When cooking, I have a TV on in the living room and one on in the kitchen, so I don't miss my show when I go in to stir, etc. However, the two TVs are slightly out of synch, and the audio is hard to understand as a result, when walking between the two rooms. Both use external speakers. So, what I'd like is a device I can plug into the audio-out plug (the small, light green plug) that has a dial on it, say to adjust the audio delay from 0-1 second, before sending it out to another small, light green jack. So, does such a device exist ? What's it called ? StuRat ( talk) 00:14, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
I would recommend feeding both sources into a computer and make a recording of both the sorces. Then determine the exact amount of lag between them and then if the lag is below 40 milliseconds, get a program called VST Host(I don't remember the link), as well as a VST plugin called FreeHaas. For this to work, you will have to have one audio source feed into your pc and the other go to where ever its going. Once you have both of those, simply open VST host and in the File menu click new plugin(I think you can use CTRL+N as well to do the same thing). Select the FreeHaas plugin(it will be a .DLL file) and it should open the plugin. You will have to configure the audio inputs so click on the devices menu and click wave. This will bring up a box that you can select audio inputs and outputs. Once you have configured your audio devices, you can open the plugin's interface by clicking the icon on the plugin box that has a round button. Once you have the interface open, simply rotate the knob to the desired delay setting. Note: you will have to duplicate the plugin to delay the other side of the audio as well. For as this plugin is built to delay only the left or the right channel at a time. This will only work if the lag between your 2 audio sources is 40 milliseconds or under. — SGA314 I am not available on weekends ( talk) 15:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
What is FreeVSt? I was reading about Magnus Choir and in the Overview section it says, "Magnus Choir also is compatible with FreeVST allowing GNU/Linux users to use native Microsoft Windows VST plugins by using parts of the Wine compatibility layer." Could this be done without Wine? And what is FreeVST exactly? I ask because I have a Raspberry Pi 2 that I want to run VST plugins on and this just might do it. Also does anyone know if Wine can run on a Raspberry Pi 2(This is an arm hard float processor)? Thanks for your help in advance. — SGA314 I am not available on weekends ( talk) 15:22, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
I don't see much relevance of JACK Audio Connection Kit, it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with QEMU or Wine so there's a very good chance it's not going to help you with the fact it's fairly unlikely either QEMU or Wine are designed for such low latency access to the audio stack.
JACK Audio Connection Kit may be useful if you weren't trying to go through such a complicated set-up chain, like running something compiled for Linux on your Raspberry Pi 2 rather than something compiled for Windows on a x86 computer. Since you haven't even got this part working properly (although I'm fairly sure there is open source audio stuff targeted compatible with Linux and ARMs), it seems to me you're putting the cart before the horse. Get the audio part working first, then if you really can't find Linux substitute for whatever VST plug in you want, only explore the minute possbility of getting VST working.
Either when booting my Windows 7 32 bit Optiplex 320 Pentium 4 PC or my Windows 7 64 bit Gateway ACPI SX2855 Celeron G460. How do I do it ?

Thanks, all. My solution was to hold the power button down to do an emergency log off. It then asked if I wanted to restart in Safe Mode. Doing so listed all the drivers as they loaded. StuRat ( talk) 01:58, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
My child will be living in a dorm room that has an ethernet connection but no wireless. What do I need to buy in order for her to get a wireless connection? Thanks for your help. 2601:82:C101:9BF:7018:D571:C12:B9A4 ( talk) 19:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
