Quote from bbman :

This may sound dumb, but are you sure you plugged it in correctly? Maybe you mixed up the center/sub plug with the rear one?

Yeah, I checked that a good amount of times since I have a tendancy to do that, checked it all. : /

Since I got my new sound card (company didnt have the one I ordered in stock so I got sent this) I had a wierd problem with my 5.1 speakers, the problem been that I could not get the rear speakers to work at all, I figured "It may just be the speakers, getting a new headset soon, ill see what happens"

So a few days later, I got my headset (Razer Barracuda ac-1 5.1) and the same problem occured, so I fidled for a while and found at that within the 5.1 setting (in the xonar drivers) the rear speakers where known as "rear suround" while in the 7.1 I had "Rear suround" and "rear back (which worked)".


So now for 5.1 I have to set my sound card up for 7.1s settings and I feel this may be causing me to lack some positioning which I could get in game for where people are as it thinks I have 2 extra speakers within my headset, would I be right in thinking this?

Next question:


Within my drivers I have a headphone option which enables dolby headphone, now I know this is ment for emulating suround sound, which I dont exacly need now, but I realy prefer the sound I get out of my headphones...when using the...HEADPHONES setting instead of 5.1/7.1.

(which ofc makes sense)

But like this I wont get usage of all the speakers within the headset if im right? so is there anyway to have all speakers working but have the sound from the headphones setting?

Cheers, Jim.


Edit: Also, is it dodgey that I can only hear the subwoofer when I have rear speakers turned up? Id assume not since the amplifiyer/volume control has front/rear/centre/bass but bass+centre only work in conjuction with front/rear been turned up but im pritty sure its working, I mean after playing around with the bass setting in wmp I can feel the vibration and hear alot lower, so im assuming its "there" once there all on.


Also, is there anyway I can boost the bass nicely? because these headphones are slightly known for having a lack of bass without the hp-1 sound card pair (the ones wich werent in stock)

Well I had a short video with about 10seconds of a Linkin Park song (not even lyrics, just a very staccato guitar sequence) and they came at me and just muted the sound on the video

... Yet the video had 29 views and it had been on for a day...then a video of the actual song that had 4000+ views still hasnt been removed

If you bother to set it up right with a few plugins etc virtual dub is the sex

Quote from mcintyrej :

Yeah, didn't properly release a full movie though - i ran out of demos and contributors before I finished any!

Tbh, If I was skilled enough I'd gief you some
But quite frankly, im not currently been stuck in a failing low/low+ clan In ED kinda explains that

But if you ever continue it I'd love to see the finished product, I'm not exacly the pro video editor either...(learnt how to do demo smooths, like, yesterday?) so like most source radio movies I find it nice to watch things I know Ill never be able to do

Anyway, probs best to stop posting so offtopicly now <3

Just the one vid of me have always tried to do more but never get past filming it on the webcam and then giving up. Lots of fails in there too, intro is out of time until the drums kick in properly.

Caused me to watch your css video which I enjoyed

Im assuming you were slightly involved in the sourceradio scene? due to the of the frags and reconisable names.

edit: sorry for offtopic : )

Quote from Riders Motion :

I would say that Underoath is Christan metal more than death metal hehe.

And to those who say the vids I posted upper are just incomprehensive stuff, watch this one:

Waking The Cadaver - Blood Splattered Satisfaction

Their lyrics can be interpreted in different ways since you really can't understand anything.

PS: They are also a deathcore band. Just to the extreme.

For those who dont have a clue: Deathcore is a slower music with breakdowns while deathmetal is a faster music. They both use the same kind of singing though.

In my opinion thats more grindcore? Its at least touching on it, and in all honesty, blurgh I hate that type of vocals constantly

All shall perish - There is no ... be done on a dead planet

The drumming in that song kills babys with lollypops

Winds of Plague - Decimate the weak

Snyth anyone? (lowquality tbh)

Black Dahlia Murder - Hymn for the wretched

Mayswell add this to:

Amon Amarth - Cry of the black birds

I think its err, viking metal?


Tbh, I find it interesting how I got into this music, I originaly heard BMTH and I was like "Argh, WTF is that" (My music range kinda was only touching Lamb of God at this time) then over time I began to like them, but hated low screams and dispised pig squeels, then again, overtime I started listening to the more lows, I suppose the more "brutal" music If I have to put it like that, however much I hate that statement.

But anyway, it then led on to things like Suicide silence, black dahlia murder, which then led on to All shall perish, which is currently causing Pig squeels to grow on me .

