Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting a gaming headphone set so I don't keep my wife up late at night when gaming. However all the decent headphones I see have multiple inputs (analog) and my analog inputs on my SB X-fi are already occupied by my 5.1 Logitech surround sound system. Is there a...

Downloading the beta drivers from Creative has solved the problem. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't know what it's mixed for, but the refusal to show more than stereo channels as a selectable option is happening when no sound is played. It's like I have only plugged in a 2-speaker system.

I haven't tried using 5.1 with the Realtek only. It seems like a last resort when I have this specialized PCI-e card sitting around -- and working perfectly on my last PC, which only died a week ago.

I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a new computer. I am using an older Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium sound card, which has never had a single problem in Windows 7 on my old PC. However now after I install the X-Fi drivers (from Creative's site), Windows shows 2-channel stereo as...

Yes, the system partition is shown graphically in front of the larger main partition. Would the command line work? Or do I have to go download Partition Magic??

Hi all, I just got an SSD and am running Windows 7 Ultimate off of it. My next step was to reformat my 1.5TB former hard drive, and make it my data drive for holding installed apps/games etc. I go to Disk Manager and see the 1.5TB drive is split into two, the latter being a "System...

Hi, Is it possible to create a bootable Ubuntu USB stick (I have an 8GB one) that would allow me to run Chrome/Firefox off the USB stick, and also read/write to NTFS-formatted SATA hard drives on the same PC? When I try this I cannot get Ubuntu to see the other hard drives (which have...

Hi, I have a really bizarre problem. I use my Gmail account to sign into Dominion.isotropic.org (browser-based multiplayer game), via OpenID, which is coded into the site. I never had a problem until after I opened a Gravatar account and uploaded an image. After that, when I try to sign in...

Nobody has run into this? Did a lot of Googling but it's all inconclusive.

I have an Alienware M11x R2 laptop. It has, like many laptops, a function + F-key combination that adjusts the screen brightness. Recently this just stopped working. When I hit it, the slider appears but will not change in response to keyboard inputs. I can alter brightness using the...

Did precisely this -- max temps for the top card in DA2 with MAX settings is now about 85C, with a few flickers up to 88C. Bottom card never tops 69C. It turns out putting the Eyefinity on top and making sure it is screwed in a position where it's as high up in the PCI-e slot as possible...

Well, the closed-loop GPU cooler by Coolit Systems would be perfect, but of course Corsair bought them out so they don't sell their Omni ALC GPU cooler anymore. I am hoping to reverse the two cards positions, hoping the displayport to DVI adapter works, and that this will increase the space...
