24-bit Crystalizer through sp

I have X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card and want to connect to an external DolbyDigital, Dolby ProLogicII and DTS decoder and want to know would I hear the 24-bit Crystalizer effect through spdif? I do want that my mp3 sounds better but is the analog connection only way? I know that only uncompressed stereo can be sent with spdif and then use ProLogicII to get "5." sound but will it be with that effect (for mp3 and divx movies)? Thanks in advance.

No, the files within Audition will be unaffected by the available bit depth of your soundcard. The only time it would matter is, for instance, if you are making CDs from your audio files or feeding digital out to an external 16 bit recorder in which case you will need to down convert your 24 bit files to 16 using dither for best results when you have finished all the editing/processing. But keep the 32 bit files in case you need to go back and do any adjustments.

Disable 24-bit crystalizer... and where did the snap/crackle/pop

For the longest time, I thought the crackling and popping was because of the CMSS3D Headphone option being enabled, but just for kicks, I tried disabling the 24-bit crystalizer, and poof! Where did the snap/crackle/pop go? It seems to be gone! I can li've without the crystalizer, after all there is really no way to make something sound better than the source. This gives me hope that it is a driver issue after all. I have a Rev A fatalty.

It is still there... you cant just hear it as good anymore.. i never have crystalizer on, i still got my rice crispies. So good if you dont hear it anymore.. but i know this wont fix it for many of us. I can agree that if i have cmss3d enabled but have MacroFX and Elevation Filter off, the pops& crackles are lower in volume.

Is Creative going to make a mp3 player with the 24-bit Crystaliz

I have dropped my Zen Touch 20 GB a few times (I know, I'm clumsy), and the most recent drop really damaged it. It still plays, but I can only scroll down with the touch pad (scrolling up goes down as well), and rarely the song skips forward randomly (progress bar does not skip forward though, this has happened ever since I got much Touch, but it happens slightly more frequently now).
I've tried pushing in on the touch pad as some have suggested, and resetting the Zen Touch did not help.
I was considering investing in a Zen Sleek Photo, but I think I will stick my Touch since I mostly use Shuffle play anyways.
However, has Creative announced any plans to create a mp3 that uses the 24-bit Crystalizer from the X-Fi soundcard series? I have a X-Fi Fatlty edition, and the sound is absolutely amazing, it blows standard CD and mp3 players away. If Creative made a mp3 player with the Crystalizer, I would buy it no questions asked, death to the iPod!
... That's IF Creative makes one, so does anyone happen to know? It may not even be technically possible, but heck if I know

Yes, it is technically possible and Creative will incorporate the X-Fi technology in its future MP3 players.
This was confirmed by Creative CEO, Mr Sim Wong Hoo when Creative announced its quarterly earnings about a month ago.
At that time, Mr Sim also said that the earliest we can see the X-Fi technology on Creative's MP3 players might be early next year.
But as Creative will be releasing a yet-to-be-announced product in Paris tommorrow (8 dec), i'm not sure if we will get to see it earlier than expected!
Just keeping my fingers crossed, but what ever new product Creative release tmr, it will definately make my xmas more merry!

Does AppleTV(v2) output 24-bit audio through TOSLINK port?

I have some high-definition audio files (24-bit/44.1KHz and 24/96) in Apple Lossless format. I also have what I thought was a simple question: Does the AppleTV support bit-perfect playback of such files? In other words, will the AppleTV stream them without downsampling them? Posts on other forums suggest that the AppleTV downsamples everything to 16/48 (which would be absurd on Apple's part, as every other link in the audio chain, including iTunes, Mac, DAC, etc fully supports 24/96). Can anyone confirm either way? The technical specs are conspicuously silent on this issue...

