Stereo Tool

hi
we are having problems using stereo ..rds works great!! sound is good but when we turn on the stereo we get a bad his and a humin noise..we are using a @juli sound card and have tried both phono and jack output's and is still the same...could it be because its on 173 insted of 192 khz ....can any1 help?

That's odd...

I have NO idea what could be causing this, but let's start by asking some questions:
- Which version of Stereo Tool are you using? Winamp plugin, DSP, stand alone? 4.22 or one of the 5.00 BETA's?)
- Have you checked that the Juli@ info panel displays the same sample rate that Stereo Tool is using (176.4 kHz based on your post)?
- What does the "10.895ghz" in the subject mean?
- If you set the receiver to MONO, does the hiss and humming disappear? If not, do you also hear the humming and/or the hiss if you listen directly to the Juli@ output (the sound that it sent to the transmitter)?
- Do you also hear this humming and hiss if there's no sound to be broadcast (eg. broadcasting silence)? (You can turn 'Post Amp' to 0 to test this).
- What happens if you reduce the sound card output level (NOT the Post Amp in the main window, but the slider that's available for the FM output / Direct Sound Card Access in Winamp)?

Note: 176.4 kHz should work fine, I always test with it on a Juli@ and I'm not getting the sounds that you're describing. (Although there were some weird sounds with earlier Stereo Tool versions). I should add to that that I haven't been able to test the Juli@ output lately because I'm having driver issues in Vista64. So it's possible that there's something wrong with the stereo signal - but if so, others should be hearing it also and you're the first to mention it.
