Ijust started to clean out my old VCD collection and wanted to rip them to my hard drive. The problem is that its all Chinese VCD cartoons which has dual audio tracks. A mandarin and cantonese track. I tried looking around for a VCD ripper that can rip these .DAT files and isolate only 1 audio stream. I tried the program Handbrake and VCDGear, but they rip the entire video track with both languages heard at once. I want to be able to just rip 1 audio stream so my kids can easily click on the file and watch them without having to fiddle with the left and right audio selections.

I've found that "wireless" headphones tend to have base units with different audio-input connectors while BT headphones only support a BT connection to the audio source. So with wireless units you can use a cheap HDMI audio splitter for RCA/Phono or 3.5mm Jack input to the headphones, and there's no dependency on having multi-audio output on the source, which is rarely supported. In LE you might be able to make multiple audio outputts work via Pulse audio (not the default alsa arrangement) but it's not a standard configuration so there's no HOWTO guide we can point you to.


Amazon searching "wireless headphones for tv watching" threw up some options for me. These were the simplest/cheapest ones (no idea what they are like, but you can see they have lots of connectivity options). If the TV itself supports multi-audio out you can connect them direct. If not you might need some kind of HDMI splitter to get an RCA output or similar.


NB: Pulse audio almost certainly can output to multiple devices at the same time with the right config (which you'd have to Google). The tertiary challenge with multiple outputs is often "audio sync" as processing times for the BT audio path vs. the HDMI path may end up being a little different.

pacmd complains that there is PulseAudio no daemon running and as soon i reboot LibreELEC all changes i did with pactl were gone. no idea where to put all the profile, config and script files to LibreELEC to keep the config persistent and/or get executed automatically.

without rebooting i never saw any new audio devices (sinks) in Kodi i could select.


I spent some time to get working the dual audio output (DAC & HDMI) with PulseAudio on my RPi3, was unstable and the quality wasn't the best. Because I don't need really simultaneous audio (DAC for net radio & hdmi for TV and movies), I'm using now the "Audio Profiles" add-on and is the perfect solution for me.


If you need real simultaneous audio, use the solution proposed by chewitt, if your TV have any usable audio output, use it as audio source for headphone, if not use hdmi-audio splitter.


Our current setup is to connect the source devices to the TV via HDMI, then run a digital audio cable from the TV to the digital audio input of a Sony HW700DS headphone transmitter. This transmitter has a digital audio loopthrough capability so I route the audio out from it to a soundbar.


The headphone transmitter actually has three HDMI inputs and one output so it is intended to be used as a source selector but a) you have to actually walk up to it and press one of three buttons, b) it's HDMI 1.4a so no HDR and c) I'd need something to split out the audio for the headphones.


Never tried with Bluetooth speaker. Once had a working config with simultaneous sound on TV and Speakers (from audio jack), was a delay between outputs and created a strange (annoying) echo... maybe can be resolved that too, but I never had a stable and good sound quality config for simultaneous audio.


The longer idea was to create a suround sound system with bluetooth speaker for TV, and use stereo for music and distribute the speakers in several rooms (kitchen, garden, bath). But now I would be glad If I only get the speakers simultanous autput.


I'm looking for somebody who might have some experience or can help me with some rather easy questions.

I'm going to get me a pair of microports and the decision is differently between Wisycom's or AL.




What is currently stopping me from getting the A10 is range. Is there are way i can connect better antennens at the receiver but still for functioning well in a sound bag.



OR is the range problem in A10 just something on the internet and how are they in real life situation? Fields/apartments/multi-router-wifi-places?


I was just at wisycoms the other day. I had a demo audio limited A10 and was comparing it to a wisycoms. Both units were laying on a bench next to each other. Did a walk test with both got about 600 feet on both before dropping out. Inside a building on metal and concrete and the units were inside walking outside. Distance on the A10 did not seemed to be a problem. Both wisycoms guys and I had a real hard time telling the difference between the two. They sound very much the same.


Yes, a dual(or more) Bluetooth audio output support is a definitely needed. It will be amazing to share audio with friends without being noisy for the surroundings, just like old times when 3.5mm splitters were available.


Dual audio was one of my favorite features on Samsung Galaxy devices. Nice to be able to share a podcast or movie audio with my girlfriend on flights/trains. Is it possible to roll this out via SW update? Or does it require additional Bluetooth antennas in the device?


Nothing should see through the matter that every little detail makes a Phone stand apart from others. Whole time I was thinking that my Phone (1) has Dual Bluetooth Audio support but after getting here I am now kind of embarrassed.


The problem is after about 13mins of use they start to crackle once in a minute or so. The first 13mins are no problems at all. If i restart my phone, it will work again for 13mins, if i turn off bluetooth and back on its fine for another 13mins. But right after this time they start to crackle again. No matter if i use one at a time or both together, always the same. I did a hard reset on my buds and phone, still no fix. I tried to change the audio codec to AAC, no fix. So im out of ideas whats wrong. The newest firmware is on my buds. I have no problem using my Note 9 with my car oder my Harman Kardon Go Play, no crackle, no dropouts ever, even after 10h straight. So its safe to assume my phone is not the problem, whats wrong with the Buds? I dont think they are broken, is seems like a software/firmware issue.


I too have the Note 9. It's running Android 9 and my Galaxy Buds are up to date. I didn't experience any crackling with the right earbud, which is the one I tend to use while at work. I recently tried both on and noticed some crackling, which I found was coming only from the left earbud. I connected them to my iPad and the same song was clear, so I thought it had to do with the Galaxy Wearable app on the Note 9. I reset it and that didn't help. I then disabled the Dolby Atmos effect on the Advanced Sound Settings menu and that didn't help either. My next step was the Bluetooth settings. I clicked on Advanced under Bluetooth and disabled Dual Audio and Ringtone sync....problem solved! I enabled Ringtone sync again and it was still fine I enabled Dual Audio and the crackling came back. I disabled it again and it went away again.


I have my Gear S3 and Galaxy Buds connected to my phone at the same time so not sure if that's why Dual Audio causes the problem, but either way I don't use dual audio for Bluetooth so I'm fine with it off.


Thank you so much! I was so worried that the galaxy buds plus were bad but after I did these steps they worked perfectly!! I use my galaxy s8 plus, galaxy watch 46mm and my galaxy buds plus and the buds worked perfectly on each one! Again, thank you so much.


In a gist, the external USB sound card fires up to 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM playback at 130 dB DNR, and features dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs, our custom-designed, fully balanced Xamp headphone bi-amplifier, and customizable DSP EQ functions.


Featuring not one, but two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs on the Sound Blaster X5, be ready for exceptionally high-resolution lossless playback in 32-bit / 384 kHz over PCM with ultra-high dynamic range of up to 130 dB DNR. These DACs are also capable of decoding audio formats in DoP128 and DSD256 to deliver high-fidelity audio streaming and acoustic details you cannot miss.


To enhance the Sound Blaster X5 for smoother operability, the dual microcontroller unit (MCU) design also serves to minimize inter-dependency between major components, reducing the risk of a single point of failure. This allows for improved efficiency with quicker response time between user interaction and device control, and boosts overall product performance.
