I typically don't keep order confs from over a year ag, that email is toast. I did a search in the hotdeals section too just to make sure I wasn't directed to another site from there. Next plan is maybe to dig through various credit card statements from the end of last year looking for online...

Wasn't sure where to ask this, sorry! So in short *I need to RMA my Sandisk extreme 240gb SSD, purcased last year. I assume I need to get a copy of the invoice as usual *I can't for the life of me remember where I bought it, checked the usual suspects (Amazon/Egg) So the question if anyone...

Thanks! This sounds lik eit could work. Could you do me one more favor and post a direct link to the file download please? I'm having... a certain issue :P Also: To the ifrst replyer, removing the AMD audio driver did not work. It simply changed it to a generic HDmi output, but still says...

Ok, here is my situation My setup : 1. Stereo, with the HDMI input going to my HD 6900 card 2. Stereo, with the HHDMi output going to my projector as a 2nd monitor 3. This should work, but in the sound options it says "AMD High Definition Audio - NOT PLUGGED IN 4. I can hear the confirmation...

My Denon AVR-1612 finally died out on me, so I am looking for a replacement 5.1 receiver. I don't have much knowledge on audio equipment so, I hope someone can guide me to a good option I would like the keep the price modest, perhaps in the ~300 range. Currently the only thing I intend to...

If this is out of place, sorry about that feel free to delete. I'm technically justifying this question by calling it an accessory for my display, haha. Anyways I'm trying to find some quality blackout curtains for my Projector room, and it's driving me crazy. Everything I look at always lets...

Yeah I'm thinking closer to around 50, these are just for my mom and she's not exactly picky about quality, and she's not going to blast them at super high volume either.

I've got some old Polk TSi100 bookshelfs collecting dust, so I would like to connect them to my mothers PC (she's using monitor speakers, yuck). So I'm looking for recommendations on a wallet-friendly 2 channel amp to power them. It lists a recommended 20-100 watts per channel, so I imagine 30...

Oh thanks a lot, it looks like this thread has all the info I need

I have the Klipsch RW-12d as seen here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882780078 I didn't know until recently that it has an IR censor for remotes. I would like to get one, but I have absolutely no clue what remotes would be compatible with it. Can anyone suggest one...

This is really weird. I purchased a pair of V-MODA M-100 headphones, and when I plug them *securely* into my Xonar DX the sound becomes very low and distorted. Pulling the plug ever so slightly out will fix the problem, but I hardly consider that a fix. The sound card does not have this...

Thanks, I've looked at reviews of all of them and if I end up needing one I'll come bacto sort through them to pick one. I actually didn't realize I sort of have an amp sitting right in front of me inside my Audionegine A5's haha. But I'm not sure how that would work out, I'd have to use RCA...

I don't know what the DX has, but I can say it could get the HD 598 "~50 ohm" headphones to quite a high volume, but fell just a little bit short of my loudest listening level at 100% on the 598's. The M-100's are 32 ohm, but I'm clueless as to how much of a difference that ~28 ohms makes. If...

Thanks I'll mention that I'm planning on trying out V-MODA M-100 headphones(actually don't have them yet), and my sound card is an Xonar DX

(meant to say headphone amps) I see lots of people recommend the E11, but I'm wondering what opinions here are in the sub-$100 range. The thing is I don't *need* the amp to be portable, so if there are better non-portable options I'd like to hear them. edit- I'll mention that I'm planning on...

Damn it, got my hopes up. I recently got the 598's and had them refunded due to a defect. Would've liked to try these as a replacement.

Everyone should do this, I wouldn't want that bulky monstrosity sitting on my desk to begin with. (6.5" by 5.3"))

edit: oh nevermind, it switched back to $119 again. Weird.

Thanks alll, I'll look them all over Well to be specific the problem is the depth, not the width of the cuffs. For instance the DT-880/990's are quite shallow and I'm pretty sure most peoples ears touch the inside. It doesn't bother most people, but for some people like me it's completely...

Most recently I tried the DT-880's due to their great reviews about how comfy they are, but as usual that proved false for me and had to return them. A huge problem I have with most headphones is my ears rubbing against the inner part, this will make my ears very sore in a matter of minutes...

