    I got some speakers

    All i've really used them on so far is listening to mp3s of all different bitrates in iTunes. That new soundcard should be here tomorrow. I'm hoping that takes care of it.

    I got some speakers

    Yeah I've got all these volume slider issues under control, they're all up. I'm beginning to suspect my crappy onboard audio out, but I said I have a new card on the way, so if I hook that up and things are still fishy, then I dunno... If anyone out there actually has these same speakers...

    I got some speakers

    Hello friends. You might remember me from a couple days ago when I had a question about 5.1 surround sound. Wellll let me assure you, a LOT has changed since then! I've secured some klipsch promedia 5.1 ultras, but there's a problem. Well, there's maybe a problem. I've got to turn them up to...

    CompSource?

    I usually deal with newegg when getting stuff online and I have no complaints about them. But i'm trying to get some klipsch promedia 5.1u's for cheap and theyve got something going right now with free shipping. Their website is www.csource.com. Does anyone have experience with these guys, good...

    I don't understand about 5.1 surround

    Thanks for all your help so far--you are all very beautiful people. To answer some of your questions, I was probably just going to get some computer speakers. I was thinking about the Logitech z-5500's or the klipsch promedia ultra 5.1s. Anyone know if either of those have the appropriate...

    I don't understand about 5.1 surround

    Let's say I hooked up a 5.1 system and then played some media that wasn't encoded in surround, like a CD let's say. What happens then? Does anything come out of the satellites? Are the back two speakers called satellites? If not, please forgive me, but I'm talking about the back two speakers. I...

    Some kind of bottleneck

    [/i] Yeah, I have a gig too. the more I talk to people the more im convinced its either a software issue or the motherboard. I'm going to try formatting my drive to see if that fixes it, if not, ill try to get ASUS to cough up a new board, im well within their warranty.

    Some kind of bottleneck

    [/i] Interestingly enough I tried recently to flash my BIOS using a bootable CDROM that I made with Nero and had some problems. Are you running the newest version? Does it say they were created on 6-23-2004 for you? Cuz I'm pretty sure they were actually created on like 8-7-04, or so Asus...

    Some kind of bottleneck

    oh oh one more thing. I noticed that whenever I'm scrolling down a website, something in the computer, either the GPU or the CPU makes a little ticking noise everytime I scroll down one line, one tick for every scroll. also I can hear this noise only it's interval is much shorter, each time...

    Some kind of bottleneck

    yeah it's a 2.8 C. Another interesting thing is that last night I OCed the processor to 3 ghz and the card to 400/1100 (up from 370/1100 stock) and then benchmarked it again with 3dmark2001 and actually got LESS 3d marks than before. Also, there's really nothing running in the background, and...

    Some kind of bottleneck

    I recently got a GeForce 6800 GT from a co-worker, and i watched the card work very smoothly on his computer, so I'm confident the issue is not with the card. The weird thing is that most games for me will lag up no matter if im on the highest resolution or the lowest. A good example of this...

    Doom 3 and 6800 GT. Something is wrong here.

    I did look there, thats what initally got me worried. People with computers slower than mine all got at least 10 fps higher than me. I have a p4 C 2.8 ghz. Do you think maybe its an issue with having a pentium as opposed to a athalon?

    Doom 3 and 6800 GT. Something is wrong here.

    yeah vsync is off...I dunno man this is pretty weird. I have a P4P800 Deluxe mobo if that helps anyone. I updated the north bridge chipset software earlier today too.

    Hey, are you supposed to have a flashlight for the Hell level in D3? cuz i dont.

    I dont want to cheat, i was just asking if I should have started out the level with it, or if you find it later in the level, or if you're meant to do the whole level without one.
