Hi aKeio, how much is the Titanium HD? Seems you had a good deal. PM me the details.
Hi everyone so I just picked up AKG q701's and I'm looking for a proper setup for gaming and music.
I have nothing except onboard sound from realtek so I will be needing a new soundcard I assume?
I have something of an idea that I need to get a soundcard, a dac, and an amp but I don't know what kinds I should be looking for to pair with the q701's.
Titanium HD seems to be the thing to get?
I love that post. Nameless should really add that info to the front page...
Just picked up a Titanium HD the other day for a good deal and I've been running into some issues, hopefully someone here could help me out.
In game mode, sometimes I'm experience static/sound distortions through my audio. This more or less happens the most often when I am alt-tab'ed out of the game I'm in and there is audio from a background application, i.e. Skype. It generally resolves itself when I alt-tab back into the game, though I've had it happen when I accidentally left it in game-mode and watched some videos on YouTube. I was playing around with the settings when it does occur and toggling OFF CMSS-3D seems to resolve the issue, but I kind-of bought the card for CMSS-3D so disabling is kind of against the point.
Anyone?
FWIW:
Windows settings are set to 5.1
X-Fi settings are set to headphone, game mode, CMSS-3D ON,
I tried doing the trick by SniperCzar, where you enable "What U Hear" to output the sound to my Fiio E07k and it was working at first. However after taking a short break and coming back to my desk it just plain stopped working. I've gone back and forth switching on/off the "listen to this device" check box, disabling the "What U Hear" device, checked if the usb port still worked, switched usb cables, switched to the headphone out to make sure it was playing sounds, restarted my computer, and I have no idea how to get it to work again. I feel like I've tried everything. Really unfortunate because I thought this was going to be a cool way of getting around only being able to use spdif dacs.
EDIT: I should also note that I was doing this on my Soundblaster Z and was switching around between sbx surround, regular stereo, and EAX in BF2142. Everything was working beautifully until I got back home... Never leaving home ever again.
Hi people, I have connected my Soundcard (Soundblaster Z) to the Astro mixamp via optical toslink, Then to my AKG's, do you know if I am hampering sound quality by doing this? Should I connect my AKG's to the 3.5mm jack on the Soundcard instead?
