Hi all and hope this is the appropriate section for this post.
I have a Abit AW9D-MAX (Intel i975-ICH7)specs here http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=6953&page=2 and recently purchased a headset with mic (not a usb one) for my first attempt of online gaming. All other players say I'm inaudible with a lot of static. So I'm trying to eliminate the issues. I have checked the settings in windows XP (and the game) and I updated my mb drivers. So that leaves me with onboard audio or the need to get a sound card (or possiblely a better headset) btw music sounds great with the onboard. Any advice? Any gamers using onboard with their headsets with no issues? Appreciate any help and thanks in advance!
