LivingGhost Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Basically, I am considering upgrading my computer, along with a new soundcard. Now, apparently, the RAZER soundcard is really good, so I wanted to get a deal and get the soundcard and headphones in a bundle. Now, what I want to do is keep my X-Fi in my computer, and use it for my speakers, whilst using the RAZER card for the RAZER headphones. (I of course wouldn't be using the headphones and speakers at the same time.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Yes you can. You just have to switch between the two in volume control. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingGhost Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Ok, thanks. Anyone have any suggestions for me against the razer bundle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffeinejunkie Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Ok, thanks. Anyone have any suggestions for me against the razer bundle? I say go for it. I only have the headphones but they're amazing even without the card. I can actually hear parts in songs that I didnt know existed and gaming with them is amazing (you can pretty much pinpoint close enemys based on footsteps alone).

LivingGhost Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) Ok, thanks. Grrr. RAZER isn't doing their xmas bundle anymore. Well, I can get them for around $300 from thenerds.net and newegg, so I'll do that tomorrow...

kingdingeling Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 froogle it, and see what kinna deals you get! Also check www.clubit.com, awesomeist store in the united states! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingGhost Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) I used pricegrabber. The headphones are pretty much the same everywhere. Thenerds had the best deal/rating on the soundcard. I still need to order, probably today. Is it just me, or is clubit newegg with a different color scheme?

hardnrg Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 since the AC-1 does real-time Dolby encoding (AC3 and DTS), i have to ask *why* you want two soundcards? surely the AC-1 could do both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingGhost Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 since the AC-1 does real-time Dolby encoding (AC3 and DTS), i have to ask *why* you want two soundcards? surely the AC-1 could do both? I already have one, and I don't feel like selling it. I think my Logitech (Logitec?) Z-5500's can do digital audio. On the "Hub" here, it has a digital coax and "optical" input.

hardnrg Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 well, if you're getting the AC-1 for the headphones, it just seems like a bit pointless to have two soundcards... the z-5500 have digital capability with a dolby decoder built in... the AC-1 just seems like a superior soundcard, so i think of it like having a ball-mouse and then getting an optical gaming mouse, but keeping both connected because you love the ball-mouse or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingGhost Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I suppose I mght just be getting it for the headphones. But I could do without Creative drivers on my computer. >_> Plus, doesn't Creative's soundcards not do digital? Just analog? How much do you think I could get for my X-Fi platinum?
