i now considering between to own Logitech G35 or Roccat Rave.

the price is different just around RM 50 and its not a problem with me, but i wondering which one provide more realism when come in term of gaming?

as we know G35 is simulated 7.1 and Rave is real 5.1.

the reason why i am asking is because most of G35 review said its a best headphone for gaming.

Did you tweak your audio equalizer?

i am using Windows Media Player on Vista. is vibration available for that?

tried on Dirt2, no vibration detected. i hope its not broken or anything.

and do you maxed everything for Center, Front, Rear and Sub?

50/50/50/75 for me. Windows volume is 10~20. I use Media Player Classic, better playback and more tweaking options, better quality audio playback too, with its packed codecs: http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

Do you have a soundcard or are you using Realtek audio codec?
*
thanks for the download link. i am using Vista 64bit, so i assume K-Lite Codec Pack 64-bit is for me right?

don't know what kind of soundcard since i am using my laptop. thanks god my laptop have all 4 jack plug.

for audio driver, i am using SRS Labs of Audio Sandbox. seriously i am still newbie in high-end headphone like this. sweat.gif

i really appeciate all your tips notworthy.gif notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Nah, the 64bit codec pack is still in development as Media Player Classic does not support 64bit processing yet. So this would do.

hmm.gif Maybe you can increase the subwoofer's volume or fidelity at your SRS Labs' control panel or something?
*
thanks for the link. i already download and install it.

i tried to set like you shown (Media Player Classic > Option > Audio Switcher > Enable Custom Channel Mapping > 3) and play .mp3 @ 320 kbps + SRS Audio Sandbox ON + Desk EQ 100/100/100/100 Game Mode. yet, still no vibration at all.

is there any basic setting that needed to tweak which i might forgotten? hmm.gif

QUOTE(Cyclonechuah @ Apr 12 2010, 07:46 AM)
tune your equalizer, and set your BASS and Kave's Sub higher to have vibration. =D
*
done, but still negative.

/do you have any recommendation of good Sound Driver?