Aaaargh, I was thinking of getting one of these as a more convenient way of getting 24/96 sound out of my macbook than a long TOSLINK cable to my amplifier.
Looks like another wasted opportunity.
Yep
What I don't understand is that according to other reports, digital audio from a DVD is passed through no problems. Why would a 5.1 digital signal be untouched, but a similar signal from iTunes be screwed up?
Personally I think they don't see beyond the iTunes store purchase/rental model.
As you know you can't even buy true CD quality audio from iTunes let alone anything better.
When we're able to download/buy 4GB HD movies, I see no practical reason why we couldn't have CD quality or better encoded as Apple Lossless audio.
There must be some sort of workaround?
No. I ended up buying a Mac Mini.
The majority of other media boxes I looked at previously also were limited and even though some supported FLAC they couldn't output 24/48 ot 24/96.
I'm sure some of them must do it now, but it's a shame AppleTV can't - I doubt it's a hardware related issue, simply one of support.
And why, in 2011, is 24/96 still considered 'audiophile'? After 30 years of 16/44.1 you'd think we would have moved on somewhat to a new standard.
Truth being most people don't care. MP3/portable players have killed many people's appreciation of what good quality audio sounds like. I use these devices all the time on the go, but for home listening I do not want lossy compressed audio to play on the hi-fi, and in this day and age we should be able to ditch the silver discs easily.

24 bit Audio through 16 bit Audio Output

Possibly dumb question but...
I have 24 bit audio files recorded on other equipment. If I edit them in Audition at 24/32 bit but my audio hardware and/or output driver is only 16 bit will that affect the audio processing quality of what I'm doing within Audition?
The output is simply to connect speakers or headphones but everything else such as outputting the processed file to hard drive will be done internally from Audition (i.e. Save As - no mixdowns through external analog outputs or anything).
Will the audio stay 24 bit quality when using 16 bit audio hardware output for monitoring?
Thanks.

No, the files within Audition will be unaffected by the available bit depth of your soundcard. The only time it would matter is, for instance, if you are making CDs from your audio files or feeding digital out to an external 16 bit recorder in which case you will need to down convert your 24 bit files to 16 using dither for best results when you have finished all the editing/processing. But keep the 32 bit files in case you need to go back and do any adjustments.

Send 102 bit data through the LPT port??I have to send 102 bit to my interface board using the LPT port, through one of the data line and be able to read data from the input line, I don't know how to realize such a task.Thanks

Let me describe you the program I have to write:
I have to send 102 bit serialy using one of the data line of the LPT port to a device and be able to read back data sent from a device register throug one one of the input port pin for instance pin 10 of a DB25, and synchronize the transmission by the PC clock(for write and read). If fact I am using 5 output control(D0...D4) signal from the LPT port, RST, TXD, CLK, CE,TEST, one input data RXD (pin10)
So the program should work in normal mode (write data, read data), and test mode (use the write p
rocedure). Since I am quite new in Labview I am little lost and I need some support or exemple that use a way to send more than 32 bit via one data line(in my case 102bit= 8 bit COMMAD(MSB)+88 bit SPI DATA+6 bits CRC(LSB)) and be able to read them back, place them in the register and be able either to monitor or modify them.
I know that there are plenty of exemple but if I can gain time by being helped it would be great.
Can you please advise?

Hi Beni,
find attached a SPI.vi - minor changed from one of
my typical SPI's (LabVIEW 7.1). With some simple changes it will fit to your application.
The only thing you need to do - prepare
the bits for the input-array.
If you need some more comments - find one of my email
adresses in documentation of this vi.

Easy setup for capturing 12 bit Hi8 through a mini DV camera?

Hi,
I have some old Hi8 tapes that are recorded in 12 bit audio. Unfortunately the easy setup for a converter doesn't seem to let you specify 12 bit audio, so I'm getting awful sync problems. I know I could record all the footage onto mini DV tapes, but is there an alternative? Is there any way of adding an easy setup that would do what I want?

If you just use the MiniDV camera in passthrough mode, it will work fine. The audio out of the Hi8 should be analog, which specifies no specific bit depth. So as long as you have your MiniDV set up to 16bit, that's what it will send to the computer.

