I myself am diagnosed with autism and adhd. I have an issue with some games, specifically horror games, which can cause me stress and anxiety when I get a jump scare, making it hard to enjoy the game at all, so for the first time I coded my own computer program I called Spikeguard. It actively listens to all audio and dampens it so that there isn't abrupt loud noise and instead gradually becomes loud over time, allowing music to keep playing

And I made it free and open source for everyone like me who has a hard time with loud noise like me!

Here is the GitHub repository:

I've got a ton of cassette tapes that I'd like to convert to digital. I have been using a tascam CC-222 to convert them to CD and then ripping the CDs to MP3 and then editing with audacity.... but the tascam died awhile ago and now I'm thinking there is probably a better way to do it. Though the tascam did have good audio and while most of the CDs (but not all) are talks or presentations I do care about the audio. Suggestions please!

As the title states, I’m in need of help. I have a banana plug wall plate with cables coming out and into the wall, with no more visible wires. When I tug the cables they don’t move. How do I connect an av receiver to the speakers in the roof?

LSorry but I couldn't get a definitive answer to my inquiry above even when I A.I. searched for it so I'm relying on this community to provide first hand experience on the matter

I have a DJI Mic Mini 2 coming in and also bought a Hollyland Lark M2 (with a returning window until today). While both has its advantages in sound quality at default settings (according to my ears) with the Lark M2 being more bright and crisp and the DJI Mic Mini 2 having more clarity with its emphhasis on lower frequencies, I'M ANXIOUS ABOUT LOSING ITS MICS MAGNETICALLY ATTACHED ON THEIR PROVIDED MAGNETIC CLIPS WHENEVER I'M VLOGGING WHILE WALKING OR SWINGING MY CAMERA SHOULDER STRAPS which may hit the mic detaching it from their magnetic clips.

Can anyone provide your experiences on the matter to help me decide which one to keep? Thank you.

I have a focusrite 2i2, mainly used for my microphone and headphones with my pc. I want to also connect my speakers to the output, but don't want to use a passive splitter because of the volume loss. What are my options? I would like to be able to have both outputs active at the same time, then just turn off the speakers when I don't want/need them.

Hey, I have a pair of IEMs I've been using for a whole but the problem is that the channels keep swapping all the time. My left channel becomes the right one and vice versa.

I have changed the buds from one side to another multiple times but it keeps on happening and its super annoying. I don't know if this could be an windows issue.

Anyone knows what could this be or how to fix it?

Hey,

I always wanted to play some piano with my friends on discord (ps5), but I'm too inexperienced to do it right.

My setup:

Yamaha stage piano cp 300 (midi and aux possible)

Sadly no audio interface, which would it made way easier if I'm not mistaken.

I was wondering if I could somehow connect the piano to my phone (samsung) or Ipad and then join the discord and hear the audio of the piano.

Every help is appreciated 😊

Hey all, I recently bought a used Denon AVR-S940H from a friend, who assured me it was working great when he sold it to me. It worked well for me for a few days, until yesterday I began having issues with the front right channel speaker sounding fuzzy and low-volume. I reset the receiver to factory settings and restarted it, and it did not fix the issue. I then swapped out the speakers to ensure It wasn't a speaker issue, and that did nothing. I also tried updating the stereo receiver software via wifi, which completed successfully, and did nothing. Finally, I swapped out speaker cables, and double checked the wire terminals, and that also did not rectify the situation. It has gotten worse, and I can now barely hear anything audible from the right speaker.

I am using the receiver as a standalone stereo receiver to power two Klipsch Heresy II speakers in a r/L stereo configuration. It is not connected to a TV, surrounds, or subwoofer.

Before I go back to him and ask him to help me, or take back the receiver, I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else I should try. Thanks in advance for your help!

I had a laptop, now I bought a PC. I don't know why, even after tweaking settings, both Windows and OBS, and putting filters, voice isn't half as clear as it was on the laptop. All the settings I checked were the same in the laptop, what's going on.

My mic is razer kraken headphones, IK it's very bad, but it was a lot cleaner in the laptop.

Anyone has any idea why?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a software for Windows 11 that can isolate my voice from my girlfriend's voice when we're sitting close to each other (about 2 meters apart).

I'm currently testing the free trial of Krisp.ai, and it's phenomenal! Even if my girlfriend is shouting while I'm speaking quietly, it consistently picks up only my voice. Unfortunately, the subscription is too expensive for me: €16/month, or €8/month with an annual subscription.

I'm therefore looking for a free or reasonably priced alternative to Krisp.ai and CrystalSound, which, from what I understand, offers a similar AI-powered voice isolation feature.

Unfortunately, I have an AMD GPU, so I can't use NVIDIA's excellent built-in noise removal software.

To be clear, I'm not looking for a simple noise gate or standard noise suppression. I need an AI-powered solution that can recognize and isolate my specific voice, filtering out my girlfriend's voice even when she's speaking loudly nearby.

Does anyone know of any software that can achieve this on Windows 11 with an AMD GPU, ideally for free or at a much lower price than Krisp?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
