Run alsamixer
Unmute S/PDIF out and turn the volume to max
Ok, that sounds easy enough.

I'm switching between gnome and xmonad. Pulseaudio is just another layer in the whole audio stack and acts as a sound server. Many libraries can plug in to it: alsa, xine, gstreamer, ...
Here's a useful pulseaudio diagram: http://www.nepherte.be/wp-content/uploa … iagram.png
That's an interesting chart. 
Well I can't seem to get SPDIF passthrough working on smplayer.  I can watch videos with PCM through SPDIF just fine, but no DTS and AC3 being passed through. 
Anyone have any idea?  I have Gstreamer, not xine.

  • Which kerning option do you use in After Effects, and which should be the default?

    Which kerning option do you use, Metrics or Optical?
    Which do you think should be the default?
    How would you feel about us changing the default to Optical and creating a new preference where you can set the default?

    OK. Here's where we've ended up for now:
    One of our software engineers is working on fixing the bug that keeps the setting from being persistent. So, if you like Optical, you can set it that way once and it will be the default for new text layers created after that.
    We're not going to change the default right now. Our thinking is that fixing the bug makes it so that the people who want Optical only need to change it once, and we should continue to match Photoshop and Illustrator with their default. Also, Angie makes a good case that even if Optical is the right solution much of the time, having the default be Optical will cause people to miss out when a type designer has done the right thing and done the pairs correctly for the Metrics case.
    We'll revisit this decision if it turns out that our incremental step of just fixing the bug isn't enough to satisfy everyone.
    Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

  • Which server model do you use?

    Folks,
    Which server model do you use with Dreamweaver.  ASP, PHP_MySQL or ColdFusion?
    Is anyone still using ASP.Net or JSP with DW?
    In your opinion, which of the three server models is best supported by DW CS5 and which one needs most improvement?
    UltraSuite

    David,
    First of all let me say how impressed I am with your contribution to the Dreamweaver Community.  Your tutorials and other resources are most impressive and I am sure they are appreciated by a lot of Dreameaver users.
    What you have said about PHP is precisely what I have heard from people via private emails.  That is why I recently released a package of simple but frequently used PHP extensions.
    WebAssist seem to have done a great job and I am sure I'll be no competiiton for them or anybody else.  For me this is more like a hobby. That is why when I had the market for server-side extensions, all to myself, I still kept giving away a lot of free extensions.
    I remember in the early days a fellow Dreamweaver sent me an email saying that he had found the MagicSuite on a couple of Chinese servers.  I went to take a look and two servers traced to Shanghai mentioned more than 20,000 downloads each of the MagicSuite, which was free anyway.  This was just within days of a book that was published in Chinese in Taiwan and which (with my permission) had discussed each of my extensions with screenshots, etc.
    Sorry for going off on a tangent.  Thanks for your reasoned response.
    J.S.

    I don't like this approach too much actually.
    I prefer Adblock Plus for Firefox and Privoxy for everything else (uzbl).
    Edit: @Procyon: I didn't find privoxy to be slow nor complex. Could you elaborate what you mean?

  • Which audio format should I use on my memory stick?

    Hi. My car has a Clarion HDD Navigation System MAX575 which is compatible with audio CDs and has a memory stick slot. I can't play MP3 CDs. Which file format should i use if I want to load music onto the HDD using a memory stick? I don't want to remove the unit.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
    6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
    Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.

  • Which synths (hardware) do you use for electronica?

    I own practically all of the soft synths that are currently out there. However, I have yet to find convincing deep fat bass sounds and fear I may not be able to unless I buy some hardware. I've used Spectrasonics, Arturia, NI, GMedia, and the Albino, just so you know. I am looking at the Virus TI, Juno, Harmman, and Clavia. Please comment if you have used the above soft synths to get good analog-type fatness and offer advice on how to get these. Alternatively, please comment if you think that hardware is the only way to get such marvelous sounds.
    Best,
    SX

