osu needs flac support
- Did you check if the issue is with the PC sound devices and not the headset itself? (the headset might bleed sound to the mic channel).ZzzBlackLight wrote:
Okay, so my problem is that when I got a new PC with a new sound card, it sucked. It was much more quiet than the last one I had even though it's Realtek too - I fixed than problem a bit though through tweaking settings and setting the equalizer. My headset is quite nice and had no problems whatsoever on my old PC. The reason why I want a sound card is the problem which it makes when talking on any Voice program - skype, teamspeak, anything. I tried uninstalling my card drivers, going on stock windows ones and it didn't fix it too.
I got an On/Off switch on my headphones. Let's say, I speak with someone on skype. I want to listen to a song with my headphones, so I put my mic off. I start the song, everything is nice, but the person i'm talking to is hearing everything I can hear in my PC, even though the mic is off. I read for a week already, people told me to disable Stereo Mix or "What you hear" which I did, it didn't help. Changing the places of my plugs didn't help either, the same thing is happening and everyone can hear what I hear. Messing around with settings didn't help, nothing did. Many people post these problems on forums and none of them had a good and helpful answer, that's why I didn't bother to even try and ask on forums. The only thing that might help is just change the sound card, so I came to ask if there is lag so I can't play osu! anymore. I don't know what the hell I should do with it right now, I'm so pissed. I don't think you guys will be able to help me, but if someone knows why this might be happening please help me ._.
Yes, I did check that the problem is the sound device, even with my headset completely unplugged, whenever I try to record something the other person can hear my system sounds.Full Tablet wrote:

Record something? Maybe it enables Stereomix, while recording.ZzzBlackLight wrote:

I mean record like just press the talk button and let a song in winamp run. The other person can hear it. Is it even possible to enable stereomix by itself? o_oNoYzE wrote:

Yes, I know. Many people can't even achieve that when streaming for example, and they can hear my voice and the system with a quality as high as me, like a normal twitch.tv stream. I'll try to mess around tomorrow a bit with the drivers, maybe it will help but I tried it so many times I don't think it will. Still hoping for someone with a not integrated sound card to tell me an opinion about it. Thanks for helping me by the wayNoYzE wrote:

That's very weird.(
I told you my opinion about it in my first post. I had used a xonar sound card for a while, and it's very difficult to play with. You can even ask lolcubes about it.ZzzBlackLight wrote:

Well, to begin with it was about how the gameplay with other than on-board sound cards is, but it kinda changed along way.Lach wrote:

The card also seemed to cause bluescreens, but that could have to do with my motherboard, or something. I hardly notice the difference in audio quality between onboard, and shit sound card, for mp3s used in this game, since they sound terrible to begin with.
This thread sounds like it belongs more in tech support, than in gameplay & rankings.
You can try reinstalling your sound drivers. Volume from your card should not be a problem unless your headphones have a higher than normal impedance. Also confirming that headphones do a lot more for sound quality than sound cards do. Most onboard sound is good enough these days.ZzzBlackLight wrote:

And I don't want it to be 100% for better quality, just wanted to get it louder. My current card is to quiet for my liking.
My headset is Creative Fatal1ty HS-800. The motherboard is msi B85-G43, quite a new one. I'm going to try to install the sound drivers from scratch.RaneFire wrote:
Tech support problem maybe, but it's not specifically related to osu!
Can you provide the exact motherboard brand/model? I wouldn't trust google for finding out if other people have problems with this model though, it's kinda pointless unless you know what you're looking for. Everyone is too quick to blame everything in their PC. Also what headphones do you have?

Also try Control Panel > Sound > Communications > Do Nothing.
I have to use this myself, because my sound misbehaves at times and stays stuck on low volume. I also disable echo-cancellation and other automatic features in my voip applications since they also misbehave with the realtek drivers... and plugging in new USB devices mutes the current application in windows repeatedly until I restart it ?? ?? ...Blimey.
USB headsets can have a noticeable delay.ZzzBlackLight wrote:
I still plan to change my headset to some USB now, I'm sick of Jacks and that sort of thing.
Please tell me you're joking. I don't think about something like a 5$ mic, more something like a Razer Kraken on USB 3.0, would that have delay too? o_oFull Tablet wrote:

I don't think that it was a "gaming keyboard", probably something shitty. Most mechanical kb's are usb as I recall, so they can't have delay lolol.WolfCoder wrote:
USB delaying or not depends on the driver software.
I once showed my friend osu! and I realized his supposedly expensive USB "gaming keyboard" with macro buttons and glowing lights had a delay so bad I might as well have been playing from Mars. Remember, simple and solid.
I've tried the integrated Realtek audio chip on my motherboard (ASRock 970 Extreme3), and didn't notice a difference at all in-comparison to my Xonar DG.ZzzBlackLight wrote:
...because the integrated realtek sucks as everyone knows.

I'd recommend onboard audio before any USB audio. I've never heard of a good USB audio solution yet, and mainly only hear of problems with them. I even had an old Logitech USB headset take out a port on my laptop before because the headset's controller overheated or something and fried...ZzzBlackLight wrote:

I was using the low latency unixonar drivers, and I'm aware of the things that GX did. I have since done a fresh windows install, so I may chuck it back in and see if it still causes bluescreens, because it was pretty nice for listening to music because of the options.Espionage724 wrote:

I have a ASUS Xonar DG, and play osu! just fine (no bluescreens or whatever was mentioned), and I'm real sensitive to any kind of delay. I'm using UniXonar modded drivers though with the Low DPC latency package on Windows 7 (8 and 8.1 had issues). Can't speak for the quality of ASUS's drivers, but I've heard a good bit of negative things.
But in any case, if using an ASUS card, don't keep the audio control panel open if you don't have to (adds onto DPC latency), and don't enable GX mode, ever (that alone is the root cause of most bluescreen-related incidents along with audio crackling and etc. with ASUS cards).
