Because it was really annoynig to assemble it, it just wouldn't fit together. And there was an almost indetectable cover film on each piece, quite hard to remove.
We will be upgrading out primary SQL clusters to the latest update of SQL 2014 CTP2 in order to correct an issue with the plan cache clearing on replica servers in an Availability Group. This upgrade will happen tonight starting around 9pm EST (02:00 UTC). Both of our primary SQL clusters will be upgraded, meaning that all sites in the network should experience approximately a 5-10 second inte…
bought the $300 SteelSeries H Wireless kit. hardware is awesome. VERY skimpy on the docs. comes with enough cables that i could sell just the cables on Amazon for $50+. but the big BUT is mainly the fault of my cheapo mobo... it has S/PDIF Out, but it only supports PCM and DTS, and not Dolby Digital Surround
H Wireless receiver only supports Dolby so it won't let me select Optical Out
still getting a "digital" connection by plugging the receiver into USB (so it acts like a sound card) but the quality is nowhere near what TOSLINK would offer :<
i need some kind of software Dolby Digital Live encoder
or else i'mma bout to be in the market for a sound card
> Audio Signal from Any Input Can Be Obtained from SPDIF Digital Optical or Hi-Fi Stereo 3.5mm outputs @ Output A HDMI 1.3 Certified Support 1080P, 3D Video and Digital Surround Sound Setup SPDIF Output Supports Audio Up To Dolby Digital / DTS 5.1CH; It Does NOT Support PCM 5.1CH and Beyond
I'm actually wondering if USB 2.0 provides close enough to comparable sound to S/PDIF, because S/PDIF is quite old in terms of digital protocols... I mean, yes, it uses fiber optic (which is FUCKING FANTASTIC) but the resolution of the PCM only goes up to 24 bit, which I'm sure USB 2.0 can match
the main advantage of going with S/PDIF, apparently, is that some games will play native Dolby Surround encoded audio through the S/PDIF link, which means that you get excellent surround sound quality, and the exact bits that the game engine generated get pushed to your ears
@Bob well, my SteelSeries H Wireless receiver (the little box that receives whatever audio input and ships it over the air to the actual headphones) has USB, standard 3.5mm analog, and S/PDIF -- that's it
> The SPDIF output can support 5.1CH Dolby Digital 5.1CH and DTS 5.1CH audio.
And if you look at the image, that looks like a TOSLINK port on the output.
So, about $45 plus a video card you should already have.
Unless you want to go the sound card route.
But if it's all digital, a sound card wouldn't add anything to the quality - that's all on the receiver's side (and the audio source software). Isn't it?
generally the HDMI audio on high-end graphics cards these days is very good, but it's just not (directly!) compatible with the transceiver I have here
i can already hear a much higher dynamic range in the output with this headset (quality drivers, obviously) than i heard in my old one
the quality is leaps and bounds above any Bluetooth solution I've heard, without the stupid amount of over-bassification that they do to hide how awful Bluetooth codecs sound
the quality is comparable to a good wired headset, and it's wireless

before the revolution of commodity sound cards in PCs and laptops that could drive 16-bit PCM @ 44.1 KHz, which is "good enough for most people", Dolby -- just the name Dolby -- was really the only thing you'd look for when shopping audio equipment in the 80s
I remember we had a cassette player that had some kind of Dolby support
actually I read that even commodity hardware has incredibly good DACs; the limitations come up on the digital side
it's more expensive to do it right on the digital side (and to get all the goddamn proprietary licenses you need, too) than it is to build a good, cheap DAC
the DAC is a digital to analog converter -- if it is discarding or poorly processing the digitized data, or introduces latency, or "dithers" it (ugh), or doesn't accept more than 16-bit 44.1 KHz, then the digital side sucks... but if it accepts 96 KHz 24-bit audio and the analog output is crap, well then there's your culprit
@allquixotic: You might also have a clean analog signal coming out of your sound card, but then with the amplification needed to be usable, do undesirable stuff.
these days I find myself getting hit pretty hard and often with things like resampling artifacts, and digital limiting problems in original recordings, which are all on the digital side
btw, DirectSound's resampling is embarrassingly poor
WASAPI sounds so much better when listening to my music
yeah.... funny thing is, the path is completely digital from the source media all the way to the headset... things ONLY get analog inside the headset itself
Honestly, in your shoes, musicwise, I'd want to just pipe in line level output (as hard as it is to do on a PC!) and let the headphones handle all the amplification related stuff
original audio is usually mp3 or ogg (both music as well as game sound effects and soundtracks) which cuts a bit out of the quality right there; I'm not listening to source FLACs much
then there's some kind of compression to shoot the audio over the air, which is completely invisible to the user
all I know is that these headphones sound better than anything bluetooth is going to put out until they come out with Bluetooth 5.0 and make some actually good codec mandatory part of the standard
well I am not sure what kind of protocol they use between the transmitter and the headphones, but I know it's not bluetooth, although it's almost definitely on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz band
the only audio recording options they have are uncompressed PCM, and... MPEG-1 Layer 2. LAYER 2! as in, "MP2" -- the royalty-free inferior predecessor to MP3
My primary PC experiences a BSOD (bug check 124) roughly once a day and has been doing so for several months. These BSODs appear to be related to warnings 500 and 501 in the Windows event log. Both message types say "The Desktop Window Manager is experiencing heavy resource contention". 500 adds ...
@Bob: trying to convert my old phone into a music player. I have access to all my music over wifi, and in theory, data, but I'm pondering smarter ways to actually sync an appropriate amount of music into it.
I asked him why he chose DVORAK, and his answer was "when I first started using a keyboard, I bought a book that mentioned DVORAK as a good place to start if you had never learnt to type before. Naturally I thought it would become more common. This was 20 years ago."
actually, probably more than 20 years, I don't quite remember what he said.
