You need your source player to resample to 192k, thats the downside really - you get no windows sounds/games/etc.

If you use foobar you can have it resample to 96/192 and then you will get sound with patchmix set to the higher values.

ah. so it's itunes' fault. i dont think they upsample. bah.

The new drivers seem to be working fine for me with my Audigy 2. Update at your own risk, though.

I made the mistake of putting the resample at the top of the dsp stack. be sure to put the pphs at the end of the stack. the high's do seem more open; but it may just be the placebo talking. :|

You actually want the resampling as high in the chain as possible (refer to the hydrogenaudio forum for a proper explanation). You may wish to have an equalizer/convolver above it, however, depending on how the two sounds in your opinion (the placement of and equalizer with a resampler makes a big difference).

Can you give us details on how you upgraded? Did you just install new drivers, then patchmix, and do nothing else? If thats the case then I'm gonna chance it in a bit.

The only other thing I did was that at the start of the driver install, it asks if you want to save the old drivers for rollback, so I did that. Then it rebooted (which took considerably longer than normal) and installed the new drivers. Then I updated Patchmix. Seems to work ok for me.

Going to try now, if it doesn't work I'm gonna die

Edit2:

Noticing issues now. My bass control for my audigy is greyed out and can not be changed anymore. WHen I game there's too much bass in it and sounds pretty bad. I might have to rollback

That's strange, whenever I clicked to back my drivers up, I didnt have to reboot.

I noticed, that you only use your audigy 2 for your HD280s?? No multi-channel speakers? So i'm assuming you want to keep the audigy 2 for 'gaming' or something like that? Have you tried the 0404 for games? I tossed my audigy 2 out when I got my 1212m, made no difference in games except for surround sound positioning. EAX is overated.

Why else would anyone purchase an Audigy?

Multichannel gaming effects, ignorance, not caring, using pc speakers.

If your only using 2 channel, no reason to use one.

 

[Distroyed]

Oh yes, the ignorance factor.

 

[Asmo]

lol.

Well, just saying, some people may not think to even try their games without the audigy, I kept mine on hand just in case, and never had to use it, then gave it away.

I find running pc speakers thru on-board sound works easier than trying to get audigy + emus to live together, if you want something cheaper to send pc sounds through, voice chat etc I use it for, I don't like ventrilo coming out of my bookshelves its way too loud.

I seem to be getting worse RMAA performance at 24/192, than at lower sampling rates with these drivers. I posted the results over at E-MU's forums here.

Anyone knows why?
