lol i just noticed that GundamManiac also dont have vibration from the headphone.

after using >80 hours, the sound produced is improving. i honestly thought this whole burning thingy is just... placebo..

any significant improvement when use it with and without that Soundcard?

very good review you have there sir, but may i ask few more questions?


this is about Xonar + Audio Technica isn't it?


is this soundcard good for gaming to?? sound blaster x-fi surround 5.1.

thanks!

oh maii~

gonna buy that tomorrow!

anyway, for that external soundcard that mainly for gaming purpose, it surely will improve the quality of sound produced for listening to songs compared to default built-in sound chipset in mobo right? because its a waste if the improvement is limited to certain usage only..

just brought Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 USB but getting hard time to setting it!

it keep playing with my lappy speaker instead of Kave.

any idea why?

forgive my noobness, but care to explain in more details?

it solved now. need to spend some time with this setup before throwing some comments

done.


done.


where is the source of vibration actually? cause i felt none.. guess my item is really have problem..

tried, still negative.

already contact with my seller for arrangement to check my Kave.

yep. tried. i turn the knob till my ear nearly burst. but in the high volume, i can hear something shaking... maybe the same problem as TS mentioned before. guess my item is really problematic..

luck. i have none.

thanks for the determination bro.

actually for the past 2 days, after some tweaking, i do feel the vibration (finally, thanks God! ). but under normal volume ~40%, the vibration is pretty weak. sweet!

@30%, the vibration is almost can't be felt. after trying some .mp3 with high bass, yes, the vibration is felt perfectly!

this setting and vibration only can be felt when i use together with X-Fi USB 5.1 Surround external soundcard. if using default soundcard in my lappy - none, even @ 100%.

EDIT : in the nutshell - i don't think my Kave is faulty unit. its just my default soundcard with is too crappy.


p/s : thanks for your recomendation to go for X-Fi USB 5.1 Surrounding. its worth every penny of it

yup. its seems default soundcard between laptop and desktop is not the same afterall.

TS did all his review just using default soundcard on his mobo, but no problem regarding vibration or whatsoever.

it doesn't work for me. maybe need more time to tweak it.

oh maiii~

finally i found an ultimate way to maximize the vibration!

just lower everything on your EQ below 50% and let Sub @ 100%. by that, its mean the overall volume will be reduce by half without affecting your Bass and Subwoofer.

if before this you only use till 20% (based on Windows Volume Level), but now you can use at 40% for 20% but the bass is still at 40%

you mean the EQ that comes with Kave?

both CounterStrike and MW2 have vibration (TS mentioned they have no vibration if i am not mistaken)

yep. i did meant about EQ that comes with Kave.

and i don't disturb the EQ in the Creative Luncher though, just disable them. scared they will disturb original sound produced..

no no. my last post is referring to songs, not games and movie.

for sure i turn on everything when gaming and movie

anyway, how much is Asus Xonar Essence? you coupled it with Kave too? guess i will have two external soundcard later... Asus Xonar Essence is not external, isn't it?

PC beep off = yep the sound is still there. momentary im using some stereo Phillips headphones SHM6103 model , excellent model . @bryan No backgound noise from speakes on full volume . In my opinion and 2 months of online search is that these model of headphones use this USB cable to powerup the headset, and they are not EMI protected , or they are but the motherboard and PC circuit activities still manage to bypass and through that USB conection , u can hear the intern electric activity of youre PC (keyboard function/mouse/HDD activities), its my only answer to what its happening. Shame, hope they next product dont use and such an fault usb adapter just to power it, when u can use just the JACKS for stereo/5.1/7.1 surround sound.

Still waiting for an response from the Roccat Suport team.
