Need Laptop Audio Amplifier for USB Connected Speakers

For a laptop, does Creative have any kind of audio amplifier for USB connected speakers?
I think the laptop has what is called an Express 54 slot.
I am looking for amplification suitable for speakers, not headphones.

If their only connection to the laptop is via USB than you can't amp them without doing some internal modifications. It means the speakers have their own audio device internally which is receiving signal via the USB port, processing it and then outputting it via likely a weak amp stage to the speakers - you'd have to physically intercept that last part of the chain to add an amplifier.
Not saying it can't be done but you're looking at either harvesting an existing amp (which Creative don't seem to sell) or creating one from scratch (like the Penguin Mint amp, Objective 2, etc) for the purpose.

What will the cay system accept?
You can get cable for the 4G iPod that support?
- VGA, you also need audio cable for headphone jack to car system,
- Composite, you also need audio cable for headphone jack to car system,
- Component, you also need audio cable for headphone jack to car system,
- HDMI (digital AV)
Note that TV out only works for the 4G for apps that support TV out. The Video app is one such app.

1. It depends on whether the devices have their own power supply or get power through the USB bus, as well as how much power they require.

Laptop audio interface for Studio work?

I'm looking for a solid (works when you plug it in) 2 channel audio interface for my laptop. (G4, 1.67GHZ, 1gb ram, 7200rpm internal HD, LP 7.01, Tiger)
All I need it for, is to use as an output to play sounds via keyboard from Logic, for a live studio session.(Ivory piano, EVB3, synths, drum programming and etc.)
My laptop wil be used like a sound module so it would be nice to have this interface to have midi ports as well.
It doesn't have to be the best convertors in the world just want them to be clean and as good as you would find in a stock Yamaha or Roland keyboard ($2k -range).
Oh yeah - which is better?: Firewire or USB 2.0

Ooo, that is awesome, except it costs twice as much as the studio monitors! The other solutions I was looking at are in the $150 (Presonus Audiobox USB) to $190 (E-MU 0404 USB) range. I was hoping for something under $100, ideally with balanced audio. Probably too much to ask for!
But I have a question for you... do you get a lag in sync when you go through the FireWire mixer? On a different forum I was reading that if you want sync for video it's better to find an external converter that connects to the optical digital out (TOSLINK, S/PDIF) than one that connects via FireWire or USB as that means a new digital clock master. I would like not to have to worry about adjusting to get sync, but if it's less than a frame I'm not worried about it.

Amplifier for Inspire T7900 speakers.

Hi, for some while ago my subwoofer suddenly stopped working, and since the shop I bought it at has shut down, I couldn't get it fixed at all... so now, nearly a year later, I want to use my 7 speakers. Problem is, when I plug them into my computer using some cables I had, the volume is too low. I'm guessing the amplifier is inside the subwoofer...
So, I need a new amplifier. But people I've talked to say something about resistance and bla bla.. so it would be to great help if you could tell me exactly what I need to fix it. If I could I would buy a new subwoofer, but I can't find a package that doesn't give me speakers aswell. Thanks a bunch if you can help!

ID for USB connected cdrw

What designator is correct for the cdrw device when connected via USB-IDE device, sc, sg, or sr?
Can it be Udev rules setup in any of the above?

That's possible. The same CD-drive was listed as /dev/sr0 on another laptop. It was with older kernel and udev versions. That laptop isn't working anymore so I can't test further.
When you plug-in the USB drive, udev should create a device in /dev. By comparing the content of /dev before and after plugging the drive, you can find what device represent your drive.
Here's what dmesg give me when I plug it in:

I need an audio driver for Yoga 13 with Windows 7 Pro 64 bits English

Hi all,
I downgraded my Yoga 13 from Windows 8 to Windows 7 pro 64 bits, and ever since then I have a problem with my microphone.
Skype finds the microphone and can use it, calls are all working fine, but any other program using audio does not work with the microphone.
After troubleshooting, I concluded that I need to update the driver but I cannot find it. Anything that I find on the Lenovo support pages does not install (event the one found on this page: http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds002860).
After looking at this post: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/I-need-an-Internet-driver-for-Yoga-13-wit.... I figured I would to be provided with the link by someone from Lenovo support.
Here's the hardware ID of the soundcard: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_506E&SUBSYS_17AAA001&REV_1000. In Windows it is recognized as High Definition Audio (in the device manager).
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,
From looking at the Yoga 13 Hardware Maintenance Manual and downloading the driver package from the Realtek Wireless LAN & Bluetooth Driver for Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) - IdeaPad Yoga 13 page and extracting (but not running) it to look at the contents, it appears the Yoga 13 uses a wireless LAN card based on Realtek RTL8732 chipset.
I would suggest that you try downloading the drivers, expanding, but not installing them on to a USB flash drive or SD card, then plugging that into the Yoga 13, running the Device Manager (filename: DEVMGMT.MSC), clicking on the appropriate entry for the wireless network adapter, selecting update, and then choosing the Browse my computer for driver software option, pointing that to the location of the unpacked drivers. Perhaps Device Manager will find the correct drivers to install that way.
Regards,

