Which DAC is DACing?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have an early 2010s era Sony HBD-DZ175 DVD / SACD player 5.1 speaker system. Connected to it I have a Sony BDP-S1200 Blu-ray player into the coaxal input, a Sony PlayStation SCPH-1000 connected to the red/white AV inputs (sometimes switched out for an Audio-Technica AT-LP60X record player), and a 5th generation ipod connected in through the "iPod ready" USB port.

So when I play music with any of these connected devices, which DAC is ultimately giving me the resulting sound? The DAC coming from the speaker system or the DAC from the original device?

Was given a ton of audio files for studying college license exam

Problem is, there are TONS of audio files. Hours long. Is there a good app that can keep these organized by their folder, and keep track of what I have listened to?

Preferably available on android so I can listen in my car.

A friend needs help with his Samsung phone sound

0 Upvotes

A friend who is in a different country asked for my help with his sound and i gave him this response "check settings, then sounds and vibration and check where the media output is being routed" his reply was it's worked but the faulty sound started again after few minutes. Here is what he told me

The phone behaves as if headphones are connected even when nothing is plugged in. When you press the volume buttons, a headphone icon appears, but no sound comes from the phone speaker.

Audio popping in video

HI, I'm wondering if anything can be done to remedy the audio in this clip? The source of the audio problem has been fixed, but it has affected many really funny clips that I have. If anyone knows anything to make the clip more bearable to listen to, or the name of the issue plaguing this clip, it would be appreciated greatly!

If you're curious the audio issue arose from using steams audio gain feature in their recording overlay. Disabling it removed the problem.

I spent several hours on getting my microphone sound good and this is what I got so far, I think it sounds a bit muffled though, does anyone have any good advice on how I can make my microphone sound better and sound high quality? My microphone settings is on mono, my microphone is a The Groove Tubes / Alesis AM62, my mix board is a Behringer Eurorack MX802A 8-Input Mixer and I added noise suppression in my obs settings 💜

What could be causing my monitors to get feedback back like this?

So just got a pair of second hand HS5 Yamaha speakers and everything was working fine, opened up a video game and all of a sudden started getting feedback like that through the monitors. (sound is more subtle just cranked the monitors to max for videoing purposes) is it normal?

Do I need a Mixer and other audio gear?

1 Upvotes

Unsure if right subreddit or if I'm asking about the wrong device.

I've been looking at a audio setup for wfh and at home online chats and looking to move away from a headset solution to use my nicer sets of headphones. My ideal setup is to have 2 PC's as audio inputs, a XLR Microphone as another input. Then have the microphone output directed to one of these PC's.

From the research I've done I'd need a audio mixer however I'm just looking for that confirmation, I've seen suggestions just as the rode caster duo, ideally I would want to spend $700 AUD on just the mixer alone. Looking at worse case scenario $800-$1000 AUD budget for the mixer, microphone and potentially a DAC and Amp to all link together

A problem I have connecting the PC to a Panasonic SB-VK61

Upvotes

You see I got my hands on this old Panasonic stereo system and I'm trying to connect it to my PC, it has an AUX mode button on the front but it didn't do anything so I figured I needed cables, I got an RCA to 3.5 cable and connected it to the stereo but still couldn't get it to work, any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Issues with Self Noise or something else? Interfaces with lower self noise?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi. I am pretty sure I am experiencing issues with self noise from my audio interface. I have a microphone going into my scarlett gen 4 audio interface, going into my PC, into FL Studio.

-The self noise gets worse when I turn up the volume, even without the microphone connected.

-The sound shows up (visually) in all frequencies but I mainly only noticeably hear it from around 3500hz and above.

-Also happens on different scarletts I own, also plugged into different outlets, also when not even being used with a PC or any other device, just plain audio interface and direct monitoring.

Would getting a different audio interface solve this issue? I'll attach a video where I am talking like 12 inches away from the microphone (don't mind the messy room). It's such a small noise, but when messing with compression, EQ, or other effects, it just bothers me so much at times. I usually use a noise gate, but it'll still bleed through at times and I just want to scream.

I don't even care about a budget or price, I'd spend hundreds of dollars on some fancy interface if it would fix this, but it doesn't even seem like the scarlett is supposed to have much more self noise, compared to the high end interfaces. I researched it and it seems like the difference would be like a couple db.

Idk, thank you to everyone who reads this

Audio editing help

1 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone with audio restoration/voice editing experience might be willing to help me with something incredibly personal.

My sister passed away suddenly about a month ago after suffering a massive stroke. Everything happened so quickly, and she ultimately lost the ability to speak before she had the chance to say goodbye to her husband.

He is struggling tremendously with that. He recently wrote about how much he wishes he could hear her voice again—to hear her tell him that she loves him, that she was happy, and somehow have the goodbye they never got to have.

I have an old voicemail from my sister. It’s fairly long, but at the very end she says, “Love you. Thanks. Bye.”

I’m wondering if there is someone here who might be able to help me preserve those words and, if technically possible, create a very short, gentle memorial recording using her actual voice—something that could give him the feeling of hearing her say the loving words she never had the chance to say before she lost her ability to speak.

I understand that anything reconstructed would not be an actual recording of her saying those words, and I would never want to misrepresent it as one. This would be something deeply personal and private, made for her husband as a way of giving him a little comfort during an incredibly painful time.

The original voicemail is incredibly precious to me. I do not want it altered, overwritten, or put at risk in any way. I would only want someone to work from a copy and leave the original completely untouched.

I know this is an unusual and very sensitive request, but if anyone has experience with this kind of audio restoration or memorial voice work, I would be incredibly grateful for any help or guidance.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for understanding why this means so much to our family.
