Re: [Audyssey] Score Servers reset
I was going to buy pb classic myself, but with this news I'll hold fire as well, -- besides, judging by te difference betwene extreme wild west and the actual wild west table in classic, I suspect plenty of new features will be added in during the transition.

Re: [Audyssey] work around for realtech hd cards
Hi Shaun and all, Quick question for you. I'm running a realtech hd card here in a laptop, have never edited the ini files for any gma games, and receive no popping/crackling/laggy behaviour with gtc lw or sod as yet. Is that normal? Fi, my realtech hd is inside a core 2 duo 2.4 ghz macbook pro with 2 gb of ram, and I boot into windows native for gaming, although I've also seen the sound support perform without any of the mentioned issues under virtualisation. Just throwing my experiences into the mix to try and narrow down what causes it I guess. Cheers Scott On 2/4/09, shaun everiss shau...@xtra.co.nz wrote: Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] work around for realtech hd cards
hmm either you are lucky or for whatever reason you have a newer model. There are 2 types of hd cards. the origional cards realtech hd then the real tech alc hd. These seem newer than the older style of realtech hd. its possible that these cards have been fixed. even with the older drivers I have for this card there is still a bit of crackling.

It is extremely fowl but again as the page says it is not for anyone under 18. Anyways, as a newbie there no help is really there and the maps are color coded which wow how unhelpful for blind players is that? Anyone who can help would be so much appreciated. Also can you contact me off list for I have some questions that maybe you can help me with.

Re: [Audyssey] work around for realtech hd cards
The Realtek HD sound chip that I have in my desktop system has a driver tht ends in.. .5523 the sound from this chip was awesome! but then I tryed to get into audio chat rooms for the blind..and quicly found out the driver was flawed. when I went to volume control..it was impossible to select my microphone as my input recording device.. totally impossible. the entire recording setup scfreen appeared to be greyed out..nothing could be selected as the input device for recording. I googled this and found out thousands of folks had the same problem. I had to disable the onboard chip and put in a yamaha sound card to fix the problem. if you could steer me to the driver you say you use and it works fine, then I might like to go back to the onboard sound chip. it would be nice to get my PCI slot back for some other use. thanks for any help you can offer. r_montow...@yahoo.com Robert --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] work around for realtech hd cards
hmmm tried to run the standard realtech hd 2.14 driver today. version is 393, my driver is 404 or something. the card was heaps lowder and more distorted. the menus jumped round like no one's business. I suspect i can only run spaciffic drivers for my laptop. the old 384 driver I have is the best sounding, unfortunately I really can't run games with the card right at least not all of them.

Re: [Audyssey] work around for realtech hd cards
well the recording control is where you unmute the mic. know this though you can only have the stereo mix or the mic on at the same time. unlike the old analog cards like soundmax where you could use the mic and stereo mix at once you can't anymore. the input and output devices are split the output is in the main controler the input is on the recording controler.
