Right now, we have both #audio and #sound tags. Is it useful to have both of these? Is there a meaningful distinction for searching, filtering, or for experts (or other interested site members) to subscribe to?
For what it’s worth, #audio is currently on 143 posts, while #sound is used just 33 times. (And there is some overlap, with posts being tagged with both for good measure.)
Can someone with TL1 (that is, no ability to create new tags) show me what happens if you now try to tag something #sound? And what about someone without admin but at TL2 or TL3?
True, but are there any on-topic questions about sound that aren’t about audio and which wouldn’t be equally-well (or better?) described with something more specific (like #fan-noise?)
So to me, what comes out of most computer systems doesn’t rate as audio. At least not for enjoyable listening sessions. I always refer to it as just sound. I also consider the surround sound system attached to my TV to be sound as opposed to (low fidelity) audio even. In any case, I don’t mind helping with sound card issues even if you want to call it “audio”
