audio-tech

[warm scarab]

and it will take a while to get used to them

[wintry mirage]

i still need to find a sub for below 50hz but i dont know if i can find one that plays around 30 hz or lower thats cheap

or if i can make one

i could do with having a box thats 4 - 5 foot tall if i made it myself

[stuck bolt]

Oh

Are you willing to do a DIY kit?

[wintry mirage]

i can make a box

[stuck bolt]

Also, budget

What's your price range

[wintry mirage]

im not really sure on a budget i think less than £400 but it can change

its just to add a low end to 2 speakers because they cut out at 50hz

[stuck bolt]

https://www.soundimports.eu/en/diy-kits/diy-subwoofer-kits/

[wintry mirage]

i dont think they can get loud enough

[stuck bolt]

Do multiple subs

[wintry mirage]

i need 2

[stuck bolt]

Stereo subs

[wintry mirage]

the speakers im putting them with can operate up to 120 db spl at 1 meter

[stuck bolt]

Dayum

[wintry mirage]

not measured it myself

[stuck bolt]

I'd do two 8"subs and have an external amp

[wintry mirage]

the speakers themselves are 15 inch

a lot of cheaper subs are for cars im not sure if they will work or not

[stuck bolt]

Hmm

Sure Electronics has some decent amp modules

Check them out

[wintry mirage]

what about subs because i have a 1000 watt pa amplifier already

it can output 1000 watts at 8 ohms which may be a bit high for a sub

it might be 4 ohms

yes 4 ohms

500 watt per channel at 2 ohms as well

[stuck bolt]

Have a dsp or eq before the amp

So you can send the right frequencies

[wintry mirage]

i have one i just need to fix it

it has filters on it anyway

it has switches on the amp u can change the frequency outputs

i could look for subwoofers on facebook market place too and make my own box

[stuck bolt]

Sounds good

[lean grove]

Don't do multiple subs

[stuck bolt]

Why's that

[lean grove]

Because people that put subwoofers in their cars are degenerates who make society worse

[stuck bolt]

Bruh

[lean grove]

Not even kidding doing anything to make your car louder should be punishable by jail.

One asshole can easily annoy hundreds of people every day. Everyone hates it.

Technically illegal in a lot of places but that's beside the point.

[stuck bolt]

For studios,dual subs are better

[lean grove]

Yeah sure helps negate room nodes

But this isn't for a studio

[cold spindle]

they said pa amp so probably something for a stage. tho yeah using it in a house or studio is no it's for stages or clubs. as i use a low power pa setup as desk monitors and it's overkill

[zenith pawn]

Is stereo subwoofers even useful

I've always heard that you can't tell directionality with that frequency range

[lean grove]

Below 80hz you start to lose that ability. But what the dual (or more) subwoofers do is spread out the sound so you don't run into room nodes.

https://youtu.be/PHdlglghV-E

This video does a pretty good job showing that

[warm scarab]

debatable

if your speakers have falloffs where your subs are still linear ig its useful

but you should be getting better speakers at that point rather than another sub

[lean grove]

Watch the video Klaus

[warm scarab]

no?

[lean grove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cake-cutting-cutting-kitty-gif-11810334948872627297

[zenith pawn]

I don't think that's how physics should work

[terse river]

I that doesn’t look like ai at all

[unique wind]

if you have the appropriate space then yeah more subs more better

[west flame]

'

Oh dear

[slate patrol]

oh no

[west flame]

Yep

my strap came off

and

Cable completely snapped

[wintry mirage]

you would think its for a stage considering its a pa setup but i just have it in my bedroom

for now anyway i just use it when i need them they just live in there

[haughty girder]

you dropped it...?

[west flame]

Yep

[slate patrol]

where can i find equalizer presets?

[lean grove]

https://squig.link/

[haughty girder]

if you can, use one of the measurebaitors that have a 5128

[chrome saddle]

nightmare inducing

[stone quartz]

Found the greatest Bluetooth speaker

I want one just for the laughs

[west flame]

You can get them at London Drugs

at least you can in vancouver

[reef wagon]

another option: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/blob/2dff3b2666357204076e9e064426a8762b992718/results/README.md

[stone quartz]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256879837057 Is this a good line array?

[wheat moss]

Looks like an absolute ripoff

10k pounds for some cosmetically shit speakers that don't even have working amps

Oh missed that it's a full set of two 12 arrays

Eh, still seems expensive for being heavily used and not looked after

[reef wagon]

Brother I work in the industry of professional audio and live events, and never seen any speakers in such bad shape, especially Meyer.

But until you turn them on, you don’t know. Guts could still be in good shape.

[stone quartz]

I think the condition is why they're priced like that

Cheapest I could find the individual speakers in good condition was about £800

Probaby ex-rental to be in that condition

[slate patrol]

Do u guys use any software with your mics or just raw

While gaming

[zenith pawn]

while gaming? Like for talking on discord or something?

[warm silo]

For like $500 a box its really good, but once you consider the condition and not all of them work, its not as good

I love M1D stuff though

When I worked for them I had a M1D-Sub under my desk

[stone quartz]

They have a pretty impressive frequency response given the small size

HF seems a bit weak, though

Maybe that's less of a priority in live sound

[slate patrol]

talking on discord or ingame vcs etc

[warm scarab]

yes

[slate patrol]

What do u use

??

[warm scarab]

uh

something like this

[unique wind]

they are about as expected

they sound great but can’t play super loud

[buoyant vale]

80db is the mortal enemy of kef

[stone quartz]

Were you giving them a clean signal?

80dB should be well within their limits

[buoyant vale]

the cleanest of square waves

[stone quartz]

😎

[buoyant vale]

they are not mine

[stone quartz]

Looks like a pet got at them or something

[buoyant vale]

lot of very bad doggos about it seems

[stone quartz]

What happened to them all?

