Hey guys. I am rocking a pair of ATH-A700s with my titanium HD, and things sounds great. Unfortunately, I am having trouble on the microphone end. My Zalman mic is very faint even when at max volume, and as the titanium HD has no mic boost it can go no higher. I tried using my onboard for the...

I will be using the card primarily for gaming, and as I understand it the forte is basically THE card for that purpose. The general consensus I hear is that you need the x-fi technology for the performance increase, and the forte has the best sound of any x-fi based card.

Looks like some shipments of Auzentech cards are due in the coming weeks. That is pretty good news for me- been waiting almost 6 months for the forte to get back in stock!   http://www.auzentech.com/site/company/pressrelease_12062010_sound_card.php   My question is whether I should...

Is there any sort of time horizon? Figure I'll just take my chance with the metal if there is no expected date to speak of.

Quote: That said, is the post above indicating that a plastic bracket version is on the horizon accurate?

Hey guys,   Finally decided to bite the bullet and get the forte, but it seems like prices are steadily growing and the product is out of stock at various locales. My googling showed that people are divided on whether it is because new fortes aren't being made or if there are just stock...

For the most part the audio I have tested thus far has been from youtube, five or so different songs. I downloaded one of the songs from an alternate location and still heard crackles in similar places.   It might be useful to see if others hear the crackles for the the same clips. Did some...

First of all, thanks again for all the help provided in the previous thread that helped me decide on these. Unbelievably comfortable, and a real treat on the ears. However...   I've noticed a very faint crackle when listening to certain sections of audio. I am not much of an audiophile, and...

My one concern from Amazon is that it does not explicitly mention the manufacturer warranty. All other Amazon products I have ordered have it explicitly stated somewhere, if one applied.   While buydig is certainly no Amazon, it does have a good reseller rating and a 2 year warranty on the...

Thanks for the replies guys, just doing some price hunting now. Looks like the refurbed fortes are out of stock, so I'll probably wait on those.   Did have a final question on the 700's though. Was looking at the finer details of the a700 and saw it comes with batteries.  ...

Hey guys, after much forum mining, I feel I am about ready to pull the trigger and get. However, I wanted to verify my understanding of a few things, and see if anyone had some alternative suggestions to offer.   While I enjoy listening to music and movies, gaming will be the primary...

To be fair, I might not have run in through its paces enough in non-game settings. I listed to an MP3 and an online video without noticing anything and moved on to game testing.

Hey guys, thanks in advance for any pointers you can offer. Specs: CPU: E8500 Ram: 8GB OS: Windows 7 MOBO: Asus P5Q Pro Headset: Speedlink Medusa 5.1 Card: Asus Xonar DX Issue 1: Proper 5.1 setup. This one is mostly to check that my understanding is correct. Per this thread, when...
