RE: MD: SB Live value and Hoontech addaptor.

[Brian Blater]

Craig,

I notice there wasn't any responses to your question and thought I would
jump in. I'm not an expert but up until a week ago was using the SB Live
and the hoontech DB. I had your same problem and others. At first the SB
would
pick up noise from the VIA pci bus, solved that by changing bios settings.
Then I couldn't get a red light, solved that by reinstalling everything.
Then,
just like you, got very little to no volume when recording to my 702. I
increased
the wav/mp3 out on the mixer to 100% and that made only a little difference.

I spent two days on the phone with SB support and couldn't get anything
better
than reinstall everything, no optical out support on the SB Live Value etc.
I
looked in the SB news groups and didn't get much help there and saw a lot of
other people having a lot of problems with there SB cards also. I continued
to mess with it for a little while longer with no success and finally
returned
the card. I have ordered the Hoontech Digital-XG card with the DB for
digital
in/out and will get that installed today and see how that works.

The only suggestion I have right now is to try increasing the wav/mp3 out on
the mixer and that might give you a little more volume. Otherwise your
problem
is very common with the SB Live card. I've talked with some people that have
had
no problems what so ever, then others that can't get the card to work at
all.
The only thing I can think of is that it works better with certain types of
hardware
than with others. Maybe that was my problem.

Anyways, IMHO you can find better cards with better support and for less
money than
the SB Live. A lot of people have had good luck with the Xitel Storm
Platinum also.

Good Luck
Brian

 I have a SB Live value sound card and just got a hoontech
 addaptor board. I
 see a red light from the optical out and my MD recorder says
 digital in. but
 when I try to record it doesn't do anything (like auto-seance the audio
 playing) there is no volume control for the digital out in
 software only in.
 Am I missing something?
 Thanks,

RE: MD: optical recording with portable cd's

[Brian Blater]

Steve,

Just bought a SONY D-E561 portable CD player that has an optical out. Works
great, is a slim design. Very portable. I got it at Target and I've seen
them at Walmart. Both places had them for about $100.

Just finished recording a bunch of stuff from CD to my Sharp 702 and it
worked great.

Brian

 cd players for recording digitally? i keep trying with a
 discman through its lineout with a optical mini-mini
 and im gettin a no signal. any ideas?

MD: TOC question

[Brian Blater]

Hi everyone,

Recently rejoined the list after being a way for a while and now I have a
question. I have a SONY 510 and a recently acquired Sharp 702. The other day
I was going to record to my 702 and put a MD in that has some stuff that was
recorded with the 510. When I pressed the record but it gave me a UTOC
ERROR. I don't believe this is the UTOC problems that were experienced on
the older 702s (mine is new one with the 'mz' in the model number.)

So, is there a problem when trying to record to an MD that was created with
a different version of ATRAC? What could be the problem here? I don't want
to have remember which disc was created on which machine when trying to edit
or record.

Thanks for your help.
Brian
