So that mic fix is not going to work for me! I sent an email to creative but they didn't reply nor acknowledged the mail. It's the same when I go in the sound properties.ĭo you guys have any clue to what I could do ? I've checked the "Creative microphone settings fix" and it was "on". When I go to the creative console and want to tick "DDL", I can't. The configuration doest output PCM 2.0 but doesn't output Dolby Digital Live anymore. The X-FI is connected to my laptop via USB, then it's either connected through optical cable to a small Onkyo 5.1 amp when I play on desktop or connected to a Denon through optical cable when I want to play on my TV. My X-FI was used to output DDL for my games.
I only use the Realtek chipset when I want to use my onboard speakers. I've got an Asus Rog G72VS laptop with a Realtek chipset. The last time I used it, the Dolby Digital Live function was working perfectly, but now it only outputs pcm stereo over usb. Http /http /The best way is to go in showroom and listen to some audio systems using your kind of music.It's been a while since I did not use my external sound card on my laptop. Http /http /If you listen a large spectre of music (rock, jazz, opera, disco and so on), then the way to go is an amplifier and some stand-alone speakers the audio quality and the power will blow you away (but also your budget will blow away, unless going for the second-hand market.): You have a 2.0 system, which you said is lacking on power what music do you listen? For powerful bass, I recommend an 2.1 system or an 5.1 system: Oh well, I failed to observe that you said in the first post about your speakers, sorry about that.įor movies it is highly recommended a surround speakers system (4.1, 5.1, 7.1 home cinema or receiver).įor music, the default is using a good 2.0 or 2.1 system (most audio is still in stereo format). The Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro is a small black box that connects to a desktop or notebook PC via USB to upgrade it to a THX TruStudio Pro entertainment system with 5.1. Http /I'm using Creative Gigaworks T40 II speakers, that's why I asked if it was my speakers holding me back, perhaps I'm using them at their limit already? Http /(for this card you also must have a decent quality power supply unit -PSU- because it needs an auxiliary power connection from a floppy connector) What speaker system do you have? The main problem is that USB cards do not have enough power to amplify the 5.1 audio signal to the proper levels for any PC speaker system or amplifier, so you would be better served by an add-on card (PCI or PCI-E): sample rate 24bit/192kHz (higher fidelity) Your onboard audio is a Realtek ALC887 from the specs alone it is on par with the Creative X-Fi USB:
I just found the info for the audio chip on my mobo and it's an 8 channel HD, could that mean that my speakers are the thing holding me back?
