I believe that was the case, not entirely sure why. It should be updating in the next 24 hours though to update your trust level.

That was something we did under a specific manager that we havenāt had in a long while now. Yes, it was abused, for certain. It also was a third party site, which weāre not overly fond of using those if we can avoid it.

I know the answer would most likely be no or you donāt know, but would there be a new forum weād be using one day? Hopefully one home made.

Any idea whatās holding me back from Trust Level 3. I think I have enough posts and I believe I was on the forums at least half the time in the past 100 days. I had TL3; however, lost that. I was a Beta user. I think I have done everything else so Iām unsure what the issue could be. Thanks in advance.
Thank you very much!

Looks like it just needs to update, Vyanta. That can take a day or so.

Well, it took about ten years but Iāve fixed my computer audio.
- Thought it was the light gauge patchwork wiring from the subwoofer to speakers, so I replaced it with highly pliant full copper wiring. Nope.
- Maybe the cabling between the audio interface and amp. It utilised some adapters so I went for one-piece, higher-end interconnects. Nope.
- Alright. The amp is old. An old Tripath unit ā I tried reflowing the solder then outright replaced it. Nope.
Turned out it was the old 12-gauge super expensive speaker wiring run into the Monoprice banana plugs. The wiring was bulked up with string (I donāt know why ā itās audiophile-grade stuff and audiophiles are better than anti-vaxxers at convincing themselves unicorn poop tastes better than Skittles) and the Monoprice plugs, though full metal, used an archaic screw-in system that didnāt do a good job at anything aside from shredding wire strands.
Anyway, it all sounds great now. I even have a new audio interface, though that was more for the USB class compliance (it now works ā both input and output ā without drivers, albeit at a basic level!).

If anyoneās curious ā
Banana Plugs
https://www.amazon.com/KabelDirekt-Flexible-Connection-amplifiers-receivers/dp/B078PJTKZD
It uses a two screw clamp ā one to make the electrical connection, and one to secure your wireās jacket. This means the wiring has an excellent connection that doesnāt get trimmed by sharp edges, AND the stress is placed on the jacket rather than the metal wire strands.
These are the best ones I could find and the main reason why I put this post together ā so I could recommend them!
Wiring
https://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-Kable-Gauge-Copper-Speaker/dp/B00UI08LKS
Itās soft, itās pretty, itās full copper, and because itās an unusual colour itās easy to pick out from the mass of wiring behind my computer. Uh, though I do find their naming parameter a tad unfortunate.
Amplifier
https://fosiaudio.com/products/fosi-audio-v3-300w-x2-2-0-channel-hi-fi-stereo-audio-amplifier-with-tpa3255-chip
Itās cheap, itās compact, it sounds great.
Audio Interface
https://www.steinberg.net/audio-interfaces/ur22c/
The most expensive part of the setup is this audio interface. Audiophiles who talk about equipment love to talk about how warm it makes their music, or any other number of descriptor. You can do that (if you want) post audio interface. This peripheralās job is to convert digital information into analogue information (read: audio signal), and to do so colouring the signal as little as possible.
Replaceable with a DAC but audio interfaces are the sort of things found in recording studios and are oriented toward a more professional audience.
Interconnects
https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Plated-Copper-6-35mm-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B07G4Y4NYP/
They seem fine. You want short ones that go right from the interface into the amp. Theyāre one-piece and were affordable. They appear to be copper but Iām not inclined to chop them up just to find out.

Iām reminded of an old Steve Martin stand-up bit from 45 years ago. Iād share it, but, well, you knowā¦ (what I would consider) mild profanity.
If anybody is interested, just search Youtube for āSteve Martin Googlephonicsā.
Edit - corrected timeframe to be more accurate and feel less old.
