not really. there is sorta some help for using that 7.1 usb external soundcard on a Mac (dr-lex.be) but it only works (kinda) up to Sierra. Creative makes something that sorta works with the Mac, but I've never used one with my Mac, so can't say 100% for sure if it does or not; or even how well it does. Your best bet, apart from looking at Creative, which is iffy, would be to get a USB to S/PDIF or coax adapter and use that for surround sound, at least digital surround sound. You'd also need a USB-C to USB B cable to connect to your iMac Pro 2017, and the S/PDIF cable to connect to your Z906 speakers. After you buy the adapter and cable(s) , and hook it all up, under system preferences/sound, you'd need to specify USB audio output. then give it a try. I have the same speakers as you do (love 'em) and the digital input would be 2 on the control box. You'd also have to make sure that the button on the control box is set to 4.1 or so. Please note that the only way to get surround sound from any mac is either via HDMI or digital audio, and only with certain movies that have been surround encoded. VLC (videolan client) and AppleDVD do support surround sound, as does iTunes (on occasion) but you'll have to assume that unless it says it, it'll be in stereo, period.
Usb Soundcard For Mac
Brilliant with Soundflower, it works perfectly. For the beginner, follow the following steps if you want your volume keys to control your volume in OSX while your are using an external soundcard (USB, Firewire...):- Install Soundflower > Look for the website Cycling74.com- Open Preferences in OSX- In output, select Soundflower 2ch or 16ch (it means that your signal from iTunes or more generally from your OSX applications will go to the virtual inputs of Soundflower- Open Soundflower > A flower will appear on the top right corner of OSX- Select your soundcard in Soundflower 2ch (just below, your soundcard should appear)- Make sure the outputs in Soundflower are rooted correctly
Download Soundflower, a virtual audio bus for routing audio inside OSX. Set your system's sound output to Soundflower's 2-channel bus. The OSX volume controls work on this bus. You can then send this bus to your external soundcard using the menuling. In my case, I also turned down the individual channel levels for the Soundflower bus so I get a volume range a bit friendlier to sitting right in front of the monitors (via Audio MIDI Setup).
Xone:23C features 2+2 stereo channels with dual levels for phono and line inputs, allowing four music sources to be connected at the same time, including turntables and CD/media players. Additionally, the internal soundcard enables replay and recording from DJ software, offering users all the benefits of digital DJing whilst using hands-on mixer controls.
The GSX 300 external soundcard was made to provide a good loudness for headsets such as the GSP 300, GSP 500 and GSP 600. If you use other headsets, please make sure that the impedance (resistance) of the headset is around 50 ohms or less. Having higher impedance will impact loudness of the audio.
HiThe new update of VMware fusion, 11.5.5, seems to break the legacy ES1371 virtual audio device on Windows 10.Audio becomes very distorted and crackling, and I can't seem to find a fix, which has forced me to use the HDaudio device, which has more latency and isn't ideal.Does anyone know how to resolve this, or are there any news of lowering the latency in the HDaudio device?Alternatively, has anyone had experience with using an external soundcard with Fusion? Which one have you used? I tried with a Focusrite 2I2, but it didn't work great.
Hi Sarah!Thanks for your reply!I completely understand why you wouldn't want to upgrade.It looks like I wasn't the only one having trouble with 11.5.5, as VMware have now pulled the update. I managed to restore back to 11.5.3, which runs pretty well when using the ES1371 device.Thanks for the info on the USB soundcard! I might consider rolling a bootcamp setup if the sound continues having these kinds of issues.I'll keep you posted if they release a new version where the sound device functions properly!
Rather than having to put up with the basic onboard sounds included with your device (built-in soundcards are some of the first things manufacturers skimp on to save money), you can quickly add a USB sound card that can provide high fidelity music and audio, and even add surround sound, to your device.
A: PulseAudio is not installed by default on the Raspberry Pi OS Lite distribution ( -systems/). In order to use soundcard, you have to install PulseAudio first, and edit the configuration (with a fix to avoid the main output to be in mono-only).
Windows/WASAPI currently records garbage if you record only a single channel.The reason for this is yet unknown. Multi-channel and channel maps work,though.Windows/WASAPI silently ignores the blocksize in some cases. Apparently, itonly supports variable block sizes in exclusive mode.
Error messages often report some internal CFFI/backend errors. This will beimproved in the future.

Do you have PulseAudio installed on the Raspbian? Because audio is available only when the PulseAudio service is available ( ). In addition, you have to make sure that your USB soundcard sink is set as the default.
I believe PulseAudio is correctly configured with the mic input of the USB soundcard as a source. When I look at the Recording tab on pavucontrol, I see the audio varying in volume. When I reduce the volume on the radio the PulseAudio audio level in pavucontrol goes down and when I increase the volume on the radio the audio level in pavucontrol goes up. So I believe PulseAudio is capturing the audio output from the radio.
We just misunderstood. From you wrote earlier I understand that somehow you have radio pluged to the input on the USB soundcard and you want to stream that to your client machine. Thats why I propose that command.
Unlike some proprietary DJ systems, Mixxx can use any soundcard and anyMIDI or HID controller that yourOS has drivers to use. Mixxx can use multiple audiodevices simultaneously. Depending on your budget and application area, yoursound setup and requirements may vary. This section provides useful informationfor club, hobby, and radio DJs alike.
There is no need to buy any equipment other than a computer if you do notrequire headphone cueing. The built-in soundcard on most computers andlaptops comes with a single stereo line-out and a microphone input.
The most common setup for DJing is a laptop and a soundcard with 2 stereooutputs (4 channels). The first stereo output (channels 1-2) is used as themaster output and supplies the main mix to the audience. With the second stereooutput (channels 3-4) you can cue and preview the next track in your headphones. Ifyour soundcard only has one stereo output, you can use multiple soundcardsto achieve a similar setup. Most DJ controllers above the most basic modelsinclude a soundcard with 2 stereo outputs (seeLaptop and MIDI or HID Controller for details). 2ff7e9595c
