Dreamplug, 16 bit DAC, relevant when using optical out?

I am looking at this baby to use as an MPD server. The plan is to connect it to my amp through the optical out. The plan, of course, is to put Arch on it in due time (I don't know the status of the ARM port).
I assume the fact the DAC is only 16 bit does not matter when you use optical, but I just want to be sure .

.:B:. wrote:It has an SD(HC) slot as well . If I get it it'd just be running MPD, and NFS, nothing more. Should be able to squeeze that onto 1 GB (although it will probably be Debian).
Yes in that case you are probably better off putting a Slug on it instead of Arch, you'll have an mpd server up and running in no time. However, for a music station / fileserver, wouldn't an ARM NAS be an interesting alternative? They're not much bigger or more expensive, but you'll have the storage as well then.

Audio Probelms with some DVDS/BLU-RAY discs when using optical out to Audigy 2

I have my PS3 connected to my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard via optical?cable to play 5. sound on my PC sound system (Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.). I have finally successfully played discrete 5. sound with some DVDs. I have changed my optical out setting to bitstream in the DVD/BD menu (XMB) and selected optical with everything checked in (XMB). So far, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and Minority Report have worked in proper 5. (not stereo matrixing). Both Dolby Digital and DTS tracks (I know it works because it sounds twice as good as Dolby?Digital) ?work in Minority Report. The problem is... Jurassic Park (DTS) and my Blu-ray MIssion Impossible 3 have no audio (probably more too). The STRANGE part is if I fastfoward both films by .5x (so that audio plays in FF) I can hear audio. When FF by .5x the display signal on the top of the screen changes from DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL: Multi Channel to DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL: 5..
What is with that?Also I still do not get audio in any games, Resistance (Blu-ray)?or any game demo but I do get the audio from the game display screen (XMB). Please if anyone has?any?useful advise or information it would be greatly appreciated.
?Thank you!

Only 2 speakers working when using optical

I have my speakers set to 5., and I have adiohq set to use digital output only. I am using the optical out on the front of my audigy platinum dri've to connect to my 5. receiver. When I do a speaker test, only the 2 front speakers make any noise. The center channel and rear channels have nothing. How can I get the optical out to use those speakers?

I've got the same problem. I tried everything on this FAQ, though it's for the Audigy, not the ZS. Are you using the Toslink connecter on the front of the I/O dri've too?

I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 or 64 bit version. When using version 5.0.3 of Bootcamp, I keep getting the message that it is a 32 bit disk. Any ideas how to get it to recognize the 64 bit version?

I have a Windows 7 Pro OEM disk that can install either the 32 bit or 64 bit versions. When trying to setup a dual boot for my Mac Mini using Bootcamp version 5.0.3, I get the message that I have the 32 bit version of Windows. Any ideas on how I can get it to recognize the 64 bit version so that I can partition my "Mini"?

If by "OEM" you mean the disk came with another Win computer, it won't work. You need either a full retail verison or the "System Builders' Edition." I used the latter for my BC installation and it worked flawlessly and was marked as 64-bit--no mention of 32-bit.

No Audio When using Video Out to Firewire

I do not get any audio when I use Firewire ntsc as my video out. When I set video out to canvas playback then I get audio. I want to use print to video but I cannot because the audio will not work with Firewire. I get the image on my external monitor but not the audio. I checked to make sure and the audio was not on the recorded dvd. I cannot not use print to video with canvas playback.
My Easy Setup is Format: NTSC, Use DV NTSC DV Converter. I tried using Firewire basic and got the same results.
Please Help
Ken

The audio does not play at all from the timeline if video out is set to Firewire. To answer your question, no the audio does not play in the external monitor when playing back from the timeline when Canvas is used as the video out. However, I don't believe the converter box is the problem. The audio would play in the internal speakers when using firewire as video out but it does not.

Computer chatter when using direct out and splitter box

Hello
I have recently purchased a line6 bass amp and when using the direct out for recording I get computer chatter through the speakers.
I also get the same problem using a splitter box. One lead to the amp and the other into the interface. As soon as I plug into the interface the chatter comes back.
I also have the same problem using a splitter box to a guitar amp
I have a recording studio and use top quality leads
Presonus tube preamps and M Audio interface.
If I plug an instrument or mic in........... no chatter at all. Only with direct out and splitter box does the problem arise.
Previously I have recorded my amp and then a DI track separately but would like to record them simultaneously
Has anyone else had this problem and did they find a solution?
Thank you

There are loads of posts in these discussions concerning the problems that people have when they upgrade. The gist of it seems to be to make sure you know which plug-ins, samples, devices, & drivers you have +in advance,+ so that when they don't work you will be prepared & will know what to do.
The shocking truth is that some items that we can become quite dependent on will one day very likely just stop working, & will never work again after that.
I hate it when that happens. OTOH, I have eight Akai S612 Samplers, & they all still work…

Compile error when using System.out

Hello,
I have a static part (declarative, comes within <%! %>) inside a jsp. When i use System.out.println inside this, it throws me error. Let me know what is the reason for the same.
Thanks, Aravinth

Hi Aravinth.
You it self told that <%! %> is a declarative statement then how you can give a output statement.
<%! %> It includes only declarative statements.
And also System.out.println can't be used in Jsp since it is a implicit object.out is already declared is jsp as implicit object.You can use it as out.println();in <%%>.
Try to avoid scriplets in jsp.

Qosmio X770-11C - how to disable on board speakers when using Line Out?

