On the topic of ContentID, isn't it possible for a total unrelated third party to blatantly abuse the system to try to take down videos just to take down videos? i.e. the proverbial troll who hates the reviewer(s). I remember hearing about a incident that went like that, someone got contentID …

YouTube wouldn't of been this way if the founders didn't allow themselves to get bought out by Google. But the only way for Google to change the things people complain about is a boycott. A petition isn't going to do much if at all anything but everybody outright stopping the use of YouTube all at …

I know what I'm going to say is never going to happen but everyone just needs to ultimately stop using YouTube in a massive boycott and move to something else like DailyMotion. That's probably the only way a company will understand that they've done something wrong, too bad that'll never happen …

Yeah exactly, I have to restart that retarded service just to fix the problem but it's temporary... Sometimes I wish Creative would just open source their drivers so someone with a actual brain can produce something that works...

My mother used to get on my case about every video game my Father gave me, from Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM to even Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries.

Seeing how I struggle with getting drivers of any kind to work on this system, it's probably the reason why it's not working for me properly. I figured out how to get the Creative ASIO to work in OpenMPT (I feel kind of embarrassed for not figuring this out sooner) but I'm running into oddities with …

ASIO4ALL uses "Kernel Streaming", which is why you have to have absolutely nothing else using software audio processing for it to work properly. I'm going to guess because of that it bypasses Windows' audio resampler. Also believe it or not, that actually provides the best low latency and quality …

Creative includes its own ASIO, it sounds logical ASIO4ALL underruns. Creative's ASIO doesn't work at all, even still it's nothing to do with ASIO4ALL... I'm saying Windows Audio fails at retrieving What U Hear when I'm using a ultra low latency output source. I wish there was a way to actually …

I'd buy it if it ripped off of Abuse rather than Duke and kept the same "fake" EGA. (Because I like mouse aiming side scrollers)

I don't think this hotfix relates to anything I'm talking about... I said that it sounds like a underrun issue, infact if I look in Audacity I can see it's dropping samples. Restarting the audio service clears it up only temporarily. The sampling rate of the What U Hear is set to the native rate my …

I just somehow fixed it by restarting the ENTIRE audio service... but it wasn't long before the problem came back a few hours later. and by distortion I mean, it's like it's under running somehow. Something that can easily be fixed if the stupid audio buffering in Windows 7 was not hardcoded. EDIT: …

Specifically I recently ended up having to use alchmey for almost everything imaginable, because Windows 7 ends up chopping and skipping the audio otherwise. And to add insult to injury if I try to record audio in my games through "What U Hear" it's all COMPLETELY distorted.... Tried googling, came …

Some of the ditties actually seem to have better sounds to them, the Ur Quan dreadnought for example. And yes I was particularly after the opening title screen music and victory screens.
