Sound card

[Belloni]

Hey guys, am going to buy - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SC-044-CL

Just wondering it says 7.1 and my speakers are 5.1, does this matter basically? lol

 

[PotGuy]

No not at all. It means you can use up to 7.1, not only 7.1

I think most gamers use 5.1 anyway. Or stereo headphones


Thats a very snazzy version of the card!

 

[Belloni]

Ahh cool, was a little worried, well that's the last of the purchases for my rig now it seems! Hope to get that card friday.

I am in love with blue led's! Especially these copperhead + tarantula ones hehe

Same.

I made everything Black with Blue LEDs. The Tsunami case, the Copperhead, my Saitek keyboard, my screen. All black with blue.

B-e-a-utiful isn't it?

Quite a rig you have there. What speakers do you have?

 

[Belloni]

Oh same! hehe it was a big bonus my speakers power LED is blue to ha

Those are my speakers.

I am really looking forward to the sound card though, never ever had a seperate one, and can't wait to hear the difference in my games/music and my films as i am constantly watching films

 

[Belloni]

Just ordered it and passed by some pictures and noticed it has TWO slots? Surely this won't fit in the slot right? ;s

Please let me know asap, so i can cancel ze order! ;p

 

[PotGuy]

I'm confused.

That picture is of a one slot card

Oh and good speakers you have there. I chose between them and my X-540s as they were both pretty much the same price.

 

[Belloni]

Yeah look at there it slots in, there are two indents in it?

 

[V_R]

Just looks like standard PCI to me.

 

[Belloni]

Maybe i'm just being paranoid as i've never used a sound card

Also can someone post me a link to the driver cleaner programme, can't find it

 

[V_R]

This one?

[Belloni]

Provided a picture of what i meant by the "slots".

And yes V_R, thanks.

 

[floppybootstomp]

Hey, don't worry about those slots, they're just indents to align the card, all is normal

 

[Belloni]

Just installed it and wow what a difference, so much clearer, base is imense now!

Just wondering on songs, is it normal to only come out of the two front speakers? They all work on films/games just on music there is only two working ...

 

[V_R]

Depends how you have it set up. Music is better through stereo anyway.

 

[Belloni]

Says 5.1 oh well, loving this sound card

I really need to shove the back speakers on the wall, even though i have nothing behind, they need to be more to the sound for "surround sound" as at the moment, they're all infront of me!

Just grab a couple of chairs and stick em behind you.

Surround sound it pretty irrelevant for music (And as VR said a stereo is 100 tiems better anyway) and it saves you having to crack the drill out.
