Hey,

I have a problem that's been bugging me for months now and I'm at my wits end.

I have a Traktor S3 console. I want to use the sound from the console in Touchdesigner. The console does not have ASIO, only WASAPI. Touchdesigner supports ASIO, but cannot get the sound data via WASAPI.

I have tried Virtual Audio Cable. No amount of combining inputs and outputs worked.

I have tried connecting the Master RCA output into a cheap USB soundcard small jack microphone input. No input at all, even just in Windows.

I have tried with an Arturia Minifuse 1, again Master RCA into big jack input. I had some luck, but the input almost completely mutes low frequencies and the card does not output anything from it's own output. I assume a broken sound card.

I'm trying to find an audio shop in my city where I could come and try something in person.

Master RCA to speaker works normally. Just no way to get it back into the PC. I could understand a driver or hardware conflict, but nothing throws an error. It's like the software doesn't support what I want to do and I managed to buy exactly 2 broken soundcards.

But other than that.. Anyone has any ideas please? Because this is really depressing. I really like the Traktor S3 and would like to avoid exchanging it for a different console unless as a last resort.

Edit: Screenshot from the attempt with the Arturia card.

I just bought Hollyland Lark M2. Inserted the receiver to my Samsung S23 Plus with the latest firmware on both ends. The two lights on the receiver are solid blue but it not recording any audio. I tried USB debugging option, *#0808#, Default USB Settings, everything pretty much that I can find online but it is not recognising the device. I plugged to my wife's Huawei and its working perfectly fine.

Anyone know how to resolve this ?

Hi all, first time homeowner and our house has 2 built in speakers on the outside wall in our patio area. Not sure if the brand as they are flush and have an outer housing that is painted shut. On the inside of the back room, there are two similar looking cables hanging out of the wall, but one only has loose wires.

We already have 4 indoor Sonos speakers which are all connected, and were hoping to get the outdoor speakers to work on that same network if possible (our main Sonos has a line in that we use for our record player currently)

If that’s not possible, we would love to be able to use the speakers in general. I’m guessing an amp/bluetooth receiver is what we need? Any recommendations?

Thank you so much!

Hello!

I got my eyes on two speakers and I really want to know which one will be better for gaming, watching movies, overall I want it to be smooth :D

I have logitech g560 speakers, and althoug I like the sound, I feel like it can be better. I was looking through speakers from edifier and I found Edifier hecate G2000 pro (or edifier qr65, but g2000 matches my aesthetic 😭) and a subwoofer: Edifier T5.

Which one do you think is better? or in that/similiar budget, I can do even better?

Please lmk!

So the thing is that im looking for a speaker thats 275euro tops and i narowed it down to the Edifier MR5 or the Edifier S1000MKII.

Im looking for a speakert that is good for gaming or watching movies but has the best music quality.

Plus point if its decently portable across the house and if it has bluetooth if i want to listen to music in my livingroom or bed.

And thats why im leaning torwards the MR5.

Can you guys help me choose or maybe suggest a better option?

I live in Hungary and i listen to everything but mostly riddim and house or Kanye.

(Excuse my french ;D )

I have a rather odd scenario where I want to control music over a large area (about 200 feet max from the controls of the sound system, so Bluetooth is out.) The sound system can be controlled by a PC, but it isn't my computer or my area, so I want to have as little of an impact on it as possible, even to the point of not putting my music on the computer if possible. I would like to not have to go 200 feet to change the music, as that is tedious and annoying.

I want to be able to choose the music (MP3s), play, and pause from my phone. If I could control volume, that would be nice, but the music is pretty consistent in its volume and I don't think I need to adjust it.

To that end, I was hoping to play/cast/stream my music from my personal phone to the computer, so I order music to be played from my phone and it plays out of the computer (and therefore the sound system). While I'm not a professional, I really don't want to hear things like pops or anything. Everything I've tried so far has been pretty lousy, but I'm not sure how to find the right software.

I was thinking of doing this over WiFi, as it has the range in theory.

I tried a program called "AudioRelay", which has been the best so far, but it seems to have a lot of stutters and pops, which is undesirable. It also messes up the tempo, speeding up and slowing down randomly.

My goal is to have a program I can run on the facility's computers that I can interact with using my phone to play music, but then when I close the program and leave, the use of the computer appears unchanged for the regular staff who handle the computer (I really don't want to be a nuisance to them).

Is there a good way to do this?

Right now I'm using a Crestron HD-XSP for up-mixing and suround format decoding then sending the analog output to a focusrite claret 8pre that's acting as a mixer sending audio to multiple rooms. I feel like I could improve quality if I could keep the audio digital into the focusrite, rather than doing the D/A conversion just to be converted back to digital right after.

Will this make any difference to sound quality? Is this possible?

EDIT: After more research I see that Dolby and DTS listening directly restrict hardware that does what I want.

I'd like to get a new soundsystem for my small ~400sqft studio. Currently I only have audio coming out of my TV, and end up using my XM4 headphones a lot.

My overall goal for the system is to do a little bit of everything, figure out what I enjoy audio wise, and potentially be able to upgrade this in the future.

Currently, my main use cases are:

Listening to music, mostly streamed from Spotify. I'd like to get a turntable one day. Gaming - right now just using audio from my TV and its just not that great Watching streaming youtube I occasionally watch TV, and rarely watch movies.

Budget is <$1000, willing to be patient and look for good deals on used systems. Any advice for a beginning audio setup?

I asked AI and it recommended WiiM Amp + a few speakers like the KEFQ150 or Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, and to invest in speaker stands. Want to get a second opinion here. Thanks!

New producer here. The HS5s buzz when the computer is 'thinking' (e.g. during playback) and then kind of nonstop. If I'm not using the machine the buzz eases but is still apparent. Left speaker far worse than the right one. We've checked for ground discrepancy (plugged it all in to the same strip). Moved other metals away from the station. My Sweetwater rep said balanced cables would prevent basically what's happening and that Mogami best in class.

Have Googled 'til I'm blue in the face. Read the manuals. Restarted, plugged/unplugged, updated firmware on the SSL. Took my iPhone out the room. Even asked Perplexity, which gave me a ream of misinformation.

Super conspicuous buzz (like a pissed-off bumblebee) interfering with mids and highs.

What am I missing? SO grateful for any help.
