After a bit more trial and error, the solution is both the mp3gain and the turning down in FPP, removing either one from the equation results in the distortion still being present. At least I know now and have a solution.

Thankyou all for suggestions, solved. TriC) Sounded normal through earphones connected to sound blaster. DJ, Juddge) Turning down in FPP to 70% get rid of most of the problem (bass distortion) and a new 3.5 to RCA to connect the transmitter got rid of the little bit of crackle that may or may...

Thanks for suggestion. Was a bugger to figure out how to install on windows 11. Two different dependencies that needed to be installed. Anyway.... Gave it a try with one of my mp3s and it didn't help just made it quieter overall. Will continue trying with other files and see if I can get better...

Hi Brains trust, [Solved, see post #8] Got an interesting problem with the new song this year. All my songs sounds crisp and clean except Golden. I have purchased 3 different versions and acquired 4 more for testing purposes and all have the same problem. The bass is terrible and heaps of...

when joining 3 or more cables, you end up with two or more cables coming out one side of the heat shrink with gaps that the heat shrink won't shrink to fill. I tend to add a squirt of silicon. I use a syringe without the needle filled with neutral cure silicon to make it easy to add to small...

Came across these the other day, can't speak to quality, but looks like a good possibility. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009528822110.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009437013871.html Cheers, Rowan

I use a WCM118 Soldering Station from rockby.com.au, Terrible website, odd little store, loved it so much I have one in the shed and one in the work car for bigger jobs.

The Ray Wu and x connect (and likely Paul Z, never had any) connectors are surprisingly waterproof for a cheap connector. I assumed when I started this hobby that cheaper connector could be found if I was willing to solder/terminate them myself. That turned out not to be true at all. Anything...

I would get whatever Omada wifi access point is suitable for outdoors and just put it at the yellow x with a cable back to your switch in the mancave. I believe all Omada access points will do roaming, but that is the keyword that you need to make sure of. Roaming will hand off from your...

Love all the different use cases people come up with. For all the similarities, we all often run very different things.

I could, and it's less than 10mtrs between them. But the way the cables are run that would be about 40mtrs of cable and I already have the network cable waiting for me. Plus, perfect excuse to get another different type of controller. I really am a glutton for punishment. I think I have one of...

So my main show Player is clear on the other side of the yard, but I already have ethernet at the prop location. IE can't run button wire from Pi to prop. Therefore, I'm adding a Baldrick input1 to run the buttons as well as my existing Advatek Pixlite 4 (had forgotten I had it) to run the...

WLED doesn't seem to have support for TLS3001. I found a Pixlite 4 in my box of random controllers, so I think I'll be using that and a pi zero with some resistors to run a button. That will keep it all in the one control box somewhat stand alone. (Still connected to network so I can fiddle...

So I have lots of TLS3001 12 bit pixels that I thought would be great to use for my selfie wings as the colors will (should?) look better than standard pixels. Only problem is all the newer F-prop, Genius "in and out" pi hat, even the baldrick, have all moved to only 3 wire pixel outputs...

How interesting, the Symes family owned the bakery and an orchard in Harcourt. Two brothers and their families. More recent generation ran sheep and wheat in pyramid hill. I have to ask my mum about it. Hope your mum recovers quickly.
