Title: Please list your PC playback devices in your 'signature'
Post by: Chris V on July 01, 2007, 06:07:58 pm
I think it would help us all if each contributor to this forum listed their PC playback system in their profile signature.

This would include:
PC type, operating system, soundcard, connections, DAC.

This should help Peter in his troubleshooting, help newcomers select a good system, and also help those with problems find a 'friend' with a similar system, so they can help each other. ;)

What do you good people think?

Cheers Chris

Chris, do you have a special brain or so ?  :blob8:
Or were you seeing me doing just that and right now ??

I was up to posting this as a question, and you were just ahead of me ???

So yes please everybody. It would really help me (or anyone) with suggestions of what could be the matter in certain cases. Besides that, if you would indeed do that before posting, it might even help yourself thinking things over (why is the format not allowed at doubling (hence 88K2) when my DAC supports actually 48K max. hehe).

Anyway, I tried to find a format (see sig) for presenting what we have. Please try to do it like that (or discuss anything better).

You should turn off that Web Cam if you want some privacy. :bye: :bye: ;)

Perhaps you should make this a sticky, and highlight in red as you do :good: :good:

Cheers Chris

Okay, I have made this sticky in this Boozing area, which might not be the most appropriate please. Otoh, I don't want to make it mandatory and also want to avoid too many sticky topics in the support board.

In the near future you might see that I'm adding things to it, which I then add just because I think it can be of importance in certain occasions. As an example, I just saw you mention your OS version (like "Premium" from Vista) so I added that too, because only yesterday this appeared to be of great importance (no formal DirextX for Managed Code support for Vista Business).

Anyway I'd like you to copy my behaviour, even if you don't see the importance of it. :this:

I don't think it can harm if you use your signatures to show off a bit, but be careful that it's not going against you like : yeah, but you with your 100K DAC possibly hear more than I can, so we are sure not going to listen to you. Of course I try to say with some diplomacy (me ?  :innocent:) that it might work the other way around. Well, never mind, go as you like, but try to separate "showing off" from the real information we're talking about here.
