i have no ****ing clue how it was so hard to find thisdarthbane2k said:Im sure it would work great, however back to problem - Im from the UK! There doesnt seem to be any products like this available freely in the UK. Heck even ebay.co.uk comes up with nothing.
I really cannot play my Wii like this any longer, its truly truly terrible.

thanks chum, just what i thought. you have no ****ing clue. i'm an audio engineer. do you have any idea how often di units are used in big studios? it's no different than running your signal through a mixer. and since you know so much about this, i suppose you also know about the terrible "signal degradation" you get from that. LOLHAL_Laboratory said:It works the same way as anything else -- you learn this when you record music: the more interruptions in the signal, the more the signal decays.

what i'm saying is that it's the same "signal degradation" you get from running something through a mixer. it's absolutely negligible. it IS. and to suggest that this isn't a worthy trade-off against crackling/distortion is just stupid. why would you even comment on that since you don't have the problem and don't know just how bad it actually is?HAL_Laboratory said:So you're trying to tell me running something via composite input through a device, to ANOTHER device, causes absolutely no loss of sound quality? I'll agree that high-end DI units prevent most of this loss, but it's not as pure as running the cables straight into the reciever from the Wii.
i'm not gonna find the cheapest one for you. you can do that yourself.darthbane2k said:£40??
No f**kin way im spending that to fix a problem that should not exist
darthbane2k said:I cannot for the life of me find any 6dB RCA ATTENUATORS at any UK online store
and it took me 5 seconds to find them on google uk. so i'm not convinced you're searching hard enough.darthbane2k said:There doesnt seem to be any products like this available freely in the UK
i really can't say that. it's only a problem with certain tvs/receivers. it's entirely possible that nintendo ****ed up though. but the wii's sound output isn't necessarily too loud by default or else you'd have the distortion problem on ANY setup.darthbane2k said:Jarosh, in your professional opinion would you say that this problem is a mistake on the part of Nintendo, or just bad luck on my part because of my reciever?
VideoMan said:Ok, the new attenuators arrived today. PERFECTION! They sound great and have completely solved the crackling problem on my Samsung HDTV.
Here's the link to the ones I bought via Amazon.com for anyone else interested:
http://www.amazon.com/HARRISON-LABS-LINE-LEVEL-ATTENUATOR/dp/B0006N41AG/sr=11-1/qid=1165507878/ref=sr_11_1/104-1158184-2771954
These are the 6dB ones (lowers the volume by 6 decibels), which work great for the problems I was having (sound crackling only at certain times like in the 2nd dungeon and bombs exploding in Zelda). They also make a stronger 12dB version which might be better for the people who are having distortion problems even in the Mii channel and Photo channel.
These attenuators are also a bit of a more elegant solution being as they're small adapters about the size of a AA battery that plug into the ends of the Wii cables, rather than a box (which would also require a second patch cable to run from the box to your television/stereo).
jarosh said:interdiscount. i settled for the 55w one. since the wii only needs like 43w. 55w is the absolute max you can get in 'regular' stores like media markt or id. for more wattage and MUCH higher prices: www.distrelec.ch.
you... are swiss... you wouldn't ask that otherwise, would you?

could you tell me the name/model number of the stepdown you got? My US Twilight Princess arrived for the US GC, but my stepdown isn't working.
Thanks!

drohne said:audiophiles have measured the total harmonic distortion of no wii at all at an astonishing 0.000000 %
it's really the only way to go if you care about audio. or if you care about games. or if you don't care about audio or games but have no special predilection for keeping useless pieces of shit around the place
drohne said:i have expanded and rephrased post #81 after thinking about it on the toilet. admirable seat! most suited to thoughts of wii, being, as you are, shiny and white, and being, as you are, the appropriate receptacle for pieces of shit
