Can a sound card be configured to both output and input audio?

I am building a radio tester and would like to output a 1 kHz tone from the laptop's sound card, and then after its been through the radios, input the audio signal again and carry out a SINAD measurement on it.  I can get the VI's to carry out each operation separately  (that is, get one to produce and output a 1 kHz tone, and the other to read an input audio signal and produce a SINAD measurement), but I can't get the two to work together as required. 
I think the problem is to do with the device number.  In both VI's the device number is set as 0, so does this cause a problem when running them together.  The tone is being generated fine, but but it appears that this is what the SINAD VI is measuring, not the input coming from the radio.
Does the device number refer to the sound card itself, and if so, is it possible to distinguish between the audio in and audio out ports?
Any help would be appreciated.

You certainly can - just look at your Windows Soundcard settings and play
with them for a bit. Are you using Line in and Line out? (speaker that is).
What I do is test them separately then together.You don't need two sound
cards by the way though you must inhibit line in so it doesn't play through
the speakers otherwise the input and output get mixed together.The otehr
problem you should have is that teh sine wave will sound as if it is
intermittant - there is a fix for this.

    How long did you let it charge? It may take 30 minutes before the iPad responds when the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minute using the wall charger. Then rest the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
    If the iPad still does not start make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

    can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

    Yes the WiFi card can wear out but not what you would really call wearing out like a pair of pants do. It can start to fail causing the connection between your computer and your Wifi router to slow down, IE transmit and receive less data in a given time period. And then it will fail completely.
    But as to your internet connection being affected by a failing WiFi card no that can't happen.
    If you turn the WiFi off and connect the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable does your internet browsing and downloading speed increase? If it does then there may be something wrong with the WiFi card in your computer or the WiFi section of your router. Hard to say which.
    If after connecting the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable and your speeds do not increase then it is a problem with the router or on your ISPs end.

  • Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

    Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

    Hi Poindexter65,
    There is no setup involved to ePrint from a computer.  So, the answer is yes.  All you need to do in order to ePrint, is send an email (attaching whatever you wish to print) to the printer's email address.
    Here is a link with more information about ePrint and specifications for attachment types, file sizes, etc.:  https://h30495.www3.hp.com/help#eprint

  • My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker.  I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source.  How do I get that screen back?

    Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
    From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
    In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
    Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

  • NI-FBUS Communicat​ions Manager won't start when PCMCIA card is configured as Basic Device and Visitor address

    I can't get the NI-FBUS Communications Manager to start up unless the PCMCIA Series 2 Card is configures as Link Master. I want to Connect to a FFB Segement which already has a LAS 

    Hello,
    The same case.
    It means that fisically I have to connect the the PCMCIA to the actual segment (with its LAS) and then start up the NI-FBUS Comm. Manager?
    Like a Basic Device and Visitor Address will let me change parameters at the devices?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Headphones plugged in, but sound is coming out from both headphones and speakers

    My laptop has had this problem for quite some time now, it first materialized when I updated to Windows 8.1. I had recently upgraded to Windows 10, and the problem fixed itself. But when I used the laptop the next day, it reverted back to playing from both headphones and speakers, so it's not really a problem with the hardware. I've also restored the laptop multiple times (using restore point), and the problem gets fixed for a day, then comes back the next day. I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, but no luck.
    Laptop does not recognize the headphones even when they're plugged in.
    Any other solutions?

    Hi @Alpha_ ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14-b017c  Sleekbook and not playing sound correctly. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound.
    Here is another step to try.
    1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
    2. Select Playback devices
    3. Right click Speakers IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio is your default.
    4. Enable it and set as Default
    5. Click Apply/Ok 
    Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues as headphones or speakers.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    Hope this helps with the sound.
    Thanks.

  • Can I use *one* iTunes library for both MacOS and Bootcamp/Vista?

