Internal or External Soundcard

I wish to upgrade the quality of the sound which my PC transmits to my home theatre system.
I presently have a 5. SoundBlaster card in the PC and I have received conflicting advice about how to achieve the above improvement.
Most people have told me that an external sound card is the way to go, however my usual supplier has recommended an upgrade to a 7. internal card. This is not an area of technical proficiency for me so I am in something of a dilemma.
My questions therefore are:
which is the batter way to go external or upgraded internal, and
which product would you recommend?
Thanks,
Bob

You are not going to be able to add a "sound card" (or any other card for that matter) to your iMac. The best thing you can do if you're unhappy with the sound is to add a pair of quality external speakers. For a long time I had a pair of JBL Creature II speakers that were great until my kids poked their little fingers through the speakers. http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/jbl-creature-ii-21-speakers-ipod

Internal or External Soundcards? Which?

Presently I'm using a Eurorack MX 602A small 6 channel mixer. Which I run the output into the rear Mac mini jack audio input. The inputs on the mixer are mostly 1/4" (guitar, bass etc.) and I use a MIDISPORT 2 x 2 (USB)...I only have a DX7s connected.
I was thinking of getting a soundcard. Which would be better an external or internal? I was thinking about an internal, then thought that it might drain my MacPro's power supply (electric or CPU).
I'd like one with at least one midi-connection, perhaps 2~4 1/4" audio jacks, one mic jack, don't really need that much.
The reason is sometimes when I play the bass thru the mixer the volume is just too low. Can anyone suggest a reasonable soundcard (price & performance) for use with Logic Pro 8? Thanks

Focusrite Saffire LE (FireWire)
Line 6 Pod Studio UX2 (USB)
ESI U46XL (USB)
These three all fit your needs, and cost considerably less than the Duet (which is top quality, but has a to steep price to quality curve imo). The last two don't have MIDI, but since you already have a 2x2 MIDIsport, you don't really need it.
About the Bass: I assume you mean a bassguitar? You should plug that into the jack (unbalanced) input of channel one or two (I have a 602 too) and adjust the preamp gain (small black pot below the input) until the volume is satisfactory.

Find Beats, Markers problem and External Soundcard

Dear Sirs,
I am using Audition CS6 on Mac and working perfectly.
However I would like to bring the following three enquiries that I have for possibly an answer and/or possibly solution/s:
- The Find Beats tool is somehow missing in CS6.
Is it only me that I cannot locate this tool or it is not yet implemented in CS6.
And if not implemented, is it planned for future releases?
- When markers are deleted from a track, they are still in cache memory and can't be used until Audition is closed and re-opened.
In simpler words: if for example, I have 100 markers in a track and I delete the 80th marker.
If I place another marker soon after deletion of the 80th marker, the new marker is named as 101.
But if soon after I the deletion of the 80th marker, I close the Audition and re-opened, the next marked marker is named as the 80, and the next marker will be the 101.
Is this a known issue, and is it planned to be fixed?
- When changing the Audio Hardware from External soundcard to Internal without having the external soundcard yet connected, no playback is possible.
Solution: Connect the Ext. soundcard just until you change the Audio Hardware to Internal Soundcard and then you can disconnect the Ext. Soundcard with playback working flawlessly.
Is this annoying issue known and any plans for fixing?
While thanking you in advance, I would appreciate your kind feedback on my enquiries above.
Thanks and regards,
Frank Galea

How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?

Hey, I know there are other posts on what enclosure you can use and if it's a possibility, but I haven't seen any that tell me how I get OS X on the SSD without a disc? Can I download the installer on a flash drive somehow? Also, I am wondering if this really is a good idea, using my Macbook Pro's HDD for a backup HDD, instead of buying one? I have no use for it anyway, if and when I get a new SSD. BTW, the HDD is the upgraded factory 500gb 7200rpm. Also, do you think it's smarter to have a bigger backup drive than internal drive? In other words, I would like to get a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD, and my current HDD is only 500GB.... I am a musician and need a lot of storage for musical purposes. I use Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live 9, Office, and Photoshop.... My Macbook Pro is a Late 2011 Macbook Pro 15.4' 2.2ghz quad core i7 8gb RAM. Oh yeah and a mother thing is, I think I should get an enclosure that has a thunderbolt port with usb, what are your thoughts?

