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.

My ears just can't do earbuds, so use these for all of my physical activities: http://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable-Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1251066283&sr=8-1

Well, because of WASAPI output, I need the PC volume at 100%, and Foobar is set at anywhere between 50-75%. As for switches, there is only one for high/low gain, meant for higher impedance headphones.

Okay, I didn't notice this until today, but my music sounds different depending on the volume I have my devices set at. There is my PC (Foobar via WASAPI), Fubar III, then M-Audio AV40 (I have the headphone amp in the middle because I use my headphones a lot). Obviously, when I make either...

I do get stuttering on cold boots only. Even if I restart my computer immediately once into Windows (both Vista and 7 x86-64), the problem is resolved. It's really weird, and games have the issue, as well as scrolling in Firefox while audio/video is playing. It drives me insane. And it's NOT...

I've only had this issue with a wired keyboard once. And with wireless mice, a lot. It's most likely to do with a messed up electrical signal from the keyboards end, or if you are using onboard sound the USB port could be not shielded well or something. Do you have a USB port on the front...

I was thinking about having something like that for myself, but I'm worried that the stuff inside the plastic drawer will vibrate or make other weird noises at louder volumes... Have you experienced any of that?

Just got the Fubar III in the mail, and after hooking it up, all I can say is wow... I wasn't really expecting to hear much of a difference between it and the X-Fi right away, but I definitely can. The first thing I've noticed is that the lower ends on my AV40 sound cleaner. I was satisfied the...

That's actually pretty cool. Better than my stack of DVD game cases, lol.

Meh, I bit the bullet and bought the Fubar III. Will be here by Friday. I love dealing with people (rather than corporations) that only live an hour away. :D

Okay, I've been recently trying to think things out on what the next step of my audio evolution will be. I currently have an X-Fi XtremeMusic, as well as an M-Audio AV40 and ATH-AD700. Everything sounds fine and nice, however as some people may have read in other posts I have made, I get weird...

Yup, should work. My bro has the same speakers hooked up to a PS2 that exact way, but his speakers came with that adaptor, so there was no extra purchase.

Would a banana holder be sufficient to hold up both "wires" of the AD700, or just one?

An Antec TruePower 2.0, 550W

What? They definitely have adequate bass, and if it's not enough, there is a switch for a boost of the lower frequencies. Sure, it can't replicate the awesomeness of a dedicated sub, but unless you are a bass nut, they do the job.

Nope, Intel P35 chipset.

I have crackling issues under various video card usage, but this seems to be a weird flaw with the nVidia drivers and my system. For example, when scrolling in Firefox maximized, my music will stutter like hell and things will chug. Odd thing is, it ONLY does this on a cold boot (if I restart...

I've only had this problem when playing my bass (using headphones) for extended periods of time. I have no idea why. One thing you may want to try, is if using them on the PC, use a crossfeed or some other method to reduce the stereo effect, making the sound a bit more natural. Although the...

I bought mine in CDN dollars at a local store, and as per norm, I got shafted. Ended up being $180 Canadian. *sigh* At least it was cheaper than having them shipped.

That thing looks sexy... Especially compared to my ghetto lamp 'stand'

Yup, I can confirm the speakers come with the necessary cables, so no need to worry.

Yeah, the AV40s are solid. When I first plugged them in, they didn't sound too great, but after a few days of burning them in, they sounded brilliant. Essentially, the bass was initially a bit too muddy or something, but having them work tightened them up.

I get an unbearable hum. I had the ground connected to my PC case as mentioned, and experimented by removing the ground, and the drone drove me insane, haha. No, plus I'm in an apartment, and that sort of thing is a no no (yay for student life). I have a simple one from Radio Shack that does...

So, I got my hands on a 30ish year old Technics SL-3200 in great shape with a brand new cartridge and hooked it up to my computer via a small 9V powered preamp. Connecting it went all fine and dandy, but I'm left with the ground wire that I don't know what to do with. I was originally planning...

The design for the AD700 is SUPPOSED to be loose. I remember the first time I put them on, I was totally like WTF and hated them. But after using them for a few days, they were the comfiest things I have ever put in my head (my ears are sensitive to superficial pressure). I My only complaint was...

This might be a silly question, but does anybody know exactly what material the earpads and headband are? I plan on getting these for a friend, but she's vegan, so real leather would be a no go.
