Doesnt seem to be doing Stereo very well?

Post by quantumradio »

I haven't yet got a proper aerial set up - I know that's bad. But am using a piece of wire, same length as supplied with the card, only with a proper connector on it.
Transmitting at 91.5

For some reason, although there is Stereo, it's really ... bad. Switch the Receiver to Mono, and the sound is perfect.
Transmitter and receiver are in the same room.

Is this just an aerial thing, or is there something - perhaps - wrong with the card?

really new to this side of things, so sorry if it's a stupid question.

Sorry - it seems to be the second sound card

I put in a SB Live card to run the Ultra through. It wont do stereo ???? Go figure.
Plugged everything back into the onboard audio, and viola! perfect stereo.

:lol:

... anyway - am building a SlimJim, so will solve a few problems with that.

Stereo requires a stronger signal than Mono. Hence a better antenna as well in low signal circumstances.
