ATH-AD700 + x-fi fatal1ty

and why do I have horrible sound in css? constructive responses please.

bad drivers? wrong settings? not sure why you'd get the fatality card... its just a $100 gimmick that you fell for

Horrible sound for a horrible game, sorry I couldnt help my self.

"i rofl in your directions." Stupidity at its finest.

#3 the truth always earns a +frag

#1 check out my post here http://hardware.gotfrag.com/portal/forums..

so do you enable cystalizer or not

I dno bout this 5.1 bullshit, atm im using headphones /3d-cmss off/ crystalizer off /svm off and eax off. It sounds aweful.

3d-cmss on

c[_] is half-full

because you paid too much for a sound card

this is one of the hardest problems to find a solution for. NOT everyone spends money like 400$ or so on sound alone. I would if I have the money and actually i do but still it is EXPENSIVE AND RIP OFF.

anyways, dont play source dude TRUST ME. Play any other game but that ROFL.

The sound in CSS is awful. That's the real problem. You might as well play the game without sound because it wouldn't matter. Just look at the shadows to prefire them :x

if u are comparing css sounds to 1.6 sounds , then yes, css sounds are TOTALLY different.
there is nothing wrong with ur setup , and keep all those useless creative additions off pls as they process and modify the sound, thus sound is not heard the way it is meant to be heard.

#7 just try these settings and ignore other posts, crystalizer sucks unless you want to hear some 128kbs mp3s on 20$ speakers

edit : try experimenting with snd_digital_surround and snd_legacy_surround (orange box engine games only ) commands on console too, more info can be found here

i did some tests on my own, headphones speaker setup on creative panel 5.1 speaker setup in winxp 5 .1 in css sound settings and snd_digital_surround set to 1 in console (snd_legacy_surround 0 on orange box engine games ) give excellent surround without even using cmss3d ! in fact cmss3d messes up the sound positioning with these settings because you are already getting surround sound

I have the same setup as your (AD700s + X-Fi Fatality Gamer) and I have no problems with sound in CoD4 with CMSS3D.

I used to use HD555's so im guessing HD555>AD700 as my sound used to be so kick ass that I had walling threads on me, now my sound is as good as a single fat chick

no, #16. The AD700 does everything better than the 555's
to the OP:

CMSS off, crystalizer on (60%), set to headphones in control panel and don't use bass boost.
