What's Up With Computer Audio?
Mr.Tweak writes "Last month during QuakeCon it became clearly apparent that computer audio has become somewhat of a forgotten component in the computer industry when talking to gamers and listening to companies at the gaming event. We'll present some benchmark numbers of five different sound solutions as well as provide commentary along the way on our thoughts of computer audio solutions and what should be done to improve things using nVidia's SoundStorm APU as an example."
It's a little hollow sometimes, but it's cheap and effective! You have to crank it though:

Never argue with an idiot, he'll just lower you to his level and beat you with experience.
Somebody should review cards with different headphones- cause everyone's mom yells at them to turn the volume down ;)
Castle Wolfenstein, first version, 2D ascii, on a Commodore 64...
They had a neat trick. To unlock safes, you had to push the volume up of your monitor to the max to hear the "click". But when an SS entered the room and screamed "Achtung" at the max volume the C64 could produce, you would jump 3 feet behind and rush to take back control of your keyboard to take whatever action necessary to get out of this mess.
The C64... ahhhhh... the good old days.
Remember the year 2000? They promised us flying cars. They delivered the PT Cruiser...
They had 5.1 headphones
Excellent, finally a product for us people with 5.1 ears!
Bah,
Not even close to the days before they even invented sound. Walking uphill barefoot in 4 feet of snow and you needed nothing to get your adrenaline going.
Damn lazy kids these days.
"5.1 headphones"? Can someone explain this to me?
Last I checked, most humans have two ears, and one headphone goes over each ear. What about the other 3.1?

Gimme those tube amps. I really can't get excited over cold digital, give the warm glow of a tube and I'm happy.
Now how do I mount valve in the PCI form factor?
THC !!! What have you been smoking ?
Now go ahead and mod me down for being a crotchety old man.
What, you're 21?
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
