    Cannot get audio in through line in, but can using Mic

    Not really. I'm more of a percussion programmer. I may have misdiagnosed your issue here, and without knowing the device might be of little help at this point ;) In reviewing the knowledge base article on their website, you should be set to go as you are... 2 mono outputs (POD) plugged into...

    Cannot get audio in through line in, but can using Mic

    So you can play the guitar through the POD and out to the headphones fine?

    Cannot get audio in through line in, but can using Mic

    The issue here is that the analog (non line level) signals from your guitar pickups are too weak for the POD to manipulate and kick back out to your sound card. When they are amplified first, the POD will be able to have plenty of signal to pass on to your recording input. In short - yes, you...

    Cannot get audio in through line in, but can using Mic

    Oh snap I can't believe I looked over that part of your post. The POD specs list 1/4 "to amp" outputs. Reading up on their site - it mentions that you must switch the A.I.R. setting to DIRECT when plugging straight to recording equipment. Have you done that as well? Edit - Sorry...

    Cannot get audio in through line in, but can using Mic

    Line in means that the audio source is assumed to be at LINE level. Your guitar and a microphone outputs analog signals below line level. This is why mic works, but it's likely very quiet. To get line in recording, you will need an interface to amplify your guitar. Check zzsounds.com...

    what's the multi-monitor utility software that everyone uses?

    There is some really cool software the programmers at my office use called synergy. It's really for sharing one mouse/keyboard with 2 machines on a network. Probably doesn't apply to your situation but it's tangentially related ;) http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

    Interesting monitor question

    Face it, you're reading PDF on a laptop that's meant to be portable. If you want to get a laptop with a large screen, you'll have to carry it's suitcase sized body around too. I would zoom to the appropriate reading size and scroll down. This works well. One of the reasons you may...

    new system build

    If you have $2k to burn why not wait a couple months and see how the i5 and such plays out? You would greatly benefit putting your purchase off for a month, and spending the next couple weeks reading about the current offerings and what's coming up. Intel i5 will be released soon, Phenom...

    Computer won't display when starting Windows

    So the aftermarket GPU and the integrated GPU both fail to get you to desktop? Can you still hear windows sounds after blanking out such as clicking the mouse, or has the machine crashed and frozen? You get freezes that popped up one day, then they continue and seem intermittent and...

    PSU fan seems lazy

    Hello PSU forum. Firing up my computer this morning, there arose a roar. It sounded like a fan with bad bearings. I stopped each operating fan with my finger until I could determine it was my PSU. I tapped the PSU a couple times and the fan stopped it's noise entirely. However...

    AMD 5000+ BE woes - old problem no solution

    My ambient room temp is somewhere around 21c (no thermometer to check exactly) My core is 1.325 set manually in BIOS, 1.328 in CPU-Z (fluctuates by.005 or so) This was lowered from my auto settings of 1.36 in BIOS

    slight career guidance required.

    The most important thing is deciding what you like to do most, and pursuing that. Also, consider where you want to live, and the environment you want to work in. Check out job statistics online and read up on working conditions and typical responsibilities. Programming might sound cool...

    AMD 5000+ BE woes - old problem no solution

    AMD 5000+ BE woes - old problem no solution

    I hadn't thought to check the level of the HS base. I'm going to disassemble it and verify that it is flush, and then check out my temps again. I guess if I can get it ~3ghz and ~60c I'll call it fair and that will be the ceiling until I upgrade. I am beginning to feel confirmed that...

    AMD 5000+ BE woes - old problem no solution

    See, that's my point. I bought the chip because it is a small process, supposed to run COOL. The entire point of this chip's release was that it is unlocked and is intended to overclock very well. If it sounds hot, and a bad overclocker, I've got an issue. Thats my problem.

    AMD 5000+ BE woes - old problem no solution

    Because many other people obtain much cooler temperatures, and the max operating temp for the X2 5000+ is 55-70c. When playing Bioshock without the side of my case removed, the CPU would eventually get hot enough to cause a loss in game performance. From what I understand, you should be...

    AMD 5000+ BE woes - old problem no solution

    I'm using an Arctic Freezer Pro 64 Heatsink, topping at 60c. The stock heatsink I used before caused the CPU to crash out above 70c on load. The confusion comes from a plethora of people using the same cooler, or other comparable coolers and running a good 10-15c cooler than my chip on...

    AMD 5000+ BE woes - old problem no solution

    I'm trying to determine if I need a new MOBO or a new CPU. My X2 5000+ Black edition runs 35c idle and 60c load (max). This is after a new HSF, multiple reseatings, cleanings, maximizing of airflow, removal of case sides, etc. (I have posted this issue before with no solution) My HSF...

    Best mobo for 5000+ Black cpu?

    I know this is way late, but for what it's worth I'm having issues with the 5000+ and Tforce 550 setup. Idling about 38-40c and load 58c-60c with stock HSF. If I stress test it - shoots over 70c and auto-shutdown. Aftermarket HSF idle 32-35c and load 58c. I know the 5000+ is supposed...

    You can go into control panel -> administrative tools -> computer management -> Disk management Right click your drive and then click "CHANGE DRIVE LETTER" If it doesn't show up in disk management, windows is not recognizing the drive and you have some trouble shooting to do first.

    Need help with high CPU Temps

    First of all, if someone isntalled a new MoBo and took the heatsink off, and placed it on the new board without removing the thermal compound, I'd be concerned about that. If the compound isn't making a flush contact with the CPU and the Heatsink, you're going to get poor performance from...

    Computer Reboots

    Does an OLDER bios support the phenom? I'm guessing the answer there is NO. I don't think you can return the mobo for that reason either. Maybe you should just put it on Ebay and recoup your losses? Sorry to hear that.

    Computer Reboots

    82c is way way way too hot. What is that sensor? I have a sensor on my Biostar mobo that reads 270f constantly in everest, so it might just be a bug. First thoughts, bad CDD or HDD. You changed those, so those are likely out. My recent build did the same thing yours is - rebooting on...

    Lossy formats make sense for some people. I personally use FLAC, but the average person can't tell the difference between an MP3 or lossless formats. And if they use mp3 over FLAC they get 150 songs on that mix CD instead of 25. Agreed though, to archive music as MP3 is like paying extra...

    Remote Software Who's Good?

    Another vote for LogMeIn. GotoMyPc should provide functionality too - although I doubt you can reboot the machine into safe mode. I'm puzzled as to how any remote access program can do that.

    Question on reqs for Audio Production Box

    Laptops have slow components, esp hard drives. 4GB of ram is cheap, and a dual core processor should be enough. But unless you plan on buying a nice audio interface for the computer, you could easily stick to budget and get a quad core processor. Unless you're doing resampling, fx...

    Best way to set up notebook for free wireless while travelling

    another build critique please

    I can give you advice on the GPU, since I was in the same boat. The 8800gts is just a tad faster than the 8800gt. From the conversations I've had, it's good for a handful more frames per second. After reading, I boiled it down to the GTS squeezing a little bit of performance over the...
