Sorry for the bump. I've been trying to get the SirWest version of this to run, having no luck at all. Version 1.42 crashes as soon as I click on the icon, with this Windows exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\system32\2hps.ico'. Version 2.0 RC2 crashes...

Having my apartment broken into a month ago and losing a PS3, xbox 360, and almost losing a $1600 TV (hooray for heavy and obtuse full-motion wall mounts) and now having someone attempt to break in another way yesterday, I'm interested in getting some sort of video surveillance set up. We can't...

I'm quite fond of Media Monkey, but most media managers that support podcasts should be fine. I'm pretty sure Winamp does it too, but I don't use it for transfers to MP3 players.

How about wireless? I've seen mentions of a 360 wireless "crossfire" adapter for the PC but it only seems to exist in the UK.

I'm looking to snag an extra controller so my roommate and I can do co-op Halo 3, since we only have one 360 controller in the house... but I also want a new gamepad for my PC (hooray for retrogaming.) Is there a good controller I can grab that supports both the 360 and the PC?

Good luck. Remember, if you have the gain on the mic cranked up, lower it when you install the new mic, or you'll blow someone's eardrums. Probably your own.

The X-RAM only matters for games that say they support it... but supposedly any game that uses OpenAL will make full use of it anyway as it's built into the architecture. So, future games (especially those made with full Vista support) will benefit, and anything that claims to work better on...

So, I bought this headset, and after several hours of extensive tweaking (still going) I've gotten it to the point where it sounds pretty damn good for 90% of the music and movie audio that I listen to. The microphone, however, is terrible. I found that I need to enable the 20dB boost just to...

I'm in the market for a good front-panel connector for card readers, USB ports, etc. I actually don't care about having sound and I have a dedicated fanbus for fans, but what I'm really interested in is finding one with a good built-in card reader. Here's one example of the type of thing I'm...

You should only need a new control unit... Or you might be able to find out what the correct wiring is, and just change it. BTW, if you could, I'd love to know what wiring information you were using and which model speakers you have. I've been looking for this kind of stuff for my v2.400...

I'm pretty sure that the connector itself is still a standard DIN connector, so you really just need to find one somewhere and start soldering. Personally I'm more interested in finding out what pinout it's using and getting a more direct connection to my sound card. The preamp blows and...

TrueCrypt won't work without admin rights, period, since it has to be able to create an entire virtual disk and mount it. There's been some talk of making a separate program that can just open and view the disk without actually mounting it as a drive, but last I checked nothing had materialized...

That's what I was referring to... the problem is that the pass-through picks up interference along the way, and it is also subject to signal loss as well. Some will be better than others, but I've been a bit underwhelmed by the few I've tried out. What external DAC are you using? I have...

Yeah, all it does is switch which sound card is used by default. When a program starts using sound it latches onto the current default and keeps using it unless said card is fully disabled, at which point it just stops playing sound entirely. Unless your software of choice has the ability to...

Personally I'm quite fond of the Sandisk Titanium w/U3. I use a number of them at work and always have one on my keychain. It's not the fastest one out there but it's better than most; 15MB/s read, 9MB/s write. Comes with a sandisk-only version of dmailer-sync (cruzersync) for U3, which can...
