Analog audio, like other analog signals, can be affected by external factors that are able to alter the signal. The factors include other electrical signals or magnetic fields for example. Analog signals that are carried a long distance can suffer from losses such as reduced levels, reduced high frequencies or noise being induced along the length of the cable.
There are many techniques used to overcome these weaknesses and they provide the means to transmit analog signals with great clarity. While digital signals tend to overcome many of the analog problems, analog still has the ability to deliver results that are every bit as good, and sometimes, better results than digital.
Yes, the microphone or line in -input converts your analog signal into digital.
No. S/PDIF carries only compressed digital audio, although it sometimes uses analog connectors.
There are speaker cables, unbalanced analog cables, balanced analog cables, coaxial digital audio cables and optical audio cables.
In analog ckt there is more distortion but in digital there is no distortion. Analog is a continues value digital is a discrite value(0 or 1). To measure analog is very difficult but in digital it is very easy. compare to analog the digital system is very compart for us. H.L.Kiran
A digital audio jack serves the same purpose as an analog audio jack, only it transmits a signal that is digital (1s and 0s) instead of analog (waveform).
To have digital to audio played back it has to be changed back to analog with the use of a DAC or digital to analog converter. The DAC will take the digital signal and try to recreate it as a analog signal.
As compared to digital audio which consists of a stream of 1's and 0's, analog audio is transmitted via a physical quantity, such as a voltage. Analog recordings are physically stored, for example in a vinyl record, the record face consists of small pits and valleys that are then converted into sound. Fluctuations in electrical or magnetic fields is another method of storing analog audio.
Soundcard. It is a direct analog connection to audio out.
analog audioRefers to recording audio in a format of continuous vibrations that are analogous to the original sound waves. Before audio recording became digital, sounds were "carved" into vinyl records or written to tape as magnetic waveforms. Contrast with digital audio
Bluetooth is a digital communication interface. It tends to be used for audio signals more than other applications so it is often perceived as carrying analog audio. Despite the appearance, it is definitely digital and not analog.
No, you cannot convert HDMI (digital) into component video (analog), or extract the audio in analog form. Both devices must be HDMI to permit a connection.
An analog input voltage (or current) would be sent to device called an analog-to-digital converter (ADC or A/D). It is then converted to a discrete number and either processed or stored. In practical terms, you would have a device that has audio input connector(s) and digital output connector(s).
