I'm looking for a budget gaming card and it appears as though the best options are either the sb live 24 bit or the audigy 2 value. Which is better? Thanks.

i've been thinking of building a cmoy for my mp3 player as it's got pathetic output power. i've read over some of the plans and i'm pretty confused, i've not done any work with electronics for many many years lol. it says i can build a cmoy for around 20 bucks. I already have some parts sitting...

I recently did a big computer uprade and everything went smoothly except for one thing. I get skipping in my music and on occasion in games. It appears to happen entirely at random. I'm using a sb live 5.1 as my primary card right now...I've tried reinstalling the drivers to no avail. I thought...

nm I figured out everything myself.

Question for all you gamers here. What is the best command&conquer? I used to have a lot of fun with Red Alert: Retaliation for psx back in the day. I've heard some of the ones after that aren't that good..I played a little bit of the tiberian sun demo and I didn't really care for the futuristic...

The right driver on my koss ur20s is rattling to hell. I looked at it and it doesn't seem to be anything in them...like hairs or dust. What does this mean? They aren't really music headphones but my gaming phones. Thanks.

Whenever I boot up my computer I can't even get any sound unless I turn high sample rate off then back on in the audio deck. Any one know what's up with this? Just started a few days ago it seems...and it's annoying as I don't boot audio deck on startup. Thanks.

There's virtually no information on it though...what there is isn't in english. A quick google search though reveals stores have it available soon. Supposedly the A2ZS was supposed to be the audigy 3 I'm guessing. http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4006681...

Seriously what the heck is up with that? I was just using an onyko receiever and at 20% volume the 555s were at normal volume. To get the same volume with the 497s I had to set it at 40%? Very odd...the 555s are easiser to drive but at the same time they're not... I never realized how dry and...

Are there any players out there that can rival the chaintech av710? I'm getting tired of using my computer as a source...with the loud cpu fan and all. I may be able to get a used player for pretty cheap I'm thinking. You can get lucky if you look around. My JB1 quite frankly sounds like crap...

Do you use firefoxs tabbed browsing feature? I'm just starting to get into it myself. I think it's truly awesome. You just click mouse 3 on a link and the page you are on stays the same and it puts up a tab that loads the link page ahead of time. You just click on the tabs to go back and forth.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/BUSINESS/09/....ap/index.html Looks like they've finally decided to take their head outta their ***. Maybe with enough marketing they could be a serious competitor in the mp3 player market.

http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Review...SQUEEZEBOX.php Just saw this...I've been thinking about eventually getting one of those. Thought you guys would be interested.

I just swapped out my radio shack line out to MM 1/8" and it sounds a lot better. My source is in my sig...remember even when I had my sb as my source? Well I had said that when I started using the radio shack cables, I noticed an ever so slight harshness in treble? Well with the chaintech...

I have a pretty noob setup...obviously. I was just trying to listen to my portable again...it's been gathering dust. Haven't used it in a long time. I've gotten so used to good quality sound(even if my stuff is still mediocre), I noticed it sounds like freaking awful. Not just mediocre, but...

What do you use as an equalizer for movies? I still cannot find one that I can use with media player classic Well I found one that could be used as a plugin, but it crackled. http://www.tfm.ro/audiofilter/2frames.html That's the one. I looked on google as well but no real luck. Thanks.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ch_creative_dc Hehe funny that their market share of sound cards is on the decline...other companies have really dealt them a blow, since people have figured their cards suck. I hate apple more than creative, so I would love to see the ipod knocked...

http://www.cnet.com/ The video for the new acrchos player. Man that look awesome. It's a real shame ign doesn't do reviews anymore...

Am I the only one who notices this? What I must be crazy...I used to think it was because the darkness put me closer to the music but...I'm not so sure. Music just sounds better at night...there is no doubt in my mind. Is there an explanation for this?

Well I thought I might get one since I seemed to have been able to work out the pci slot space problem. I just have a few questions about it...how much of an improvement would it be over my current soundcard? How much power does the headphone(or lineout) supply and what's the power output...

Ever notice how names reflect personalites? It's like sometimes when I see someone I could guess their name based by how they look and carry themselves and have a good chance of being correct. I found this site before that had a huge database of names and personalites. Every member of my family...

What are some good music videos? I have a decent collection but they are starting to get old. I'm not really into the whole shallow rock thing, if you get my meaning. I like stuff that has some depth and sounds good. Some of my favorite stuff is by the red hot chilli peppers,some...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...&s=pc&n=507846 Thought I'd share. I don't have the money right now for one, but it's a wonderful deal. Not as easy to use as the ipod but still better, removable battery and all that.

What do you think of the band nirvana back in the day? That is a band that just won't seem to go away. I listened most of their stuff out...it's lost the shock value but it's still awesome. Still on of my favorite bands. They have done one of the best concerts in history, Unplugged In New York...

All I gotta say is lol. I swapped them for her ur20s for the isolation. Now she doesn't wanna give them back. She said they are much more defined and clean sounding. Seems like she's enjoying live concerts a lot more. My brother also said the 555s sound damn close to perfect after I let him...
