it took them a while to make a halfway decent PCI sound card
the ISA versions were awesome, and then they released craptastic cards on PCIE for several years

yeah my knowledge started and stopped in the early 2000's on that front
early to mid, with the SoundBlaster X-Fi's

Aureal Vortex / Diamond Monster MX sound cards
Creative's PCI cards were garbage until the Audigy came out

this with more optimization might look too crammed no?
also this mic mount is going to be a pain in the ass, mount to the backside of the desk behind Streamdeck

I had a diamond Monster MX300 or 400 back in the day, it was baller.

then you have to mess with Dolby software

<@246739332252041216> our board should handle the encoded audio on 5.1 or 7.1
oh interesting
edgy laurel
Movies played back locally with a TrueHD audio track would need to be decoded by Dolby approved software and then directed to the proper outputs. this doesn't happen by magic.
steel stream
Can confirm
frosty prism
wat da Front DAC (DAC02) supports rhythm detect LED Beat mode
edgy laurel
and then there is passthrough over HDMI, which some software can do but seemingly not in a way that actually works
frosty prism
even my audio chip can do RT
WaveRT-based audio function driver for Windows OS
edgy laurel
MPC-HC gives you a bunch of options
bitstreaming out over HDMI would be the play, in theory
easy with AC-3 (basic bitch 1.5Mb/s Dolby Digital)
even over S/PDIF
there is a checkbox there for TrueHD but.. i dunno akn i guess that just doesn't work?

I think it worked, but I had to go and check some other boxes in another level

the only soundcard I ever bought which was awesome. big chunky relays would click when you switch to the headphone out, it was so cool. Interesting, it has a Dolby logo...

What should I set my sampling rate to in windows?
edgy laurel
So for DSD playback, I believe it will be using ASIO or WASAPI exclusive mode so in theory what you set in WIndows won't matter. the player and really the file itself will determine it
did you install an ASIO driver for the DAC?
yeah
from your manual
so the app, presumably has an output section where you'll select it via ASIO
this will bypass the native Windows audio stack so that bit depth/sample rate section in WIndows won't have any effect
The above is from the "previous page"
steel stream
from your manual
Damn for all the harping I do in this discord, I should have guessed lol

man im scared to spend money on audio cause I feel like id never be satisfied
edgy laurel
so @steel stream tl;dr, for DSD you're using a special driver thats effectively bypassing all the Windows audio stack and talking directly to the DAC
topaz veldt
What should I set my sampling rate to in windows?
for PCM?
the sampling rate for DSD is dependent on the media
steel stream
the sampling rate for DSD is dependent on the media
yeah Guilty just educated me on that one lol
topaz veldt
OK cool yeah ASIO will run for DSD and it'll be whatever variant of DSD the media is in
topaz veldt
yeah my dac shows what DSD is going on

Anyone know where i could find online the metal retention clips that are used on AMD am3 and older coolers? Every time i try to google it, it keeps thinking i am wanting the backplate or plastic mounts. I am trying to find one to replace the one missing from my Corsair A70, in the hopes that i can then use it on my AM4 board.

I dunno where the X18 stands today, but https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/gustard-x18-review-stereo-dac.28988/
One thing I never figured out though is that it advertises 768k PCM
rocky torrent
what's even the point of that other than advertising
i don't think even 48k will have any audible aliasing
topaz veldt
it won't but its fun
