What is better to use: digital out or 5 channel speaker level out

Hi
Is it better to use digital out on sound card or 5 channel speaker level output?If you could explain it to me...(i'm new so that's why i am asking this)
Thank you

First you need to determine what options you have, if you have an amp/decoder
use digital out because that then frees up the line-outs which you can use for other devices. Quality wise not much difference.

  • What is better to use and why?

    Hi,
    What is better to use and why?
    We have written follwing statements to check the existence of interested record in table.
    1).
    select count(*) from emp where deptno = 20;
    2).
    select 'X'
    from dual
    where exists (
    select 'X' from emp
    where deptno = 20);
    Thanks and Regards,

    Assuming a large table, number two would be the fastest. If empno in unique, you can leave out the where exists part and just select x from emp where empno = 20. If empno is not unique, then using where exists can be faster. Assuming that empno is not unique, query 1 may elect to scan the whole table looking for that empno. Number 2 can use the index and return your result in, typically, three LIOs.
    Again, it all depends on your indexing, size of tables, and uniqueness of key upon which you are searching.

  • What is better to use a calculation field or to use stored procedure

    Dear All
    i want to know what is better to use a calculation field on oracle forms , or to do the calculation using a stored procedure at the data base level and fetch the results to the fields on the form
    Best Regards

    Hello Mohannad
    the stored procedure approach might be more readable and maintainable when the calculation gets complicated.
    And it might be easier to reuse when it's needed in another part of your application.

  • What is better to use for CTM: PDS or PPM?

    what is better to use for CTM: PDS or PPM?
    what is easier to manage and use in CTM : PDS or PPM? and why?thanks
    elena

    Hi ,
    In CTM I will recommend  PDS over PPM.
    You can directly CIF PDS as SNP PDS from ECC, you do not have to convert from PPDS to SNP unilke PPM.
    PDS supports VC, Phantom assemblies.
    PDS can be maintained in ECC and change transfer is easy.
    Validity period of components can be specified in the PDS , Which is not possible in PPM.
    SAP is developing PDS for future use compared to PPM.

  • No System Sound when using Digital Out. What the?!

    Hmmm. I've searched and read many of the posts regarding sound problems on the mac mini but none experiencing what i think(?) is my problem. That being that when I use a toslink to connect my mac mini to my an external 5.1 amp the following is disabled:
    - Volume control in menu bar disabled (greyed out)
    - Apple Remote no longer controls volume
    - DVD Player volume does nothing
    - System Sound Preferences show 'Digital Out' but no options
    Can someone confirm that these should still be adjustable? I can't believe that the now I have to use my stereo remote to control my Mac ?! Kind of ruins the 'Mac as a home theatre' experience. Unless I can find a solurion I guess it's back to analogue for me :o(
    Please help!

    I can't believe it! I'm not an audiophile I just wanted to have the clearest quality sound, so for Apple to allow fibre optic connection but disable the ability to change volume just flat out *****. There should at least be the option to treat the connection as stereo. Why should I have to switch back and forward to an analogue cable if i want to use the front row remote? Not very well thought out Apple!
    Thanks for the Remote Buddy suggestion will look in to it.
    Anyone else got any ideas for a work around??

  • Aggregate device using digital out and line out

    I am trying to create an aggregate device using the digital out and the line out built into the mac pro. However, I only get sound from the device marked as the clock. Is it possible to aggregate these two outputs? or are they not compatible?

    Hi CristianEC,
    i think the error number was -200022, because the PFI lines for the two PWM counter look all your digital ports.
    You can see this if you look on into the pinout for your device. You need an device with some additional digital ports.

  • No Sound when using Digital out with Mac Mini

    The Digital out on my mac mini has become seriously unreliable. The sound slider is all the way up but locked, no movement is possible. The Toslink cable shows light, and when plugged into another device the amplifier receives sound.
    This is an intermittent problem, for awhile rebooting would make the sound come back, however this has stopped working.
    unplug the toslink and the built in speaker plays fine. Sound slider becomes movable.
    If you sent the sound slider to 50% then plug the toslink back in it jumps to 100% and all controls ar grayed out and 0 sound.
    any troubleshooting tips would be most appreciated as this is my primary audio video device.

    Not likely. Think about this: The output is simply a digital stream of bits. Volume does not apply to digital bits... The first place where you can adjust volume will be in an outboard DAC, a preamp or an integrated receiver.
    For a great DAC, check out ps audio "digital link III", retails currently for around $695, B stock may be avail for around 550. There is a cheaper quality DAC available from Cambridge Audio "Digital Magic", but it is not in the same league as the PS Audio or other higher cost DACs (such as Benchmark Media's DAC1).
    For a fantastic audio system that takes digital audio from a Mac Mini, I have a PS Audio DL III taking Toslink from the Mini and feeding RCA analog into a Zpre from Parasound with a couple of Zamp (zone amps) from Parasound going into very nice bookshelf speakers and in ceiling speakers.
    The volume is controlled by the Zpre amp ...As it must be

