Just for kicks, try your mic before and after the driver update, you'll be amazed

Will do. I'll post back with my results.

Weird though, that's what ASUS gives me for the Channel Setup...

[cadaveca]

technically, they are correct. But do you want to change the settings every time you do something different?


Also, that is a standard message, that doesn't really apply when in Vista...your settings in the Xonar control panel also change the settings within Vista...so this is what Vista shows as active channels, so enabling 8 channels(7.1) isn't going to really add anything for you, except for cpu time, as the extra channels are downmixed to your set-up...

Likewise..selecting 6 channels, and then going to headphone on the output side, will see gull surround downmixed to 2 channel. That panel is your access to configure how the sound will be encoded...for analogue speakers, it's not so important, but it far different if using the coaxial connection.

Well my Headset it 5.1, not stereo, so I shouldn't have to worry about 6 channels. I splitted them with Y splitters, work perfectly fine. Alright, so I will leave it like that then.

Thanks again for your help

Well, I was actually messing with the settings cause my system was lagging and having spike while playing WoW... so yeah after an hour of ressearch I found out I was folding while playing
