HT Omega engineers are still working on drivers for Windows 7, but I'm tired of waiting. Is anyone familiar with other drivers that will allow the Omega Claro sound card to work with Windows7 (beta). I love Windows7, but don't use it because I must have the Dolby Headphone feature of my sound...
I'm trying to install Vista OS on my new (second) hardrive to dual boot with XP on my other hardrive. After booting up with the Vista installation CD, following all instructions, selecting "Custom" install, and selecting the new disk for the location of the install, I get the following error...
I'm about to add a second HD3870 card to my system, but have never used CrossFire before. Is it simply a matter of inserting the second card and connecting that little bridge thingy? I know my MOBO supports Crossfire. Do I have to add a second set of ATI drivers, or do both cards play off the...
WMP has a "use overlays" settings for DVD playback; but shouldn't that be turned off if hardware acceleration is selected in the Purvideo DVD decoder. The Purvideo decoder has options for deinterlacing, and I'm worried about conflicts with the options for video acceleration in WMP. What would be...
Just purchased a new WD My Book Essential 2 (the new version) 320GB USB external. This drive comes formatted with the FAT file system; so the first thing I did was to format to NTFS. Then I filled it with my favorite Xvid movies, connected it to the USB port in my Oppo dvixDVD player, and then...
PC music is even cleaner sounding than the headphone connection in my Z5500 (bitmatched from my XFi card). I don't know whether it is do to the arguably better DAC or the headphone amp in the 0404, but the sound is more as though I'm in the recording studio with Neil Young ("Unpluged"):eek...
How do you think the EMU 0404 USB would compare to the X-M for headphone use with PC source music. They both have the same DACs, will power HD595 headphones and are the same price.
Use my TV (SD 4:3 CRT) solely for Dvix/Xvid movie playback (TV shows boring to me). Have been using my Oppo DVD player with this old display (S-video connection); and find the picture quality to be better than rented DVDs from BlockBuster. I limit my movie downloads to good quality DVDrips in...
I have just ordered the HD595 headphones for PC games and MP3 (URGE subscription) music. Plan on connecting to the headphone jack on the Z5500 control/receiver, as I don't want to be continually disconnecting the X-Fi card annalog cables to the speakers (50/50 speaker/headphone uses).
Thought...
I have to close down and restart the computer after every attempt. Is this because WMP 11 does not support DXVA, thus putting to much stress on my otherwise marginal CPU for WMV HD video playback?
