Hello, I'd like to discuss what is called "ground loop". Consider the following scenario and call the set "C1 + S + C2" as "the system" -- Ground loop. As far as I can understand, the "noise/hum" at power grid frequency (50-60Hz) is actually due to electromagnetic processes external to "the...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for audio streaming software over a network. I'm currently working on a WPF Application that requires open-source tools that are actively maintained and preferably offer enterprise support due to security concerns. At the moment, I'm using FFmpeg...

When you insert a MEDIA tag in a PF post, and it points to an audio file on Google Drive, it displays a rather large player. Is it possible to set the height & width?

I have a two-step question. All of this is getting to the question: what is wrong with my sound? When I am watching a show on Amazon Prime, the audio cuts out maybe every 20 minutes or so. It happens the same way every time. It cuts out for a half second, then it's fine for a second, then it...

Hi All Some may know I am an audiophile. A few years ago, with a lot of hype and no small measure of BS, a new format appeared, called MQA. It created a lot of controversy for various reasons like the need for a special decoder, watermarking of the audio, bit stacking, and a special light on...

I often watch instructional YouTube videos on my tablet with Bluetooth headphones. The delay/latency in the audio often isn't so noticeable, but when I see someone using a hammer, or sandpaper, the delay between the visual of the hammer hit or sandpaper swipe and the audible "bam" or "swoosh" is...

many years ago in 1952 the radar engineer and inventor John Edward Karlson together with Wayne Green invented and presented his audio speaker inspired by his studies on microwaves for antennas. it came out a speaker that bears his name (Karlson) very controversial in the reviews of those who...

Hi everyone . unfortunately for health reasons I have to give it a try and put a pair of audio speakers in my bedroom to reproduce white noise during sleep. I need to know if the audio speakers I already own are able to reproduce the range of frequencies I need, namely that of rain and sea waves...

Hello everyone !I am working on noise reduction and I wanted to do some experiments with an arduino. I took an arduino which get music (as an example) in input by jack. It also has a microphone and in a first try the goal is to get as an output the music - the noise around... To act like a kind...

Hi, I am trying to think how to make a DYI volume knob to control variable actions on my audio card. But I don’t want one with buttons to toggle the actions.. instead I want to make one with a touch sensitive lcd screen and make the scroll knob (a físicas one) around the screen bc I want to use...

Hi Everyone! I am facing issue of The Audio Service is not running in my system whenever I play any music or video. Anybody knows what is the issue behind it? My Window is updated but still I am facing this issue.

Audio recordings of radio traffic from famous incidents (e.g. 9/11, various shootings) are difficult to understand - at least those I find on YouTube are. Is there something about the way radio traffic is recorded that degrades it? Often the beginning of a sentence is cut off. Could this be a...

Got a vacuum to create bubbles in water, they advertised it as "boiling water" but it didn't seem like boiling in my book. If there were bubbles in water I am guessing there was a vacuum of 20% (20% atmosphere.) I am just estimating the 20% number. In any case, there didn't seem to be any...

Hello everybody . I would like to ask you for an opinion. audio waves passing through a horn or waveguide experience a small or relatively large distortion. do you think it is possible to eliminate distortion by making use of constructive interference?

Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspberry OS... Recently did apt-get update and upgrade. It did an upgrade of the desktop after asking for permission to replace the file piwiz.desktop. It then ran a wizard to redo various options and preferences, including WiFi and password (which I had set up initially on...

Suppose I decompose a discrete audio signal in a set of frequency components. Now, if I would add the harmonics I got, I would get the original discrete signal. My question is: if I would randomize the phases of the harmonics first, and then add them, I would get a different signal, but would it...

I opened up my lappie today to discover that it will not play any sound. Says there are no audio output devices installed. I went through various Google suggestions, including pointing it at my system drivers (Device Mgr > System Devices > Hi Def Audio > Update > Choose from my drive) and then...

Is there a way to broadcast emergency messages via cable radio? Its not really radio but audio going out from copper or fiber using existing landlines or CATV cables. No tuner needed, could just be a speaker. The system I am looking for does not need internet or mobile connections. I imagine it...

Hello everyone, I was thinking how to cancel the class B crossover distortion, may I suggest to discuss an interesting variant. Let's start from this: - there is crossover distortion (and no current protection). The signal source is "full voltage, zero current". Let's make it "full current...

Last night we watched a nature film narrated by David Attenborough. (who else?) It occurred to me that no nature film now or in the near future could be a success with any voice other than Mr. Attenborough's. It cries for deepfake Attenborough voices after his retirement or death. Would his...

I am working on a guitar/piano synthesizer for my own interest. When a string is plucked or struck, tension increases causing a slight pitch bend and change in the inharmonicity. This change then settles as the note quiets down. Thus it is important to model how the tension rises above baseline...

Suppose I have two audiofiles in 16 bit PCM, both recorded on a level that, except for the noise and distortion, is maximally recorded, or that the maximum recording level results in the maximum PCM level. So, the signal is recorded on the maximum level such that there is no clipping. If we...

Homework Statement: Two identical audio speakers, connected to the same amplifier, produce monochromatic sound waves with a frequency that can be varied between 300 and 600 Hz. The speed of the sound is 340 m/s. You find that, where you are standing, you hear minimum intensity sound a) Explain...

I just bought the audio and written books for Feynman's Lectures on Physics. Could someone tell me which chapter from the written books to refer to in each audio lesson?

So I understand that grounded shielding of audio equipment is necessary to block both EMI and RFI from audio equipment, but what I can't find information about is how, for example, radio frequency interference "RFI" at 150kHz, can interfere with audio equipment in such a way that you will hear...

Hello, I am using this little audio amplifier with my Maximite computer: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MQ44KLP/?tag=pfamazon01-20 I know that it's a best practice to use capacitors on the audio output from amplifier chips to filter out any extra DC current. I am under the impression that the...

I uploaded the paper from Belden cable company. It said the velocity slows down to 5EE6 m/sec from 1EE8 m/sec at RF speed. I don't remember I ever read this before, I thought velocity = 1/sqrt( μ/ε). Please give me a link on the reason if this is true. Thanks Alan

I was wondering if someone can help explain to me what is happening in the image. Black holes have Light paths or something so i read here more accurate description is that within this horizon, all lightlike paths (paths that light could take) and hence all paths in the forward light cones of...

Hi, I have an old system that outputs a stereo audio signal (using Left and Right RCA audio cables). However for some reason this system is also outputting a high-frequency noise on both channels regardless of its operation. At this point I think it would be simpler to build a simple audio...

I had an interesting thought tonight, but my Google-foo is failing me so far. I learned Spanish as a second language in high school, and have lost most of that skill over the years. I learned a fair bit of Japanese as an Army bratt stationed in Yokohama in the late 1960s with my family, but...