Generating a 10-bit signal through USB-6363

Greetings,
I am needing to characterize a 10-bit DAC at work using Labview and the NI USB-6363. I have very little experience using Labview and need some direction in completing this task. We are only interested in the INL and DNL. What I have in mind is outputing the 10 binary signal to the DAC. The DAC's output is going to a digital multimeter that will be linked back to Labview via IEEE-488 to USB connection.
I have all this setup, I'm just getting lost with how to go about doing this in Labview. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi joeyjojo,
The USB-6363 uses the daqmx library as Jason mentioned. A good overview of the daqmx driver can also be found here. It sounds like you're going to be doing digital generation. Definitely check out the examples that Jason sent you to.... especially the one called write digital channel.
Use the DAQmx write VI to configure the device to read a digital 2D U32 NChannel NSample. This will take in a 2-D array where each row corresponds to a new channel and each column is a new sample. You can also look in the daqmx help to get a better explanation of the Daqmx Write. To get to te daqmx help, just go to Help » LabVIEW Help. In the Heirachey, open up VI and Function Reference » Measurement I/O Vis and Functions »DAQmx - Data Acquisiton VIs and Functions » Additional information, and there will be a section in there on DAQmx Write.
The best idea would probably be to start coding and let us know if you're getting a certain error. Additionally, if you've never used LabVIEW, it might be looking into for our DAQ and LabVIEW training. Keep us posted how we can help!

24-bit crystalizer keeps reverting to zero perc

Hi! I have enabled and set the crystalizer to 75%, which should mean that it will 75% every time I reboot. But, when I adjust it using the remote, I notice that it is at 0%. Anyone know what's going on here. Is it really defaulting to 0%?
Try it yourself and let me know what happens.

I had a problem like this where my X didnt wanna take my new monitor displays.. what I did was I backed up my conf and ran nvidia-xconfig to make a new .conf, then using sudo nvidia-settings i told it to go to the size i wanted and it just appended the file for me

Remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC with the new IPad

With the latest version of ITunes for both Win7 and the new IPad, I'm only able to use the new IPad to remotely control the ITunes on Windows 7 64 bit PC through wired connection ( ethernet cable ) to the wireless router. As soon as I connect my PC through wireless connection, the new IPad can not find my libraries.
Is this a known issue or am I missing some settings?
Thanks,

Are you using the 64 bit installer?

Connect to Oracle Database from Windows 64 bit to Offic2007 32bit

Good day to all,
I know that there are many threads with similar subject, but I could't found how can I put the connection string to my code
I have installed insance clinet 32bit for oracle, all about TNS, configurations, I have created UDL file running for 32 bit application through command
C:\Windows\syswow64\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll",OpenDSLFile C:\test.udl
and test connection is ok.
But I put in my code (VBA Access 2007 32 bit) the connection string:"Provider=MSDASQL.1;Password=psw;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=user;Data Source=DSNName-32bit"
and I receive the error: "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-06413: Connection not open."
I think that I am close to solution but I need a help

Hello,
I am getting the same error. tried almost everything. Did you find the solution to your problem?

How can I set specific bits in a 16-bit integer?

