If you are talking about pop and click sounds, I'm experiencing them too and they have been reported several times already in the SoundBlasterOfficial subreddit. What I've noticed though, is that they only appear when I activate SBX or Scout Mode. If the G6 is in stereo mode, no pops and clicks...

I see, thanks. Just out of curiosity, why does it also work if I choose optical? What's the reason behind it?

Hey everyone! Bumping this thread for a new question: If my PS3 (applies to PS4 as well) is connected to the TV via HDMI and the TV is connected to the soundbar via optical, when setting up console audio, should I pick HDMI or optical? Thanks!

I have an original PS4 and a slim PS3. Since I'm currently using the PS3, I ended up connecting it to the soundbar via optical cable. I guess I'll do the same once I move back to the PS4. Regarding PS3 audio settings, there isn't much to do: I think I can only choose 2.1 PCM given that it's a...

My soundbar doesn't have that option as far as I know. Oddly enough though, when digital audio is set to PCM on the TV, there's an option to mess around with audio delay; however, this is pretty pointless because when the TV is set to PCM, there's never audio delay. In the end, I ended up...

I've tried all possible settings I can think of but it seems that no matter what I do, as long as the TV is set to Digital audio out "Auto" there's always some delay. Only setting the TV to PCM removes the delay. It's a shame though cause the sound produced with "Auto" on is a lot crisper. An...

It could be. Unfortunately there's no info regarding that. How do you think this is solvable? Switching to auto really decreases sound quality in my opinion. Maybe changing the ps4 settings?

As per title, I want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my soundbar, meaning that everything is set up correctly. I have searched the web extensively looking for answers but I'm afraid that due to my setup there are things that are still unclear to me, so I'm here asking for help. Let's...

Thank you both for your input. The reason why I'm asking is that the PS3 is not listed among the supported consoles. The same applies to the 360.

Hey guys, since I can't find this info anywhere, does anyone know/has anyone tested if the Creative Sound BlasterX G6 works with a PS3?

Has anyone tested the brand new astro mixamp tr? Are there any reviews somewhere? After the huge disappointment of the previous TR model I'd like to know what this new model is like in terms of surround sound...

So if it makes little to no difference I may as well connect it through optical to save an HDMI port, right?

Hello everyone, I was recently given the Sony soundbar ht-ct291 as a gift. It also includes a wireless subwoofer. You can read its full specs here. I was wondering whether I should set it up through an HDMI or through an optical cable. From what I've read online it seems that HDMI is preferred...

So what's the verdict? I can't seem to find any comparison between the g6 and the x7 from a surround sound viewpoint.

Hey everyone, from a pure surround sound perspective, which device is better for gaming between the g6 and the x7?
