:devil: I have an audigy 1 on a windows XP system... running at 2.0ghz..

i used to use 2.0 sound because i had a set of Pro-Logic II speaks that did some neat 5.1 built in.... they fried.... so i baught some logitechs that are 6.1 ... plugged them in... switched the mixer to 5.1.. worked awsum.... was true 5.1 for the longest time... then all of a sudden i needed to do a system restore.... lost the true 5.1.... i updated the drivers.. formatted the computer... installed windows XP .... updated those crappy drivers... i only get 2.1 ... the rest are VERY faint.... i get the 5.1 when using a DVD or an EAX game....but it wont give me 5.1 all around any more... any help would be greatly accepted.. i wanna listen to my MP3's again.. in 5.1 :(

Enable CMS3Sd. It sends the stereo sound to all channels. It is located in Eax console or older software vers have hidden in PLaycenter.

So you mean playcenter needs to be installed.... ok.. it's the one that came with the card... Audigy Gamer....... can you guide me through it? and it wasnt stereo in all channels... it was litterally 5.1... like the majority of vocals was center.... basic instruments were front L + R... backup instruments were in the rear L + R

If you do not have CMSS3d in the eax control panel then open up Playcenter In the PLayer view (Small view).

Open the tray window on the side and there should be an option to enable Cmss on the bottom of the tray window also you can enable Eax.

I have found without Cmss3d enabled 5.1 does not work all that great unless you are watching dvd's or playing 5.1 games.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