How to Make my Macbook Pro's internal HDD external, when I get a SSD?
Get an externel enclosure at the same time.
You can order from OWC
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Put the SSD in the externel enclosure and use something like Carbon Copy Cloner, to clone the internal drive and all it content to the SSD. Then swap them out.
Always good to have more than one backup.

Same usernames, internal vs. external domains, conflict when usingWebAccess

Currently running GW 8.0.2hp2 on NetWare 6.5sp8.
We have a single domain and single post office, and a single WebAccess
and single GWIA gateway. We about 25 external domains setup to allow
using external users' e-mail addresses our in internal corporate address
books and distribution lists following the procedure outlined here:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/...a/a2zvyc4.html
The problem is that one of my internal users in our corporate domain/PO
has the same userid as a user in one of the external domain/PO's. So,
for example, their e-mail addresses are:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Everything works except that my internal user cannot use GW WebAccess.
Trying to login to WebAccess results in the following error:
"Please login again. You may have typed your name or password
incorrectly. Remember that your user name must be unique."
If I either change my internal user's GroupWise userid, or if I delete
or rename the external user's userid, then my internal user can login
into WebAccess without a problem. So this does appear to be due to
non-unique username's. The WebAccess is seeing the internal and
external user names, and not allowing my internal user to login.
Is there a work around for this since the users are in separate domains
and PO's, or do I need to just rename my internal user's account? I
have no control over the external user's e-mail address, so I can't
rename their userid.
Is there a way to keep the "default WebAcess" gateway from looking at
external domain's for user account authentication? I have tried setting
up a class of service in the WebAccess gateway to deny access to the
external domain, and that hasn't worked either.
Thanks,

DNS Forwarding Same Internal and External Zone

Hi,<o:p></o:p>
So we have decided that we want our internal domain to be the same as our external domain e.g. domain.uk. I understand that split DNS can be used
to fulfil this requirement but is it possible to set up a forward so if the DNS entry is not available in the internal zone it will forward onto one of our external name servers where it can resolve?<o:p></o:p>
We are basically trying to avoid having to add the entry on both external and internal DNS servers for it to resolve. So far I have added the external name servers to
the forwarders and disabled root hints which didn’t work. I’ve tried to add a conditional forwarder but it says the zone already exists. It seems the only to achieve the internal resolution is by creating the DNS entry both internally and externally.<o:p></o:p>
Does anyone know if this is the case? It seems strange that you couldn’t point the DNS to another external name server for resolution? <o:p></o:p>
Any help would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p>

Delivery report shows status of Pending for external address. Email sent to both internal and external addresses.

We have an Exchange 2013 on-premise server and seem to have an issue with emails sent to internal and external users at the same time.
The issue came to light because someone sent an email to 44 recipients, of which one was internal. None of the external recipients received the email. I checked the delivery report in the EAC and found the internal email marked as 'Delivered' and all of
the external ones marked as 'Pending'. I checked the queues and there were none. I did some testing and sent an email to just one of the external addresses on the list, it arrived. I tried sending the email again to all of the recipients, the external ones
all showed 'Pending'. I tried it again, but this time excluded the internal email address and all of the 43 external emails were immediately delivered.
So it seems that the issue only arises when we are sending to both internal and external addresses.
I then tried a test email to one internal address and one external address. The Delivery report says that the internal address was delivered immediately, while the external address is 'Pending' and gives more information saying: 'Message delivery is taking
longer than expected. There may be system delays. For more information, contact your helpdesk.'. To add further mystery to this, the email was actually delivered.
So, I have two concerns:
First is seems that some emails sent both internally and externally are only arriving internally. This is a huge problem because I don't know how many have been affected. There may be many lost emails we don't know about.
Second, it looks like I can't trust the delivery report. It says pending for some emails which didn't arrive, but it also says pending for some which did arrive. That is no good at all.
For info the server is running Windows Server 2012. I have run a Microsoft Update to check if there are any to apply and the only Exchange one is a spam filter update, which I doubt has any bearing but I will apply when I get chance.

Hi Neil,
According to the description, I find a related KB on Exchange 2010:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2694474?wa=wsignin1.0
It has the similar situation as yours.
This issue occurs because a function in a message tracking component tries to obtain the information for the recipient instead of the external recipient.
Please try to upgrade to the latest Exchange update to check whether this issue can be solved.
Also please check whether Throttling has been set.
Please run "Get-TransportService | fl" to check the MaxOutboundConnections parameter value.

Can I split my itunes music library between and internal and external hard drive?

