From the description, are your monitors powered? If so, then it sounds like it may be a problem with the grounding on the power for them differing from the grounding on your PC (or the fact that PCs often cause grounding differential because of their irregular power usage if your audio card has poor isolation (common on lower end audio hardware)). The ...

If your system is plagued by hums and buzzes, there's a strong possibility they might be caused by ground loops. Use balanced connections where possible, and if you're getting hum problems when connecting an unbalanced source to a balanced destination, try making up a special cable, as shown below. Don't remove mains earths to try to solve ground loop hums: ...

The tool you linked can widen the stereo image of the music and it does this by inverting the signal on one channel relative to the other and adding a portion of the right channel to the left and vice versa. Thus if a particular sound were a little bit "left" it would become "more" left as you increase the stereo enhancement. The meter you mention gives ...

Super simple explanation of the invert button. Imagine a simple sine wave. Thats the solid line in this graph. If you had the invert phase button on a console or use the plugin in your DAW does the same thing, you get the sine wave illustrated with the dotted line in the graph. Why do you care? If you were to sum these two sine waves you'd end up with ...

Phase is one of those things that is a lot more complex in reality than it first seems from the theory. Sound waves are transmitted through oscillating air pressure. Electronically, it is captured as a signal that maps the pressure changes to changes in electrical voltage. If you had a fixed frequency wave, it would look like a sine wave going up and down ...

JACK Audio will do this on Linux, OSX and Windows. Soundflower is similar, but only works on OSX. Rewire must be explicitly supported by all applications involved in the audio routing process.