[buoyant vale]

they tried to listen at 81db

[stone quartz]

Can't even get hearing damage with Kef speakers 😑

[buoyant vale]

I guess maybe it is a feature then

like those table saws that self destruct before they chop your fingers off

[stone quartz]

I've never been that keen on Kef stuff tbh

I think they're ugly

Can't speak for the sound

[zenith pawn]

well there's your issue

real people listen at 60 db

[lean grove]

Finally beating the poor allegations

[zenith pawn]

anyone have experience with the framework audio expansion card, it apparently has a CX31993
i am kinda considering buying it so i can just insert it into my laptop without a dongle

actually this could get expensive thanks to mr trump

i wonder if it'll be better than the apple dongle

the apple dongle feels like the bass is a little weak

[unique wind]

xd

[unique wind]

it’ll probably be pretty much the same

apple dong and cx31993 are both low power but neutral dacamps

[zenith pawn]

i only say that because i remember by macbook built in sounding like there was stronger bass compared to the dongle on the same computer

but i couldnt really find a way to blind test that

$19 is stupid im not buying the framework card

[warm scarab]

normally you get a switch box with potentiometers

which you can build yourself, not very difficult

you volume match them playing a static tone like 1khz

and then you ask someone you know to scramble the cables and start testing

[zenith pawn]

thats a fun future project

[dull trout]

im not sure if your card comes with a dedicated amp, but if only the dac itself works as an amp as well, you probably wont see any difference except in volume

if you want more bass, you might need a dac that supports peq/you can eq with peace apo via windows

[zenith pawn]

if i really wanted to i could just use easyeffects

it probably is just the dac, they have pictures here https://community.frame.work/t/whats-inside-the-audio-expansion-card/37850/4

i only see like one chip

[dull trout]

heh i dont see how you'd benefit from getting a dedicated dac except for more power and possibly better sampling assuming you actually have an audio file that matches its bitrate

apple dongle is kind of more than enough that you can just eq them

[zenith pawn]

the only thing i was considering was so itd fit nicely into my laptop]

[dull trout]

ah then i dont see why not

[zenith pawn]

well for why not, i just remembered a bit ago that they do ship from taiwan and dont stock in the usa

so it'd probably be insanely expensive

[dull trout]

although, might have no difference at all in terms of sounds, if you are looking for that sort of improvement

[dull trout]

tarifs taking effect i see

[zenith pawn]

probably

i don't feel like testing the waters

now i just have to carry a dongle in the box with my 7hz

[warm scarab]

i dont think ive seen a single dac in my life that doesnt support apo

[zenith pawn]

what is apo exactly

is it just the name of a program/

[warm scarab]

equalizer apo

yes

its the best systemwide equalizer out there

and peacegui is an interface program for it if you aren't intelligent or patient enough to watch a 10 min youtube tutorial

[unique wind]

i taught myself how to use base eqapo before i knew that peace existed

and when i look at peace now it just seems pointless

i cant wait until my stands arrive tomorrow

im rockin that 200Hz desk reflection cut in the Kef Connect app right now because the reflection off of my wood desk is awful

[warm scarab]

i remember being confused about was confing.txt being the only active config

despite the program allowing multiple ones

didnt know you had to incude them in the config, which makes slight sense

[steel escarp]

I un-installed EQ APO after getting Susvara

Chord Mojo 2 also has good enough EQ shelf filters

[dull trout]

yeah there isnt any that doesnt. peq i meant is just a built in software thing like a fiio

where you can just universally use the same peq embedded for all your audio stuff

[stuck bolt]

Are you on Mac or PC? @dull trout

[dull trout]

im on pc

[stuck bolt]

Have you tried fxsound

https://www.fxsound.com/

[dull trout]

i did, did quite a decent job

tho its quite basic

also super low bitrate

16bit 48khz i think

i dont really prefer it since i use my dacs on 24 bit 96khz instead

*also 32bit 192khz but ye

and i dont really use eq anymore because my iem fits my listening taste

[slate patrol]

whats this and how to config for myself?

[dull trout]

hey i did push it to 32bit 784khz at one time dont judge

[buoyant vale]

I imagine you can really hear that extra bit depth

[dull trout]

above 192khz? nah man

at some point some songs goes to shit

[buoyant vale]

bit depth refers to the 32

[dull trout]

ah

well, not really

but its nice to have that headroom

i can be balling 16bit and itll be more than fine

[buoyant vale]

over 16 is pointless for reproduction

[dull trout]

eh since i paid my dac to do 32bit

ILL USE THE WHOLE 32BIT

*you dont have to, i just want to

even then it wont even sample 32bit from source, let alone convert

which is a bummer but, ITS FINEEEEEEEE

[buoyant vale]

good luck getting over 20bit at room temperature

[dull trout]

exactly lol

but its nice to see that 32bit

[buoyant vale]

why?

[dull trout]

eventho its not really 32bit on analog output

[dull trout]

uh, distracting myself from the fact that i paid too much for a dacamp is one thing

and uh the fact that my iem does not even come close to needing a dualamp setup

could've just gotten JM6Pro or something and ill be more just fine but here i am with Dawn Pro and TP35

but good thing is, both of those dacamps are tuned entirely differently so thats a plus

*trying to justify buying 2 usb dacamps lol

[warm scarab]

equalizer apo

you should look up a youtube tutorial

[slate patrol]

alr

i use peace apo with autoeq profile

for my iems

[warm scarab]

im using reaper vst plugins in apo

reagate and reacomp

[exotic yacht]

my tangzu wan'er arrived

theyre so neat

my first pair of IEMs

[exotic yacht]

3d printed one of these

[stuck bolt]

Cool

[red quest]

fix?

[stuck bolt]

Hmmm

[stuck bolt]

Tape the underside and and glue the top with crazy glue or something similar

[warm scarab]

is that the dustcap

if so you could probably universal glue it or weld it

[haughty girder]

Aye respect the wankers

Personally not a fan of those hard cable clips since I find they just get tangled into the cable and are more hassle to use than just a normal case

[exotic yacht]

idk this seemed like the best

if you have a better one ill gladly use it

on thingiverse this was the universal one

i use my school's 3d printer anyway

[haughty girder]

Oh you want 3d printed?

