  Random Q but do you guys think we'll ever see a Vali 2?  

 
If they do, I hope they make it with "conventional" tubes that you can roll easily.

That would be really nice of them, but they may use it as an entry to tube sound and if u want to roll tubes u have to upgrade. That would be my idea if it was my company anyhow.

I'd want it to have the brushed aluminum of the M2U, and have a gain switch.

What I'd really like to see from Schiit is a Vali replacement that uses a 12AU7. That's a pretty solid tube and would be a great "gateway" amp for the tube sound. Maybe offer a "solid state tube" for it like the other ones.

I would love that. Love, LOVE the Vali.

NO, not conventional tubes. The allure for me is that the Vali is as good as it gets, with tubes that have near solid state time lifespan. I don't care how much better tubes can be if I have to deal with swapping eventually, or having to stress about which tubes are better, etc. There are a MILLION tube amps with rollable tubes. Get those instead. Leave the Vali for those who just want a product that works as intended out of the box, without worrying what tubes may be better, or when the tubes will die.

It would be dope to write a book on the history of audio in videogames. I have a writing background, so my output would be slightly better than amateurish (though admittedly, not by much).

Many of you have either a wealth of knowledge, or are good writers, or both.

Just throwing it out there in case any of our experts here like the idea and are interested in a collaboration.

I don't really have time to do this at the moment, but it could be fun.

Check out Nameless's Guide to PC Gaming. A lot of valuable info there regarding videogame audio

I'd dig that 

I might base my bachelor thesis on something similar

I did a videogames-related thesis for my master's thesis, expecting to go on for my PhD, but I changed gears. This made my thesis kind of an awkward topic in job interviews,lol.

Hi there guys,
 
I'm just hoping someone can help me out with some issues I am having getting mic output on the PS4.
 
So I have a 2011 Mixamp connected via optical cable to the PS4 and usb powered through AC.
 
I have a Y splitter cable connected to the audio jack on the mixamp.
 
Connected to the spiitter cable are my AD700x headphones and a Sony Lavalier mic.
 
I am able to hear chat audio and game audio through the cans, however no there is no outgoing mic audio.
 
Anyone know how to fix this?
 
I have the exact same issue on the Xbox One as well.
Thank you.

The problem is, there is no actual connection between Your microphone and the consoles. Connect the Mixamp via USB to the PS4 or buy a PS4 Chat cable like this one:

Thanks for the reply. 
 
Initially I had assumed that as well, however I connected the usb to the PS4 to make sure and nothing had actually changed.

First Mixamp model does not have USB chat function

Looks like this.
 
Later models do. If You have a first generation Mixamp, buy PS4 chat cable (works with Xbox too)

 

[confusedpsyduck]

Thanks a lot. It's not the first one, but it is similar in design.
 
I'll check out the cable.
 
Btw, do you know if this mixamp has eq settings? Mine didn't come with any literature, so I wasn't sure.

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

I wasn't aware you could hear yourself in chat ever on the Mixamp. I don't remember if that's even a thing.
