Best soundcard for headpho

I want to purchase a soundcard $30-$50 range that will allow me to have the headphones hooked up all the time, but allow me to mute the speakers when on the headphone. Most store sales people cannot answer the question. Do I want one the USB types? Thanks for any info.

Well, then you can directly plug it into your sound card. Most sound cards have a mic port.
If yours is the big one and cannot fit into the small jack, then you can very easily buy a converter for it.
If you need a sound card, and on a budget, then try Sound Blaster Li've 24 bit.
Otherwise, just go in full force and get Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (don't bother getting anything in between, especially Audigy 2 Value.)

  • Searching for best Soundcard for record

    Hi,
    I'm a Dj and I'm looking for the best card to record from vinyls. I'm looking for a card witch can record in 92 kHz but I'm not sure if the "Creative X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series" can do so.
    Could anybody help me

    I found that the onboard sound was as good as my soundblaster audigy, so I took it out.  I have two identical systems networked. One system is used as a jukebox/media station, so sound is important there.
    I put the audigy in one & hooked up my Altec Lansing 880 speakers to each system.  These are excellent speakers, by the way, so any degredation would be in the soundcard.  There was none.  So I pulled out the Audigy, & happily game & mp3.  Then again, I'm using the 845E max2, so your onboard sound may be different.  In which case, ASSAF is right, just disable onboard sound,networking, or whatever, & drop in your additions.

    read the sticky guides,building and bios
    bios one suggests not having acpi on with tv cards might help and a few other ideas in them,pci latencey etc
    In addition you can find numerous articles in this forum and on the web about the combination of VIA Chipsets and SB cards; it just appears that there is still an inherent risk in that combination. Problems some times - but not always - can be solved using Latency settings or patches ...
    I recommend to look for other soundcards in case of VIA chipsets (unless you can arrange with your dealer that you may return the card in case of problems). There are, also according to my experience, several cards around which will at least match the quality of SB for the same price or less - just go out and use your ears.

  • What is the best soundcard for Linux?

    What soundcard would you recommend to buy?
    I was thinking that Audigy is best choice, but then I looked on ALSA website, and found out that most of Audigy is not supported or mostly unsupported (lack of capture?!).
    Currently I use SB Live 1024, I want to have something better, without so much noise on inputs.

    At the moment, I use RCA cables to connect the sound card to my mixer (both in and out). From the mixer, I get sound through my headphones or a pair of studio monitors. I'm sure you've looked at the card online, but it's main output is an RCA connection. If you attach the extra cable, you get MIDI and S/PDIF connections. So if you are going to use regular computer speakers, you would need to get an adapter (RCA to 1/8" jack), which is what I used to use before adding the mixer.

  • Best option for optical au

    Hey guys,
    just a query - i have an audigy 2 ZS currently, and a high end yamaha 7. amplifier.
    what im wanting to do is connect this up via optical .. its currently connected via RCA and it seems to get confused as to which is the sub and which is the centre, despite me trying all combinations of cabling.
    so i thought an optical wire from soundcard to amplifier would be the best way ?
    i've read somewhere that if i do this, and play 2. audio (mp3s), my rear channel will be disabled ? surely thats not true ? - reason for saying this is i've seen home theatre setups where a CD player is hooked up to an amp via optical, and it still produces audio through the rear channels.
    whats the best option to run this via optical ? do i need to purchase a new sound card ? if so, what is the best option for me ?
    id rather quality than cheaping out on something that 'will do the job', but options are always welcome
    mostly i listen to music with a bit of bass, i dont do a whole heap of gaming, so i guess music is the focus.
    Thanks !

    ReaperZ,
    The center is on the nominally-left-channel RCA, so the likely-red-coded, nominally-right-channel RCA is your subwoofer connector.
    I don't have the same soundcard model, and I can't give you blow-by-blow detail, but try looking in the Bass Management tab of the Speaker Settings control, or you may find something in the THX Setup Console, for bass redirection. You should at least find subwoofer volume and crossover-frequency sliders, and you also might find a center volume control. I'm a proponent of running all soundcard volumes at 00% and controlling listening volume and speaker balance at the amp, since this maximizes the digital SNR, but it can also be less convenient.
    Run through the receiver manual's troubleshooting section for "No sound from the center speaker" and "No sound from the subwoofer" just to rule out a setting problem on the receiver side.
    Then use "Manually adjusting speaker levels" on pg 45 of the receiver manual, with? MULTI CH IN selected on the remote control, to max the SWFR level (+0dB). Most receivers have separate level settings for their multi-channel input, so it is usually advantageous to provide the +0dB boost this way so it is in effect only when using the soundcard. This boost can be increased further by lowering all of the other settings the same number of dB's: if you subtract dB from all of the others, the effect is to increase the relati've subwoofer volume by dB.
    Try using this information and let us know what happens.

  • Best practices for setting up users on a small office network?

    Hello,
    I am setting up a small office and am wondering what the best practices/steps are to setup/manage the admin, user logins and sharing privileges for the below setup:
    Users: 5 users on new iMacs (x3) and upgraded G4s (x2)
    Video Editing Suite: Want to connect a new iMac and a Mac Pro, on an open login (multiple users)
    All machines are to be able to connect to the network, peripherals and external hard drive. Also, I would like to setup drop boxes as well to easily share files between the computers (I was thinking of using the external harddrive for this).
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

    Unlikely.  Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
    Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

  • Best-practice for Catalog Views ? :|

    Hello community,
    A best practice question:
    The situtation: I have several product categories (110), several items in those categories (4000) and 300 end-users.    I would like to know which is the best practice for segment the catalog.   I mean, some users should only see categories 10,20 & 30.  Other users only category 80, etc.    The problem is how can I implement this ?
    My first idea is:
    1. Create 110 Procurement Catalogs (1 for every prod.category).   Each catalog should contain only its product category.
    2. Assign in my Org Model, in a user-level all the "catalogs" that the user should access.
    Do you have any idea in order to improve this ?
    Saludos desde Mexico,
    Diego

    Hi,
    Your way of doing will work, but you'll get maintenance issues (to many catalogs, and catalog link to maintain for each user).
    The other way is to built your views in CCM, and assign these views to the users, either on the roles (PFCG) or on the user (SU01). The problem is that with CCM 1.0 this is limitated, cause you'll have to assign one by one the items to each view (no dynamic or mass processes), it has been enhanced in CCM 2.0.
    My advice:
    -Challenge your customer about views, and try to limit the number of views, with for example strategic and non strategic
    -With CCM 1.0 stick to the procurement catalogs, or implement BADIs to assign items to the views (I experienced it, it works, but is quite difficult), but with a limitated number of views
    Good luck.

  • Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

    What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
    They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
    Defining agent for each?
    Gateway for all?
    BPEL security extension?
    The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
    Regards
    Farbod

    It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
    The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
    Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
    If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
    Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
    You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
    When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
    The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
    Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.
    Thanks

  • Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

    I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
    It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

    I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
    works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?