[exotic yacht]

i mean

if youve got a suggestion for a non 3d printed one that i can actually buy

sadly romania doesnt really have a great selection

[haughty girder]

I have a bunch of cases but I ended up liking the one that came with my iem the most

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/796534638981677128/1359220097255739563/PXL_20250408_173402231.MP.jpg?ex=67f6afdc&is=67f55e5c&hm=10f6e145405cbc4345ceabe55129c7ae4667e94475a5689a99407409b7410b03&

[exotic yacht]

mine doesnt have one

thats my problem

[haughty girder]

Yeah

I'm aware

[exotic yacht]

eh

i could just buy a normal case

yeah

the cable is a bit short, i had to buy an extender

[haughty girder]

Lmaooo

Got war shipped

I had the wankers 1, 2 on the way

The thing is like

I have a pelican 1010, kbear something case, KZ hard case, Tangzu case, the one that comes with Xinhs cables, and the ones that comes with certain iems

And I find that I come back to the one that came with this iem most often - it's just a normal small round case

And fits the cable and iem perfectly if I just wrap the cable around 3 fingers

[red quest]

dustcap?

thats the whole middle of the sub speaker

[red quest]

could work

THOUGH

the rubber or whatever has went into the crack too

[red quest]

def not weld, its plastic

[warm scarab]

oh i thought it was metal due to the finish

[warm scarab]

you can replace that also

[red quest]

no parts

[warm scarab]

you can buy surround foam

hot glue or superglue should hold the center

[red quest]

whats the point of all that then?, isnt it just worth buying a new sub?

[warm scarab]

no?

[red quest]

oh

[warm scarab]

its literally foam

[red quest]

no but like the plastic piece

if i glue it, it wont sound as good

or?

[warm scarab]

its not as delicate as you think

and thats a dustcap it prevents dust from going in

[red quest]

isnt a dustcap like in the middle?

[warm scarab]

thats the middle no?

[red quest]

confsed šőrry

ye

sorry*

[warm scarab]

anyhow it's not a delicate subject you shouldn't be worried regarding the superglue and foam refurbishing

[red quest]

no you dont understand xD

[warm scarab]

most speaker foam eventually rots

[red quest]

i doubt it has a dust cap

isnt this a dust cap?

cause it does not have one

[warm scarab]

yes

i mean its shape is different

speakers flex

that in the picture doesn't flex

the surround around it does

it just moves back and forth alongside ir

[red quest]

this is how it looks

[warm scarab]

oh its indented?

yeah its the cone then

yeah you can honestly glue that its fine

[red quest]

i guess xd

oh

[stuck bolt]

Hmm

[dapper wing]

I need help setting up audio for my setup. I have an ultrawide monitor, i sit fairly close to it. And my monitor doesn't have speakers so i was thinking of buying them. but then i started to wonder if i should try out a soundbar instead.

What do you guys think? Is a soundbar even worth it for a PC setup where i'm sitting close or not? Main purpose is to do gaming and watch movies/anime etc.

If you guys have any recommendations around the 60-80$ range please let me know.

I have been told to just get the creative pebble pros and not bother with sound bars. but i would like to get more opinions on this.

https://www.amazon.in/Stage-Under-Monitor-Subwoofer-Computers-Bluetooth/dp/B07NBF8ZXT/ref=sr_1_8?crid=AMQ5RPI6MHR1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.IjN65kXqJEfYUXeTQ-l1_7OS8zgKQGkgwlbiweCsIA4_u6SDPY06pXtPtAbh75Nf0ywZiaoiU3hSh3Tja9MTozAGl5T2TBmKBGu0FhQ6Ou-MED3AAKmaYm0OGAr8w8s5N_p9_Rtj0NI0EN1jywOAsdlrKxaZVaDGnAsT326tZjgWZNAnu2vYfSw3ICHMwp0oRnI9gY-QpVw0X9VEqux0Lw4aSpTX6MrPIkONzIuI-7U.uS2--l1TrFWV97RxHksf7zRKGK1BQBR75Xv4DWrPUNA&dib_tag=se&keywords=speaker+for+pc+computer&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1744146758&refinements=p_36%3A90000-&rnid=1318502031&sprefix=speaker+for+%2Caps%2C334&sr=8-8

I also saw this listing, listed specifically for ultrawide monitors... tho i don't understand how this soundbar is made specifically for that...?

[warm scarab]

sound bars typically become worth it when they can do stuff like auto room eq

which is several times more than your budget

so I would also recommend the pebbles

[dapper wing]

got it.

[warm scarab]

do mind not that even then they are still really mid

[dapper wing]

but are they recommended for PC setups in general tho?

[warm scarab]

soundbars?

[dapper wing]

oh wow.

[dapper wing]

ye

[warm scarab]

i mean its just a blocky speaker

its issue is that it has terrible size constraints which is the issue with most speakers in the first place

so high performing small speaker drivers are expensive and you'd have to pay a lot to get some that matches a regular quality speaker that does not have size constraints

[dapper wing]

I see i see.

[stark stratus]

can anyone help me find some good headsets?

for gaming and music

https://www.deltacogaming.com/product-page/dh310-stereo-gaming-headset-led-lights-black im pretty sure i theese rn

they suck sm😭 sound is so bad

[warm scarab]

budget?

[stark stratus]

Abt 100% doller

I live in denmark

[warm scarab]

what is 100 percent dollar

[stark stratus]

So 800 kr, can be a bit over

Oh im sorry😅

100 dollers

[warm scarab]

lmao

uh

cloud 2

👍

[stark stratus]

The hyperstar?

?

Hyper x i mean

Did u die?😭

[warm scarab]

yes hyperx

[stark stratus]

HyperX Cloud Alpha

Wireless

Or cloud 2?

[warm scarab]

cloud 2

in specific

[stark stratus]

Huh?

Wdym?

[stark stratus]

?

[warm scarab]

I recommend cloud 2 specifically

[stark stratus]

Ohhh

[stark stratus]

Why tho if i may ask?🙂

[warm scarab]

its good

and better than alpha and most other headphones of the same price bracket

at least headsets

[stark stratus]

How is it better then the alpha

They are more expensive

Sorry i know nothing abt headsets

[elder thistle]

now this is what I like to see

the person asking for help having some sense of goals or isn't ready to take a random mention as a purchase decision,

and the helpers providing not enough information

lol

but I don't have the normal cloud alpha, and my cloud 2 is the old version (though there should be a lot of similarities to the new cloud 2)

cloud alpha mic is generally seen as more crisp and understandable compared to cloud 2

cloud alpha S is a different product from the normal cloud alpha. the thick earpads damage some sound performance stuff like sense of direction or hearing quiet sounds as easily

but I can wear them forever

cloud 2 has slightly boosted bass and treble, and in most games that support accurate direction of sounds, it portrays them quite well except for vertical maybe

it's not the most detailed headphone at these prices, I'll sometimes miss important sounds because they were covered up by other sounds at the same time, when it was avoidable on different headphones

but still half decent there

[stark stratus]

@elder thistle thank u dude

[elder thistle]

yee

[stark stratus]

https://row.hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-ii-core-wireless-gaming-headset?variant=41652218691789

yo

[elder thistle]

no, the cloud 2 core is not the cloud 2

it's a completely different and lower end model

[stark stratus]

oh really?

theese? @elder thistle

they are discounted

[elder thistle]

that still says cloud 2 core...

