What is the exact model of those Sony earbuds? Btw, you ever thought on getting these?:http://www.amazon.com/Koss-KSC75-Portable- Stereophone-Headphones/dp/B0006B486K/ref=sr_1_1? ie=UTF8&qid=1304625240&sr=8-1
But yes, all integrated sound is terrible, almost on the same level as integrated graphics, but unlike graphics, sound can't be modded to sound better if the hardware can't do more by itself. The issue of the sound getting worse is probably due to the onboard chip clipping the audio over those values, which is very usual to happen with low quality gear, even some dedicated audio chips. The X- Fi Go! Pro has a hissing issue that can't be fixed so far, and anyway it does have lower specs than the regular Go!. Forget about that HP with Beats audio, it is awful, and it has more style than function (again, like Beats gear), specially on the touchpad. The new M11x is an interesting piece of hardware, with Sandy Bridge cpus and larger amounts of memory, so if portability is a factor, then get it as there's nothing that even gets close. But keep in mind that the sound will still be bad, as unfortunately manufacturers don't think it's worth spending $5 in better silicon :( On May 5, 8:42 pm, "Jose Villegas (MADBEAST)" <[email protected]> wrote: > Thnks Rog i rellay wante dot hear your concept about those sound > cards... the idea was to pimp my PC because the M15x sound pretty bad > with earphone, or dont know if are the earphone that are bad (SONY) > (the beats are in other city) the sound is horrible when it reaches > the 75-80 % of max volume, the speakers are magnificent but i never > use them.... > > i decided not to spend a coin on that computer and leave it just the > way it is... > > seroiusly thinking on buying a brother for the M15x... the candidates > are HP BEATS and M11X -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