Hello everyone,
as the title says I need to modify or rather to set a specific bit in a string which then is sent to a motor. I need to be sure that my command is correct as I am experiencing troubles with that motor and need to identify if its source.
First of all my strings have to be in the Little Endian order. Then the structure of the string should be the following:
Change Velocity command ‘V’xxCR 056h + one unsigned short (16-bit) integer + 0Dh (Note: Uppercase ‘V’)
Note: The lower 15 bits (Bit 14 through 0) contain the velocity value. The high-order bit (Bit 15) is used to indicate the microstep-to-step resolution: 0 = 10, 1 = 50 uSteps/step.
Until now, I used Flatten To String to convert 32 bit integers into bytes of the correct order. I thought I could use the Join Numbers function, but that only works for at least 8 bit numbers and there is no "1 bit number". I searched for an option to build a a string and set the bits via a Boolean Cluster, but I did not really understand how to transfer this to my problem.
How can I build up the correct 16-bit integer (e.g. set the velocity to "10000" with a resolution of 50 µSteps/step)
I would like to add the "V" and the CR via Concatenate Strings to the 16-bit integer, but other possibilites are also welcome.
I have seens the examples for bit manipulation in C-code, but I wish to do this with LabView as I am not familiar with C,matlab and so on.
Thank you very much for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You really need to learn Boolean logic and how to shift bits around.
AND is really good for masking out bits (forcing them to 0) and OR is really good for adding bit values. Then Logical Shift is used to get the bits in the right places before doing the AND and OR.
NOTE: Rate is an enum with 10 being a value of 0 and 50 being 1.

What will be the possible cause of the issue? Is it something which can be corrected from my java application?
The application is built in 32-bit environment, but I think thats not an issue because java is platform-independent.

S206 Windows 8 64-bit drivers: Not a smooth install

I've just taken the plunge for Windows 8 via the upgrade offer, but seeing as I already got a copy for my desktop PC with the 64-bit disc included, and that the S206 I bought came preinstalled with 4Gb of RAM (almost half of which is unusable in a 32-bit environment), I decided to boot from the 64-bit disc through an external USB DVD rewriter and install fresh. I had previously made sure that the Lenovo support site had Windows 8 64-bit drivers available.
Well, was I in for a shock.
First of all, practically every installer tried to extract to the C:\Drivers folder, dumping all the files in a single subfolder with no hierarchy. Then it tried to access the individual files from sub-subfolders which didn't exist. The only way I could get them to install was to create the folders it was missing as the error messages cropped up, dump a copy of the driver files into those folders, click retry, and repeat until it said it was done.
Secondly, the Catalyst drivers didn't find any graphics card. I downloaded the latest version from the AMD website, and that picked it up fine.
Thirdly, when I installed the audio driver, it said that the device I had was not the one that the drivers were intended for, and it would install generic drivers instead.
Fourthly, the Lenovo energy management program defaulted to the balanced profile which was the only one to totally disable the backlight to the LCD screen. Boy did that one take some time to sort out.
Fifthly, installing the wireless and Bluetooth driver seems to have not added in Bluetooth. I'm fairly sure it had Bluetooth to start with. The network adapter is still using the Microsoft driver.
Sixthly, the webcam does not appear in my devices list. Skype can't see it at all. Neither driver supplied on the website can actually find a device. I have just had the laptop back from repair due to a faulty keyboard, and I've not actually had a need to test it before now so I wonder if it maybe was left disconnected or maybe the camera in the screen frame is a dummy - I may have to restore the old Windows 7 operating system to check that...
Finally, when I tried to install the Synaptics touchpad drivers, clearly marked as 32 and 64 bit in a single installer, the installer told me it's not designed for a 64-bit system and told me to get the correct version from my vendor! The Synaptics website doesn't have Windows 8 drivers up yet.
So basically the default drivers leave the PC in a working condition but I currently have no Bluetooth, no webcam, I'm stuck on either high or low performance energy management, basic audio with no options, basic touchpad with no configuration.
So, for Lenovo: Your drivers leave a lot to be desired and need reviewing.
For other users: If you want to adopt 64-bit Windows 8, prepare to spend a lot of time fiddling with drivers.
For anyone with more knowledge than me: Can anyone suggest how I might get the above hardware fully functional?

