Perhaps I'll keep trying each new driver release until I find one that works. Oh well, back to 8010 until I can find the answer.
THE REALTEK ALC1150 SOFTWARE
JBL LSR305 is a solid value in the 5" speaker category. And yet, it does not contain any Creative hardware, just a Realtek ALC1150 with the option to run additional Creative audio processing software (bundled with the motherboard but never installed since I don't need it). I like the sound of the ribbon tweeter over the dome in the JBL, but that is just me liking a more flat, accurate sound. Very little difference between the two sets of speakers, except for maybe the tweeter. I'd probably put the JBL LSR305 in the same company as my Airmotiv 5. There are cheaper external DACs from AudioEngine, Schiit, Dayton, Parasound, Teac that might be better for a simple setup.ĮDIT. The DC-1 is a full-featured DAC with excellent headphone amps and analog audio input. I use XLR because I'm using the RCA out on the DC-1 to feed audio to the SVS SB-2000 sub. RCA doesn't matter if the cable length isn't long. Airmotiv are a little more forgiving as far as MP3 goes, and I have no problem getting good sound straight from the analog out to the speakers. I also have a pair of Emotiva Airmotiv 5 I use when I leave the house with my tablet-based system. like hi-fi digital audio or Dolby/DTS sound tracks. Absolutely outstanding sound, when fed the best quality files. The 3b are meant to compete with Creative, Logitech, and Klipsch PC, not JBL, KRK, Adam, or Genelec.Īs an owner of Emotiva Stealth 6 speakers and the DC-1 DAC, I can vouch for garbage-in, garbage-out. Not sure whether the DSP in the 3b can be considered a true DAC.

lol)Įmotiva specifically designed the 3b to grab some of those that would typically buy speakers for PC audio, not professional audio, but included some of the things typically found in more expensive speakers, like MDF cabinets and signal processing. (For anyone wondering, I intend to connect directly to the motherboard without a DAC.) (I still have to decide when I'm going to spend the money though. Anyone is welcomed to contribute ideas if you want. My speakers are connected via the SPDIF port, but there is a problem. Viewed 815 times 0 I have a Skylake system (ASRock Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac) with (x)Ubuntu 16.04. Does the Realtek software allow to adjust for speaker. The motherboard comes with Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 and not the Sound Blaster Cinema 2 which allows you to control each speaker distance.

The strong points to me for the 3b is the (1) small size, (2) the grills on the drivers, (3) the MDF enclosure (rather than plastic), (4) the fact it's 30 watts x 2 (just enough power, not too much), (5) the volume control on top instead of behind and (6) may not ruin a bad recording like the Equator Audio D5 (as awkwardly as that sounds, I'm still hoping they're clear enough). How to fix wrong audio profile (on Skylake/Realtek ALC1150) Ask Question Asked 5 years, 4 months ago. Im looking at the Gigabyte Gaming 7 motherboard with the Realtek ALC1150. So, since I read the Emotiva Airmotiv 4s sound better than the Audioengine a2, I'm assuming the Emotiva Airmotiv 3b might be at least as good as the Audioengine a2. He commented that the Equator Audio D5 are so clear they'll reveal bad recordings and that the Audioengine a2 would be more suitable (for compressed music etc.). Then I read a comment from Steve Guttenberg on CNET that made me look at this in another way. I guess my original idea was like: "How can I get the ultimate audio for the cheapest price?".