    This is just a personal opinion but...
    Having made electronic music since about 1976, during which time I've owned about every analog synth ever made--ARPs, Moogs, Rolands, Oberheims, Wasps, modular/mono/poly, and a slew of digital synths and samplers, I'd say there was NOT ONE that just magically produced the warm fat bass sound you're talking about. Sorry to disappoint! I think most of today's softsynths sound just as good if not better 'out of the box', and they're a lot more manageable than the beasts we had to deal with in those days.
    Whatever the source, the key to making any merely 'good' sound into a world-beating winner is (a) composition (b) context (c) EQ and dynamics.
    (a) You need a great musical arrangement to make the bass sound shine. A sexy bassline will compliment any sound, but it has to work in tandem with the overall musical composition.
    (b) The context is vital. If the part is competing with other frequencies, tonalities, harmonies, rhythms, chords or even lyrics, it won't sound good.
    (c) Finding the right EQ curve to make efficient use of the sound is not always easy. Many people think it's just about maximum low end. Not so! How many awful sounding club (or car) audio systems have you heard where the low end was massive. Many great basslines are actually very light in low end. Sometimes it's best for the bass to exist in its own deep dimension, underpinning the rest; other times it should hang tight just below the other instruments. Try exaggerating the character in the sound; then try downplaying it. Dynamics are often overlooked too. If there's no space for your bass to operate in, it'll never sound good. Close your eyes and listen to the 'shape' of the music--then tweak your ADSR, and also think about the overall compression/limiting of your mix.
    I believe a great bass sound has to have singularity. Effects like doubling, chorus, harmonizing, multiple VCOs, phasers/flangers/reverbs, distortion, are fine for higher register parts but they all tend to muddy up a low bass sound, and are often used a crutch when the other issues above don't get addressed. Synth makers are guilty of this, and many factory presets tend to pour on the FX instead of providing solid fundamentals. That's why I loved the Nord 3--without relying on any FX, the purity of the sounds was so great. On the other hand, the Virus TI has such incredible resonance it excites your ears into a frenzy. There's no magic formula--just good taste, experimentation, and imagination.

  • Which mail agent do you use?

    a while back we had "what http daemon" and "what ftp daemon" do-you-use posts...
    so I'm curious about mail agents... qmail? exim? the dreaded sendmail?

    Courier-MTA (as a whole set of programs) is most complete which means you don't have much work finding other elements for your mail server. They are already there and work together very well. The minus is the lack of practical documentation (comparing to other MTAs) and some kind of orthodoxy in implementation (some people think it's not practical).
    Exim is also a very good and well designed MTA with nice and easy to read docs.
    Postfix does not look so orderly but it's probably the most configurable. The docs are a bit spread over the web but the amount of guides and howtos is probably the highiest among all big 3 MTAs (check out some MTA mailing lists - it's probably most popular MTA so naturally most weird config has already been tried by someone).
    Most if not all of the typical tasks can be done using any of the above.
    If this is your first MTA and you want a simple setup and at the same time you don't want to spend time on searching and tweaking components of a mail server (POP, IMAP, webmail etc.) choose Courier-MTA. Courier-MTA is probably the least popular among the big 3 MTAs (but not because of its quality).
    If you need more from MTA and want good examples of working configs but your setup is not very complex and you are not the type of person who likes to write lots of scripts choose Exim.
    If you want some special configuration, tons of examples and docs and have time to dig in it and customize to your needs (in other words you want it as flexible as possible), choose postfix. Postfix is very often a choice of internet providers.
    The above is only my opionion based on my experience and is only an advise for fubar (so don't flame! I'm burnproof :-))

  • Which SATA drivers do you use for nForce3 chipset?

    Windows Generic or the ones that come with the nForce3 drivers?
    When using the nForce drivers, my hard drive operates louder and the light appears to be flickering a lot more (indicating more hdd access) when compared to the Windows XP drivers.
    Which do you use? What should I be using? I remember reading some threads that said nForce SATA drivers suck... but that was months ago.
    Thanks for any info

  • When you purchase another apple product, which set up do you use? New, back up from iCloud or iTunes?

    Which set up do I use when another apple product is purchased? New, back up from iCloud or iTunes?

    It depends on if it is a replacement for an older device.   If so, then set-up as new from backup. 
    If you are using both devices, they can be set up as separate devices, yet sync information through your iCloud account.

  • Which CPU Cooler did you use for your CPU?

    Hi guys, just wondering, what CPU Cooler did you use in your mega 865?
    Did you use the Intel or the MSI CPU cooler?
    Which do you think is better?
    I used the MSI CPU Cooler, Which I think is better cause it has a copper base which can transfer heat faster. Also the heatsink must have been designed for the case too.

    ^
    The Mega 865 came with an additional "extra page" on how to install the Intel CPU Heat Sink into the 865, so it could be that msi thought that intel's solution was better? The manual of course had how to install the msi heat sink, so rather than printing the manual again, they provided an extra information sheet.
