Text of the page (random words):
erformers and djs djs who use dj software typically use sound cards integrated into dj controllers or specialized dj sound cards dj sound cards sometimes have inputs with phono preamplifiers to allow turntables to be connected to the computer to control the software s playback of music files with vinyl emulation the usb specification defines a standard interface the usb audio device class allowing a single driver to work with the various usb sound devices and interfaces on the market mac os x windows and linux support this standard however some usb sound cards do not conform to the standard and require proprietary drivers from the manufacturer cards meeting the older usb 1 1 specification are capable of high quality sound with a limited number of channels but usb 2 0 or later are more capable with their higher bandwidths uses edit the main function of a sound card is to play audio usually music with varying formats monophonic stereophonic various multiple speaker setups and degrees of control the source may be a cd or dvd a file streamed audio or any external source connected to a sound card input audio may be recorded sometimes sound card hardware and drivers do not support recording a source that is being played non sound uses edit sound cards can be used to generate output arbitrary electrical waveforms as any digital waveform played by the soundcard is converted to the desired output within the bounds of its capabilities in other words sound cards are consumer grade arbitrary waveform generators a number of free and commercial software allow sound cards to act like function generators by generating desired waveforms from functions 25 there are also online services that generate audio files for any desired waveforms playable through a sound card sound cards can also be used to record electrical waveforms in the same way it records an analog audio input the recording can be displayed by special or general purpose audio editing software acting as an oscilloscope or further transformed and analyzed a protection circuit should be used to keep the input voltage within acceptable bounds 26 27 as general purpose waveform generators and analyzers sound cards are bound by several design and physical limitations sound cards have a limited sample rate typically up to 192 khz under the assumptions of the nyquist shannon sampling theorem this means a maximum signal frequency bandwidth of half that 96 khz real sound cards tend to have a bandwidth smaller than implied by the nyquist limit from internal filtering 26 as with all adcs and dacs sound cards produce distortion and noise a typical integrated sound card the realtek alc887 according to its data sheet has distortion about 80 db below the fundamental cards are available with distortion better than 100 db sound cards commonly suffer from some clock drift requiring correction of measurement results sound cards have been used to analyze and generate the following types of signals sound equipment testing a very low distortion sinewave oscillator can be used as input to equipment under test the output is sent to a sound card s line input and run through fourier transform software to find the amplitude of each harmonic of the added distortion 28 alternatively a less pure signal source may be used with circuitry to subtract the input from the output attenuated and phase corrected the result is distortion and noise only which can be analyzed gamma spectroscopy a sound card can serve as a cheap multichannel analyzer for gamma spectroscopy which allows one to distinguish different radioactive isotopes 29 longwave radio a 192 khz sound card can be used to receive radio signals up to 96 khz this bandwidth is enough for longwave time signals such as the dcf77 77 5 khz a coil is attached to the input side as an antenna while special software decodes the signal 30 31 a sound card can also work in the opposite direction and generate low power time signal transmissions jjy at 40 khz using harmonics 32 driver architecture edit to use a sound card the operating system os typically requires a specific device driver a low level program that handles the data connections between the physical hardware and the operating system some operating systems include the drivers for many cards for cards not so supported drivers are supplied with the card or available for download ms dos programs for ibm pc compatibles often used universal middleware driver libraries such as the hmi sound operating system the miles audio interface libraries ail the miles sound system etc which had drivers for most common sound cards some card manufacturers provided terminate and stay resident drivers for their products often the driver is a sound blaster and adlib emulator designed to allow their products to emulate a sound blaster and adlib and to allow games that could only use soundblaster or adlib sound to work with the card finally some programs simply had driver or middleware source code incorporated into the program itself for the sound cards that were supported windows uses drivers generally written by the sound card manufacturers many device manufacturers supply the drivers on their own discs or to microsoft for inclusion in windows usb audio device class support is present from windows 98 onwards 33 since microsoft s universal audio architecture uaa initiative which supports hd audio firewire and usb audio class standards a universal class driver by microsoft can be used the driver is included with windows vista for windows xp windows 2000 or windows server 2003 the driver can be obtained by contacting microsoft support 34 almost all manufacturer supplied drivers for such devices also include this universal class driver a number of versions of unix make use of the portable open sound system oss drivers are seldom produced by the card manufacturer most present day linux distributions make use of the advanced linux sound architecture alsa h mockingboard support on the apple ii is usually incorporated into the programs themselves as many programs for the apple ii boot directly from disk however a tsr is shipped on a disk that adds instructions to apple basic so users can create programs that use the card provided that the tsr is loaded first list of notable sound card manufacturers edit asus advanced gravis computer technology
