I moved to an apartment with an older TV. There was a DVI-I to HDMI converter with the TV already so I just plugged the HDMI from my video card to that adapter. The question is what is the best way to transfer audio in my situation? It had a AUX to some light(maybe transmitter?) left in a drawer but I’m really not sure for what is it. There are Beolabs 6000 connected to the TV too.

Does DVI carry audio?  My monitor has 4 HDMI inputs and I am going from a device that only has DVI output will the audio follow on the DVI to HDMI adapter?

My speakers are plugged via optical output. Each time my screen wake up from sleep, pusleaudio automatically switch to HDMI audio where nothing is plugged.  How can I prevent that ?

I want an easier way to change my default sound device from my sound card to my usb headset.  Currently it takes a very precise right click, a left click, another right click, and two more left clicks.   Ideally i could just have it swap with a shortcut key. (it was a little easier in XP but not by much.)   A software solution is preferred, but I am open to suggestions that use hardware.   I am running Windows 7 currently.

, it says how to use the audio jack as in input. On my MacBook Pro 13" (mid 2012), It doesn't seem to have the option in settings. Is it not possible with these computers?

Is it possible to "upmix" (split) stereo output from games, winamp, youtube and so on through 5.1 speaker set? Movies from DVD or some games uses all 6 speakers, but most of today's usage does not.  I know foobar2000 can upmix stereo MP3 to all speakers, I'd like to process all stereo sound that way.  Is there any solution for Windows XP or 7?  EDIT: I'm talking about onboard 5.1 sound output AC97 nForce2 chipset in my case. Definitely low-end. EDIT2: No digital output, 3 analog mini-jacks there.

I have .  it works fine with my Macbook Pro. I also want to connect it to my Windows laptop via HDMI. I bought this , which converts the HDMI signal to DisplayPort. Everything plugs in just fine, but the display just does not turn on. I tried a variety of resolution settings.  Note: this display does not have a power button. It just turns on when I plug it into a Mac. There is no activity when I plug it into the DisplayPort converter.

I really don't want to pay a ridiculous price for a "name brand" HDMI cable if it doesn't really do anything for me. I'm just curious: now that most transmission is digital (packetized) is there such a thing as a "quality" cable?    I suspect that if the cable works at all, I'm safe saying I have a quality connection. I just want to double check. Some of these reviewers complain that generic cables "create noise, lack bandwidth, can't handle X, etc". I'm skeptical of these reviews.  If the logic for HDMI cables and quality can be applied to cables in general, please elaborate on that as well.

Here’s something that sucks:   Plug in external monitor to laptop (Mac OS X Leopard in my case). Arrange your windows to have the IDE on one screen and browser on another. (Etc etc.  Resize, rearrange, fuss, fuss, fuss.) Unplug monitor to run to a meeting, or whatever. Goto 1.   I’d like to replace step 2 with “computer remembers exactly how I had it and just puts it back that way”.  (I personally only need a solution for Mac but collecting solutions for other systems here might be useful to others.  I’m sure it’s a common problem.)

What are the pros and cons of each of these different display adapters and cables?  From what I can understand, HDMI offers the ability to send audio along the same cable as well as the ability to do progressive scan.  I've Googled but I can't seem to find any real answers. Why would someone care to run 1280x1024 over HDMI or DVI instead of VGA? What about component?  All I hear is one is digital and one is analog, but I can't find what that means from a feature/benefit stand point.

this is my first question and I am very much a beginner in electronics so I apologize if this is a too stupid question.  I have Atari punk console and another small homemade audiomaking circuit. These two have mono audio signals as outputs and I would like to combine these as one in the simplest possible way. I know next to nothing about audio processing but I believe that the strength of the two signals is roughly the same.  What would a neat solution be? It would be really nice if I could extend the solution later on to more than just two signals but thats not really important.  Any hints, references, guides, links or ideas would be highly appreciated.

In Windows 7 (64-bit, Ultimate) the default audio output is extremely high. This has been an issue for a while but I was able to get around it as my previous headphones took more power to drive so it actually worked in my benefit.  However, now I have a set of really sensitive headphones and they're being over-powered. So much so that if I put it down at around 5% of total output it's bearable.  Is there a way I can sort of limit the system's volume so that it's incapable of going extremely loud and then have the rest of it just behave as normal?  Things I've tried:   Uninstalling and re-installing the audio device and drivers. Limiting each application individually. Searching for third-party software (so far nothing looks promising).   The first has no effect. The second works find but I have to do it for every application individually (which can be a pain) and many of them reset their volume every time they're launched, which makes it almost useless. Some even reset the volume while I'm playing a game!  So does anyone have any suggestions on how to make my volume reasonable?  The device is, apparently, a Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 24). The computer is an 2010 iMac.

My monitor supports full-resolution display (2560x1440) only when connected to through either the DVI-D dual link port, or the DisplayPort.  My laptop, though, has neither of these two kinds of output. Instead, all it's got is a HDMI port (which is version 1.3, and I also read that the laptop's graphics chipset supports 2560x1440 at 60Hz).  So I'm wondering whether anyone has ever seen an HDMI-to-DVI dual link adapter, which will carry my ultra-highres signal to the monitor I just bought. So far I haven't seen any, and don't even know whether such an adapter (which I understand would have to be active, USB-powered and expensive (but I don't care)) exists.

I imported my video file and for some reason (even though the video is one frame smaller than the audio) the video and audio do not sync after being played back for a certain amount of time. If I were to click on the sequencer and place it at any point in time, the audio and video would start off in sync, but if I were to play it from that point the audio and video would gradually de-sync. Also, the video was recorded in OBS but it plays back well and in sync using VLC.  Here is information about the video file and more info about obs and the video file itself (it was just for testing purposes):   The easiest way of understanding what I mean would be to listen for the sound of the clicks during the video then pause and start it mid way. You will then hear the video and audio re-sync and start off from where it should have but then gradually de-sync.

I don't know how to tune speakers well, so I wanted to know if there is a program that will create a balanced sound output when connected to my 2.1 system for all sounds. Using Macbook Pro 2010 15 inch.

I've been looking around on the internet and I can't find anything in depth on how the cable/connection functions. I've only been able to find simple pin out descriptions.  If someone can link me or point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

Is there a way to either pipe the sound output of the computer to a file or record what the computer puts out? I know I could use a headphone to microphone cord, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution. Google doesn't give very good results.

At each reboot, PulseAudio sets a sink (in my case, "HDMI Audio Output") as the default.  So, at each reboot, I don't hear any sound, and need to reconfigure the default sink each time to "Analog Output".  How do I remove/disable a specific sink such as HDMI, or set a default sink that overrides the existing sink?
