| Post subject: | Hissing When Generating Stereo |
After much work, I finally got good audio at good levels running into a 50 Watt Continental Exciter. We are running a Dell Optiplex 360 PC running Stereo Tool as a plugin to StationPlaylist; the sound card is a Diamond with a CMedia chipset. It lights the pilot, but I can't seem to really hear separation, and there is a constant hiss when stereo generation is turned on. Any ideas? Thank You. |

Probably not 192kHz at output. Also check is MPX input on transmitter is really clean input. (disable all built in pre-emphasis clippers.. etc.) |

After reading several threads I have became convinced my sound card is the weak link. We are on very limited budget to get a dark station back on the air to save its broadcast license; I need a card that is PCI Bus that will work with our older Core2Duo computer, and is preferably under $100 as funds are limited if anyone may have any suggestions for a functional and inexpensive card that will perform well for stereo encoding and RDS. Thanks. |

Hard to find good card under 100$. New Juli@ is around 140$ and is really always good choice. |

BTDT. Had to run mono until some revenue came in to cover upgrades. Better option than surrendering a license. I think we bought an M-Audio Revolution off eBay for like $45 or so. Works great even the RDS works in composite mode. |

I ended up getting a loan of an old Optimod 8000; and have Stereo Tool running into it for preprocessing with good results. I ordered a Juli@ card, but it seems to be on eternal backorder. I might try to see if I can find one of the M-Audio cards. Thanks for the tip.

I had no luck finding ESI Juli@ in the US; ebay at the time had all international sellers... |

I use an ASUS Xonar DX Card. It worked fine for me after enabling ASIO |
