Audio-gd USB-32 Firmware, Drivers, and Feedback Thread
Hey thanks but I actually ended up getting a response from Kingwa with the link. I already updates the firmware and to the new drivers v2. Everything is good now except YouTube in chrome still stops playing with my 15.32 selected. Anyway I don't think they use different via chips for their...- DJINFERNO806

Audio-gd USB-32 Firmware, Drivers, and Feedback Thread
Can someone on here PM me the firmware update tool or send it to my email? I have tried emailing audio gd but I believe they are on Chinese New Year holiday and wont respond for a while. Im having issues with my 15.32 in windows 10. The sound cuts out after a few minutes of playing any audio...- DJINFERNO806

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Well so much for being hyped. Just as I was about to order this morning, the shipping to any addresses besides USA is no longer available. As it turns out AKG doesn't want to ship internationally anymore. Even to friggin Canada. I am extremely disappointed they would do this mid campaign. Makes...- DJINFERNO806

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Definitely jumping on this. Been waiting forever for K712's to go down in price. This seems to be almost exactly the same performance wise. Should replace my DT770s 250ohm nicely. Ready for open headphones. Been gaming on closed for too long.- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
In terms of specs, I wouldn't worry about them too much. I highly doubt you'll be using any audio sources that are even 24 bit or higher than 48khz especially if the omni is mostly for gaming. You also won't benefit from the extra bit rate and sampling frequency by just setting windows to that...- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
This is also misinformation. Your cpu will hardly feel a difference regardless of where the processing is done. Windows audio session api handles the mixing and won't induce much overhead. Nothing a modern cpu won't do with just 1% usage. Lastly, the S/N means nothing with the sbz because the...- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
I think you are confusing yourself with your question to the rep and also his answer. You asked him if the hardware was the same? Hardware meaning the SPU, the Soundcore3D. Which it is, the processor hasn't changed at all. And given creative R&D costs, it won't for a while, they will continue...- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
Funny enough, I recently bought an MSI gs70 stealth pro 2 gaming notebook and it came with the sound blaster suite too. I compared it to my z on my main pc and came to the same conclusions you did. I will say though it seems to be done in software due to the lack of a soundcore chip. I actually...- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
Just to clarify you don't need the daughter board to fully utilize the zxr for analogue out functions. The only missing options are related to the digital in and out and line in. I don't think anyone has ever stated the opposite that I have ever seen. I myself used my zxr without a...- DJINFERNO806

Something must have been seriously wrong with your setup as the DAC and line out objectively should sound the same at least(being conservative here) if not much better. Perhaps you just got used to the sound signature of your old card and that's what you prefer. Happens all the time really.- DJINFERNO806

Ya just make sure your motherboard can send it through digital. There should be an option for stereo downmix somewhere.- DJINFERNO806

You came to the right place bud! Currently Salx, genclaymore and I all use our z's optical out to our headphone amps/DACs. Not sure what else I could say except it worked flawlessly when sending stereo mixed PCM with all the effects out. Never had any issues so far. SBX surround will work...- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
The reason why creative's driver defaults to limited range speakers in windows was given back in this thread somewhere. Like a year ago or so I think. A creative rep had some reason for it to do with the way virtual surround needs to be processed. No sound is getting cut as the info for the...- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
Well forget dolby. Never understood the need for that in a game engine on PC with analogue out. I would say surround since headphone would most likely be a stereo mix with a bit of tweaking to direction and dynamic range like all other game headphones modes. Be sure to use these settings...- DJINFERNO806

Funny thing when I took my z shield off, only one of the caps were nichicon gold, the others were g luxon. Not that I care as I highly doubt you would hear a difference. And g luxon aren't going to blow up on you randomly. Just thought it was weird.- DJINFERNO806

Creative Sound Blaster new series Z, Zx & ZxR
I wouldn't even spend the money on the zx either. Waste the ACM is in my opinion. I would rather control volume digitally through windows by keyboard shortcuts or hot keys. And the mic in the z is more flexible in its position . On another note I finally got around to taking off the god awful...- DJINFERNO806

Why are you using sbx with 5.1 speakers? You should already have a perfectly imaged surround effect. The only thing you might want sbx for would be to upmix your stereo sources to surround or surround stereo. If that's your thing. Speakers and sbx get really borked if you install speaker setup...- DJINFERNO806

Ya the z has a really low noise floor from my experience. Trust me I crank my games and music up loud. I'd go with the magni ihavewormss(seriously every time I read your name I laugh to myself). Its got the lowest output impedance, most power and great price. I'd take the sound of the magni...- DJINFERNO806