Hi,
Is there any way to disable on board speakers when the line out is used.
Currently if I plug in a cable to the hadphone socket and choose lineout on the realtek control panel, the sound is output to the line out as expected but also through the internal speakers.
Is there any way to stop this, and only have sound going out through the line out?
thanks
Graeme

If you want to hear sound on headset only you must choose Headphone option.
Disconnect cable and connect it again. When you see small window on the screen where you can choose between headphone and line out options choose headphone and you will hear sound on external device only.
In case you have disabled this popup dialog you can activate it manually. Open Realtek manager connect external device and when you see activated black point on the right side make double click there and change settings.

Display brightness dims a bit/is 'fuzzy' when using expose (F9) ??

Hi
I realise that my Macbook Pro's brightness dims a bit after using the expose function. I know it'll dim a bit when you're using it but when i go back to the selected programme i'm running, it kinda of dims like a little (probably i'd say 1/2 or 1 notch) before reverting back to its normal brightness that i've set.
So i'm asking is this normal?
Additionally, i realise that my display tends to look a bit "fuzzy" when i use the expose. It's like one corner of the selected programme in expose would look fuzzy. A screenshot is shown as in the link:
http://www.geocities.com/worldofdarkness89/MBPscreen.png
Is this normal as well?? It's like i'm running my firefox and msn and when i use expose to alternate between these 2 windows, my msn chat at the corner, i realise the words turn out fuzzy and a tad distorted.

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

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!

Mac Mini, iBook, Flat Panel Lamp iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

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??

Blurry Text When Using Video out With FX 5900U

I just got a MSI Geforce FX5900Ultra VTD256, and i was trying to play games on my TV. I used the S-Video to video (the yellow Cable) adapter and when im in the desktop, all the text is real blurry, i cant even read it. I tried lowering the resolution to see if that would make it easyer to read, but it didnt work. Can someone please help. Maybe the is somthing wronge with me TV???

Hi,
TV sets have lower resolution and bandwidth than PC monitors - the two are sort of related, but are not quite the same thing.
Resolution is often measured in "lines", meaning the number of individual vertical lines that could be displayed across the width of the TV and still be distinguishable as individual lines. A figure of 800 lines was considered pretty good, and could usually only be achieved in a TV studio, from a camera direct to a monitor. So 800 pixels is about as much as a TV (especially a smaller one) can reasonably display. (The vertical resolution depends on the TV standard, and is about 600 lines or pixels for PAL, and about 500 for NTSC)
The other factor is Bandwidth, which is measured in Megahertz (MHz). Basically, the finer the (horizontal) detail, the more bandwidth you need in the path between the source and the picture tube to display it faithfully. Broadcast TV is deliberately limited to about 5MHz, whereas a computer monitor will have several tens of MHz of bandwidth.
Also, the chrominance (colour) component of a composite or S-Video signal is limited to less than 2 MHz, so fine colour detail will be worse off (Black on white or vice-versa will give best results).
Anyway, the practical outcome of all this is that the highest resolution you can use for TV out is 800x600, and even then you need to use larger fonts (so the vertical lines are thicker, and there are a reasonable number of horizontal lines in a character). The maximum number of characters per line should be less than 60-80.
There are some scan-converters available which use fancy techniques to render a reasonable image at higher resolutions, but they are fairly expensive.
S-Video should give better results than composite, but you will still be up against bandwidth and resolution limits

JSP Compilation Error when using OC4J out of the box

Hello.
After installing Java jdk 1.5.0_05, setting ORACLE_HOME, setting JAVA_HOME, rebooting, and installing OC4J standalone straight out of the box, I have deployed a simple web project that consists of just one JSP. I receive the following error message:
NOTIFICATION J2EE JSP-0008 Unable to dispatch jsp Page: oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompilationException: Errors compiling: C:\LocalApps\OC4J\j2ee\home\application-deployments\oc4j_jsp\persistence\_pages\\_Test.java<pre></pre>
I have deployed a number of Flex2 applications without incident. What am I missing here? Another odd thing is that my organization has OAS running and it can render JSPs fine.
Any help is appreciated thanks,
Mike
P.S. I have gone back and set the JSP debug switches, but they do not yeild much more info. Here is the stacktrace:

I had the very same Problem, and I spent a lot of time on it.
When installing Oc4j as a service using Javaservice opnesource, I had no problem, even using J.D.K 1.6:
%JSEXE% -install %JSNAME% %JVMDIR%\jvm.dll -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -Djava.class.path=%OC4J_HOME%\oc4j.jar -start oracle.oc4j.loader.boot.BootStrap -params -config %OC4J_HOME%\config\server.xml -out %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stdout.log -err %OC4J_HOME%\log\OC4J_service_stderr.log -current %JSBINDIR% -auto -description OC4JService
Then I wanted to install it using "ServiceMill" or "Javaservice Wrapper", becuase it has a better control on the process and I had that awfull compilation error.
I guess it is because ServiceMills uses java.exe and javaservice the .dll to launch the oc4j, no idea.
Anyway, thank you very much!!!!!

Popup LOV fails in firefox when using an outer join!!!

I have a popup lov which contains at least 2 outer joins in my query. The popup renders fine in IE but i get the error message:
"Popup List of Values query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different"
when launching the popup from Firefox (1.5.0.2)
Anyone got any idea why this works in IE but fails in Firefox?
Cheers
Duncan

Hello,
Duncan If you'll run your example code on SQL*Plus, you'll see that for department "OPERATIONS" there is no returned value. This could happen with outer join. The problem can be with the way FF is interpreting this non-value. I didn't try it my self, but maybe if you'll use display null value with your LOV, it will solve the problem. Another possible option is to use NVL() on the returned value.
Chris Some of the Apex team members, like Carl, are using FF as their main browser. There are some compatibility issues with the last version of FF, but from that, to your conclusion of Apex only support IE, there's a long road.
Regards,
Arie.
