I realize this is a shot in the dark here, but has anyone seen/heard a pair of Klipsch's new multimedia speaker setup, the ProMedia v.2 400s? If so, i dont suppose youve had a chance to compare them...
Im probably the wrong person to answer this, as im VERY picky about sound quality. Ive only ever listened to the DS80's in stores, which can be misleading, but from what ive heard, they sound good....
The software is also different. The full version comes with a few mixing and editing type programs. Of course, if youre anything like me, you really dont care about that. ...
Sound quality and preferences are pretty subjective. Everyone will have their own opinion, and none are necessarily more correct than others. However, in my opinion, the SBLive! is pretty much the...
Im not sure there are any differences. The SBLive! full comes with the I/O daughter card, and a pile of software. The SBLive! Value comes without the daugher card or software. As far as i know, the...
Id go for the SBLive! Value. Theyre almost dirt cheap right now, you should be able to find one for well under $60US, $100CDN. Honestly, i dont think youll notice a large difference between that and...
Sounds like some sort of interference to me. If youre comfortable with such an operation, you could try moving the card to a different PCI slot. You could also try the universal fix-all, updated...
All of the above. Likely, since youre likely playing MP3s through the wave mapper, and since you can play WAV files fine, I would think its not a hardware issue.
Both the Live! and MX300 are great. I cant really recommend which one, I have a Live! myself, but Ive never tried the MX300. Ive never had a problem in the world with my Live!, it works great, and if...
Well, meh. Ive heard talk that theres a degradtaion in sound quality if you use 2 sets of speakers, instead of 1 set of 4. Frankly, I use 2 sets and it sounds absolutely fine to me. Unless youre...
To use surround sound, you need a compatible card, such as the SBLive, not just the speakers. Since you already have 2 of the 4 speakers, you only need 2 more, and a sub if you like. I recommend the...
I think you may be just hearing the standard Shockwave noise. Ive had 3 different soundcards over the last little while, including a Live, and they all do that.
DataOrb,
I have no idea what you just said, and while it may be true, you'll get better sound quality from 2 sets of decent speakers than from a 60$ set of Cambridge 4PointSurround, I promise you...
Open the mixer, using the speaker icon in the tray. Make sure nothing is muted. Also, go to Options > Properties, and change to record properties. Select "What U Hear". It's more than likely just...
It can be done. I use a dual boot, win 98 and win NT. I bought an SBLive, and it absolutely would NOT work in NT, so i went out and blew 10 bucks on a generic ISA card, just to play MP3s in NT. But I...
Toolbox said it. Don't buy one set. Most 4 speaker sets are cheap. Buy 2 different sets. I use a set of older Altec ACS300.1s in the front, and Cambridge Soundworks in the rear.
If all other sound works fine, then you know its not the soundcard, correct? You should check the audio cable that connects your CDROM to your soundcard. Also, check your mixer settings and make sure...
I disagree. Ive heard PC audio systems that will blow you away. For the money youd spend on an amp and speakers, you could get an AMAZING PC audio system.
We could debate for hours over features, speed, blah blah blah. Actually its pretty simple. It all boils down to your speakers.
If youre using 2 speakers, get the MX300.
If youre using 4 speakers,...
Mole is right, it all comes down to noise, which even the best soundcards out there cant always deal with. Much of the noise comes from simply being in a case with all those electronic devices,...
I have been. I go to add, then select the unknown driver option at the top. I enter the directory on the CD where the drivers are (/audio/english/nt4drv/), and it comes up with an option to select...
