I'm after the cheapest way to decode a flac stream with following criteria; - Transport from UPnP (DNLA) NAS using either WiFi or Cat5 networking - Toslink digital out for using existing HiFi DAC. - Low power consuption (eg just few Watts - it's just a decoder anyway). There seems a real lack of Flac players that are cheap and HiFi separates integratable like current-day CD players. All solutions I've seen are either expensive boutique heavy...

...but 7.7 is quite recent and stable. Your (integrated) video card is : Intel? HD Graphics 605 (NUC7PJYH) Intel NUC7PJYH seems to be able to pilot Dual 4K display : " ...The NUC7PJYH kit also comes with dual Ultra HD 4K display support via two full-sized HDMI* ports, consumer infrared, and a TOSLINK audio jack, they?ve got everything they need to stream media, play, or finish that last-minute presentation. And with 3.2x better graphics,3 2 you can create robust entry-level digital signage at entry-level prices for your SMB customers." [ https://www.intel.it/content/www/it/it/products/docs...

Hello, I have an Intel NUC7PJYH running CentOS 6.8. This is a NUC with standard USB, 1GbE and 2*HDMI. Installation was no problem providing acpi=off. The problem is that by default the two displays are mirrored and I can?t seem to separate them. I can only see one HDMI port from CentOS. I need to see both HDMI ports discreetly. Can you please help. Regards, Mark Woolfson MW Consultancy Ltd

...PC soundcard to a 4.1 speaker system (im not and wouldn't want to), or will play back using PC connected to an AV receiver, but this will _only_ work if the AV receiver supports FLAC natively, and those receivers are way above my price class. Even then you could maybe not do passthrough using TOSLink (bandwidth not enough) but would need at least HDMI to transfer the mult.ch. flac? And then the question is if HDMI does passthrough? In my situation, then, it's best just storing the DVD-A disc as an iso on the computer and rip to 24/96 stereo flac to store in digital mucic collection. Can...

...ce are not used. I tried to match the Windows driver configuration, which only supports 16 bit output. I have a 24 bit USB headphone amplifier, which does not support it (S32_LE only). Trying direct playback on the PCH card jack did not help though. The headphone amplifier is connected via optical Toslink, so there is standard snd_hda_intel output used (snd_usb_audio is not involved). Passing the USB part through I get much clearer output, but still have popping sounds. Googling around, they seem to be quite common on Windows 10, although I had it working fine on two bare-metal machines. I have tri...

Hi, As I´ve understood things, the Ogg Vorbis format supports more that two channels (stereo). Is there any tools to encode x sourcefiles into one .ogg file? I am a musican and am thrilled with the ide of makeing music in surround (or in more than stereo). This leads to my next question: is there (developing) any decoders for multichannel oggs to, let us say, 4.1 or 5.1 surround? Wouldn´t it

Hi. I've been playing a bit with "use sound card as an entropy source" idea. This simple program does what I wanted: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/misc/sndrand.tbz The program is very simple, it should be run with two arguments: % sndtest /dev/dspW 1048576 > rand.data This command will generate 1MB of random data. With my sound card: pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)>
