Author	Topic: Stupid Digital Audio Tricks
Tailslide Pilot	posted 09-07- 02:36 AM After the longest time of chickening out because I wasn't sure if it would work I ran the "digital out" on my SBLive card into the "digital in" on my home theatre receiver. I had to make up a special cable to take a mono type mini jack from the sound card and run it to the RCA style jack on the receiver. I loaded up winamp and fired up "The blue man group" track 1 and half expected something to burst into flame.. It never sounded so good !! The receiver picks it up as a PCM style digital audio source. The COOLEST thing about this is I now have the ability to do all kinds of enhancements on the sound through the DFX winamp plugin and the graphic EQ built in (I had long ago shelved my physical EQ because of the noise it introduces to digital audio sources). Also great about there is NO BACKGROUND HUM that the old analog audio cables would pick up running across the room. I love it! TS ------------------ Patch It! TS Aircombat IP: Logged

I hooked up my new computer thru my home theater system a couple of months ago and you are rite. Very low signal to noise ratio and endless music. I must have well over 600 mp3s and I enjoy loading them in the playlist and hitting shuffle. No Wav conversion or CD burning. Very nice! Btw, how did you splice that cord and get it to work in stereo? -=BAB=- Gunner [This message has been edited by Gunner (edited 09-07-2000).] IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 09-07- 07:03 PM The digital signal is stereo encoded over a single wire. I just wired a mono microphone connector to a single regular RCA cable to plug into the digital coax connector on the amp (its just a single RCA jack not all receivers have one though) TS IP: Logged
