    Microphone issues with sound card

    Use another sound card for the microphone. Those early HiTec/bgears/Auzentech cards all have defective microphone ports where the recording volume doesn't go beyond 5-10%.

    Kyle - Update from AMD on bezel management different monitors?

    EDID flashing *is* the only way right now to get bezel management work on different monitors. Bezel management looks at the Image Size section of the EDID. If they don't match, bezel management doesn't work. Here's the tutorial on rage3d on how to change your EDID. Altho the poster forgot to...

    Usefulness of Logitech G19 LCD screen

    Note I have a G15 not a G19. Same thing minus the color LCD. Does it really help in games? No. BF: Bad Company 2 is the only game that offers some useful information for it. WoW is close but is really worthless in the long run. The performance monitor that comes with the drivers is more...

    Preventing RROD on 360???

    When I fixed my 1st gen unit's RROD a while ago I found the major cause of it to be extremely improperly applied thermal paste. I kid you not, they basically used a teaspoon worth of the shitty white thermal paste that turns into bubblegum when it dries on the GPU and CPU. After cleaning all...

    Any issues with 5870 yet?

    Yea, biggest issue is the card is just too damn long. CM scout cases can't fit them. Had to go back to my old Lian LI case and take out the HD cage to make it fit. That goofy intake and shroud covering the end is the problem. If those things weren't there it'd probably fit.

    Lower those 4870 temps!

    Yep, I'm having the exact same problems as purecain in that post after flashing my Diamond 4870 with RBE last night. Ran fine for awhile and then refused to boot this morning. Also 3 out of the 4 LEDs power on when the system powers up. Edit: DOS flashing with original bios doesn't fix it...

    Headset

    ATH-A700 + Medusa's replacement microphone ghetto modded onto the headphones. It's another option if you want a real headset microphone instead of some clip-on mic but you'll need some adapters from ratshack. The microphone's plugin is just a normal RCA plug so you'll need: RCA jack...

    AMD Dual Core Optimizer Utility

    This is more like a de-optimizer than an optimizer. I've been getting random hard locks & IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN bsod as well since I installed this patch earlier in the night. I just uninstalled it so hopefully my system's stability is back to normal again.

    X-plosion is out woohoo!

    I wonder if the microphone jack will work properly this time around. It was friggen horsesh*t on the x-mystique. Everything maxed out on recording + mic boost turned on and all you'd get is 3 input bars outta a scale of 15-20 bars when you talked into the mic. :rolleyes:

    HDA Mystique Dolby Digital Encoding Card Info

    Yep, all the cards have a defective mic input. I have it, my friends that own this card have it and a couple other people on this forum have reported it as well. Funny that not a lot people notice it tho, must not be a lot of gamers that use mics in here with this card. 2 things you can do...

    HDA Mystique Dolby Digital Encoding Card Info

    So anyone try out any microphone recording yet with their cards? I've noticed with my card I have to crank the microphone recording volume all the way to maximum and enable mic boost just to have only 3 bars show up in the mixer page when I talk normally. Also when I'm voice testing with...

    PCI Dolby Digital Live Card on the market?!

    Just a quick Q for anyone that owns this card. Anyone else have extremely low recording levels using a microphone? I have it turned up full blast with mic boost enabled and at best I when I talk into my mic it only lights up 1/4 of the recording bar. I've tried 3 different mics so that isn't the...

    Corsair 1GB PC 3200 XMS Dual-Channel DDR $170

    nah, he just bought or was sent the wrong sticks. The TWINX1024-3200PT is what he has. The memory for sale here is TWINX1024-3200C2PT.

    How accurate is SMART disk monitoring?

    I would start moving important stuff off that drive asap at the very least. One of my friends just had his WD120 die on him yesterday. He got a SMART warning about 3-4 weeks ago about that drive. Everything was fine and dandy until he turned on his computer yesterday and heard an electrical...

    2005FPW roll call

    Goto www.monitorsdirect.com when their servers are back up. They got a free web based program in their After you buy --> Free software section that will cycle between red/green/blue/black/white. It's sized for 1280x1024 LCDs but it'll strech to 2005 size (altho the arrows at the bottom will be...

    Broke out Quake I last night.

    I miss the old MegaTF 2fort5 keep-away servers that were in Atlanta,GA :(. No mod after that was as challenging or fun as that map with that mod to me. What I find funny is that quake1's ctf mods and varients are still 10x better and more fun than the ctf mods that come out for today's games

    I got mine last week. I did have some slight backlight leakage on my upper left and bottom right corners but that's disappeared. Altho mine did come one 1 dead black pixel in the upper right corner, 2 stuck green pixels on a black background and 1 blue stuck pixel on a black background (You...

    hardocp 90nm athlon review thoughts

    Yep, that's my major gripe about this article. The 245x9.5 stuff should tossed out and redone with the 9x multi instead.

