Hey guys, got a question regarding compatibility!
I bought a 5Hv2 Mouz edition some time ago, but after using it I noticed that I had to REALLY crank up the volume on my Z-5500 (connected to X-Fi Fatal1ty) while gaming. Also, the mid sounds awfully sharp! Hence, would buying the Siberia USB soundcard fix this? And if so, would it be compatible with the 5Hv2? If not, I guess I have to purchase the 5Hv2+USB set. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Dec 4 2009, 11:49 PM) are u sure the prob isnt the Z-5500? tried plugging the 5hv2 direct into the soundcard? I don't think it's the speaker console dude, cuz plugging in a regular headphone worked fine. I've not tried it, but if I were to directly plug into the soundcard, can I still achieve the "5.1" surround if I were to connect to the front speaker jack? There are 3 jacks btw on the soundcard- front (green), center (amber), rear (black). |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Dec 5 2009, 09:31 PM) plus the 5hv2 doesnt come with front/rear/etc jacks, just stereo and mic jacks as its essentially a stereo headset...so how u gonna get surround sound from a pci card? So... back to my original question unless ur pci card outputs everything into one single 3.5mm slot.  Is the Siberia usb soundcard compatible with the 5Hv2? |