Metalcore just kind of sits in my playlist going "Hai, listen to me! I has sexy riffs" (As I lay dying)

I obviously listen to more than just this, and I listen to alot of post hardcore but these are the main bands which kinda changed my view on deathcore/metalcore/grindcore etc.




For the record, I have a very open music sense and I do listen to my nice bit of techno / w/e sometimes.



Edit:

Quote from The Very End :

Iron Maiden, In Flames, Avenged Sevenfold, Dimmu Borgir, Children of Bodom..

The list is long, but that is some of my favorites. Not sure if they are classified as Metall, maybe more like powermetall / melodic metall, but it's "hard" in hip-hop peoples eyes.

I'm pritty sure Children of Bodom range around the Melodic death metal line?

And OLD A7X stuff was deathcore'ish before M shadows failed to scream correctly and had to go under vocal operations (I think)


Edit2:

For people who havent seen it, this is a good watch, and much better if you ever watched "Just shoot me"

Listen to the damn lyrics!

Quote from obsolum :

So basically just a bunch of servers

Chances are he's sponsered by a server company, I know plenty of clans on css who get free match servers due to sponsers, nice way to save £15 a month on a 11slot 100tick match server with source tv >_>.

All they tend to ask is you advertise them on your website / servers and such

Edit: Ive never realy got into the Cod4 scene tbh, I have it, but ive only ever played a few pub servers, (which kind of screws up my view of the game) and never played competetivly, admitivly it looks pritty, but ive never been able to like it as a competetive game, I play css competetivly (well to a extent...) and I just cant get into cod4.

(to a extent = low+/mid skill playing in a few little leagues and Enemydown)

Basicly I'm planning on getting a new soundcard + headset (the razer Ac-1 and Hp-1 barracuda bundle)

http://www.google.co.uk/search ... G=Google+Search&meta=

now I'm assuming this will just fit into a standard pci slot? (which I'm also assuming is the littler version of my graphics cards pci slot just under it?)

But the other question is: How much of a difference will I hear compared to a built in soundcard which Im currently using with my 5.1 speakers?

I'm not to worried about quality, but more about in game positioning of sounds, (for example css with its 5.1 support) will I hear a massive difference compared to my built in card?



My motherboard is a Asus nvvsta or something, I'll get the actual details if there needed.

Cheers, Jim.

Basicly Im planning on getting the Razer hp-1 Barracuda headset and the AC-1 soundcard, now the cheapest I can find the headset is £55 on amazon, but its from a store linked to amazon.

The store states £60+ (cant quite remember) while amazon stats £55, now If I ordered via amazon would I pay the £55 or the actual store price?

Cheers, Jim

And i'd also like to ask, how much of a difference IS a 5.1 headset to standard headset / 5.1 speakers?


Cheers, Jim.

I agree with the above^, its a bit less realistic than the last 2 seasons, but either way, looks like its gonna be good.

These keyboards just arent CYBORG ENOUGH!

In all honesty, its not that good of a keyboard for £30 but its cool none the less...POINTLESS TOUCHPANEL / GREEN+RED BACKLIGHTING MAKE ME HAPPEH

Quote from pb32000 :

Out of interest, how much does CS4 differ from CS3? As I use CS3 on a daily basis and would rather not relearn the entire thing for a few more features I may never use.

I'd like to ask the same thing, but in relation from cs2 upwards.

How much different are CS3+4?

Games:
Counter Strike Source

CS 1.6

LFS

COD4 Once in a while

...WoW

Software:

Ultramon

Chatzilla (Dont like Mirc)

Firefox

Noscript

Photoshop

Vegas

After effects

Thanks for all the help

But as a quick yes no soluotion, will this work?

This little Fan Controller was such a good buy for me. Having six 120mm fans in my case means it is very noisy and my ASUS P5K can only control 4 of them. Even with Q-Fan enabled they would only go as low as 1000rpm. But this controller lets me take all six down to 600rpm and all the way up to 2000rpm.

The LEDs on the front of the controller are quite bright but they do vary depending on the speed setting and they are quite a 'cool' blue.



For any future buyers this come with alot of stuff:

1 2-1 3pin Splitter Wire

2 4pin Molex to 3pin Wire's

2 3pin Extension Wire's (about 6 inches long)

2 3pin Extensions with RPM sensor's for your motherboard (this means you can control them on the fan controller while still seeing the RPM reading from your motherboard)

It also comes with a 5.25-3.5 inch mounting adpater so you can mount a HDD behind this fan cooler so no space wasted by it!
