If you have the chance and are into gaming, get the Audigy. As far as the LiveDrive goes, it's up to you, do you need cheap phono connections on your PC to attach cool stuff or will a 3.5mm to phono...
Dunno about the brain requirement, I got ears if that's any help http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif. It seems to be a top card, and shuold be given the pedigree of the GameTheaterXP....
Well, when I went from my AWE64 to a Santa Cruz I wasn't imagining the extra quality with MP3s and games, so I'm sticking with it. Anyone wanna buy an AWE64? ...
You should be able to use a coaxial cable with an RCA plug as a digital lead, but you must make sure you plug it into the appropriate coaxial (as opposed to optical SPDIF) digital input on your...
Well, the sliders may help but that won't affect the drop-out you're hearing. It definitely isn't trying to decode dolby digital as you say, for a start it's coming from a stereo line-level...
Another vote for the separates route, God bless Richer Sounds. Another place to look (not online sadly) is Hyperfi, otherwise known as the green pages in the back of What Hi*Fi magazine. They have...
I got an RMA number for the card which is good, but the guy on the phone asking about the details of the problem asked what type of microphone I was using, whether it was amplified or not. Mine is so...
Resistance, inductance and capacitance all have a large part to play in the sound of a cable, and like hifi in general, it's more often a matter of taste rather than something being better or worse.
37 phone wires is a lot of wires! Think of the principles behind multistrand cables, just because the individual strands might have a high resistance doesn't mean the whole cable will 'melt'.
...
I've decided to get the card replaced, it looks dodgy anyway. I tried a fresh reinstall with 98SE and used the latest Santa Cruz drivers (seeing as the Videologic ones I downloaded are corrupt! ...
Nice for Creative to have the money to get it certified http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif. I think that's just like THX certification, just because something doesn't have it doesn't...
Not at the same price as a Santa Cruz it hasn't! If you really want a toy like that then spend less money and get the better, more convenient version with the GameTheater XP, and also a far, far...
Translate that XP price into £s for us http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/frown.gif, but it is a great card (so I've heard, or not, whatever http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif)....
They are identical, and when I say identical I mean that I ordered my OEM SonicFury from dabs and it has Turtle Beach Santa Cruz printed on the back of the PCB! The drivers re interchangeable but...
Thanks for the thoughts, yes, I agree I think I have overall output problems http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/frown.gif. I did just whip out hte old card and plug in the new one, installing...
That was my fear. Was it just that my old card was tuned really high, somehow I doubt it. Keep 'em coming guys, if you need any system specs or ought just let me know.
OK, listen up and thanks for checking this. I got my Santa Cruz/SonicFury today and am just playing around with it now. I wasn't too impressed with my case when it blocked off the end Versajack...
Thanks guys, after a long night of research I have ordered an OEM version of the Videologic SonicFury (£57). It seems as though it should be a worthwhile upgrade over my old AWE64 value, I'm...
You've really got to think twice before spending more money on cables than speakers. Sure, the speakers will sound better, but you've got to get things in perspective. For this end of the audio...
I am biased, but I'm not biased for no reason, I just heard how good a PC can sound when hooked up to separates audio equipment. Depending on your domestic arrangements it can make a lot of sense if...
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I could get the Santa Cruz direct but didn't fancy the $40 shipping! Are you sure the SonicFury is the same, I can't find anywhere to say that it's A3D 2 compatible. Any...
