Hi all, still reasonably new to StereoTool.
I've noticed when I listen to an FM preset (doesn't seem to matter which one), direct from a soundcard into a stereo system it sounds bright and clear. However, when I use the same stereo system to listen on FM (even with the FM clipper on), it sounds much worse than the stream. "Heady" might be the word to describe the sound coming from the TX.
I should add that the sound from the stream comes from a different PC to what powers the FM TX.
The PC that feeds the stereo system has a sound blaster card installed, whereas the TX PC only uses the internal onboard card.
I suspect the biggest part of the problem will be the onboard card the TX is using? What other issues might be causing this?
Cheers,
Baldrick
fm audio goes up to 16.000hz while streaming can go up to 20.000 on lossless codecs. Besides that, yes a bad sound card can cause bad fm audio. Which sound card you are using?
Thanks for answering.
So, we're using the internal sound card that's integrated into the motherboard on the PC that feeds the TX. It's a RealTek card that delivers 192k/16k audio. I currently use ASIO4ALL installed as well.
I suspect it needs a fairly decent USB sound card to improve the sound. Or maybe a audio interface, but I wouldn't know how to hook one of those up.
Go for a behringer umc202hd 192khz.
The internal audio card that you have right now is a no go.
For the behringer you input audio from the front 2 xlr and you get the out from the back for the mpx (left channel)
It gets power from the usb
Don’t use asio4all it creates more problems.