    Does anybody know if there is a way to use and administer the same library both from MacOS and Bootcamp/WinOS?
    I have Paragon's "NTFS for MacOSX", so I could actually move the library to the NTFS partition and use it from both OSes.
    The thing is, the changes made on one version won't appear on the other system.
    Is there a way to make both iTunes clients read/write to the same files? Is the file format of the Mac-iTunes identical with the one used by the Win version?
    And isn't that an interesting question...?
    Thanks for replying and cheers,
    uu

    The music files are currently on the Mac partition of my MacBook. I plan to move them to the Bootcamp partition, so when using "NTFS for MacOS" I can both read and write there from either partition.
    To facilitate administration (e.g. when I add music files using the Mac iTunes, the Windows iTunes doesn't realize the change) I wonder if I can somehow teach both iTuneses (the one on the Mac side and the other one on the Windoews side) to write to/read the same (XML??) admin files.
    ...which then will have to reside on the NTFS partition as well to be readable/writable from either partition.
    Is there a way to change the default path for the library files?

  • How can I Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection with Server 2012?

    I have a working RDS RemoteApp site and looking to test out the feature in Windows 7 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections
    I came across this link: Create a Client Configuration File for RemoteApp and Desktop Connection and I believe this is what I need to do first, but these instructions are for
    Server 2008, and I'm running 2012.
    Any suggestions or tips on how I can begin testing this with Server 2012?

    Hi,
    You can manually enter the path to the 2012 feed and it will connect and download the RemoteApps and Desktop connections.
    If you need a sample .wcx file I have posted one here a couple of times.  If you want I will look for it and post a link.
    -TP
    I tried adding my URL's below, these are sample links that work for me right now for when I log into the web page, but neither of these work.  And I'm not sure what I would need to do with or how to create a .wcx file.
    When I type in my URL of: https://connect.mydomain.org/RDWeb, I get redirected to:

  • Can't get WEP to work with both mac and windows machines.

    Currently my airport express is setup with no security. When I try to setup using WEP it works great for my powerbook but the windows machines constantly get disconnected.
    Any ideas? Should I use other types of wireless security (WPA etc...)? If so, can an xp machine be configured for that type?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    If you can use WPA use WPA, it will depend on your PC
    wireless adapter and if you are running Windows XP
    SP2.
    --the window PC is running xp sp 2 but the adapter does not appear to support WPA (dell true mobile 1300 internal adapter)
    from your response below not clear what is the best path to take given WEP is the only option.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual
    standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit
    WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors
    use certain algorithms to convert simple
    alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX
    keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable
    WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different
    algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a
    ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently
    on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password
    will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if
    you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is
    required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key
    must be used regardless.

  • List of creative sound cards that support 5.1 ,older and new

    Title says it all as I'm looking to purchase(new or used) creative 5. sound card. I'm unsure as to what older models support 5.,it's for a friend and I want to make sure he gets the right one.Li've,Audigy or other?I don't need one with all the bells and whistles just one that supports 5.. Thanks.

    I'm afraid 11b is affected.
    I have a D-Link DSL 604+ router, which is 11b only.
    Wireless is very slow, I noticed it right away. I get the sawtooth readout in activity monitor's network section.
    Also, after putting the iMac to sleep it cannot find my wifi network upon waking. I have to restart the system before it'll connect to my wifi network again.

  • Need Sound Card Compatible With Intel D975XBX Mobo and Windows 7

    Did a search and no joy. I built a home theater computer about 5 years ago around the D975XBX,? I was using the Sigmatel integrated sound via toslink to my receiver without any problems. I installed W7 yesterday only to find that there are no Intel mobo drivers for W7. So before I go throught he hassle and expense of replacing the mobo and processor, are there any sound cards that are compatible with this mobo and W7? I don't do gaming on this machine, or 3D, mainly 5. out to my receiver. Thanks.
    Tim?

    DWell, I'll answer my own question. Finding it very hard to belei've that a driver wasn't available for the Sigmatel, I upgraded the Bios, then did another seach. Cha-ching, money!
    I really like SB cards, but I don't like spending money when I don't have to.
    Even though Intel said it stopped supporting?the mono?in '08, the bios was an '09 version. This may be helpful to others who are using this mobo.
