The State of PC Audio

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-you-hear-what-i-hear dept.

jonesy writes "The Tech Report has put together a pretty decent six-card sound round-up that covers the most popular audio controller chips around. DACs, ADCs, DSPs, and the other important acroymns are explained. One interesting revelation: Creative's Audigy card doesn't do 24-bit/96KHz sound, despite Creative's claims. Gaming benchmarks are provided, and the authors even take a crack at the subjective side of audio, although they seem aware of the difficulties in doing so."

  1. Slashdot hacked? by xmedh02 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I think somebody has hacked slashdot. Maybe alien-driven conspiracy. Or do you really think that this very poor review (card X costs $ Y and has chipset Z, the driver doesn't work in Windows XP and the control panel has fancy buttons) was submitted intentionally?
