| Post subject: | Which sound card? |
Hello to all.After testing your great software just a little I realize that my on board sound card is a little old...Because I would like to try the Stereo and RDS functions(later) I think I have to start from a good card.Well here it is: http://www.thomann.de/gr/search.html?xs ... hk54767=on They are identical except the cheaper one has better converter, right?Well what do you think? Thank you! |

Oh OK then...It looked strange to me because I've read that sound card should be 192Khz Thank you. P.S You are using that card right?If I don't use stereo option (I have a hardware coder, it's a DIY pcb but works pretty well,at least it sounds qood),do you think it will improve sound over an intergrated sound card?Is it worth buying? |

Yes we use Juli@ on our local transmitter. Before that we use Realtek Onboard Souncard (ALC889 chip). First you must tell me what soundcard onboard You have, but anyway Juli@ is always better then any onboard souncard. Second, i don't know how your hardware coder works .. but i am sure when you put Juli@ and StereoTool's MPX output i think you'll be surprised by audio quality. In that configuration you have RDS and Clipper too. |

My sound card is a Realtec AC97 onboard card.I think it is a standard card with limited capabilities,right? |

Yes, it's only 48kHz I/O. Realtek Soundcard with 192kHz output is marked "HD" |

Ok thank you.Now that I've found you, please tell me another thing: Will every card marked HD work?I mean not now but in the future if I decide to add Stereo and RDS?Thank you very much. |

As far as i know.. Realtek habe HD Audio onboard cards and Analog Devices known as SoundMAX HD audio. Basicly mean they are 192kHz output, and that is needed for MPX output. |

In addition, there ARE 192 kHz sound cards that don't work. Anything from Creative (SoundBlaster / X-Fi) really doesn't work. But as far as I know (which is only what is reported in this forum, so it's not really a lot) others should work. Hint: Check some hi-fi lovers forums. Usually, if they really love a card, it's very good (check the Juli@ in those forums and you'll see what I mean). |
