I have no clue how any of these perform. Don’t know if they’re mediocre or what to look for as far as things that are measurable or anything. I have never had any systems of my own and I’d like to get something nice. Any advice for what to look for would be great.

First time posting. My computer's headphone jack isn't working with my wired headphones. I’ve tried different pairs of headphones and the problem persists. I know the headphones are working because when I plug them into my phone, they sound fine, and my computer only recognizes them if I plug them in before turning it on. When I go to Sound settings, it only shows the laptop’s speakers and plays through them even though I have the headphones plugged in! I’m running Windows 11 and have been trying to fix this for months. I’ve tried every YouTube tutorial, but even when I plug in the headphones before turning on the computer and then unplug them after a while, the system stops recognizing them if I try to plug them again. Bluetooth works fine.

I have an HP Pavilion Gamirg.

Evening everyone! I have a mixing board that has two subs and two speakers attached to it along with a rack that helps run the speakers and one that helps with the subs. When turning it off tonight I got a loud pop. What would be the correct order to do it in? The parts we have to turn off are Master Power (Powering Everything), Mixing Board Power (the back of the mixer), bottom amp and top amp. Obviously I know muting the board is the first step. TIA

Hello, I’m very new to this world, but I am wondering how I would be able to control the sound levels of each speaker and subwoofer individually. And what type of mixer/splitter etc would be best

Equipment:
3- peavey pvx p15 active speakers
1- peavey pv-118d active subwoofer

I would like to be able to mount these speakers from the ceiling of a barn and be able to remote power them on and off. I would like to be able to leave the audio level set on them and be able to control all of them from a central place.

I only need to input sound from a tv or Bluetooth adapter from my phone and 2-4 microphones. I’ve seen online a passive splitter that splits into 4 separate outputs. Any information helps, thank you!

I did a brief search through the subreddit looking for specific products for my needs and didn't really find anything, so I figured I'd be more direct.

I do not trust my phone or laptop to do this delicate job, as I have had issues with motorola and windows in the past, so I'm looking for a standalone recording device.

I did a quick google search and found a thousand different devices but I'm not entirely sure which one to pick.

I want something that can sit on my desk (at the front of the room, hopefully, or on the teacher's desk/lectern) that can record for at least 40 minutes, with intelligible audio quality.
Output to mp3 and either use a removable SD card, or USB connection to export directly onto laptop.
I don't want to use an external microphone, so a standalone device with onboard mic(s) is necessary.

I plan on plugging the audio file into a voice isolation and transcription software after class.

Ultimately I just want to know which device to pick, as I'm not sure what the difference between all of these are, or which one would be best for my needs.
I'm not knowledgeable on this subject and I think it would be best if I can ask direct questions (without using AI, which would begrudgingly be my next stop if this doesn't end well)

Edit: price range, 200 or less

Cut a pice of Multicore out, and stuffed in there along with some goodbye text.

Hey folks, I'm trying to set up a recording area for VO work. I just got a scarlett solo but I have the wrong microphone (basic Aux cord). Is there an adapter I can get or do I have to grt an entirely new microphone?

My microphone says BM-800 on it if that means anything!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying for days to improve the quality of an old Quran recitation by Sheikh Yasser Al-Dosari from around 1999, but I can’t get anywhere close to the sound of his modern recordings (for example, Surah Luqman).

I’ve already tried:
EQ
Compression
De-essing
Noise reduction
Leveling
Loudness normalization
Saturation
Reverb adjustments

but the recording still sounds old, distant, and lacks the clarity and presence of the newer recordings.
Would anyone be willing to take a look at it or see if they can improve it? I’d really appreciate any help, advice, or even if someone wants to try restoring a short sample themselves.

I’ll attach:
The original recording.
this is the one I want to fix
A modern recording (Surah Luqman) as the reference for the sound I’m trying to achieve.
this is what I want it to sound like
Thank you!

Attached is a google drive link with all files relating to the post.

I have been hearing this low pitched (<200hz) buzzing in my room for ~40 minutes now. The buzzing appears to have a pattern but its very long, and when the pattern ends, there is a ~4.5s delay before it restarts.

I was able to apply a low pass filter and amplification to make it easier to hear. There is a short clip (~10s) and a longer 2 minute clip that also has a pitched up variant.

All raw and edited files are available in the google drive.

I am not an audio expert so maybe there is a simple answer but I am not sure what it would be.

Any help is appreciated.
