I generally get reps that tries to bend me over, then i remind them of the law here and they bend over.   Alas cant use that now lmao

I have not, I guess i should go have a looksie lol.   Also, i got the phones two years.. 3 months ago.. god damn if theyre broken theyre out of warranty.

Any idea where i can get replacement drivers for the 598's?   The left channel on mine has some "rattling" when theres something very bassy going on, but the right side does not.   Im using a sound blaster Z to drive them   Also, i live in denmark, so somewhere here that would sell the...

Hey everyone, im guessing this question has been asked and answered but i tried searching, and googling, no results.   Anyone know how the Nokia/Microsoft WH-308's earbuds/pods that looks a lot like the apple earpods stack up against them?   Reason im asking is because the earpods is very...

You only linked page 2, and my browser didnt show page 1 (noscript D:), so no i i hadent.   However, if this is staying AMD only, its not going to get far i fear

More accurate than binaural? - lol no, binaural is how it would sound in real life if its done correctly, id like to see them do it more accurate than that :D

Yeap, cept that damn bug its pretty much perfect, specially coming from a Xonar DX.

only issue i have is that the headphone port, when set to headphones, is 5.1, and will upmix stereo to 5.1 even if its not supposed to.. other than that, rock solid.   however, dont even try to use linux with them - from what i heard.

Cant drop support on something you never supported!

Im the one who made that post, it just downright baffles me that they just have to mess with the signal like that, for speakers, yeah sure, some people want sound in all their speakers even if the source is 2.0, but its a freaking headphone port, if it gets a stereo signal, why would it ever up...

Ive got the HD598's and i use 23% windows volume, although, my foobar is at 20% on top of that.

  Or the line-out's to be available on the headphone port :D (like stereo that dosent revert to 5.1 all the time :p)

Dosent have anything to do with the add-on card, you just need to have the Extras installed (DTS and Dolby), else they dont show up ofcourse :) I have the tab aswell with my regular Z, which obviously does not have a the DBPro card

Actually i never have that on.. ever :p

Seems it does, god damn it, lol. Edit; If i disable everything in SB control panel, it has sounds, but oh god the massive bass, if i enable the bass there, nobass :D Edit2; Its still massive surround when you disable everything though.. so no dice there Which compoments do you keep when...

tried that, you dont get vocals in movies most of the time :\

Aye, me too since i tried that several times Tried this; uninstall drivers - >clean ->reboot ->clean ->reboot -Install new drivers -> reboot -> set to stereo in windows using the headphone port (set to headphones in creative control panel) -> Sleep -> wake -> it resets to 5.1 Tried that about 8...

Still reverts back to 5.1 with the Headphone port for me.. sigh

new betas got out the 3rd, gonna try them later.. creative gets an F in patch notes. >>

I think they used the 5.1(default) option with the headphone port, althought the line-out has slightly better overall quality, so if you have an amp.. no reason to use headphone port at all :p

And after all that if you go into Windows Sound, and right click your main output device (for me it just says speakers on Sound Blaster Z) and hit configure, its on 5.1 and not 2.0/stereo, thats the issue were having, you can set it to to 2.0/stereo, but once you reboot/wave from sleep, it...

yes, youre wrong, you can set it to stereo/2.0 in windows sound, but it resets back to 5.1 when you reboot or wake from sleep (for 90% or so of users.)

from all comments ive seen of people who tried both, it is not the same, despite the UI being the same but with different colors

Thru studio is not the same as SBX Surround apparently, so it cant really be compared like that @maker, As far as i know, its just the line out being ruined by speaker setup, the headphone port is fine, if you like 5.1, its annoying if you dont, as it resets on reboot and sleep to 5.1, but...

as for the fix to it resetting to 5.1.. just reinstalled windows and now it dosent work for me anymore God damnit creative.
