    Windows Volume Control Disabled when K7 is Connected

    You need set UAC 1.0 Mode. See my review. The UAC 1.0 mode provides microphone support with a fixed PCM 48kHz-16bit output and is practically compatible with everything. The second mode, called UAC 2.0, enables higher-quality audio via USB, up to 384kHz-32bit and DSD256, but requires specific...

    Amplifier BT20A Pro started making strange noise in one channel

    Hi! I have the same amplifier and have been using it for about two years without any problems. I remember that at the beginning it had a slight hum, which I managed to fix by replacing the speaker cables. I recommend checking the RCA connections and also the cable connected to your source (if...

    Protection For Fosi Audio® Amplifiers

    Frankly, a casing for Fosi Audio amplifiers seems absolutely pointless to me. These amplifiers are already designed to be compact and well-built, and their clean, modern look with quality materials is part of their appeal. Adding an external enclosure would only make heat dissipation worse...

    Amplifier ZA3 Rattling noise in Brand new unit.

    Hi, I’ve opened the ZA3 several times and there shouldn’t be anything inside that causes the rattling. If it works perfectly, I recommend opening it up and taking a look. It’s a very simple operation to do. There are no seals, and if you follow the instructions shown in the many videos that...

    Co-Create LCXX Physical VU Meter Matrix Switcher Survey

    The main purpose would be to connect two pairs of speakers that operate separately but in sync, for example, front and rear speakers to achieve a greater and perfectly controllable effect. This solution would also allow use in two different rooms, easily and without additional costs, creating a...

    Co-Create LCXX Physical VU Meter Matrix Switcher Survey

    In this specific context, creating a system that allows both amplifiers to play simultaneously would make it possible to connect two pairs of speakers that operate separately but in sync — for example, combining front and rear speakers to achieve a wider effect in larger spaces. This would be...

    Co-Create LCXX Physical VU Meter Matrix Switcher Survey

    Yes, an option that includes a built-in preamplifier which allows both amplifiers to play simultaneously.

    Linear power supply PSU20

    In my opinion, the best option is the second one: adding another DC input port to allow switching between the internal power supply and an external one. This way, it's possible to choose between the standard or an external linear power supply depending on the need. I believe the first option...

    Linear power supply PSU20

    After careful consideration, I have to admit that the idea of installing USB sockets is indeed very useful and an excellent idea, especially for powering external devices such as the SK01 or the AH01A LED.

    Co-Create LCXX Physical VU Meter Matrix Switcher Survey

    I would keep the excellent warm vintage light used in the LC30, rather than the white one shown in the photo.

    Preamp Q8 Desktop DAC Preamp Development Log

    If the SUB RCA output is affected by the volume and tone controls of the main output (even if it's stereo), it creates a dependency that limits the flexibility of the system. In practice, it becomes difficult to manage a second pair of speakers independently using a preamp such as the P3 or P4...

    Preamp Q8 Desktop DAC Preamp Development Log

    I'm referring to a direct line output, optionally equipped with a sensitivity control separate from main output, to allow connection to a second amplifier, with in turn makes it possible to connect two additional speakers to be strategically placed in a room. Basically, for someone who has, for...

    Preamp Q8 Desktop DAC Preamp Development Log

    Charlese, I would like the project to include a trasparent line out, not affected by volume control or other active stages, to which I could connect a second independent amplifier. This would allow me to eventually add another pair of speakers in strategic positions within my setup, providing...

    MY REVIEW OF FOSI AUDIO K7 based on my listening experience

    Surely this is due to particular personal needs, for example I tried to play with discord and world of warcraft and it didn't give me any problems, I keep the two volumes, the game and the chat, separate, which is what interests me. What game do you have problems with?

    MY REVIEW OF FOSI AUDIO K7 based on my listening experience

    For the record, I should inform you that my Mac also does this with my Apollo Twin professional sound card that costs over $1000. So I don't think it's a defect of the K7.
