Hi!
I have just switched from my onboard sound/Medusa's to a Xonar DX with some DR150s.
All is well but theres so many options, to check or uncheck etc.
What is the best options for music and gaming?
Currently my games sound a bit echo'y.
Thanks :)

Edit: And should i be removing this tape I read about? I am unsure where to look :p
 
Hi. Thanks for reply - forgot to say, I have XP so I think I dont have the channel options.
I will have a try as suggested but do you have any idea if Dolby Pro Logic or 7.1 Virtual speaker should be used for music/games when I am also using Dolby headphones?
Thanks

Been a while since I used a Xonar in XP. I think you can go to sound in control panel. Set your speakers to 5.1 or 7.1 in Windows and turn on Dolby Headphone for gaming.

Thanks for reply :) - I think I am getting somewhere :D
But the above has me a bit confused.
I have Sound and Audio Properties but no where to enable Dolby for gaming :(
Btw, in the above mentioned control panel applet, should I stick with "Stereo Headphones" under Advanced or change to 5.1 (as that is the effect Xonar will try and create)? Perhaps it makes little difference.
Oh and any idea how to get to the tape? Is it just a case of peeling off the felt material and removing it :confused:
 
Thanks for all the help - it is much appreciated :D
But sorry to be a ninny nit picker but you could clarify a few things about the removing the tape?
I've had a quick look and see 4 screws on each pad, semi exposed.
Is that the lot of them, or need I continue to look around?
Upon unscrewing said screws, will the headphones separate easily, or is some force/unclipping involved?
Sorry again, I just have visions of them falling apart in my hands, wires and springs tumbling onto the floor :p

In that case I wouldn't be opening them up just yet if I were you :)

As I mentioned before, just leave them on overnight for a few nights at least and they should sound much nicer...and if after a while you feel like having a look inside, then go for it :)

Ok ill wait :)
But Im not sure how good im finding them for accuracy of positions for games.
Might removing the tape help? Or perhaps disabling Dolby headphone when I play.