I just said no

[stark stratus]

oh sorry

i though u said the cloud core and not jus cloud

mb

UHHHH

i dont think i can get the cloud 2

@elder thistle

[stark stratus]

is it suposed to be that much?

[stark stratus]

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/turtle-beach/atlas-air-wirelessand how abt theese?

[nova violet]

riddle me this... does Chrome not support anything beyond stereo sound? I can't get my subwoofer to output any sound from Chrome (2.1 setup)

nvm, it does, it would seem the limit is with Youtube Music website

[warm scarab]

you probably dont have enough volume

or the lowpass is set too low

[elder thistle]

I haven't tried these

I haven't tried a lot of less than 100 euro headsets in general

a lot of stuff from the u.s is not available there

nobody can give you an answer on what headset is probably best for you because we don't know your criteria

music and games is very vague

games are different, music is different

but again I can't be of much help

[stark stratus]

@elder thistle

yo

found the blackshark v2 for legit 21 dollers

is it a good buy until i can get somthing better?

[warm scarab]

i mean

why not get the something better now

and not trash 21 dollars

[nova violet]

Looks like with 5.1 set on Realtek drivers, I can't force audio to the sub in stereo mode - it truly has to be a multi channel audio source

[warm scarab]

what is the receiver like?

if you have one

how are these hooked up

[nova violet]

im on pc, 5.1 channel outputs on the motherboard. I have the sub plugged into Center out (with center/sub swap enabled in Realtek drivers). Front speaker are in Line Out

[warm scarab]

there should be an option to set that port as a regular stereo out on the realtek control panel

should work if you do that

and also tick the box that allows you to use multiple stereo outs

you could also use the front IO panel

[stark stratus]

yo laus

klaus

[warm scarab]

set it to 2.1 you dont need 5.1 settings

[stark stratus]

yo dude

[warm scarab]

yes

[stark stratus]

blackshark v2 used 2 years for 21 dollers

steal?

[warm scarab]

its trash

[stark stratus]

i have a deltaco gaming rn tho

[warm scarab]

i already replied to when you quoted the blackshark v2

[warm scarab]

upgraded from bottom barrel garbage to trash

congratulations

why not get like idk a good headphone in the 1st place

instead of another disposable headphone

[stark stratus]

because im poor rn dude

[warm scarab]

you had a 100 usd budget no

[stark stratus]

ill have to waits months to get the good ones

[warm scarab]

do you need a microphone

[stark stratus]

i could save up 100 doller

yes

[warm scarab]

what is your current budget

if not 100

[stark stratus]

60 dollers

btw i can get the black shark for 18 now

still trash??

[warm scarab]

its really bad

i mean hey

if you want to, go ahead

[nova violet]

5.1 settings is the only way ive found to activate the output to the sub

[stark stratus]

have u used it?

[warm scarab]

its probably better than what you have and if you dont want to spend like 50-60$ on a headset

by all means go ahead

[warm scarab]

yeah ive tested it

even if I hadn't anyone who can read a frequency response graph can also come to the same conclusion

[stark stratus]

why is it bad?

[warm scarab]

there should be a box you can check in order to output from the back and front panel stereo outs at the same time

find that, mark front io as stereo and connect sub to that

[warm scarab]

bloated bass

piercing highs

muffled mids

[stark stratus]

what

uhhh explain?

[warm scarab]

it doesnt sound good

I can't really explain to you how something sounds bad if you don't know the terminology for it

in any case I already made my statement

if you want something better than your headphones and dont want to pay a lot of money then go get the blacksharks

its a reasonable outcome if you dont have a high budget and saving up is an issue to you

[stark stratus]

but can i even get anything good for 60 dollers

[warm scarab]

well how much were the cloud 2 again

[stark stratus]

non core right?

[warm scarab]

yes

[stark stratus]

1000 dkk

[warm scarab]

i dont know what that means

[stark stratus]

150

dolla

[warm scarab]

yeah fuck that

thats a robbery

yeah honestly i dont know anything you can get for 60$ in that case

so even if undesireable blackshark may be your only option

maybe ask others and see if they have any headphones they recommend

[stark stratus]

and the thing is

i have birthday not so long from now

i can just wish me sum good

[warm scarab]

well

idk man give me a budget and features you want

ill tell you what you can get

to the extent of my knowledge

[stark stratus]

well i think i can get 150 in birthday gift

[warm scarab]

dont get the cloud 2

[stark stratus]

and i just want good sound for gaming and music

[warm scarab]

its worth it for 50$

[nova violet]

genius! 🙂

it works

[warm scarab]

its not worth for 150$

[stark stratus]

and a OK mic

[warm scarab]

you are welcome

[stark stratus]

so rn i buy the blackshark?

[warm scarab]

thats the only thing that comes to mind on a sub 60$ budget

maybe ask someone else

[stark stratus]

btw my mics fr dont have a rating

someone else said ok get them

he also said they r shit

but 20 dolla is steal

[nova violet]

alright klaus, one more question, this time mic related, if you dont mind?

[warm scarab]

sure

[stark stratus]

so klaus, sould i get them and just wish me sum better in birthday

but i could also just keep mine rn

[warm scarab]

its your choice man

[stark stratus]

thyere bad but ig i can wait

[nova violet]

I have a fifine XLR/USB mic that I have connected to USB. I use it mainly for Discord and Microsoft Teams. I have noticed a bug in Discord with this mic, wherein inbetween times of push to talk, stopping, and push to talk again, my voice pitch will go up to something high pitched.
I have not had this issue in MS Teams, but there the mic doesnt use a push to talk.

