Soundblaster-live without PCI-slot for external

Hello,?Is it possible to use a soundcard SB-li've platium without computer? i am become mad with recycling, so i want to recycle my cd-rom for?cd-audio,but?i read the new one's only give a digital signal. I could build a DAC but i have an old SB-li've with SPDIF, so i thought "why can't i reuse that also?". In the Netherlands we say?"i have heard?the leaf?but i don't know where the?bell hung's", so i know a little of electronic's? but not enough i am afraid. How can i charge my soundblaster? with pin b,a2,b5,b6,a5 and a8 or do i need to charge?other pins also?ThanksWeirdo Bert?

Did you have any luck in getting rid of the popping/crackling noise? I've been fighting with it since I bought my Inspiron 9200 and Audigy 2nx from Dell in March. I still have not been able to isolate the cause of the noise. If I watch a DVD without the 2nx connected, the sound is fine. I don't know if it is the USB or DVD player in the notebook or if it is a problem with the 2NX. If others are having popping noise problems, my guess would be the Audigy 2nx has problems. Any feedback is appreciated.

  • K8N Diamond Plus. Which PCI slot for Adaptec 39320

    Hi
    I understand the Orange slot is not sharing resources with the other PCI slots.
    Would this be best for my RAID card (its a 64bit RAID card going into a 32bit slot) or would it not work at all?
    thanks
    Charker 

    Charker,
    You will have to contact MSI Tech Support on that one, that question has crossed my mind to whether that is a full function PCI slot or not.  It is the only open PCI slot if you have a Graphics Card in the Secondary x16 slot.  If it is full function PCI slot, the only thing I know of that stop you using your 64-bit Controller in it are two Caps that may get in the way of the card over hang. 
    Burmo,
    You should know your subject before you make comments like that on the Forum.  Most all PCI 64-bit I/O cards will auto sense the slot type they are plugged into and adjust the interface to fit the slot capabilities.  Only problems using a 64-bit PCI card in a 32-bit PCI slot is you loss interface bandwidth and there maybe physical components mounted behind the 32-bit slot that will not allow the PCI 64-bit card to be inserted.
    Luckily I have communicated with Charker enough, that I do not think you statement would have steed him wrong, but someone with a low level of computer knowledge, you could have cost him/her a lot of money.  Those Controller cards he is talking about cost two or three times what the Diamond Plus motherboard costs.  Next time research you answers before you make it, if you not sure and if you do not know do not comment.

    When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings.  It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it. 

  • Best PCI slot for soundc

    Hi, I have Sound Blaster Audigy 4.
    I have 5 PCI slots and all of them are free. Does it matter, what slot I put the Audigy 4 in?
    Are there any performance differences between the PCI slots?

    If you do not have SATA HD's in use and/or RAID set up then you can disable those controllers and put your sound card into PCI slot 3.
    The other 2 options to put your card into are
    - slot 2 which is shared with your onboard NIC (disable NIC on Device Manager when you play 'heavy' games. You can also change the PCI latench for nic to 0 and increase PCI latency for sound card to 64 or 28 (link to DL PCI Latency tool can be found if you search this forum)
    - slot 4 which is shared with some 'unknown' controller/device/other action ?
    For the IRQ 5 question; you find explanation for this if you searcg for terms StandardPC and ACPI.

  • If my motherboard has no PCI slot for a graphics card, can I add a slot to it?

    I was traded under warrenty a Compaq Presario with a H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX (Apricot) motherboard.  It has onboard ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics and no PCI slot to upgrade.  Can I add a slot to it or am I stuck with it?

    Hi,
    Sorry to say, but you can't add a PCI Express x16 slot to the Motherboard.

  • Which PCIe slot for gphx card?

