Computing / Help! Sound! Agh!

« on: October 24, 2007, 03:16:57 AM »

Just bought a new soundcard. "Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme audio"

Got the sound working beautifully with everything (finally) but the only problem is...my new headset I got, can't get the mic to work.
Now...i'll tell you how I got all this setup.
Its set with 4.1 sound for the speakers, I got 2 desktop speakers, and 2 floor house speakers hooked in the back in the X-Fi soundcard.
I got my headset plugged in my front sound port (on-board disabled) but it works, I dunno how that works, I thought the front input was part of the onboard sound.
Anyway, I tried plugging the mic in both the front port and the port on the soundcard itself, with the settings set to microphone (other settings are What U Hear, Line-In, S-PDIF-In and Auxiliary.
So, set it to Mic, did the test hardware, didn't work in either one of the ports, tried all the other settings, but the only thing that worked was the "What U Hear" setting.
Can't seem to get the mic to work. Any help? Everything i'm using is BRAND NEW so I don't think its a hardware problem. I also tried with the original drivers installed, and also with the ones Spec has in that Hackintosh thread (Which i'm currently using)
I must be doing something wrong somewhere.

Yeah, its the final screen after you beat the game. I took the SS myself at the exact moment all the eyes lit up, and saved it as my bg. I love it

I was searching for a few and found 1 that was amazing. "Growler Guncam" Fantastic frames, dosen't slow down your game at all...only problem, the audio recording is shitty and WAYYY out of sync. Anyone know any good ideal game recording programs that give good fps and sound quality/sync?
Don't say Fraps, cause its choppy when recording.

Ok, i'll explain it 1 step at a time.
Another thing, alot of people think..."its fast so there couldn't have been much he really had to do"
Little do they know....lol.

First off, start from the beginning..step by step of what I do.

1. Shoot an exit portal at the wall in front of me, shoot an entrance portal under me; fall through the entrance under me, and exit out the wall in front of me (to save time from walking down the hall)

2. Shoot an exit portal behind the box on the upper ledge you cannot jump up on, and an entrance portal on the wall. Go through the entrance portal on the wall, grab the box through it, jumped down to the lower floo, stood on the button that opened the door, shot an exit portal on the celing through the security door, grabbed the box and walked through the entrance portal behind me, falling through the exit hole through the celing in the other room.

3. Shot an exit portal in the celing above the far security door button, shot an entrance portal under the box, box falls through the entrance portal and falls on the far security door button out of the exit portal.

4. Shot an exit portal above the closer security door button, then shot a portal under me, I fell through and landed on the second security button.

5. Far door opens, Shot an exit portal on the wall past the second security door, then an entrance portal on the wall behind me.

6. Walk through the entrance portalbehind me, exiting out the exit portal past the security door.

7. Walk to the exit.

8. Celebrate.

So yeah, first off, I had to actually figure out how to go through the level as fast as possible (which took a hell of a long time) then you actually have to DO it, which took even longer. By the way, didn't use any saves throughout the video it was just a straight run.
Ps: the Celebrating was pretty hard to accomplish

I have no idea how to do that lol.

But the strange thing is...I had a copy of a legit fraps a looong while back, and it was on my shitty ass computer, and I was getting quite good fps with it...it hardly dimmed it down at all.

I can gladly say, I figured this out on my own, no walkthru's or anything! (Only time I used a walkthru was on the chamber 18 advanced puzzle, and even then, I didn't really need it, I was missing small dumb stuff)
I don't care what anyone sais, this was DAMN HARD to figure out and get down perfect (well, close to perfect, 40fps while recording = bleh. I could prolly shave a second off the time) after a while. I'm quite proud of myself.

Wewt?

P.s: Thanks to Zakamiro for the song Pendulum is awesome! (Whats a cool video without cool music, right?)
P.p.s: I'll prolly be making more videos of other achievements when I find a better program that dosen't make me lag as much.