IPod nano's audio fried when USB connecter touched car charge power

In my car, I have a splitter for the "cigarette lighter" power, with two holes facing up. There is no aux jack on the car's radio, so I also have a little radio transmitter, and it gets power from that splitter. An audio cable connects the output of my iPod nano to the audio input of the radio transmitter. My nano had a 30-pin cable connected to it, too.
One of the "cigarette ligher" power splitter's power locations was empty, just a hole facing up. The power splitter also has a couple of USB ports, and I was in the process of attaching my nano with the 30-pin cable into that USB port for power. Unfortunately, the USB connector touched inside the power hole.
So the nano got some voltage from the car battery and/or grounded things in a weird way through the audio of the radio transmitter (connected to the car's power) and the USB end of the 30-pin cable touching the car's power.
The nano's screen froze, and it didn't respond to any button presses. So I figured it was totally fried, but it's not. Once the battery ran down, I could connect it to my Mac, and now everything but the audio is working okay. Through the 30-pin USB connection, I can load up songs from the Mac and play music out of a clock radio.
The probablem I'm writing about is that the sound coming out of the headphones is either non-existant or extremely garbled, depending on the volume level. It's fried. Can anybody give me some hope for un-frying the audio?

OK, so here is my problem. I did originally download the Beta 10.10... Apparently I kept on getting betas and was running 10.10.2 (which today is still in beta).
I did downgrade to 10.10.1 (by clicking "Download" in the App Store).
Right after the downgrade everything with syncing works perfectly.
Cheers, hope this helps someone.

Low Audio Level for USB Audio device

Hello,
I'm recording a voice over for a keynote presentation.
-The internal mic records just fine, but when I use an external usb mic, the level into keynote registers very low.
- in the system preferences the audio input for this exteral mic is perfectly fine.
-the mic has been tested in a pc and records just fine at a good level
-the same thing happens when I run a mic through a mixing board and use the line in on the mac...it shows up fine in audio settings, but has a low level in keynote.
any ideas?

I'm glad you mentioned the preset, Silal. I kept meaning to bring that up, but forgot.
Set Preprocessing to None. That will keep high level short duration sounds, like drums, etc., from overtaking your dialog, and crushing it.
The way DIALNORM is intended to work, you set it to the average level of your dialog from your editing app. If you're working in FCP, then that might be something like -12. That setting will cause the player to attenuate the level so dialog is attenuated by 19dB (-31 minus -12 = 19dB of attenuation by the player).
That, in turn, allows the ridiculously loud music and nat sounds in the film soundtrack to sound "more natural", as they blast your ear drums into bits. "More natural" means "much louder than dialog, just like they are in real life".
Bah, humbug! Let me hear what the talent is saying. I don't care if I can hear every nuance of that rock ballad, I just want to be able to follow the story, the plot.
Hey, I'm an old dude, you whippersnappers.
But back to the point, by setting DIALNORM to -31, the player works out the math like this:
-31 minus -31 = 0dB of attenuation
So, your level should be exactly what it was before the compression/conversion. Why it isn't is a mystery, still.

Problem sending FCP X audio output over USB connection

I have an Antelope Eclipse digital audio converter/monitor controller. It connects to my Mac Pro via USB.
I can play audio just fine out of Pro Tools HD Native at any sample rate.
However, I have just discovered that the audio from FCP X is distorted and "wobbly"......apparently there is a sample rate sync problem between FCP X and the Eclipse.
The audio in question is Linear PCM @ 48kHz.
Is there a problem with FCP X sending audio out through a USB 2.0 connection?
Do I need to change some FCP X settings?

Thanks for the input. Yes, I am aware of possible latency issues. I would stay with low latency sound cards like the Pro Tools card, which worked fine. There would be no D/A conversion, so latency is usually not an issue.
I have asked about compatibility with sound cards in a separate thread, just to be sure any sound card that the Mac Pro recognizes will work:

Need Laptop Recommendation - best for Adobe Premiere Pro editing

I am in the process of looking for a new laptop and need recommendations based on how I will use the laptop. I produce video and mainly use the following programs: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro CS2, Adobe Encore DVD. I also use other photo editing software such as AutoFX PGE7.0.
I currently have an HP Pavilion which is about 5 years old. This desktop has the following specs:
HP Pavilion PU131AV / a1050y, Windows XP MCE, SP3 32bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600, Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 3.20 GHz, 2GB of RAM
I believe that with a new laptop, I could create my videos more efficiently. If you have any input as to what I need in a laptop for my specific purposes, please let me know.
Thanks so much,
Angela

Harm,
Thank you for your response. I have yet to buy the new computer but will be doing so in the next couple of days. I read the links you provided, and another thread which discussed the performance of a laptop vs a desktop. I have changed my mind and will be purchasing a desktop. I need advice concerning this purchase, but will start a new discussion to do so.
Thanks so much,
Angela

Need to find replacement for USB cord

Hello!
(I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong area, but it seems the Toshiba website is a bit of a hassle to navigate through so I gave up, and hoped that the forums could offer me assistance.)
Ok, so a couple of years ago I recieved a Toshiba External Hard Drive (model: HDDR160E03X). It worked great, stored all the files that needed stored etc. But the cord that came with it broke, and was repaired a couple of times. Now the cord is to the point where it cannot be repaired anymore (without a serious amount of work at least).
So I am looking for a USB cord that will work for it. I've tried multiple cords already, but they don't power the external hard drive (it is USB powered) so it doesn't work properly. I haven't been able to find a replacement, which brings me here! Does anybody know where I could find one?
Any help is appreciated.
Solved!

You don't say so, but I infer it's one of those cables that draws power from two USB ports (aka "Y Cable"). If so, here's one.
