Sound Blaster

I am trying to setup a 5.1 speaker system with a receiver (Sony STRDH590 ) to my desktop. I tried to connect the computer and the receiver together via an optical audio cable. When I turned the receiver on it played music, however the left and right sounds where only coming out. I later found...

I've looked for replacement wires with a male input and 2 male audio/mic for my sound blaster x headset. I've looked on ebay for replacement but I cant find one. anyone know where i could get me a replacement?

Hi fellas, As you can probably guess, I'm wondering which of these headphones to pick. Here's a also a little bit of background. My current setup uses the onboard audio of the Aorus H370 Gaming WiFi motherboard, i.e. the ALC1220 audio chip. I've been using the HyperX Cloud II headset...

uninstalled, removed all folders, installed again in safe mode windows 10 x64 noticed that if I use NONE of the voice settings, all disabled i can hear my mic with no latency once one of those are selected there is 5 - 10 second latency in the mic so why not just disable them.. cause for some...

The default sound profile isn't great, but I don't have the "Enhancements" tab mentioned in every post I can find about using some kind of built-in equalizer, just "General", "Levels", and "Advanced". I have no idea how much information someone would need to help me with this, so here's...

My headphones, speakers and earpiece all use 3.5mm jacks. In my use case I need to be able to route sound to them all independently and have them all play different audio simultaniously. Windows has some limited support for this but im also running out of audio outputs. I'm hoping a sound card...

Hello! I have recently got myself a 5.1 setup (Genius Home Theater SW-HF 5.1 6000) as well as external sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro) that's supposed to be for laptops specifically. The problem is both of my rear channels and front centre are coming out of the subwoofer. Even...

I recently bought a used gaming pc and I am really new to this. It has a sound blaster xbs sound card and I have a headset I used with my Xbox with one connector. Do I need to buy a headset with 2 connectors to plug into the headset and microphone ports or is there a way to make the single...

Since I needed a good gaming headphone I looked up Mad Lust Envy's Guide and I took the AKG K702 because of it good analytic sound to hear the enemys. I know they lack a bit of bass but I don't hear music with the PC so it does not really matter. However, I've read that they need a good AMP/DAC...

Do I really need an amp/dac for a Sennheiser HD 58X with a modmic 5? I also have a Logitech Z623 Speaker System. Or will a Sound Blaster Z work fine with my setup?

i have a creative soundblaster z connected via analog cables to my old yamaha receiver (rx-v659) my questions are: where to set the crossover? sound card or receiver? also the sound card have a extra option called "subwoofer gain" that give more bass if i check the box (maybe extra 10 db i dont...

I recently built a new PC, and I migrated my Sound Blaster Z (internal card) to the new system. It was working fine with my Logitech Z906 5.1 system on Windows 10 just weeks ago. NOW, when I go through the speaker test (either in Windows or in SBX Studio), I get front L/R output, but no...

Hey everyone, Back in 2014's Blackfriday, I was able to get a pretty good deal on a SoundBlaster Z card. Normally, the price was fluctuating between $100-$120 and I snagged one for $60, which was really hard to let it slide. This said, I also bought the ATH's M40x that were also on sale. I'm...

Hi everyone, I used to own a asus Xonar DGX sound card which supported dolby headphones. I have an 5.1 astro a40 and i was not getting the best quality using this soundcard since it needs dolby digital live (ddl). So i decided to get the Creative sound blaster Z, which is a card that does...

I got a 250 ohms Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro and it sounds nearly the same plugged into my motherboard (ASRock Z270 Pro4 LGA 1151) as it does my 600 ohm sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX PCIe). When plugged into my motherboard or sound card they aren't quiet or loud, but if i had to...

Hi, I have a receiver Yamaha HTR 6030 connected with optical TOSlink cable to external Sound Blaster Creative X-FI HD (to my PC) My question is how do they interact with each other when it comes to sound quality? How does the receiver and how does the sound blaster affect the sound? Will I get...

I did some research and I decided that I will buy the DT 990 PRO 600 OHMS because they're off their high-end Audio but I have read that they need a strong Headset AMP to be used to their full potential. I was unable to confirm if the Headphone Amp Sound BlasterX G5 from Creative was good enough...

Hello, I bought cheap and rhodium 3.5mm 4 pole jacks from Aliexpress, both types of connectors don't work with my Sony MDRXB400 headphone which has only 3 wires, the sound is too flat. But the rhodium one worked well with creative sound blaster fury headset with has 4 wires. So, what to do...