I've been asking around in Discord tech support for months, but no one has an answer

[warm scarab]

thats incredibly odd

never heard of that one before

did you try reinstalling drivers

[nova violet]

its just default windows drivers afaik

[warm scarab]

id try on another pc

try to figure out whether its software or hardware

[nova violet]

its random on discord, I cant actively replicate it

it just happens

[warm scarab]

idk do a dual boot and use that one for a while lol

[nova violet]

my friends just start giggling at me, and I know at that point in time that I sound like a chipmunk!

[warm scarab]

oh actually

hang on

are you on windows 11 or 10

[nova violet]

11

[warm scarab]

go to sound settings

[nova violet]

I cant recall this issue while in win10, to note

[warm scarab]

in there find "More sound settings" option

to return to the win 7 control panel version of sound settings

[nova violet]

yup

[warm scarab]

go to the recording tab and find your mic

go to properties

advanced

and disable all the shit there

[nova violet]

all this?

[warm scarab]

yeah

i was hoping there was also a disable audio effects option but

ig not

[nova violet]

its quite basic

[warm scarab]

yeah

[nova violet]

dynamic mic etc

[warm scarab]

anyhow this is all i can remember

you should do the regular system repair stuff like sfc scannow etc

maybe do a windows install that keeps programs and files installed

and nuke discord with its %appdata content

make sure the realtek or other audio programs arent messing with the mic

[nova violet]

my realtek audio console app doesnt have any recording options 😦

[warm scarab]

no idea

[nova violet]

mhm, i'll go with this for now, everything disabled. If it still happens, I'll delete the appdata of discord

the only advice I got from Discord support was to disable noise suppression, which I did

havnt played with auto gain control, I'll try that as a next step as well

just really chillin out now with my subwoofer working again, thanks to you. This track is my test run: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=N5XYFook7tI&si=CO_uSug3vC7GtHe6

[warm scarab]

🔥

[nova violet]

ah load it up in youtube then? not sure

discord might not allow it

[lean grove]

@warm scarab my headphones won't turn on can you help me please

[warm scarab]

budget?

[lean grove]

I only play marvel rivals

[warm scarab]

try sprinkling multiple home cleaning supplies on them until funny vapor comes off of them

those are evil spirits leaving your headphones

[lean grove]

Okay! 👍😁

[nova violet]

they lick your ears

theese any good?

[warm scarab]

no

[lean grove]

😔

[warm scarab]

not really

[stark stratus]

Aight

How is the 3 not better then 2?

[warm scarab]

because higher number does not indicate better quality

[hidden pendant]

yooo

guess the source

[elder thistle]

does it deserve to exist

also I have the incredible urge to take a scalpel to that tweeter and see how they did the voice coil

[exotic yacht]

man

my IEMs have some static on whatever i use them on

is it some issue with them

or do they just do that

[tawdry gale]

are u plugging it directly into ur pc?

[exotic yacht]

i tried PC, jack to jack, usb c to jack (2 different adapters)

[hidden pendant]

It's just a normal coil

[tawdry gale]

what adaptors are they

[exotic yacht]

relatively cheap ones tbf

some romanian brands

perhaps its the IEMs fault

i have 2 cheap ones

the tangzu wan'er and kz edx pro

both have this issue

[buoyant vale]

If your source gear is shitty and your iems sensitive then you will get noise

[exotic yacht]

my motherboard cant be that bad

gigabyte z690 ud

like its not the best im aware

[buoyant vale]

motherboards are notoriously bad

[exotic yacht]

thats fair

i replaced the cable on the wan'er with one one on the kz edx, and it now seems better?

[tawdry gale]

get an apple dongle

[exotic yacht]

works on any phone I assume

[tawdry gale]

yes

[exotic yacht]

hm

[exotic yacht]

it worked

thanks

[tawdry gale]

[unique wind]

i underestimated how annoying reflections can be with speakers on a desk

i had to pull out the figurative scalpel in EQ

playin around with sine sweeps and eq apo

[zenith pawn]

trying to combine my blue snowball with my phone mic and its predictably not working

the imaging gets super duper weird

and audacity sucks so its not really helping

it could be a timing mismatch because there is horrible time skew between my phone and pc

its audibly delayed after 30 seconds of recording

i think it is wiser for me to just use my phone alone for sound instead of trying to make some fucked up a-b + center cardioid setup that nobody in the world does

[dull trout]

home properly grounded?

or at least your plug has proper grounding?

noise could just be from bad grounding

i happen to face this all the time, always 9 time out of 10 new dongle fixes the issue

[stuck bolt]

Have you tried putting one of those fluffy pillows or blankets on your desk, it does wonders

Also, a cat is awesome at sound absorption

[exotic yacht]

it seemed buying the apple one did the trick

[dull trout]

thats good

static is just usually bad grounding or you have equipment leaking static

some static would hurt, dont ask how i know lol

[exotic yacht]

@haughty girder well.. the missus made a bag for them

[verbal fog]

speakers so good i wish i could put them into my car,,,

[stone quartz]

Is the FiiO K9 any good?

[unique wind]

naw

i put a high q cut at 145Hz after playing around with tone generators

it made a tremendous improvement

i know this looks insane but it helps sooo much

im experimenting with a range of gain values rn but 145Hz 6Q seems to be the best

[unique wind]

i think -12dB might be meta

[haughty girder]

aye that's fire

[steel escarp]

get a MiniDSP UMIK-1 second hand

then sell it second hand again for the exact same price

[red quest]

This beast made my phone's camera unfocus😂

[molten lotus]

actually i should ask this here: having some problem with my hyperx cloud iiis, specifically the DAC
loud popping and crackling can be heard, regardless of usb/usbc port used
the last time i had this happen (also with a hyperx headset) you could update the drivers from the hyperx specific ones to the microsoft generic ones and you wouldn't have this issue but they're already using the generic drivers on the new DACs so

and the reason i don't use it with motherboard audio is because of crosstalk between the input and output (so people can hear whatever i'm listening to)

[dull trout]

what exactly are you tryin to run? or what kind of tracks do you want to play?

[dapper wing]

Need recommendations for buying speakers for PC. I would prefer to spend around 3-4k rupees but i can stretch upto 6k. (i guess thats around 30-40$ and stretch upto 60-70$)
Currently consideiring the Creative Pebble Pros but i am wondering if there are any alternative products or anything that can give me similar quality for cheaper price. Primary use is movies, gaming, anime music etc

PS: Are soundbars in this price range even worth it?