Is it possible to have music on the two different drives and still be able to make playlists from both drives to put on my ipod? Here's my situation: I'm using a Dell 32 bit computer running Vista Home Premium SP2 which I share with other users. I have a large itunes library (40g+ of music only) that's starting to hog the hard disk space from other users. If possible, I would like to split off part of my itunes library to an external hard drive while still having access to the entire library for my ipod. Ideally I would like to have all my downloaded songs on both the internal and external drives so I'll have backups in case a drive fails, while putting all the music I have hard copies of solely on the external drive. Any help on how this can be done would be appreciated.

If you manually manage your itues library, you can store parts of it on an external drive, or on an internal drive. Just keep in mind that in iTunes that you must set a default location for iTunes to manage it's files, and that will be the default location for iTunes to store anything it downloads. You would need to manuay manage moving things from there if tht is not where you want them stored.
Perhaps a "better" solution would be for you to invest a little mone into 2 external drives. One to hold your entire iTunes library, and the second to be your off-line backup of the first. This is the method I have gone with and I like how it works for me. My entire iTunes library is on an external (portable) 320GB drive. Then, when iTunes is not running, I will clone my external drive onto a second drive I happen to have, this way if I have any failure of my primary drive, I lose at most about a weeks worth of content. For me, I purchase little content during a week, but I do move a fairly large volume of podcasts. With the entire library being on the external drive, if I ever have to swap to using my backup drive iTunes wil just think that it hasn't run and downloaded anything for a week, and all the "lost" content will be re-downloaded automatically. This won't work for apps or purchased content, but for subscribed podcasts, it is great.

How do I Move Events from an Internal to External drive?

Hello,
I am trying to move events on my internal drive to my new external drive. Everything is set up and I see the external drive, but after reading other posts and replies it seems I can't just move the files from the internal to external drive by dragging and dropping using finder.
Can anyone give some guidance on how I do this so i don't have to reload all my videos on the external drive.
Also, when they are moved over, will i see the external drive when I open iMovie, or do I ahve to do something to see it in my Events Library.
Any help be be appreciated.

Can anyone give some guidance on how I do this so i don't have to reload all my videos on the external drive.
Best approach is to import files directly to the external drive during the initial import process by selecting the appropriate drive in the import window. However, for Events already stores, here is A QUICKIE VIDEO TUTORIAL.
Also, when they are moved over, will i see the external drive when I open iMovie, or do I ahve to do something to see it in my Events Library.
You must activate the "external drive" icon in iMovie '08 to make your external drives visible in the Event Library list. (I.e. Press the icon to the right of the "Event Library" title and to the left of the actual Event Window.) Sorry, answered your e-mail message before seeing the second question here.

SharePoint 2013 - Office Web Apps - Internal and External Use

I have successfully installed SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps on Azure VMs inside an Azure Virtual Network (IaaS model). Everyting is working well. However, my testing has shown that external users and internal users can't use Office Web Apps at the
same time.
Office Web Apps, installed on its own vm, accomodates an external and internal URL quite well. However, SharePoint 2013 appears to only allow one setting for WOPI Zone, either internal or external but not both. I've set the WOPI zone to Internal-HTTPS (Set-SPWOPIZone
–Zone “internal-https”). OWA works just fine if accessed from inside the Azure Virtual Network. However, if I try to access from outside the Virtual Network, from the Internet, Office Web Apps fails. The exact oppisite is also true. I can set WOPI Zone to
External-HTTPS and accessing from the Internet works fine, but accessing inside the Virtual Network fails.
Am I missing something? I, obviously, want Office Webs Apps to function properly for both internal and external users simultaneously.
I appreciate any help anyone can provide here.

