It's a discreet 7.1 analog. Digital Optical connections are attached and switchable. DVD movies make use of the optical out via the DVD software to make use of the digital decoding.

Do any of you guys out there have to deal with friends/family looking down their nose at your hobby? There seems to be this perception that gaming is not something you should be doing as an adult. The irony of it, game contents have been more and more "mature" since the likes of Doom and Grand …

Can't really provide images right now but I'm using some old Creative 5.1 speakers that I wanted my father to get together after buying me a Audigy 2 ZS for UT2003 when that game came out. Is that Cambridge Soundworks? The 2002 model? I remember CGW editor O'Neal recommended Creative Cambridge …

Anyway, I should add that large diameter woofers do not necessarily produce thunderous bass. Instead, they can give you deeper, more accurate bass, since large diameter woofers produce certain amount of SPL with less excursion . Small diameter woofers, on the other hand, needs more excursion to …

woofers: JBL 128H-1 30cm cone 12" woofers! Screw me. How do you manage not to get yourself blown out of the window? Oh no, no. The woofers are not "boomy". On the contrary, they're VERY musical. That is, the bass sounds "tight" and accurate, yet it is still strong when it needs to. Okay, I still …

Vintage (1984) JBL 120Tis driven by vintage (1975) Sansui AU-7900. :) The 120Tis. They sound flawlessly, although they need cosmetic restoration. Unfortunately I'm still too busy for it right now.

Update: d'oh! I didn't read Malik's thread before posting here. Apparently he has uploaded Sound Blaster drivers and files to Vogons Drivers, here. I think you can find MUSIC.EXE and SBMIDI.EXE in Sound Blaster Pro installation disks.

Waidda minute. Apparently SBMIDI can use external MIDI module instead of Sound Blaster's own FM synthesizer. This is from a page named "Power Worm manual" (whatever the game is). -I have a wavetable/MPU401 device and I get synthesizer/no music. Run SBMIDI /3 So, apparently, SBMIDI /3 tells the …

I think what you need is MIDI player for DOS , although I don't know where can you find MT-32 specific MIDI songs you want. Still, GM music generally sounds better on MT-32 than on Sound Blaster FM IMO. Also, among SB Pro utilities there is a neat command line application named MUSIC.EXE, which …

Puppy is one of these live CDs. You boot from the CD and there was a utility to display these flags / bits. But it was years ago and the solution to my CF cards not booting was running FDISK/MBR. Had to do the same with pretty much every new CF card I got. I see, so I guess FDISK/MBR also sets the …

Now my memory is fading, but I do remember using puppy linux to take a look at this flag for removable drive. I believe it also allowed changing it.
