    Newb Linux, Dual Boot XP Home, and Linux?

    Both can read FAT32, but if you want to avoid that (and you should) you can use FS-Share so that Windows can read/write to an EXT3 partition.

    c/c++... help the newbie

    A lot of people don't attend intro classes because they already know the material. A lot of people going into comp sci already know all the basics, but still need some "intro" course requirement before they can apply for the major. I could of skipped my "intro" course, but I enjoy classes so...

    Python Question

    Genius. Only downside to recursion is the large stack buildup. But algorithmically, it is beautiful.

    My father demands we stop folding.

    I am not trying to be rude, so please take this as constructive criticism. A large part of a job interview is to assess your communication skills, and from that how you would fit into the work-team environment. That being said, I can tell from reading your posts that you have some difficulties...

    How do people put techno beats to everyday songs?

    Well, first of all, most DJs that are publishing actual remixes aren't doing it from a CD they have laying around. They get access to multi-track version of the song (via the publisher or artist I assume), so that they can remix each component individually.

    Looking for closed headphones

    For ~$100 you can get a pair of Sennheiser 280-Pro, they are closed and have good ambient noise filtering, as well as very good set of phones.

    Best speakers for g/f?

    Don't buy it for the audio. Buy it for the snowmen. You should buy 25 sets of those and set them up all around your house (or better yet outside your house). Then play creepy music through them. Or chanting of some sort. If you are creative enough you can give people nightmares.

    PS3 Commercials. Sony?

    So how come my MP3 discman that I got many years ago is still working, plays any MP3 thrown at it (VBR etc), and is one of the few I've seen that will display CD Text? I've got plenty of problems with Sony, but never had a problem with their simple audio equipment (CDs not included :) )

    Is Vista going to be another ME????

    Please :rolleyes: I have to assume you mean, "RC2 has 500 known and documented bugs left." As for the actual number of bugs in any piece of software, "Like anyone could even know that." Remember, testing does not prove the absence of defects.

    DFI Onboard Audio Problem

    Important PS. Sorry, I have DFI onboard audio working, but I do not have the Karajan module. I didn't have much to do for mine other than enable it in BIOS and the OS. You probably want to check out: DFI Street

    newbie C++ question

    Your indentation is not proper. You should really try to keep things at the correct indention level since it makes your code much easier to read.

    winamp, foobar, WMP. What do you use to listen to music

    In regards to foobar2000: Yes, depending on your definition of sound quality and what you are looking to get out of it. Specifically, I can identify 2 mods I personally use, and there are others that other people use to suit their taste. 1. "Tube" sound, is a mod specifically designed to...

    winamp, foobar, WMP. What do you use to listen to music

    Is this a philosphy question or practical question? There are many situations where the same thing can be accomplished more easily, however, there is a lot to be said for taking the more difficult route. Practically, with foobar2000 you can customize the heck out of the player. I can set it...

    Quiet or subdued sounding FLACs?

    I misunderstood about where the errors were occuring. I have used Winamp to a limited degree, and I did not experience any trouble with it. You can turn off replay-gain in Winamp, so I'd suggest that to maybe help with the sound issues you are experiencing. As for the stopping playback on...

    Quiet or subdued sounding FLACs?

    There should be any difference at all in a FLAC encoding. The 2 things that come to mind: 1. That is not a smooth conversion; you shouldn't have those errors you mentioned. That would probably indicate an improperly constructed WAVE file which could be the source of your problem. 2...

    Converting MP3's to WAV

    No, you still missed the point as evidenced by: No loss is going to occur from converting an mp3 to a WAVE. The wasn't the point being made. The point was that the loss already occured when you originally converted the original WAVE to an mp3. Even though you are converting back to WAVE...

    from onboard to X-Fi, how do I remove Realtek

    Yup, you don't need to go so far as to strip out all the drivers and break the chips off the motherboard. You would probably be fine just disabling the hardware from the Device Manager in windows, or even better as suggested through BIOS.

    All-In-One audio card?

    Forewarning, this post is dripping with bias. Now, are you planning on doing pro-audio? If you just plan on listening to music I highly doubt the resampling is going to affect you. In fact, you should be more worried about your speakers or headphones for sound quality. If you plan on...

    Suggestion: Subforums for "Computer Audio"

    That is a good point. I don't check on this daily, so I don't have a good handle on the overall amount of throughput the forum sees. But from my point of view, there is a large separation between these two categories depending on your purposes. If one of the subforums ended up never having...

    Suggestion: Subforums for "Computer Audio"

    Hey all, Just a suggestion to create 2 subforum levels for the Computer Audio forum. One would be for gaming audio and the other for music/"audiophile" type audio. I say this because the information is very divergent for these two groups and advice in one doesn't really apply to the other...

    newbie java question

    Ok, sorry I've not used Jasper reports before, and was assuming it was installable and gave you Windows based instructions. I looked at the JAR and it does not appear to be executable. Basically, it is filled with compiled .class files. You should be able to use these directly by including...

    Dell Strikes Back - editorial @ [H] Consumer

    I had such a poor experience with Dell's customer support last year, that I don't know if I could ever be convinced to deal with them again. It is not fun or confidence-instilling to be fed lines in broken English, only to get the problem instantly resolved when Visa speaks for you. And my...

    nyquist theorm and sampling ?

    As a side-note on DVD-A, the feature I like is that it opens up the realm of 5.1 music recording. CDs are limited to stereo. I got a few CDs recently that came bundled with a DVD 5.1 version. Let's just say the 5.1 is the musician's playground. While the fun may not be realistic in the...

    How good are your ears?

    How come whenever the subject of ABX is brought up, those that can hear differences in the music disappear? Don't get me wrong, I believe that harmonics are important and that mastering music at least at the level of 24/96 is essential to producing a quality recording. In fact, I got my...