    WARNING to Winchester/90nm A64 buyers

    If you happen to get an MSI Neo2 board with the 1.1 bios it'll boot up fine with the 90mm as long as you don't have memory in slots 1&2 and 3&4 (dual channel). It needs to be in 1&3 (single channel) to boot up. Flash the bios to 1.20 or greater and then switch the memory sticks over to 1&2 or...

    if the ram has really loose timings to begin with you're going to have to use the memory divider. Go into dram settings in core center and set the top option in there to 166 or 133 or 100 and see how far you can go FSB wise with that.

    Post your MSI Neo2 Platinum results here

    Empty, I somewhat had that problem with mine except it was at 235 with the 5:6 (166mhz) ratio. But when I set to it 133mhz memory speed I could still go higher FSB wise until I came close to 166mhz with the memory again. I still could go even higher then once I dropped the memory to 100mhz but...

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum BIOS problem

    Cool beans man, at least yours didn't have the IDE channel go out and corrupt all the data on the IDE hds like mine did :D

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum BIOS problem

    Nah, just goto the core menu, then goto the HTx option, don't press enter to bring up the box and just press page down to select 4x.

    I hope that wasn't the only reason you RMA'd your board, because as I said in your other post it's a known 1.3x bios bug. For others too lazy to read his thread :D the work around is to just use page up and page down to change the HTx. For anyone that was remotely interested on what was going...

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum BIOS problem

    No, it's a known problem with the 1.3x bioses. Altho I did not have that problem with mine. I think the work around was just to use page up and page down to change it. Have you tired the new 1.37 bios to see if it does it in that one? (link to it is in msi forums)

    Yep, altho beta bios 1.36 is supposed to fix some things that are messed up in 1.3. Supposedly 1.36 beta is probably going to be 1.4 Also I forgot to mention where your supposed to press shift+f2 and alt+f3. Do it in the main bios screen.

    I can't check at the moment since i'm at work but the two I remember is a MAC address option and a NV/ATI startup option in cell menu. There's usually at least 1-3 new options in each area except in standard/HW monitor/Power settings. Majority of them seem to be useless/worthless.

    I have one on my board without any problems. Just make sure your video card doesn't have anything massive on it's backside that might conflict with the heatpipes (Massive custom memory heatsinks comes to mind, Zalman heatpipe heatsinks *might* have a problem). There's enough room for me to...

    Stick with Nforce2 Onboard sound or get Audigy Z2

    "Flawlessly" hah yea right. Ravenshield and UT2k4 suffer from extreme quiteness where I have to jack my reciever to nearly full blast to hear anything. Farcry not playing sounds correctly (no gun firing sounds, extremely muffled voices or no voices playing in cut scenes). If this is flawlessly...

    Stick with Nforce2 Onboard sound or get Audigy Z2

    Reasons? Well soundstorm has *horrid* drivers for one. Don't belive me? Go play Ravenshield/UT2k4/Doom3/Farcry (<-- this one especially) in 5.1 and hear for yourself. Also the sound going staticy and robotic after 15-20 mins of playing is another driver issue on soundstorm. Only problems...

    doom3 trent reznor sound pack

    I hate to say it but I really wonder if this pack is even legal. Especially when considering that Trent made id start over from scratch on all the sounds he did when he left. Guess we'll find out if it's legal or not if Trent starts tossing out C&D letters.

    Flashlight mod + extras

    Here's a quickie grenade mod. I only changed the velocity of the grenade so it gets thrown farther and the bouncyness so it doesn't bounce around like a rubber ball. Also, when I was testing it out I forgot I left the flare mod's script file in there. It was adding quite a nice effect when...

    Flashlight mod + extras

    Yea, just go into the weapon script files and remove the flashlight( true ); lines, there's about 3-4 of them per file. That alone will do it but if you want it really clean load up the weapon def files and remove the lines from //Begin Flashlight to //end flashlight

    Flashlight mod + extras

    Yea, pretty much. Right now the code makes act like it's made completely out of rubber which just isn't right. I'll take a look at and post what that other mod did when I get back home from work.

    Flashlight mod + extras

    Even tho this is done in another mod how about adding in a non-superball grenades into this mod. Having them bouce like the old grenade launcher grenades from quake 1 would probably be the best way. I also recommend setting the fuse to 4 or 5 to since it goes off too quickly and setting the...
