so tweaks fix your issue then? I mean clearer like cleaner sound. Crisper like that kinda stuff.

I do own this card too, I have installed your drivers and the original Beta ones from the website and they seem to have the same problem with the microphone : only sound with noise can be heard, like a buzzing ( I can hear the voice too, but with that disturbing noise ). In Skype, the speaker from the other side hears me with the same disturbing sound, and, surprisingly, I hear him too with the same buzz.

With the drivers from the CD and the older ones from the website, made at the end of 2008, this buzz is not heard from the microphone, but there is another problem, at least in Youtube and Winamp ( surprisingly, this does not manifest in games ). At random moments, the sound mutes itself ( when this mute occurs, in Youtube the video slows down a bit ) and it does not came back later than 4-5 seconds. This is really disturbing. The same thing happens in Winamp, with the sound mute, but no error occurs in Windows because of that ( forgot to use that I do use Windows 7 ).

I really hope my feedback helped you in developing better drivers.

I have tried to enable/disable microphone boost and I hear the same disturbing sound; the thing is that it appears only in the Beta drivers from the website, the ones for Windows 7 made on October 6th and your latest drivers version; on the older ones from the CD and the ones from the website, the sound is crystal clear from the microphone, but the 4-5 seconds pause exists, in Skype, when talking to someone, in Youtube and Winamp. Surprisingly, it does not appear at all in games.

When the sound mute occurs for the older drivers, in Skype, the person on the other side does not hear me talking, so I guess the microphone mutes too, not only the speakers.

Edit : that buzzing is more like sound popping

Dear Rob,

Just wanted to let you know that popping sounds are found also in playback if I open a game, for example Counterstrike Source and then, with the game kept open, I go back to Windows desktop, with ALT+TAB; any opened application in this case, like websites with sound/music or Winamp have that popping sound. Any solution for this?

supertrip

with beta sometimes its look like there a leaking noize from well i dont know how to explain ....maybe the mic was not really turn off after turning or mute em or let it open without any device plugs or maybe the chipset interference like a shockwave goes into my headphone from the soundcard..... thats hurting my brain..... thats one reason i returning the product to the shop.....becuz i fell its not really safe than using realtek soundcard onboard......sometimes i think maybe they dont really like of wat i posting and complaining in that OEM forum and then they trying to terorizing me with the beta driver .....like a tone click while pausing and playing again in cyberlink etc hehehe....thats weird OEM forum card i ever know .....and to much advertise hahaha well okey see ya again robert.....im still waiting news / phone call from local importir...see wat happens next cheers

Hellow. Ups sorry, i forgot to enter . cheers

supertrip

Hellow Okey i try to writing again .

I use new oem driver now.


My opinion is each driver makes this soundcard sound not same when adjusting mixing with same song. I still having BSOD twice with newest OEM driver.

I have a little bit question about EAX, does this EAX really true 3D environment when making music?


I give u analogy is EAX is same like drawing in 3Dmax software ? So that mean any kinda multitrack software DAW when using soundcard with EAX it will be like in 3Dmax software / 3D environment?



Yes i read some in wikipedia bout EAX there cons about distortion and some pros. Last day i test beta oem and generic usb driver microsoft there lot gap quality. I think your pax have a dark sound (dark sound populer in dance music)but then in EAX 3D world not to clearly sounding.


MY opinion about newest oem driver give little more menu but im still found out wat it is. But as usuall i dont really surprised with some bug inside em


I just hope this EAX is true inovation , becuz it will really changes my perspective to composing song.



I still need to figure it out how to get punchy beat kick with soundcard without getting distortion :sle ep:

cheers
