Tweaks for Computer Audio

Here are some suggestions for improving your computer setup:

1. Music XP Optimisations Look at Tuning Tips, Hardware and Services

2. Creative Optimisations Enter 'SID6516' in search field

3. Remove (power and data cables of) your CD/DVD ROM drive if not used. I found this to be most offensive component ito of noise pollution

For item 2, I don't suggest ACPI change as this requires Windows reinstallation and see Music XP (item 1). BIOS stuff is easy todo and other suggestions are sensible like removing unused cards / devices.

If there are other tweaks, please post them.

Dear Moderator - is it possible to not expire this thread? This is a rapidly growing subject with lots to learn and do.

I take "slot-blanks" and drill two holes in them. Take two female RCA chassis sockets and fit into two holes.

Solder shielded cable to sockets and onto sound-card L & R outputs - usually on the underside of card near mini-jack socket.

This provides a sturdy interface between sound-card and amplifier.

Be careful, but do enjoy,
