first of happy new yearsss!!!!!!! [H] rocks the 06!~anyways I rushed home ( drnk ) from a party just to watch the ball drop w/ my dad, but anyways....im bout toe play CSS and i noticd that when you swtich btweeen ent. mode and game mode, theres a huge decrease in sound qualty. Try doing it hwen music is playing and ull deff notice. even when games are oplaying, the highs seem to be lacking. i set the options ( eq,3dcmss,etc.. ) to the same stuff as entertain mode but the diff is still pretty bigl.
 
judging by your description "highs seem to be lacking" it probably go down to 22000 Hz or maybe lower, wich should give slightly better performance.. I remember you could do that in older games.. now it just sucks since the performance hit is so small on modern computers. See if you can find some options for game mode to change it
 
I noticed the main difference in my settings came from the bass redirection option for game mode. I wish I could use that in entertainment mode too...

edit: I found it in the THX console, Audio creation mode doesn't support Bass management.

What is bass redirection? What should I set it to for Klipsch Ultra 5.1s?
 
Bass Management is for creating an LFE channel for a subwoofer from the audio stream. The Klipsch ProMedias, like any multimedia rig, has one built in, so it should be off.

It's for outputting to HT receivers or active monitors. The +15dB Subwoofer Gain should also then be enabled to address an old issue for these.