[lean grove]

Creative pebbles are as good as it gets for that price range.

And sound bars maybe, but most are unverified and they could be bad or they could be good

[dapper wing]

I see I see.

Main reason I'm getting speakers is cuz I've been using my in ear neckband for everything. And while I keep volume low, I use them for like 10-14 hours each day. And I've already started to experience some low ringing sound whenever I put them on.
I wanna get speakers to reduce this dependency on in ear earphones.
I have heard that headphones are better than in ear earphones. Tho I am not sure.

[lean grove]

In-ears are really cost effective, and if your budget is under $100 in-ears are the best bang for buck.

[dapper wing]

Yeah but I already have in ears and they're kind of harming my ears... I think

[lean grove]

And it's arguable that $100 earbuds can compete with top of the line headphones. Depending on who you ask.

But yeah comfort is a big problem

[dapper wing]

Plus it feels kinda suffocating having them in my ears all day long.

And the ringing. Is my main concern.

[elder thistle]

maybe the z313 if you have the budget and want a subwoofer

didn't have the whole kit, but I do like how those sattelites sound. solid treble extension and some detail, comparable to pebbles

once in a while there's also real 3.5" speakers in that pricerange. pitbull headliner hd3 was basically a dt990 250r in speaker form, minus the precise imaging

but at any rate, almost anything with a tweeter is a whole shelf up in what it can do sound-wise

that's very subjective and generalized

these seem legit but I have no idea how they sound nor do I specifically endorse them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTNX7VLW

example of creative pebbles vs some $100ish 3.5" speakers

[dapper wing]

Okay wow. The difference is... Noticeable.

[dapper wing]

The Z313 and these aren't available in India 🥲

This is one of the things about living here. Many of the actually good tech products aren't available to buy :/

[elder thistle]

o

[stone quartz]

I have Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro headphones at the moment. I listen to a mix of just about everything, but I've found that my Denon receiver's headphone output distorts on bass heavy stuff.

Hoping for an amplifier that won't distort at high volume

[elder thistle]

hm

well it shouldn't take much tbh

receivers often use a voltage divider system to send the speaker outputs to the headphone outputs

which means the signal still falls victim to behaviors near the voltage limits of the speaker amps

bass takes a lot of voltage

[dull trout]

eh honestly K9 is too powerful for what you want to do

any dacamp, even portable ones actually should be able to provide you what you need

although if you are fixated on it, that is quite an awesome dac

[chrome imp]

Does anyone have a recommendation for an A/V receiver for a 5.1.2 setup? Currently thinking about the Sony STR-DH790 as it can be had for about $300 on ebay which i feel is a good price

[dapper wing]

https://amzn.in/d/cTkJEcO

What about these? Creative T60 are they good?

[low swallow]

guys thoughts on the logitech g pro X 2nd gen headset?

i know that you people HATE headsets but i'd still like to know what yall think of that specific one (i currently have the hyperx cloud alpha)

[haughty girder]

Cloud Alpha is among the best in terms of closed back headsets

it's not tuned to absolute garbage

built decently

bc it's based off takstar pro 80

now Alpha S and newer have angled drivers which screw with tuning so ignore those

G pro X headsets is so stupid

there was a period of time (a few years ago) where we'd get at least one a day with the exact same issue with it not working

[exotic yacht]

my sister has a g435 or whatever

[haughty girder]

I'd say just avoid any logitech audio in general

[exotic yacht]

biggest bullcrap ever

[low swallow]

yeah i did hear about the driver issued

[warm scarab]

logitech 🚮

[zenith pawn]

logical technology gaming

i can only say from having a g430 from 2016 but it is terrible

"7.1 surround sound" yet the imaging does not creat any sound more than like 1 foot away

like the dsp for the "7.1 surround" doesnt even really work as well as just regular passive iems

[elder thistle]

what was the issue?

[cobalt fern]

Does anyone know if the moondrop space travel has a master/slave connection or do the earpieces work independent of one another?

[charred gust]

Whats a good/affordable 5.1 audio solution for a PC?
is bluetooth good enough? (pc has pcei bluetooth card)
hdmi?

i was running spif in 2.1+subwoofer
and the old dvd player burned out

looking for an upgrade, and have some speakers i can throw up for full 5.1
as always thanks in advance for any advice

[dull trout]

all tws in general has a master slave connection when both turned on

one will only turn into a master if another is turned off

[cobalt fern]

Yes, but I meant it as in can I use either just the left or just the right while the other earpiece is turned off?

On my sony xb700 i can't use the right earpiece if the left one isn't on since the left one is the master and it is the one in charge of the connection

[dull trout]

yes. no problem
maybe i shouldnt have used this terminology lol but my answer here implies you can use them independently

[dull trout]

i see, the space travel should be able to just fine

[charred gust]

are these things ever good?

i think this is the kind of thing i would aim for, but its double what i have for a budget
https://www.aiyima.com/products/aiyima-a09

[stone quartz]

You're probably better off buying an amplifier from an established manufacturer used

Those AIYIMA ones aren't too bad, though

[uneven mountain]

Got some soundmagic e11c's and eq'd them, wonder what everyone thinks of the eq band. Lol.

This is the frequency response btw

[zenith pawn]

flat frequency response??? on a headphone???!

i dont blame you

[uneven mountain]

Yeah, and surprisingly, the subbass is pretty damn good. Even eq'd like that, its not muddy.

Just loud.

Not bad for $8 earbuds.

Any tips to reduce sound i have noisey roomates also ,

i buyed bose quitecomfort ( 2024 ) for around Rs. 16k but its Anc is terrible indoors which other headphones should i m planning to buy Realme Buds Air 6 pro with 52dB anc will that be any better or CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ME ANY BETTER OPTION ( under $100 ) except APPLE ? pls try to keep it under $80 im broke 😔

[vivid lagoon]

Try in-ears under earmuffs?

