I've searched around on our site and am confused. I'm using a PC for audio output but 1. low volume 2. Don't think I'm getting the full Hz range in the files. Then, throw in Video and I'm stumped. Do I need seperate divices 1 for sound to the 2B and one for video? How to sync? or is that not a problem.
Thanks for any help/comments.

There are some files that have video/audio with am estim file as well. They will be surround sound files, a mac can be set up to play these but can be cumbersome.

Re: Which audio/video player(s) for Stim Files
If using a PC as an audio source for stimming, I'd always recommend having two sound devices, and keep one for e-stim audio output only.
For example, on my Windows machine I use the motherboard's onboard sound for everything as default, but I have a SoundBlaster card installed which I use for e-stim audio and nothing else. That way, I can watch a video with sound through the speakers (connected to the motherboard) while simultaneously routing e-stim audio to my 2B (via the SoundBlaster). It also prevents email alerts etc. causing a sudden spike in the audio to the 2B, which could be unhelpful or unpleasant.
My preferred audio player for e-stim is VLC. You can set it up to route audio to a specific device, which is helpful.

Dual Audio on PC. Sounds like a good method. Thanks.

Get yourself a Sony NWZ A15 mp3 player, its ideal for stimulations files.