    Hey all:
    I have had a problem with my mac pro 2006 rebooting spontaneously. I thought it must be the graphics card and finally pulled the graphics card out and left the mac pro on for a while to see if it would reboot. It didn't. It was solid. No graphics card = no problems, so I assumed it was the graphics card.
    So, I decided to swap out my x1900 with a 4870. It's rebooting. I guess this has to do with power to the logic board or something. I have no idea, but I'm super frustrated since this thing isn't under warranty.
    I decided to put the graphics card (the new 4870) in the 2nd to bottom PCI slot, rather than the bottom slot. I got a message on startup from the PCI Expansion Slot Utility: http://twitpic.com/2k2jeh
    So, things seem to be stable (but I am not counting on it). Is my 4870 not running at full speed in the second slot? I'm not an expert in how the PCI slots are set up, and I'm trying to understand.
    I decided to swap

    I found this : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2838
    Slot two is 1x + 16x rather than "slot - one" which is just x16... so since slot two has that extra x1 I guess the 4870 cannot perform to its fullest, but pretty close?
    I have a suspicion that something in the PCIe slot 1 chain may be broken?... like the power or something? I'm going to lower my fan speed down from 1800 RPM and see if it blows up. It probably will.
    Anyone think I just need a new Power Supply, or maybe a new logic board?... how much do those things run? And if I call in on an unsupported system what sort of pricing is it for replacement parts like this? Bad?

  • Which pcie slot for 8 lane card?

    Hi,
    my Caldigit card (for HDPro) is 8 lane.
    Where do I put it? Slot 2 (pcie 2.0 - X16 lane) or slot 3 (pcie - X4 lane) ???
    always appreciate your support

    If it really needs 8 lane bandwidth, put it in slot 2. It should work in a 4 lane slot, though, since that is 1G Bytes per second each way, which is far more than any video requires. See the first paragraph after Figure 1 and the table just after Figure 2 of:

    You need to extract one of those files --> see ...

    Just select one of them (normally filename.rar.part) and mouse_right_click the file and select "Extract Files" or "Extract To folder-name\". --> unrars and combines all files on same series.

  • Firewire chain for external audio interface and hard drive

    I use Logic Studio 8 on a Macbook Pro with a Presonus Firebox, an external Lacie Firewire hard drive for audio recording, and another Lacie Firewire drive for backups.
    Is there a recommended chain order when chaining my Firewire devices together? I read somewhere on a ProTools forum that they recommend putting their Firewire audio interface Mbox2Pro at the end of the chain.
    So right now I have Macbook Pro -> Backup Drive -> Audio Drive -> Presonus Firebox. I once had it in a different order with the audio drive first, but I found it was reading more slowly from/to the audio drive when it was in that order. I have no idea technologically why this would be the case.

    I just found and joined this great forum. Following up on Ray's comments about his MacBook set-up, I have a similar MacBook 2ghz, 4mb ram, 9400 chipset, and am exploring getting into Logic Pro 8 and was wondering if my MacBook was underpowered, and whether I needed to step up right away to a MacBook Pro because of my lack of PCI slots for recording audio to an external eSATA drive.
    I was encouraged to hear that the USB 2.0 connection for Ray's external WD 7200 hard drive has worked and improved things and his audio isn't getting choked and he is not getting the clicks and other problems.
    I'm wondering if Ray or anyone else has any other tips on using a MacBook for Logic and for optimizing one's setup. And Ray, did you notice a point at which the clicks started? .. in terms of number of tracks? Or were they present from the outset? I'm wondering how many tracks you are running now on your system.
    I might mention that I don't have an audio interface yet but was impressed with what I've read about the Apogee Duet. Any comments on interfaces and the Duet?
    By the way, I'm just recording one instrument/one track at a time and perhaps occasionally two instruments at a time. And right now, my main purpose for getting into Logic is for editing and mixdown of pre-existing tracks that have already been created on a standalone hard-disc based DAW. If all goes well and if I like the whole Logic experience I'd expect to get a more powerful MacBook Pro or even a Mac Pro or whatever higher end iMac exists in the future.
    To summarize, all I'm intending to do initially with the MacBook is:
    1) transfer individual digital tracks from a standalone hard disc-based DAW into Logic for mixdown and mastering.
    2) Record a few extra new tracks one at a time - probably not using any instrument plug-ins but relying on external synth/sampler/guitar sound sources ..in each song (maybe 3-4 tracks at most), and
    3) apply standard effects like reverb and EQ and panning to the mix down and master songs, each song containing a of approx 25-40 tracks.
    My basic question is, can a MacBook 2Ghz with firewire 400, 4gb memory and USB2.0 to external hard drive handle this or is it underpowered? Thanks.