[haughty girder]

from where

this looks... really bad

Chances are its compensated with Harman

and if that's the case, that's not bad other than having no treble extension

[zenith pawn]

i tried to reverse image search that graph but it didn;'t work

[molten lotus]

whts the issue with them can u pls elaborate i like the sarcasm tho

will putting hard foam under my sub make any difference because it is on carpet

Found some foam like stuff and I was wondering if it's worth it

The port is on the bottom of the sub

[wintry mirage]

i have some hard backed books i was using but i think this is better

[fringe meteor]

it seems like usb to 3.5mm adapter have some sort of slight startup delay like bluetooth

is it possible to make it always on like normal 3.5mm and get rid of all the faint startup delay?

btw the audio hardware on my laptop is pretty much botched so i have to rely on either usb or hdmi

[wet turtle]

Hi, what would be the better option between the hd660s2 and the hd600? price difference being around 70usd more for the hd660s2

[elder thistle]

what are you trying to achieve or use it for

[wet turtle]

General use like music, gaming, and youtube

[elder thistle]

that's still pretty vague but ok

the hd600 is a rather revealing headphone with realistic tone and real life instruments, doesn't have much bass unless you use eq to boost it

the hd660s2 is supposed to have more bass and be way more spacious and accurate with positions of sounds in games that support it, but the tone is not as realistic and weird

so without knowing genres, exact game titles, what you prioritize etc. makes it impossible to give a useful guess

also I don't have the 660s2, but it's often chosen when the reasons I described are important to someone and the choice is between those two headphones

[kindred mica]

Hey I didn’t have a pc and just build one after 5 years without pc gaming. Now I am looking for some audio setup to game.
My plan right now: I found some barley used (less than 20hrs) HD598 SE at home. So I am considering getting a modmic + dac. Is this still the way to go or are there better solutions / suggestions on what I should get instead?

Thanks a ton! 😅

[uneven mountain]

I eq'd them on my desktop.

sounds better, lol.

but not enough sub bass tho.

[lean grove]

Modmic + DAC is fine. But it kinda locks you into a mediocre mic and a mediocre DAC.

If you're able to, consider a desktop USB mic with a boom arm. Something like a fifine t669, Samson q2u, atr-2100x, then that would be better than a modmic by a long shot.

[stone quartz]

I wonder if these are any good over long distances

[haughty girder]

I've used smth very similar acc

they work great until they don't

but I don't really have any issue with em

[hidden pendant]

They can be decent enough just get good shielded wire

[stuck bolt]

I've done this in my last studio, it worked well.

[primal fulcrum]

SubWoofer is 90% of good sound

[zenith pawn]

true

even my iems have a subwoofer smh

[warm scarab]

cap

[zenith pawn]

where's the bass

[warm scarab]

in the balls

or the speaker

you dont need a subwoofer if you have good speakers

[zenith pawn]

Where to get ball speakers

[warm scarab]

go to a trucker bathroom and ask if you can get some balls

[unique wind]

full range speakers are expensive

can you buy me some please klaus

pretty please

idk what nutella tastes like but i think it's hazelnut chocolate

[warm scarab]

wait you never had nutella?

[unique wind]

nop

[warm scarab]

that is actually bonkers holy shit

ive never spoken to a person who hasn't had nutella in my life up until this moment

do grilles effect sound quality, like them metal ones on pa speakers

[warm scarab]

yes to some degree

[red current]

i bought some iems but they have a static sound no matter what volume level i am using them at. i read online that a dac or amp could fix this. any suggestions for a relativily cheap dac?

[warm scarab]

apple usb c to 3.5 dongle

[red current]

for pc?

[warm scarab]

yes

[haughty girder]

It's good, but it's not good quality chocolate.

Purists will hate it

I do enjoy my 70% madegascar dark chocolate but nutella/ferro rocher are simply fire

[warm scarab]

its like 30% fat its not really supposed to be good quality chocolate

you cant spread a 70% on bread thats what nutella guns for

also ferro rochers are great yeah

[haughty girder]

Nutella originated during a cocoa shortage lmao

[warm scarab]

lmao

[haughty girder]

so it was hazelnuts, sugar, and a relatively low amount of actual cooca

but it was good so can't really complain

[warm scarab]

I mean honestly speaking

as far as being a chocolate it may not go far but hazelnuts aren't a cheap component either

its a good thing for what it is meant to be doing, doesn't cheap out and has been consistent in its recipe for decades now

other stuff I usually consumed has significantly deteriorated while nutella has always been the same so I respect that part of their company

[haughty girder]

at the time Hazelnuts was much cheaper than cocoa bc of the shortage lol

[warm scarab]

yeah thats a fair assessment, not right now though

[haughty girder]

ofc

but if its loved as it is

[warm scarab]

keep it as it is

[haughty girder]

exactly

[celest galleon]

so talking headphones for music and watchign videos, the 2 important factors are high noise cancelling as the most important, as well as longevity. dont want to need a replacement when they suddenly stop working after a year or less. battery life just needs to be decent to get through 1 day (4 hours active + 8 hours idle). sound quality is pretty whatever tbh, sth mediocre will do.
needs to be wireless and compatible with any OS, at least Ios, windows and android.
aesthetics absolutely dont matter, as well as a microphone or other features. it really just needs to be good at isolating outside noises, while lasting the day and not breaking down for no reason.

preference: over ear > in ear > on ear

location: germany, use "geizhals.de" if u want to look for prices.
ideally something around 100€ or less. but unless the whole package is miles better, preferably wouldnt wanna pay twice the price for 1 or 2 things that probably arent even the wanted core features, but im happy to see multiple choices and evaluate 😊

thanks for any help 🙂

[celest galleon]

after watching some reviews, the Edifier W820NB Plus or W830NB seem like a great choice

anyone know any good headphones to pair with my komplete audio 1? (for a lil bit of gaming, a LOT of spotify, and some bass guitar playing)

budget is anything £65 and under

$86.23 for all of yall americans out there

[elder thistle]

but for what kinds of games and music genres

[lean bramble]

what

[old abyss]

all i can give as an example is gta fortnite for games and for music rock (arctic monkeys mainly)

[red quest]

I found this looking through my dads stuff, is it any good?

[celest galleon]

plug it in, see if you like it.

reviews and enthusiasts can tell you what the average person likes, but if you already got it at home, you are the only person that decides what sounds good and what doesnt 😊

[warm scarab]

if you dont have decent dedicated speakers probably

[red quest]

How can i though, they are meant for cars

[celest galleon]

well if u dont have a way of using them thats a different question

[red quest]

i really dont sadly

i'd want to use it, my dad doesnt let me though

just wanted to test it

xD

i cant though can i then?

