I'm a noob with this technical sort of stuff, but I was wondering if the audio processing stuff included in Vista is better or worse than what we had with XP.
Ok, since I am a noob, this is what I have gathered about XP's audio processing--- the k mixer is bad, and it has a degrading effect on the sound unless you decided to take steps to entirely bypass the k mixer. Correct me if I'm wrong about this. So I'm wondering, are there any improvements over XP's k mixer with what comes standard with Vista? |

QUOTE (Dogbert @ Feb 5 2007, 11:48)  Ahh, so either I am lying, or I am in a delusional state of mind . Yeah, that must be it. Seriously, try it yourself if you don't believe me. A cmedia card with digital outputs costs ~15 USD. So what happens if a second application tries to play sound? Is there clipping, or is volume reduced? |