After seeing that Lenovo have updated some of their installers, I decided to give it another go and see if I could get 64-bit Windows 8 on it.
First hitch, it was a bit of a struggle getting the computer to recognise the USB DVD drive. In the end I had to plug it into the USB2 port (The not-blue one), go into BIOS, save and exit and immediately go back into BIOS before it would be recognised as hardware.
It seems Lenovo overhauled all their installers, because they all extracted with the correct folder hierarchy. The only problem was with the "WLAN Driver and Bluetooth Driver (Ralink, Atheros)" (0swg11ww.exe) which totally failed to find the correct target installation executables after extraction. Also I'm sure this laptop had bluetooth connectivity but it didn't find any bluetooth hardware, but I'm not bothered too much about that as I use Logitech devices with unifying recievers anyway. When I finished installing them manually I checked on a tip-off I read elsewhere on these forums that the installer keeps the computer using the Microsoft driver, rather than switching to the Broadcom driver. I told it to change drivers (Some fiddling about in Device Manager) and it works fine.
Lenovo Energy Management still installs with the "Balanced" profile having zero backlight brightness, totally out-of-line with the other two profiles. I note that while the RSS feed says Lenovo Energy Management was updated on 29/11/2012, the download page says the latest version available is the initial 24/10/2012 release. Also the WLAN/Bluetooth driver was supposedly updated on 09/01/2013 but the download page says the latest revision was released on 09/12/2012, and when I installed the AMD Catalyst graphics drivers (supposedly v8.0.881.0) it actually installed the latest version (v12.10).
Clearly in the case of the Catalyst drivers the page hasn't been updated to reflect the updated driver release, but the on the other hand Lenovo Energy Management software doesn't appear to have been updated at all. At least I have a copy of all the install files now though, so I can tell if anything does change by inspecting file sizes.
The computer is now in as useable a state as I would like it however, and this time it was for the most part a fairly smooth install.

Boot Camp / Windows 8.1 64-bit / Driver compatibility issues

Hi everyone,
I have been struggling to install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit version through Boot Camp on my MacBook Air 13 inch mid-2012 for a few days and I have finally decided to give up and write this thread to see if anyone has encountered the same problems as I have and if they've found a solution.
What I've tried so far:
1. First attempt
     a. Download the ISO from Microsoft (We are a Microsoft Partner and have access to internal use licences of Windows 8.1).
     b. Use the Boot Camp utility to create a bootable USB drive, download the latest Boot Camp drivers and partition my SSD drive.
          Issue: Upon rebooting, I got the "No bootable device found" error message. I still tried to boot on the USB drive, which I was able to, but           when installing Windows, I was unable to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as it contained a "MBR partition table"           instead of a GPT.
2. Second attempt
     a. I searched the Internet about the error message about the MBR partition table.
     b. The solution I found was to format the partition created by the Boot Camp utility as "Free space".
     c. I was then able to start Windows installation by formatting the partition I wanted to allot it to through the Windows installation process.
          Issue: The installation went smoothly until my computer rebooted the first time and the "Peripherals preparation" step (sorry about the           approximate translation, I'm used to the French version of it) got stuck at 10% and was brutally followed by a black screen. Forcing the           computer to restart would show the Windows logo and go straight back to the black screen situation...
3. Third attempt
     a. I decided to create a bootable Windows installation USB drive using UNetBootin utility and creating a "Free space" partition through Disk      Utility on which to install Windows.
     b. I then booted on the USB Drive and was able to install Windows properly.
     c. I donwloaded the set of Boot Camp drivers through Apple's wesbsite corresponding to my MacBook Air model.
          Issue: Somehow, the graphics driver installed by Boot Camp made my system crash as I got a black screen when it tried to install. Even           without doing anything and having Windows try to install the right driver by itself, I got a black screen and an unusable installation of           Windows 8.1.
What am I missing here? Why isn't the Boot Camp utility working when it should be so easy? Is there a compatibility issue of my graphics driver (Intel HD Graphics 4000) with Windows running under Boot Camp?
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm in desperate need of a solution as I don't want to go back to using virtualisation softwares such as Parallels Desktop, VMWare, etc. though they work just fine...
Best regards,
Alex

1. Your MBA does not support EFI/Free Space method.
2. You need to ensure that your USB is a USB2 device.
3. The MBR should be checked, because there are known cases where BCA fails to create the MBR.
