It might actually be an issue with the game. I have the exact same issue on the XBox 360 version.

So I was tight for money and sold my FubarIII, and now instantly regret it. The downgrade to onboard sound (ALC889 on the Gene-Z) is horrendous, and I am now immediately looking for a cheap substitute to tide me over for a year or so. In the mean time I am using the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi...

It should work. The 2.5" is screwed in through the bottom of the case, and is fully separated from the 3.5" above it, so there shouldn't be a problem.

I just put together a build with this case, and I love the case, first time I have ever managed to get amazing cable management done in 10 years of building. However the AP181 fan is a loud demon(especially to my ears, previously coming from a near-silent case). Does anybody have a good...

I'm having an issue with my Microsoft Word (both 2007 and 2010). Whenever I try to apply formatting to some text to be either the Style of "No Spacing", "Heading 1", or "Heading 2" it refuses to apply. Even the hover preview doesn't work. However, all other Styles work just as they should. What...

I only have good things to say about the Fubar III. However, it's best coupled with passive speakers, rather than active. I'm having to juggle volume levels with my AV-40 every time I change audio sources.

So, I'm debating on getting a new pair of headphones dedicated for work. I am essentially a grad student/researcher, so I sit at the desk a lot and would prefer to minimize any sound I'm creating without compromising on volume too much. I am looking for minimal sound leakage, good sound...

Maybe it's because I'm small (5'6") but the M50s are really damn comfy, even with glasses. Not as "light" as the AD700s, but I wear tehm all of the time with minimal issues. The sound is great, and a lot more flat response than the AD700 (imho). Soundstage isn't bad, but could be larger. It...

My Koss KSC75 end up doing that all of the time due to the abuse they take. I just end up taking it apart, make sure everything is seated properly, and then it's usually fine for a while.

I've had ringing in my ears for as long as I could remember as a kid. However, my hearing is still as great as it could be, also had a hearing test when I joined the Canadian reserves as an infanteer. I just have really selective hearing, where I sometimes tend to be oblivious of what goes on...

ATH-M50 has all of you requirements! My favourite phones, ever! Just note they are studio headphones, so the sound is perceived by some as a bit sterile, but as a music fanatic listening to absolutely every genre, it's exactly what I look for.

Definitely an amazing soundstage that is brilliant for positioning in games. However, I find in somes games the lack of bass can be annoying at times. Hard to explain, but playing TF2 with nades and rockets flying and exploding all around you, it is pretty much mandatory to add a bit of a bass...

Exact Audio Copy, in FLAC format. I end up using WMA-lossless, though, because it's supported by my Zune in contrast to FLAC not being so.

I used to think that break-in for headphones was BS, until I bought a pair of ATH-M50s. These sounded like total crap coming out of the box, with highs that sounded all over the place, poor mid-quality, and lacking the bass I was seeking for. However, I noticed that even within 20 minutes...

Mine do the same. If the volume is cranked on the speaker itself, the louder the output.
