Re: Good headset?
said by SmackWeasel  :One other thing you should check in your in-game setting, under "sound", if there is on fact a setting for this (BF2 has one); check to make sure your settings are for software or hardware sound. Again, on-board MOBO sound = software. Add on soundcard = hardware. That's what I was commenting on--the in-game setting shouldn't affect how my voice sounds over Vent. I'll check Vent quality without WoW running. I'm running an i7 920 with 6GB ram, and assumed I'd have the cycles to run voice through the CPU. I'll check out the Creative Labs card you linked.

1 edit | Yea your system should be beefy enough to handle the load
while in game, as well as with other tasks. Two things I may conclude with:
1) You could check bios setting to see whether your on-board sound is set properly. It may in fact be set for off board sound (hardware) or even a lower codec value. Assuming you didn't build the PC, after buying it without a hardware soundcard, I would think the factory setting by default was for software sound. But what the heck, check it anyway.
2) In an earlier post you wondered whether Your MOBO has shoddy audio. You might not be far off with that Assessment.
Your motherboard uses what's called digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion or, a "codec" chip. (the PC is digital your headset/speakers are analog) the quality of analog audio depends on the quality of the codec used on the motherboard.
Generally hardware sound cards offer a higher codec value than motherboards offer. As well as full duplex 24 bit sound resolution, higher sampling rates, higher signal to noise ratios. Personally I would never use my MOBO for sound.

I love my Razer Carcharias headset.

For $80, it's well worth it. I don't think I've ever used a headset as nice as this. |

Yo Krisnatharok, it's been awhile. I'm curious about whether or not your sound issue was resolved.
