Best Slot for sound card

Hello.I have a simple question about my sound card.
I have Msi Z97 gaming 5 and Creative sound blaster z.My graphic card is N660 Gaming 2GD5/OC. I was wonder what is best PCI-X slot to add the card.
In the upper place or down?

personally I would use the upper x1 slot so the heat off the sound card isn't being pulled into the Graphics cards cooler increasing its temperature a little but that's just me.

Best slot for raid card

got a sata highpoint raid card coming
any advise on best pci slot for raid
im assuming 4 but what are you lot using

i have proven this time and time again to a many a people. i do not know why others have had this problem. i have had the sb live, usb, and the nic steering the same irq. not one single problem, audio hiccup (pops, cracks), nor problem with throughput. this was in win98 and me.
seriously, although i do agree in allocating in the order of priority. scsi, nics, soundcards, etc-thats my zen . if you get my point. although i have seen good credible people i know that handle hardware correctly and they have had a minor problem with a p.o.s. periph, but they noted usually fixed with a new driver. sound blasters work well, contrary what many have said, steering irq's with another periph-i have done it for years, literally. this is also with systems i have built for my friends and family.
agp1, pci1, pci2, pci3 unless there are integrated features for the motherboard always have their own interrupt lines. obviously though if you are going to use agp1 you are not going to want to use pci1 if you dont want to steer the interrupt. pci4, 5, 6 always have a duped interrupt line like agp1 and pci1.
it really doesnt matter. specially with an os that will allow the usage of the apic. if that was the case then there would be a lot of servers in this world that are more fu**ed up than you think.

HOW TO RECOVER DELETED DRIVER FOR SOUND CARD & PCMCI ADAPTER

Hi
How to recover a mistakenly deleted drivers for Sound card, PCMPCI and Other controller on IBM thinkpad ;Type: 1709-AB1? please help
Thanks

Here.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

I would like to connect my Ipad 2 wirelessly via 3G with a wireless rooter. The Ipad does not have a slot for a card, so it will have to connect to the rooter via bluetooth. Is this possible?

I would like to connect my Ipad 2 wirelessly via 3G with a wireless rooter. The Ipad does not have a slot for a card, so it will have to connect to the rooter via bluetooth. Is this possible? If so, where can I buy such a rooter? Many thanks! Ina

I'm not really understanding what you want. You mention all 3 types of connections: wireless, 3G and bluetooth, but I'm not clear on what you want to do. What the router is supposed to do, and why do you think it would need to connect via bluetooth?
I'm thinking you want to buy a Mifi type device that will allow you to connect to a cellular network and then connect the iPad to that device via the Wifi network the Mifi produces.
Is that so?

Searching for sound card, which decodes Dolby Digital from S/PDIF-IN

As I wrote in the topic headline, I'm currently searching for a sound card, which decodes Dolby Digital from the S/PDIF input.
I.e. a DolbyDigital signal comes from an external device (here Set-Top-Box/Media-Recei'ver) and the sound card should send the signal to my analogue speakers.
Currently I have a Creative X-Fi ExtremeMusic, this card does not support this.
And yes, I read the thread "Digital Connection...".
Thanks for any replies!

HRe: Searching for sound card, which decodes Dolby Digital from S/PDIF-INE I'm still doing some research on this topic, although I'm already searching for 2 years now with no real solution. Several people say, that I can do that, what I described in the first posting, by using an I/O console from Creative. But Creative (support) says, it is impossible at all, they don't have any products, which can do this.
Can anyone tell me, whether it's possible or not? Important fact: I use Windows XP, not Vista. And I don't want to use modded drivers. I want to use the latest official ones.
The new soundcard "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series" has an I/O dri've. If I have this, can I decode DolbyDigital from S/PDIF-IN, if I plug the optical cable into the soundcard? Because this console seems to have no optical input.