[warm scarab]

you plug them into an amplifier

and your pc to the amplifier

but yeah you would probably be better off saving 300$ for some decent studio monitors over those anyways

maybe even 110$ edifiers

doubt they were anything outstanding

[red quest]

got an amp

but how will i give the amp power?

[warm scarab]

plug it into a socket ?

[red quest]

?

wdym?

what socket

?

[warm scarab]

like the wall plug?

the sockets you plug appliances in your home to?

does it not have a plug?

[old jacinth]

Just purchased the Corsair HS80's. They sounds pretty great TBH. Anyone else use these any issues or tweaks you have for them?

[stone quartz]

These are the first dual-mono headphones I've seen

I guess audiometric is the right term

[raw raptor]

probably been asked a million times but, can anyone recommend a good mic/headset combo? I don't really have the space for a stand alone headset/mic. I suppose I could as long as the mic doesn't require a boom arm. I'm also open to IEMS if anyone knows of anything good. I've always just had a gaming headset as a one shop stop solution for gaming.

[raw raptor]

I guess I could also use my Pixel buds since i have BT now lol

[warm scarab]

balanced

most headphones with swappable cable you can use balanced with

its a matter of cable and amplifier

no sense in using balanced with a bridged amp which is like 99% of amps

[red quest]

Huh

Like an outlet?

Or whatever its called

[warm scarab]

yes

do you not have a power plug

[stone quartz]

I'm used to seeing a single 4.4 rather than two 6.35s

[warm scarab]

audio interfaces generally have dual 6.3 outs at the back

its probably for that

im glad susvara allowed for you to see where you belong

[pure cave]

i have dt 1990

[zenith pawn]

truthear zero red 🗣️

[pure cave]

good to know that that is a headphone

[zenith pawn]

it certainly has a value associated to it

[red quest]

Its a car amp?

[warm scarab]

bruh

[red quest]

Yeahh

[warm scarab]

get a stereo amp

[red quest]

?

[warm scarab]

google

[zenith pawn]

Do car amps not amp

[red quest]

🔥

[red quest]

I connected it to this ,,boombox"

[warm scarab]

lmao

[warm scarab]

hard to plug into something

[haughty girder]

dual mono... doesn't that make that stereo?

like, a single channel is mono

two mono channels with left and right bias turns it into stereo

[zenith pawn]

i guess thats probably referring to the cable which is two mono tr cables

[haughty girder]

yeah, that's what balanced is

each channel gets its own ground

also it's TS cable not TR

[zenith pawn]

typo

[uneven escarp]

yes

32bit 384khz

[lean grove]

how many servers did you post this in

[uneven escarp]

yes

I apologise for being excited

[sick terrace]

only as long as the left and right channels contain different information

[haughty girder]

I literally said that

lol

also not that it contain different information

because dual TS isn't a digital signal, it doesn't carry "information" but rather "signal" or "waves"

[warm scarab]

you can say that for every headphone

doesnt make them mono

prolly the wrong place to ask ,... but someone might know so 🙂 im looking for a VST: a linear EQ , but as simple as possible (small footprint) only requirement is that it can set the buffer size in samples (the low ranges (4-8)-16-32-64, and has a control for frq and for hi pass / lo pass , and Q (fine grained) , no gui but native controls would be nice , the closest thing i found is Filtrate x64 wich is actually a bit on the heavy side (and way overkill), im currently in the process of setting up Visual Studio with JUICE but never programmed a vst before , and never did C on windows either so ... if anyoine knows one or has experience with creating one thanx 🙂

[granite drum]

or every ear has its own seperate ground connection, in terms of mixing it would mean that you cont create a mid channel by playing the full spectrum trough every speaker (like for disco's and big parties so everybody can hear the whole song and not the left side the guitar and the right side the bass 🙂

if it is the first btw , if they twist the source wire and the ground wire they cancel eachother out in terms of interfernce( like in a twisted utp pair) and the result is less environmental pickup, if you use a single wire for the ground it carries the combined singnals to ground wich does not result in cancelling out either one of the other and thus has less protection agains environmental pickup 🙂

[warm scarab]

what will you run the vst on?

[granite drum]

both windows and wine , mostly ableton 12 but possibly also flstudio as i use one as a vst in the other 🙂

[warm scarab]

so through a daw

[granite drum]

yeah

[warm scarab]

i dont think you can get what you want in 1 vst honestly

but overall it sounds like you could make use of reaper vsts

[granite drum]

this is a bit overkill already so :

i liked their demo version better (but its 32bit only)

[warm scarab]

what makes this overkill exactly

sounds like what you asked for

[granite drum]

yeah its that im making a 100% transparent 5 bandsplitter , so thats 10, and then 10 again for the sidechannels , for each trak i use that bandsplitter on 🙂 hence why i want its foot print to be low.

[warm scarab]

ah

[granite drum]

the gui in part , as moving a slider also changes the graph and what not and its not the most responsive , when using that much and there is a bug in it that wen you turn on a filter using midi you have a 50% chance of it not working (the light turns on but the filter does not engage)

this is what the demo(32bit) version of that was :

[warm scarab]

maybe running this with an adapter vst could have a smaller overall footprint than just the x64

[granite drum]

yeah i have jbridge somewhere but that would not be a setup id trust for anything other than testing as if you want to load the same track again couple years later and you are now relying on both the daw,being mostly the same the vst still working on windows and the jbridge ting still being availeble 🙂

gues i i can figure out how you create a vst3 using JUICE , the mathematics i can do for the filter eg but i have no idea how to set up a windows dev environment lol

[elder thistle]

these aren't linear eq's

though I would be curious to see if there are linear eq vst's with adjustable frequency

[warm scarab]

time to learn how to use reaper ig lol

native 32 support

[elder thistle]

wtf

[elder thistle]

do not plug this into your audio interface as mentioned

[warm scarab]

yeah

since most studio monitors have trs inputs

[elder thistle]

the outputs on the rear of an audio interface are DAC outputs, outputting balanced alongside a ground, all 3 of those wires are active

you will instantly overcurrent the audio interface and probably destroy those ports

[warm scarab]

dont put a ts into a trs out?

[elder thistle]

they are exclusively designed for a 40Kohm load, the input stage of an op amp in an active speaker
