WytchDokta Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm using SoundBlaster X-Fi HD with THX Tru Studio Pro external audio interface along with Creative Aurvana Live! cans (I have unfinished audio business to be getting on with so....) Testing these out to see how they compare with my AKG cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 OMG, 299 Euros, that's ridiculous. Get Steel/stealth series Siberian V2, they're like half the price and a really high quality headset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squad_e Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm using SoundBlaster X-Fi HD with THX Tru Studio Pro external audio interface along with Creative same, these are epic!!!... I'd stay away from 5.1 surround headphones too, they're not really all that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thing is my TruStudio is conflicting with the onboard sound, I think. It works, for deffo, I've got the external hardware interface running, but the software won't let me edit any settings in TruStudio, even says device not found - except that it is found because the device shows up in Windows sound manager thing on taskbar (it's selected as my deafult audi device.) Andd it gets better, there is no setting in BIOS to disable onboard sound. I've checked this twice myself and once with another person.

CR6 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I have a SB X-Fi PCIe card for my gaming rig and the crystalizer does make a difference for the audio. They aren't too expensive these days and you can actually use the PCIe slot in your computer for something!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
