Thread revival. emu1212m linux support is advancing. http://www.alsa-project.org/~james/alsa-driver/emu1212m/readme.txt testers wanted. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg21864.html

Stay away from the DIY section at Head-Fi. That has to be the most dangerous category. http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6

The sound quality of the realtek chips can be very differrent from one mainboard to another. It all depends on how well implemented it has been by the manufacturer. A well implemented ALC850 can sound comparable to a SB Live5.1. Which really is'nt saying much. ;)

Mister X is my hero too!

IMHO Sen-Hi-Ser

IMHO it depends on the motherboard manufacturers implementation. The realtek alc650 is certainly capable of sounding better than SBLive. I had both installed on Asus a7n8x the ac97 chip sounded better. On the other hand my present motherboard is a MSI k8n the realtek alc850 sounds terrible...

What you going to be listening with?: pc speakers; headphone; receiver?

Sennheiser make just what you are looking for m@m 40. It hangs round your neck. http://a-com.yp.pl/A/[email protected] $25 amazon.com

I have 1 of those in my collection of obsolete sound cards. SB16 SB64 SB Live 5.1 TB santa cruz. AC97 is really not that bad it depends on the board makers implementation. The 1 on my MSI nf3 board sux its terrible. But I until recently had a ASUS nf2 (not soundstorm) and the onboard...

M-audio revolution 7.1

Alleged soundStorm come back gets slashdotted!

There are no pci-e soundcards as of yet. There are other usb soundcards ;)

How much budget do you have ? What is your source?

Thats exactly what I do in linux. I run the TB santaCruz into line in of revo 7.1, Then the revo outputs to my pimeta and onto my headphones. I only do this for quake3 based games since they do not support alsa drivers. Revo is unable to use oss compatability due to a mmap issue. I am hoping...

Be advised: Your wallet will start screaming in pain shortly. This is normal!

Yeah but does that attenuator not require that there $485 knob ;)

M-audio revolution7.1 > Pimeta+Steps > HD 595

@saturnine2 How does your maxed out PPA1 compare to PPA2? I am thinking of building one. What about your M3? what happened to that? IIRC Mister X said that PPA2 had superior sound quality. (M3 has less parts...)

This thread really caught my attention. The 'sennheiser hd-201' + 'turtle beach audio advantage micro soundcard' combo seems to have it going on! Anyway it cant be bad for 43 bucks!

^^ Type pimeta in search of the 'for sale' forum.

PM Mister X. He may whisper it in your ear ;) Or build your own.

I'm waiting for Mister X to buy one ;)

I have seen a pci-e x1 gigabit ethernet card but can remeber where.

Would it be possible that your onboard audio is configured and windows is outputting the sound through this? Have you tried disabling it in BIOS?

I read a bunch of threads over at headFi on the revolution5.1. One of the guru's, glassman I believe his nik was. Said something along the line's of. - With some modification the onboard headphone amp could be equal to a cmoy. He goes on to list the neccessary mods. (sound kinda complicated.)...

I just got the headphones. No one gave input so I bought them anyway. They are the 120 ohm version. Which perhaps could do with an amp. Sounds a lot better than my HD 500 and HD 497 :) Anyhow the revolution 5.1 is yet to arrive. :(

I have just ordered a M-audio Revolution5.1 to upgrade my ageing santaCruz. The question is in 3 parts. 1. I have found an e-tailer in Spain whom sells sennheiser HD-595 for 120 EURO incl tax.(146 USD) This seems like a steal. I e-mail'ed the to verify the price and they said its...

Listening with senn HD-497. MSI K8N neo (realtek alc850), The sound is terrible. Santa Cruz sounds a lot better. There are better implementations I had a asus A7N8X non delux (no sound storm just realtek alc650). And it did not suffer from as much noise as MSI board.

I take it that means better fps. But worse sound quality. Please correct me if I have misunderstood.

sennheiser m@m 40, just hook onto your neck see link. http://www.fransvaneeckhout.be/sennheiser/multimedia.htm Not very expensive.

I'm in the same boat, I agree with what you have just said but my 3400+ CO clawhammer is well over a year old I'm itching for a change. Its not a excellent clocker 2400mhz prime stable 24h. 2500mhz superPi 32M. Max OC 2600mhz. I want to play with something else...

nforce3 hands down!

Yes the 3700+ is the highest clocked socket 754 chip.

I have one but ony use it for new builds. If I'm just changing a card or something I just ground myself by touching the radiator.

Check ou this article its in the line. http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20020820/index.html Dont forget a multimeter, and the essential 5mm nutdriver!
