Quality sound is a very nice thing.

My brothers and I went out shopping tonight and bought each other gifts. My family doesn't really celebrate Christmas so much, so we just opened them up tonight. (Some in the car on the way home actually) I got some Sennheisser HD212 Pro headphones. It's so nice to actually be able to hear the little things that the artists put into the music, to get the highs and lows, instead of the muddy sound that I get with my crappy 'PC multimedia speakers'.

Unfortunately, my onboard sound gives some weird sounds when nothing is playing, wiccan chanting and screams of the damned, etc. Some beeping too. I'll have to get a nice soundcard and kick it up a notch.

If you're using crappy speakers right now, treat yourself and get some nice audio hardware, it's really worth it.

Which Sennheisers did you get? I got the low end HD 202's on Amazon and they sound A LOT better than my $20 Koss headphones that I bought at Target a few years back. The bass isn't just indistinct rumbling anymore!

I just edited it in - HD212 Pros. I didn't want to take them off mid-song to check.

Can somebody send me some music in a lossless format? Completely legal, of course... heh, wink.

I have my music server box playing lossless FLAC tunes into my receiver and pair of Polk RT28s, sounds nice

(rip with EAC + FLAC, play with foobar2000)

nope, the 900 CDs on my server aren't being shared, even though 'tis the season.

Thanks.. but they all want to save ad a text document.

I think the CD sound thing fixed most of it- we shall see. There's still some skipping that annoys me though. Do you know how to kill that? It's not a CD. Can I allot my player more resources or something?

Missed this...

1. MP3 through Winamp 5. 128k, 192k, 320k all give this.
2. AMD 2100+ on an NF7-S v2.0 with soundstorm.
3. Onboard soundstorm

WTF, the beeping comes back. It reacts to clicking and stuff sometimes, but it's not a windows sound.

Er... are you trying to tell me that I need to mute the Line-in channel?

 

[AnitaPeterson]

It actually reacts to various hardware and software actions (programs opening and closing, mouse cursor movements etc.) That's the pity with on-board sound, no matter how good it is, and Soundstorm is probably the best you can get ...

 

[Goosemaster]

yes
