of course nola...the difference of 3.5mm stereo and 3.5mm mono only stereo got 3 segments and mono only 2(no middle segment)...the middle segment of the stereo head correspond to right channel....

and keep in mind that the digital signal will be perfect if it works, otherwise it will fail/no signal, no SQ degradation issue like analog...

By my experience, there is not much difference in digital region. It just transfer digital data, that is, one and zeros. I've played with digital cable once, a normal composite cable (yellow TV cable), 75ohm coax cable, and even direct wire coax wire without any RCA termination. For most, better use longer cable to avoid reflection reaching at the same time as the signal (at least 1.5m long, this is what I've been told). The best is using no RCA at all, some say to reduce jitter and I can hear slightly clearer spectrum, less blurry. Or do impedence matching (same as direct wire), but that requires some equipment to measure it and do it, plus finding 75ohm BNC jack is hard to match 75ohm coax cable. But its only noticeable only if you have a very quiet room (2-4am in the morning) and very good hearing

So the conclusion is don't worry about it. Your hearing limitation is a lot greater than the equipment limitation

Yes..continue using earphones and with loud volume...half or 3/4 deaf by aged 40 or sooner.

Unless you use the splitter or unless you have the front i/o bay. Not only for xtrememusic but generally most of the soundcards are like that..

Aww a good one here..

you want all 3 together also no problem, just apply the front C/sub button as well, but need 5.1 setting..

Xtreme Music is a good card for music?
How if compare with Elite Pro?
thanks!

Sure ElitePro better than XtremeMusic lo....XtremeMusic = XtremeGamer = Fatality Pro = Platinum Fatality...all these 4 are same in terms of sound quality, only the name different to grab more money from buyers..

GOOD!!!


Sharing below the linking is the all the creative original CD Image file.

hi all

im new here... not yet an X-FI user, but i want to become one. so i have one n00b question:

i am using notebook, and the other day i saw new product called X-Fi Surround in the creative store. i thought i when home to think about it first. but the day after im going on vacation so i cannot get the item. when im back the store yesterday no longer have the item, nor the website. what is left is Sound Blaster Live External 24 Bit. its abit cheaper than X-Fi Surround 5.1

hence i wanna ask about opinion, which one deserve to go? should i get the sound blaster or wait for the X-Fi surround to be back in stock...?

here is the description of both items:
X-Fi Surround 5.1
Sound Blaster Live! External

thanks.

if your notebook sound is newest HD based, it will pretty same sound quality as Sound Blaster Live External 24 Bit...so i'm not recommend this unless your budget is too tight...

thx for the reply.
fortunately no, as in my siggy, my notebook is a crap today.
im planning to change to the new acer 6920G somewhere next month but afaik it still cant support 5.1 surround sound... cause i played my fren 5920G which i think have very similar sound card spec to the successor and... the dolby home theater feature really have not so much different from other laptops.. i need a soundcard for a laptop that has 5.1 output and volume knob.... no need to be so good also

if budget allow, go for SB 5.1surround...

Hmmm...I wanna ask X Fi users here a question..

In the sound control panel there...there is a thing called digital output sampling rate and let you choose between 48kHz and 96kHz..
I wanna know is there any difference..i switch between the 2 and can't really differentiate between them..
Anyone knows?