  • Best slot for raid card

    got a sata highpoint raid card coming
    any advise on best pci slot for raid
    im assuming 4 but what are you lot using

    i have proven this time and time again to a many a people.  i do not know why others have had this problem.  i have had the sb live, usb, and the nic steering the same irq.  not one single problem, audio hiccup (pops, cracks), nor problem with throughput.  this was in win98 and me.
    seriously, although i do agree in allocating in the order of priority. scsi, nics, soundcards, etc-thats my zen . if you get my point.  although i have seen good credible people i know that handle hardware correctly and they have had a minor problem with a p.o.s. periph, but they noted usually fixed with a new driver.  sound blasters work well, contrary what many have said, steering irq's with another periph-i have done it for years, literally.  this is also with systems i have built for my friends and family.
    agp1, pci1, pci2, pci3 unless there are integrated features for the motherboard always have their own interrupt lines.  obviously though if you are going to use agp1 you are not going to want to use pci1 if you dont want to steer the interrupt.  pci4, 5, 6 always have a duped interrupt line like agp1 and pci1.
    it really doesnt matter. specially with an os that will allow the usage of the apic.  if that was the case then there would be a lot of servers in this world that are more fu**ed up than you think.

  • PCI Option For iMac

    I own a professional recording studio. The studio and the software I use was purchased with a Mac in mind from the start. Unfortunately after spending far too much money on my mics, outboard gear, mixing console and the rest the bank was broke and a Mac capable of running the studio was not in the budget. I had always had a tower in mind because it always was dominant Mac and could be expanded. Also for one major reason, use PCI based plugins and my interface for recording needs a PCI slot to run as well. With the advances in Mac over the last couple years months the iMac could fit my needs far better than a tower, and with a 24" screen, it would be ideal for mixing. Are there PCI options out there for iMacs, such as something that would plug in via firewire or ethernet? Thought I's ask the experts.
    thanks

    I hate to disappoint you but iMacs are not designed for expansion. They do not have available PCI slots for third-party cards. For that you need a tower style Mac. You might consider something from the G4 or early G5 Power Mac tower lines such as the QuickSilver or Mirrored Drive Door G4s or one of the earlier G5 models that still have PCI slots. Later G5s have PCI-X slots. Because these are no longer in production they can be purchased used through eBay or some online retailers who vend used/refurbed older Macs.

  • I want buy Ipad Wi-Fi 3g in Canada Apple Store.Is it have micro-sim slot for using 3g abroad?

    I want buy Ipad Wi-Fi 3g in Canada Apple Store.Is it have micro-sim slot for using 3g abroad?In Ukraine being exact.

    Lets make it clear.
    The thing is i know that in the US Ipad 2 Wi-Fi+3G Verizon goes without any slot for micro-sim. So i won`t be able to use 3g abroad.
    In Canada store they don`t give no required carrier.Does it mean that Ipad 2 Wi-Fi+3G from there has a micro-sim slot and is ok for using 3g worldwide with local carrier?

  • Were are the PCI slots?.......

    hai
    Am new to national instrument products, i know that PXI stands for PCI eXtention and Instrumentation.
    We received a PXI-1052 chassis and i was wondering "were are the PCI slots in it". I found some kind of male pins at the end of the slots to place the SCXI module. are those PCI bus which are redesigned?
    am just curios
    thanks for any reply
    Arun

    Arun,
    You are indeed correct that PXI stands for PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation, as this name implies, PXI leverages PCI bus technology to take advantage of the high data rates and ease of use that the PCI bus offers.
    While PXI offers the same PCI bus technology that can be found in a standard desktop computer, the interface to the bus is different. While a standard desktop computer utilizes flat PCI slots for plug-in hardware, PXI offers a more rugged Euro Card interface. To see the differences between the two, you can follow the link below to see a picture showing the two interfaces:
    Interface Differences between PCI and PXI
    In the case of your PXI-1052 chassis which combines both PX
    I and SCXI slots in a single chassis, the smaller slots on the left-hand side (as you look at the chassis) will be the PXI slots. The SCXI slots are the slightly taller slots on the right-hand side of the chassis.
    I hope that helps to answer your question. If you are interested in learning more about PXI, you can do so by reading a tutorial here at ni.com or by visiting the PXI Systems Alliance website (both linked below).
