It has to do with this. http://theaudiocritic.com/plog/ Electronic Personality? peteraczel | 26 April, 2007 10:26 Electronic Signal Paths Do Not Have a Personality! I keep forgetting that my newer readers outnumber the old-timers and that some of the basic truths about audio that...

Are they as good as this review claims? (you need to scroll to near bottom of the page to read the review) http://theaudiocritic.com/plog/ Spherex Surround peteraczel | 03 June, 2007 10:24 Integrated 5.1 Surround Sound System Spherex Xbox 5.1 Actually it’s not news because the...

Yea, and here it is again said better than I can say it. The sooner you come to realize you are just a tweako idiophile the sooner you will gain enlightenment and start enjoying music instead of sweating over irrelevant crap. http://theaudiocritic.com/plog/ As for amplifier topologies, the...

Only games with EAX support translation to OpenAL in Vista. That's only about ten games out of over 50 on my Vista PC. I don't think any newer games bother with EAX anymore so it is as good as dead.

If he sets the flexijack to lineout shouldn't that give analog over speaker out and lineout too?

Depends which OS you are using as to how the audio console will appear. I use Vista so it is completely different to what you get in XP. What you want to do is find the mixer control settings so you can set the flexijack to be used for lineout. Go to sound in control panel instead of using...

Yea, sure. FF has become one of the slowest browsers there is and I read it had way more security flaws last year than most of the others too. I still use FF but only because of the noscript plugin. Opera had the least security flaws and is way faster than FF too so if you don't care about FF...

If you are on XP there is a free powertoy from Microsot that will do batch resizing for you. I don't think it works on Vista though. This should do it for you though. http://www.irfanview.com/

Combat is good but I don't find it a very interesting RPG.

At the expense of ruining other peoples fun. I don't play to just win any way I can. I play to have fun and winning is just secondary for me. I guess cheating is a side effect of living in an overly competitive society. Some people just have no morals and all that matters is winning. That makes...

I've seen cheaters in the Novalogic games jump a *lot* higher than that.

I don't think they need fast computers at The White House because all they probably use them for is sending email and a bit of web browsing. A 486 would do them. Who knows though, I could see Obama being a PC gamer.

You can get duplicate sound on two ports if you use digital and analog. If you set the digital out port to line out you should get duplicate sound over that port too via analog but I don't for sure because I have never used it that way. I use it as digital out and get sound over it and the...

That's not why. I prefer realistic shooters and bunny hopping just ain't realistic. It's an exploit cheat IMO.

Most people play games at a minimum of 1680x1050 16:10 ratio these days so of course you will get a better frame rate on the same hardware. After reading all the comments I think I'll just wait it out for the gold version when bugs will be fixed, I will get the add-on for same price as game now...

All the Ghost Recon games have no jumping. I think jumping is best done in Red Orchestra where you can jump but it saps your stamina quickly if you attempt to bunny-hop. I hate bunny hoppers in MP games.

Manually assigning a letter is no different than the letter Windows has already assigned to it. You are just giving it a different letter to use. Now, if I assign it a high enough letter that no other device will try to use the same letter then that is a different matter. Or I could just use...

I was right in the first place. You can still get a version of OO without any Java. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2009/02/openoffice_installs_insecure_j.html Update, Feb. 11, 3:09 p.m. ET: The OpenOffice.org security team responded that the newest version of Java caused...

??? That's not even an RPG. I nominate The Witcher too.

Damn, I just spent my monthly gaming budget on FightsimX Gold and Arca Racing Sim. I forgot all about Empire:TW.

Neither. Sword of the Stars is a better game than both. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_of_the_Stars

Use Deepburner fee version to burn the files to the disk and it has a feature to make the disk bootable for you. I've never made one with it but I assume it works as advertised. Might require you to put in a bootable Dos floppy disk or have the Dos boot files in a folder so it can copy those...

Why are you laughing like a clown? There is no option in Vista to make a USB HDD keep a specific drive letter. If there was then that USB Drive Letter Manager software nick8571 posted a link to would never have been needed to be coded in the first place.

OK, thanks. I will get this AudioScrobbler add-on. Latest version of foobar handles music libraries better.

If you can't be bothered to read the articles I posted (they are within the threads I posted) then you are just a waste of my time.

It was a good feature and should have stayed. You know? It doesn't matter what people post about here there is always some zealot who will come along and defend it no matter how stupid a decision it was.

I take other software companies to task too. And I have never had to enter serial codes twice and activate twice for any game I have bought and I buy a lot of them. With Steam games all I have to do is download them and play. Everything else is handled in the background.

Compared to what? I may not really care for the gameplay so much in CoJ but the graphics quality was certainly not on my complaint list. I think it's a very nice looking game compared to most.

Download Alchemy from Creative and run it, it will then show a list of games it can translate from EAX to OpenAL, enable the games in the list and you will have EAX back on Vista for those games that have EAX option.

One of the top ten myths in audio I mentioned before is that tube amps sound better than SS. I tend to agree with that because they may sound different but certainly not better.

$212.00 is the lowest price from Buyarama. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0011UB9CQ/sr=8-1/qid=1236075370/ref=olp_tab_new?ie=UTF8&coliid=&me=&qid=1236075370&sr=8-1&seller=&colid=&condition=new

Oops, just realized I got you mixed up with ashmedai. I was replying to you as if you were him, sorry. Someone called me a troll and ashmedai agreed with him. I have now forgotten why we are even discussing amps when the OP wants good headphones for $200.00. I'm still suggesting Beyerdynamic...

I read a DIY article on room acoustics and the person who wrote it claimed that rigid fiberglass works the best. Just buy some sheets of that and staple it to the walls. http://www.crossroadsci.com/PRODUCTS/ProductCatalog/RigidFiberglassBoard/tabid/73/Default.aspx

Does foobar support last.fm?

Here's what I think it might be. Either your video card has a hardware issue or you need a new PSU because the one you have is not giving quite enough juice to your video card.

Sounds to me like you are a MS lapdog. Everyone has a bone to pick with MS for some reason or another. Just yesterday I installed their latest FlightsimX. Still has the same crap blurry virtual cockpits only now it runs at half the frame rate that FS2004 did. They made me have to activate the...

And yet there is a post from Joey in the software section complaining that the latest Winamp is bloatware so he uses an old 2.x insecure version instead. :p

Yes, I know how to change the drive letter already but in Win9x you could make it permanent so no other drive would take it over. There is no such option in Vista. I guess making it X is a good compromise as no other USB HDD will try to take that letter automatically. Although setting all...

Oh, and it is set to permanently always open the downloads folder so I don't have to do any navigating to find a file when I download it. Lets see you do that with Explorer. I still haven't looked up this "snap" thing so didn't know there was such an option. I do now, thanks.

I tried JetAudio last night and it looks nice but I didn't see any option for plugin support and only option for sound output was 16bit or 32bit. I use wasapi (works sort of like ASIO and gives more direct path to the hardware by bypassing Windows Kmixer) in foobar on Vista so I am already back...
