If you have a soundcard featuring a Mic-In and it has both battery and sound connections "hot" (increasingly common), then this adapter cable will give you out-of-phase, or badly phased stereo show with very nearly any XLR microphone. Screen Shot 2017-07-26 at 8.38.14 AM.png Hosa XLR Femal...

We haven't had problems with this in a while, but have you put punctuation marks in your filenames and have you tried to put leading zeros in the name? Only -dash- and _underscore_ are unconditionally acceptable. Some machines accept other marks, but those can go anywhere. Type the filename carefull...

(maybe you inverted one of them to create a wide stereo-effect). Nope. and there were some new cables involved Bingo. Doctors have what they call a "doorknob moment." That's when the patient has just passed a thorough examination and seems to be in perfect health, but on his way out—with ...

Where's DVDdoug? This is his world. Wikipedia has this to say. Not all that helpful because they don't say what the baseline format actually is. For digital audio, if an HDMI device has audio, it is required to implement the baseline format: stereo (uncompressed) PCM. Other formats are optional, wit...