Best slot for new PCIe FW-expansion card

Hi there,
I just upgraded my PM Quad with a NVIDIA 7800 GTX 512 card which occupies PCIe slots 1 and 2.
Now I will have to install a FW 400/800 expansion card for operation of an external audio interface. I know that slot 3 would probably offer the best performance for the next card to be installed (8-lane)- but is likely to obstruct proper air circulation for the fan of my graphics card.
So slot 4 (4-lane) would be the only alternative. I cannot judge if this would be sufficient for proper audio performance.
So, any comments from the audience?
Regards,
Oliver

Great - glad to hear that.
Just inserted my card into slot 4 - real plug 'n play - smooth operation - no complaints so far!

Satellite U200-10H - Need schematic for sound card

Need schematic soundcard for Satellite U200-10H.
Microfone power no work, there was a short circuit or an electrostatics.

Hi
I think you will not find a schematic for the sound card or your notebook. I never saw such technical manuals on the Toshiba website and I think they are not for public and only for the authorized service providers.
If you have a hardware issue you should contact the nearest ASP:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an authorized service provider
I have only good experience with my ASP. The technicians are very friendly and do the work as fast as possible. :)

Base control for sound card

Hello, am I missing something. Is there a way to easily reduce the base in attached speakers? I cant seem to find any settings for the sound card. THank you!

There is a third-party shareware utility, Hear, that provides a system-wide equalizer. However, there isn't a built-in feature to OS X other than volume. iTunes does have its own separate equalizer.
You can find Hear at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Best USB gaming sound card

Hello,
I own a shuttle sn26p SLI small form factor case. There is no room for a pci sound card. I am a big gamer and would like the EAX sound modes. I have heard bad things about the Audigy2 NX using tons of CPU power to emulate EAX 3 modes. Is there a newer usb sound card in theworks or should i suck it up and loose tons o' performance?Message Edited by lm_mario on 0-22-2005 06:09 PM

If you are willing to accept Firewire soundcards as well, I would suggest Apogee's Duet. I have it and could not be happier.
Did a bunch of reading in the "hifi forums" and seems like Apogee is a quality manufacturer and the components are high quality.

Instructions for opening a Satellite Z930 with a slot for SIM card

Hello,
I have a Satellite Z930 which I would like to open in order to replace the original SSD with one having a higher capacity.
The thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=279122
was very helpful.
But my PC has a SIM card slot on the right side (side opposite to the microphone and the headphone)
Even after taking off all the 14 screws (including the torx one right in the center), the back cover can not be lifted up on the side of the SIM card slot. Something is holding it back.
Has anyone in the community already succeeded in removing the back cover for this confiuration ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Randy, Thanks anyway for your time.
After hesitating a bit, I finally decided to remove the SIM tray completely (since that was what was preventing the backcover from coming off).
When you pull at the tray (it is plastic and gray in color and opposite to the audio and video outlets), it does not come off completely when you pull it out normally to maximum (as when inserting a SIM card). You have to frankly tug and pull hard and the plastic tray comes out (just take care not to break it, whch shouldn't happen since the tray is supple and flexible).
Once the tray is out, the back cover comes off (like explained in several videos on the net, especially a good one mentioned by Randy).
Now, I could replace the original factory 128Gb SSD with a 480 Gb disk from mushkin (Atlas mSATA SSD).
This disk from mushkin is just about the right size to go into the Z930, a bit more bigger and it would not have fitted !
Hope this is useful to others.

Best dock for sound system

I'm looking for either a dock or a/v cable that will give me the best sound from a high-powered serious sound system, not a "micro" system. I've tried a Belkin audio cable connected to my headphone (audio out) jack but the sound is unacceptable. Is the Apple Universal dock or Apple AV connection kit the way to go or something else. I have a Denon receiver pumping out 7 x 110 watts per channel.

i think i have the same denon, it's a 3805. Don't have an answer to your question though.

Best program for greeting cards

which is the best adobe program for layout or creating custom greeting cards? Something like publisher, where I can take the graphics created in photoshop place them in a card template or layout and give them to the printer to run off?

Hard to say, really. The forums are set up assuming people know the answer to the question you asked. Perhaps the Design discussion forum might be a place to start. Although now you have the answer I gave above: InDesign. You might want to visit there and take a look around at what people are talking about.
There was a discussion about how to do greeting cards in the last couple of days: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bbda6c9