Thanks, I figured they were recorded differently, but didn't think the range was so huge. I have a question about the amp power then. Say I have a "loud" and a "quiet" show both play at 0db volume, will the "quiet" one use less power? I'm not familiar with how that all works, so I just want...

I'm bitstreaming to my Denon 1612 receiver through HDMI, in a 5.1 setup. All the speakers are 89-91 sensitivity. Some of my media is too loud at 0db (which I believe is normal). However my problem is some of the TV shows I have are so quiet that it makes me want to push them beyond 0db to get a...

It's a Denon 1612, I'll try some other players/codecs later and see how that goes.

Oh, I had to enable the "AC3 (S/PDIF encode mode) option. That fixes the problem for the rest of my media stuff. But of course other sounds outside ffdshow still cause the noise, is there any way to get the receiver to handle *everything*, not just the stuff passed from FFDshow?

I tried lowering the PC volume, and although it lowers the volume it has no effect on the hiss whatsoever. Even if I mute the PC volume, the noise is still there when a signal is being sent. Only adjusting the receiver volume makes it louder or softer, it becomes audible from a distance at...

I'm not sure how to explain tnis since I'm not that knowledgable, but I'll try! This is how I have things connected: Video card HDMI >> Receiver >> 5 speakers+sub When I use hdmi passthrough and bitstream to the receiver, this problem does not exist. However, when the PC is handling the...

For Media Player Classic I see the problem, I'm just trying to find the settings to change the output to match the input. This is what FFDshow is saying Input: AC3, 5.1, 48000 Hz Output: PCM, stereo, 48000 Hz edit: ah enabling dolby passthrough in the ffdshow options fixed it, yay. Now onto...

Hmm I spoke too soon about *all* of the speakers working, I just assumed they would since front left/right were fine. After hooking up the center and surround channels - the test tones are working fine, but test tones are the only thing that work for those channels. Basically I'm only getting...

Thanks! Changing the setting from "LFE" to "LFE+Main" was all I had to do. All better now

This is how I have things connected Video card HDMI > Denon 1612 receiver > 5 passive speakers + powered subwoofer The speakers work and play audio perfectly fine, but nothing from the subwoofer. However, when I'm in speaker config shown here: I can hear the test tone coming from the...

This is what I've got so far in my annoying quest for a budget HTPC 2x TSi300 fronts 2x TSi100 sides 1x CS10 center Subwoofer undecided BenQ W1070 projector I've got absolutely zero experience with receivers or audio in general, so I'm looking for suggestions here. All I require from the...

People should look at youtube reviews or something instead of buying it blind. After seeing it I can immediately tell I'd hate it. It improves a couple aspects, unfortunately that is outweighed by the 20 steps backwards they took with other features.

Of course, and if he's ever interested in other media it will handle 1080p videos and anything else no problem. I'm tempted to get my dad one of these, I love how cheap a decent PC is these days.

My Xonar DX didn't come with one, but if another option exists it would have to be very thin. I think there was only a few millimeters between the 2 cards when they were next to eachother, but I moved the 6950 to the x8 slot for now and the static is gone.

I'm using a single HD 6950, and I want to switch it to the x8 slot. My question is, is it possible to still run it at x16 in that slot? Will I even notice any difference? My motherboard is an ASUS P7P55D Pro, if that matters. The reason I want to move it is because the sound card is incredibly...

This thing is on the market now isn't it? I haven't seen any buzz about it though on any forums... or am I just not looking hard enough? I just want to read more opinions about it before I buy it.

All the files in my library are ts, mp4, avi, and mkv. The ts files are all 1080p and are around 4-5gb per file if that matters. I was looking at the reviews on the players listed in this thread, and it had people claiming it streams 1080p perfectly fine, and yet other people saying they can't...

I was thinking about buying a Blu-Ray player with DLNA support just for the DLNA alone. I wouldn't use the actual player or its other features at all, so that seems like kind of a waste. So my question is, is there a stand alone DLNA device out there that I can hook up to an HDTV? If such a...
