You know, I had the same problem, static on the right speaker though. I tried reversing front, back, to see if it was the soundcard, the problem persisted, the static was still there after switching...
Well, you can't get Quadrophonics with an onboard card. (Four Speaker set-up for good almost surround sound feeling) And like everyone here has said, it uses CPU cycles, the SB Live! Series, from...
SB Live! Value $50 bucks. Same as the Platinum Series which cost $200, only difference is the bundled software and outputs, plus the connectors isn't gold plated. Otherwise the performance and...
By the way, EAX 2.0 sucks compared to A3D when it comes to surround sound but I'd still go for the SB live since like I've said, most games supports EAX and they do support A3D now but it's suspect...
It depends on what you're going to use the soundcard for, EAX is the most supported API, A3D will not be in the future due to the fact that Aureal (the chipmaker who supports this API) has filed...
Well, they're almost identical, but not exactly. The Live! Value doesnt' have a gold plated connectors like the X-gamer, and the Value is missing SPDIF input or something like that. The difference...

The Altec Lansing ACS340 is really good, it has a subwoofer and I use it a lot to play MP3's, it sit next to my stereo system and it sounds great next to it. When I finally decided I want surround...
The problem w/ Turtle Beach Montego is that it uses an Aureal based chipset, and since Aureal has filed for chapter 11, it means that their 3D API, Ad3d won't be supported in the future, which means,...
Whats the difference between the 2? I know Gamer is is bundled w/ a lot of stuff, but is there a difference between the hardware? And if there is, is it worth the $50 bucks difference? Help! I'm...
I've decided to finally get a Soundblaster Live X-gamer since I've read (just today) from Maximum PC to stay away from any Aureal based product. Anyways, before that, I've read that the Montego...
I've heard that Aureal, the chip maker for Montego is out of business, thus no driver from them. Is it still a good move to buy a Turtle Beach Montego then? I'm just wondering, if Turtle Beach...
