I am new to this digital audio thing. I purchased the Audigy sound card
and started turning my vinyl into CDs. My problem is that sometimes
when I am playing back any "file", wav or CD I get a sort of "hollow"
sound, it is like there is to much top end and not enough bass. I have
fiddled with the "tone" settings but this is really a "band aid" and is
not satisfactory. It stops doing it and then a few hours later "yuk"
sound. The files that sounded bad sound fine when things are OK so I
figure maybe it is the sound card. Help.

I worked it out. Output set too high. This digital sure isn't analogue.
At least I know what digital clipping sounds like.

What kind of phono preamp are you using?
Or is this some kind of card with a built-in RIAA preamp?

Another thing to look out for, perhaps the audigy doesn't do this, but I
have a creative soundblaster that, when recording, has gain control
automatically set. When recording music it continually adjusts the
recording level so all the music is at the exact same level. I never
found a wy to defeat that. The way to quickly tell if that's happening
to you is to look at the wave file and see if the amplitude stays pretty
much the same throughout a song. Of course, the song you would test
would be quite dynamic in nature.
