Re: Is ASUS Xonar Essence STX Audacity compatible?

Yes, it is present. I noticed today that if I select the Line input on the ASUS mixer screen, any time I open Audacity it is deselected (now in Mic input mode) and the Mixer input is selected. If I manual reselect the Line input, the Audacity input meter goes dead and receives no input. If I restart...

Is ASUS Xonar Essence STX Audacity compatible?

The port is apparently being overloaded. If I drop the line level, the maximum level I can get is -50db or...

Re: Excessive noise with no input

I fixed all my problems. I got an ASUS essence STX sound card. My no input noise level is undetectable now and the full line input is fully controllable with the sliders. I eliminated the attenuators. The on board sound processor was adding a huge amount of noise.

Re: Excessive noise with no input

I run the turntable through the phono input on my reciever and use one of the line outputs to run to the computer. The noise seems to be generated by the internal sound processor. I am looking for a recommendation for a good sound card now. M Audio 192 is one, but it may be going obsolete.

Re: How to change MP3 bit rate

Sounds easy. Which rate is pretty close in quality to WAV?
