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? |

Jebus: HD DVD works just fine on XP. So does Blu-Ray, for that matter.

I requested that someone show me something you can do in XP that you CAN'T in vista, due to "all the DRM they added". And no, you can't legally watch HD-DVD (or even DVDs) in Linux. |

May I suggest you just give up posting on this thread and move on to a topic you actually know about? http://www.intervideo.com/jsp/LinDVD.jsp -------------------- Get up-to-date binaries of Lame, AAC, Vorbis and much more at RareWares:
