There were known bugs in recent nVidia drivers. Allegedly fixed in the 572.70 release. Does your mainboard have its own HDMI output from an iGPU? If so you might have the ability to specify the nVidia dGPU as the primary display device. Use the iGPU output as your "sound card."

I'm puzzled by people who can find the frequency of their tinnitus tone(s). I've used tone generators to try and identify my own but they're higher than I can hear. My high frequency perception rolls off around 7k. I kept adding gain and going higher but gave up after +20db or so. I don't...

Does anyone know if the M2 works with the Windows in-box USB audio Class 2 driver?

I have a similar set of requirements. The only realistic options I've found are the same two you've found -- either 5.1/7.1 analog to a multichannel amp or else HDMI to an A/V receiver. Presently I have the latter and I'm using EqAPO for bass management. Why? Windows lets me run the A/V...

Following up on some of my comments here... Found one: https://www.parts-express.com/HDMI-2.0-7.1-Channel-DAC-Audio-Extractor-D-Embedder-180-1104?quantity=1 No idea if it's crap. I'll pick one up sooner or later. Been running this for 2-3 weeks now and it's been OK. Occasionally I get a...

Who's paying my power bill? Someone above mentioned this causes them noticeable latency. For my normal Windows activity (non-gaming) it seems OK on my system and I'll try it for a while. One thing I don't like is how this forces me to push a 593kHz pixel clock down a long cable run (since...

It's painful how many don't get it. My PC's "sound card" is an HDMI output and I can attest it's every bit as bad as OP makes it out to be. Monitor sleep due to inactivity = audio stops playing. "Phantom" monitor in which to lose the pointing device cursor. Power AVR on/off inspires Windows to...

Perhaps 4-5 different models of USB "sound cards" with the CM6206 chip and 7.1 outputs (unbalanced) are floating around on Ali, eBay, Amazon, etc for $15-35. I'm guessing most are terrible but my fingers are crossed at least one is "good enough" which I define as not noticeably worsening the...

On several occasions I've fired up my PC, started playing music, and found EqAPO lacking a "binding" to the currently active active device in Windows. I have two GPU's (each with 3x DP and 1x HDMI) and motherboard video (one more HDMI). So I have a bucketload of audio ports. I've found the...

The two endeavors -- room measurement and playing with noise-cancellation techniques -- have nothing to do with each other. I don't know how you made that connection so I'll re-read what I wrote several more times. Perhaps I'll find my mistake.

Thanks for that.. Neat thread! Don't see anything compelling for my primary use case. That said, noise cancellation by flipping phase on a 2nd nearby mic is something I do want to play with. I had no idea it could be so easy to filter out room noise from an omni.

Just took delivery of a Motu M2. ECM8000 mic, cable, and stand arrive Wednesday. Is there any value in owning a 2nd mic? I don't recall seeing any mention of REW/MSO procedures involving two mics... Wondering if anyone's found a use case for it.

I need a cheap mic. I can't find a US source for that Primo electret capsule they're buying on the other side of the pond...

OP, do you have access to an extra speaker (of any kind) that's reasonably competent at 65Hz? If so, you could use that to experiment with sub placement without having to pick up your 18" monsters. It can be literally any kind of $20 particle-board Craigslist flotsam -- the laws of physics...

An update to my post from Sunday... I've had a breakthrough that I don't fully understand. Set mains to 19ms delay as my baseline. Then I advanced every sub by one full wavelength at 80Hz (12.5ms). From there I muted all but one sub and the mains. Playing an 80Hz sine wave I incrementally...

An update... LR4 (0.707 + 0.707) for low-pass is causing the least headache. For mains high-pass I've landed on BUT2 (1x 0.707). I've eliminated BUT5, LR6, and LR8. It's asymmetric and I don't care -- it works here. I've watched Advanced Multiple Subwoofer Control, tried to follow, but got...

OP, do you have a subwoofer? Or just two speakers at this point?

Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville; and this is square room subwoofer alignment! I'm going to either take up drinking or burn the house down and start over. I've been chipping at this for dozens of hours and I've learned heaps about delays and all-pass filters in EqAPO. This office room is 11'4" x...

Interesting... My primary sub is under my desk. Looking at REW's room sim, lifting it 2-3ft off the floor cleans-up a bunch of the "crap" happening north of 50Hz (shows up on the sim in addition to real life). Unfortunately it pushes a massive suck-out at 40Hz down to 30Hz without correcting...
