    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

      SBX doesn't have OpenAL and Eax games support? Oh damn :(   Oh well, guess I'll stay with the Titanium (It's the Non HD version by the way)

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Is SBX pro an upgrade compared to CMSS-3D? I still have an old X-Fi Titanium that I'm feeding through line out to my O2 Amplifier (And then to my Headphones)   Is it worth the money to upgrade?

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Small question:   I have a X-Fi Titanium, and as such, I use the Creatives OpenAL driver. Should I use the Rapture3D or OpenAL Soft implementation? Even if I lose hardware acceleration? It seems everyone says the HTRF is better in those implementations than Creative's

    Yeah it seems I'll have to take the bite for other audio applications though. Automode switcher is also buggy as hell. Also, shouldn't WASAPI send audio directly to the DAC bypassing CMSS-3D? Right now, it seems it's going through the HTFR filters, even with WASAPI (Foobar in this case)

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Hey guys I have a question:   If CMSS-3D is set to Headphones + 7.1 sources (in Windows) and I play a stereo source, does it get any type of processing ? I ask this because whenever I hear music, swapping configs is bothersome. For example, for audio the best setting is Audio Creation Mode +...

    Quote:   Got it. I've been investingating, and it seems Source games use OpenAL only on the MacOSX and Linux implementations. For Windows they use MILES. It seems the only way to get great Surround for headphones is to use the 7.1/7.1 -> CMSS 3D method right?

    Modding the Sennheiser pc350 headset

    I've been reading the thread but I couldn't reach a conclusion: My PC350 is modded, and I need new ear pads since mine are falling apart already. I didn't understand if I should get the HD595 pads (Which are more open) or the PCX450 pads (Which are more closed)   Is it true that the...

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Quote:     Is the Audioengine D1 DACs one of the best at that price point? Also, if I link the Soundcard and the DAC through Optical, I'm basically skipping the DAC and the amplifier, everything else works the same (CMSS3D, Bit-perfect playback, etc etc)   I really might take the...

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Quote:   I have the Titanium (Non HD) I have thought about getting an external DAC (for controling sound with a knob and to drive the headphones better), but I was always a bit reluctant due the two jacks my headphones have. It would stay a messy build.

    The Nameless Guide To PC Gaming Audio (with binaural headphone surround sound)

    Hello there! My setup is as follows:   Senheiser PC350 X-Fi Titanium  Windows 8 (24-bit 96 kHz option)   I understand that the best option for music is to select Audio-Creation mode and bit-matched playback. I understood as well the whole aspect of setting the windows source as...

    Modding the Sennheiser pc350 headset

    Good Afternoon, I'm a proud owner of the PC350 for a year now, but I'm feeling the need for my bass, I've managed to survive without until now by sheer will power. But I have a problem with this, I have no idea how to open my Headset. I just want to do 1 small hole in each because I noticed...
