QUOTE(blessedvillain @ Jan 30 2008, 04:07 PM) can i join X-Fi club too? just got myself a 2nd hand Xtreme Music. switch to foobar2000 instead of winamp..anyway, i'm just wondering, what are the best settings for music listening? Here's what I've done: 1. enabled 24-bit crytalizer. 2. enabled CMSS 3dvirtual (should i enable this? mine speaker is a 2.1) 3. for now, the EQ mode is "flat", but i tune my EQ in my Winamp setting... (should I do the opposite?) the rest is still in default mode. ok, what else should i be doing if i wanna fully utilize X-Fi power for music?  sound quality is totally different with correct add ons like noise sharpening & asio plug in you will be amazed. |

QUOTE(blessedvillain @ Apr 15 2008, 01:47 AM) @arafat extreme platinum = extreme musici'm surprised you can measure the quality of the sound by percentage.   If you say 50% improvement compared to ZS, then i must say that it's 10% improvement over Xtreme Platinumand from what i heard it's same DAC like ZS.. so i dont think it's 40% over ZS..  hehe..just kidding btw can platinum console use with elite pro? can anyone do the testing. i think if got remote my pc will look 'cooler' |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Dec 14 2008, 10:28 AM) Music sounds best on two channel, period, cloning to back speaker makes me headache, making a mess out of it. hei..not really, the f2k cloning is not the same with creative xmss 3d. the sound is duplicated nicely without any delay.@kennytee Just use ASIO plugin, everything would be good enough. If you like using DSP there is no point of using ASIO in the first place as the purpose of using it is to get bitperfect out yup must install creative asio too & noise sharpening plug in. |

QUOTE(kerollowyat @ Jan 19 2009, 12:16 PM) Hi, what about surround speakers?I have an old AV receiver (brand name - Dynaco). It support Dolby DTS. However the receiver does not have connection for center, surround and subwoofer. So, I connect my X-Fi XtremeMusic using the red/white cable. When playing games, I set the Game mode to 5.1 config. But, I can't get any sound from center speaker. So, sometimes the games lost sounds, esspecially during dialog. When set to 2.1 speaker, also no sound from center speaker. So, is it possible to get the center speaker working (get surround sound). Thanks you must use an optical cable and connect to the digital io at the sound card,not by using red & white analog cable. |