  • Using Digital Out of Audigy SE on Vist

    HI Guys!
    Following Problem: Got the Audigy SE and the correctly installed Vista Driver. I do get sound by normal speakers. But now I bought the I/O Module for opical link. In normal Windows use, I don't hear anything. It works on WinXP and I can make the Soundblaster to say something if I go to preferences and test DTS but thats it. Does anybody now how to set "Digital Output only"? Please help me!

    i am having the exact same issue. i am running windows vista 64 bit. - a month ago i was looking for a cheap, 7. sound card with digital output. i found the audigy SE.- when i recieved it, even though the card said it could do digital outputs, nowhere did it say i had to buy a separate module for it. so now i search for the module and buy it.(on another note why cant this be included, it was like $5. and why don't most of the big name online retailers carry it)- i plug in the module into the sound card, run a coaxial cable from digital output on soundcard to digital input on my reciever. no sound- check settings, disable analog speakers, disable onboard sound. still no sound.- i somehow found my way to a tab which allowed me to test various digital formats. i select a format, hit test, and it worked. i heard sound!? tried another one and it works!- i open a movie file... no sound. i look at the volume manager and there is an indicator saying that sound is being broadcast, but im not hearing anything.- i retest the digital formats. it works.- i open a movie file. no sound. from what i can tell, creative ships a utility that lets you change some setting from 44.8kpbs to 96kpbs or somethingl ike that (sorry i don't know anything about audio, and im having trouble finding the page again). Doing this allows digital sound to work with some devices. But the utility does not work with vista, so we are screwed!?I?can get 5. sound by using the 3 standard jacks and an analog. but they support only front, surround, center/sub. no rear surround support!? And its analog!?PLEASE HELP!

  • What is better to use for school, an ipad or a laptop?

    Hi, I'm in highschool and I am into technology. I use an hp laptop for school, but its kind of big and takes a minute to turn on. It seems like the iPad would be faster ad easier to carry around. I was wondering which is better for taking notes during class, iPad of laptop?
    Thanks

    Something with a real keyboard, so if you get an iPad to replace the laptop, also get a Bluetooth keyboard to use with it.

  • Need an advice what is better to use in project

    The future project will look like some game & will contain such logic:
    Some objects with concrete form, size , speed & position will interact with each other & change all premises properties as frequently as possible.
    Would you be so kind to recommend me the best technologies or ideas which I can use to realize such task in the easiest and productive way?
    The most important for me now is to listen for &catch the events of contiguity between the objects.
    Thank's a lot in advance for any responce !

  • What is better to use?

    Hi all,
    1) request.getSession(true) or request.getSession(false), I know the different and yet what is the best to use?
    2) In every jsp page of my application I use session = request.getSession(false/true). (Depends on the first answer), are this ok? Or I shell not use it and only use session. (I did (false) becuase I wanted to know if session is dead).
    Thanks all in advance,
    Sasi

    Hi all,
    1) request.getSession(true) or
    request.getSession(false), I know the different and
    yet what is the best to use?The best one to use is the one that does the one you want. Do you want to create a new session? Then use (true). Want to get null if there is no session? Then use (false).
    2) In every jsp page of my application I use session
    = request.getSession(false/true). (Depends on the
    first answer), are this ok? Or I shell not use it and
    only use session. (I did (false) becuase I wanted to
    know if session is dead).There is actually a few ways to check if the session died. One is to use getSession(true) so you always get a session, then test session.isNew(). This will have the same effect as calling getSession(false), and checking if session == null (and if it is, at some point creating a new session).
    If you always want a new session made, then you should probably use getSession(true) with the isNew() check. If there are cases you want to prevent session creation, or delay it for a while then you should use getSession(false).

  • Using Digital Out and Speakers at the same time.

    I was under the assumption that pluging headphones or the fiber-optic cable into the audio out jack switched the internal speakers off; i.e. it was done in hardware. I just realized this can't be true since you get the start-up tone out of the internal speakers even when something is plugged into the Audio Output jack. Apparently the switching is done in software and not hardware. If this is true, does anyone know how I can setup my iMac so that the internal speakers are active even when something is plugged into the jack. As it is now, you can't even configure the internal speakers as long as the jack is in use.

  • What is better to use- Financial Plan Vs. Budget

    Hi,
    We are on 12.1.3 and using Project Costing & Billing.
    Now the requirement is to capture expenditure estimates at lowest task level and later compare it with actuals.
    I'm having few doubts, pls help throwing some light on these:
    1. How do we decide which one to use between budgets or financial plans.
    2. Is it possible to load either budgets or FP through excel.
    3. How can we compare estimated expenditure with actuals at a lowest task level.
    Pls help me on these doubts.
    P.S. We are not using GL Budgets, PA resource lists etc. We are looking at this budgeting requirement at very basic level-  just entering estimates at task level and comparing with actuals.
    Thanks

    I would recommend financial plans, …. biggest advantage we found with them was the ability to enter your cost budget and revenue budget at the saem time, in the same screen, …..
    And yes, you can laod FP's from excel, don't think you can with budgets, you would have to use a tol like dataloader i would guess, ...
    Comparing actuals with the estimates ? just write a report, ....