Hi Glenn,
To have both the use of Internet and Internal available to your end-users, you first need to configure AAM setting. Open Central Administration > Application Management > Configure alternate access mappings. Let's say there is an existing web application
named http://sharepoint and my end-users from local network are able to access it using the URL http://sharepoint (root site collection). Here you need to add the Internet URL by select the web application and click Edit Public URLs. Add the Internet domain
to the web application, e.g http://sharepoint.abc.com. You don't necessarily have to edit binding setting in IIS. Before continuing next steps, make sure you are able to access http://sharepoint.abc.com from the Internet while being able to access http://sharepoint
from local network (aka Internal).
On the machine where Office Web App (OWA) Server 2013 is installed, open PowerShell to add OWA module and use the following command to re-create a new OWA server farm if you've completed configuring it previously.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl "http://owa" -ExternalUrl "http://owa.abc.com" -EditingEnabled.
In this case, I'm not using SSL certificate to encrypt data over the Internet. You can use Internet-public IP of the OWA server like -ExternalUrl "http://198.xxx.xxx.xx". Add CertifcateName parameter if you want to use whether CA-issued certificate
or self-signed certificate.
On your SharePoint machine, you need to re-bind all WFE machines to WAC farm using the cmdlet New-SPWOPIBinding. Next, you need to set the WOPI zone for both internal and external.
Set-SPWOPIZone -zone "external-http"
Note: I'm not all using certificate in my guidance. But the steps to have it configured is just to add more parameter.
I've recently successfully deployed OWA multi-server farm for both internal and internet uses for two big clients. In real-world scenario, ideally OWA should be published through firewall (Forefront UAG, TMG, F5...etc). Please let me know if you still have
issues after following my steps. My email: [email protected]

Creative MP3+ External soundcard support..

Does the Creative MP3+ External soundcard support "Stereo Mix"?

@Creativeuser1
You still haven't tell us if you are using the X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro or the X-Fi Surround 5.1 .
1. Did you activate any audio enhancements, like CMSS, crystalizer, etc..?
Go to the Entertainment Console and click on the Default checkbox. That should turn off all audio enhancements and reset all settings to default.
2. This two products doesn't have Gaming or Audio Creation mode.

Front End internal and external web services

Hi all,
Can someone explain the purpose of internal and external web services URL in front end server. what does it do and what is it used for? and why the external traffic goes directly to it and not through reverse proxy?
Thanks,

They're for multiple purposes. Address books, autodiscovery, meeting urls, mobile clients, etc. There are two because they respond slightly differently based on whether the client is internal or external. External traffic should always reach
it through a reverse proxy, that reverse proxy should proxy traffic received on port 443 to port 4443 on your front end pool.

How to configure AD on windows 2012 server for Exchange 2013 internal and external email flow

Dear Experts,
I have to configure exchange 2013 on Windows server 2012 STD. Company has registered Static IP addresses and can get the MX record pointing to any of this Static IP.
The registered domain name is e.g. contoso.com.
a. What should I use as domain name on AD? contoso.com or contoso.local
b. Is it recommended to have two different servers for AD and Exchange?
c. What should be my connector settings for mail flow?
d. how can I set 2 email servers in company for load balancing?

Hi,
a, I suggest use contoso.com as domain name. It is convenient to add urls into our certificate for internal and external mail flow.
b, Recommended that installing AD
and Exchange Server on two separate
Servers. If Exchange Server downed unfortunately, it can prevent AD server from crushing at the same time.
c, Found some articles for your reference:

Cisco ISE with both internal and External RADIUS Server

Hi
I have ISE 1.2 , I configured it as management monitor and PSN and it work fine
I would like to know if I can integrate an external radius server and work with both internal and External RADIUS Server simultanously
So some computer (groupe_A in active directory ) will continu to made radius authentication on the ISE internal radius and other computer (groupe_B in active directory) will made radius authentication on an external radius server
I will like to know if it is possible to configure it and how I can do it ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Blaise

Cisco ISE can function both as a RADIUS server and as a RADIUS proxy server. When it acts as a proxy server, Cisco ISE receives authentication and accounting requests from the network access server (NAS) and forwards them to the external RADIUS server. Cisco ISE accepts the results of the requests and returns them to the NAS.
Cisco ISE can simultaneously act as a proxy server to multiple external RADIUS servers. You can use the external RADIUS servers that you configure here in RADIUS server sequences. The External RADIUS Server page lists all the external RADIUS servers that you have defined in Cisco ISE. You can use the filter option to search for specific RADIUS servers based on the name or description, or both. In both simple and rule-based authentication policies, you can use the RADIUS server sequences to proxy the requests to a RADIUS server.
The RADIUS server sequence strips the domain name from the RADIUS-Username attribute for RADIUS authentications. This domain stripping is not applicable for EAP authentications, which use the EAP-Identity attribute. The RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the RADIUS-Username attribute and strips it from the character that you specify when you configure the RADIUS server sequence. For EAP authentications, the RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the EAP-Identity attribute. EAP authentications that use the RADIUS server sequence will succeed only if the EAP-Identity and RADIUS-Username values are the same.
