Fancy soundcards

[blondeattk]

Havent owned one for a long time.

Just relied on the soundchip that comes on the motherboard.

There any point in getting a fancy soundcard to play on p99?

I wont be setting up surround speakers in the pc room, or dont plan to atmo. WOuld that make a big differnce t eq?

AM more interested in the quality of the sound.

Probably have 30-44 quid to spend, is that just too low to hear any differnce?

DO have a hfi ampi can rig up but atmoi use senheisser headphones to play with.

SO whats other folks setup?>

A lot of people play with sound off. That is about how much you need a fancy sound card. EQ sound is nothing special.

The quality of the sound effects are very primitive, that its almost worse to have a good sound card. I quite often play internet radio or youtube as background music

You don't need a fancy card for them, but I like the sounds in eq. Music and spell sound effects are my favorite. I can't imagine playing without sound (especially when you need to hear mobs around you that are out of camera view).

If you're an alt tabber between pulls, its helpful to have the sound on so you know there's a mob in the camp... I'm guessing wizards/etc don't care though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

there is a thread somewhere with instructions to install a plugin/codec that simulates old sound cards from 1999-era

your idea of buying a new card and expecting it to improve archaic .midi source files that the gaming industry hasn't used in 15 years is quite stupid

If your computer can currently play the game sounds you don't need to upgrade and can probably find something much better to spend your quid on.
