creative sound blaster x fi titanium review

I always thought that the rear channels in games were muddy and often too low, who knew it was just the card itself? I have to agree with Valagard that positional audio is MUCH better with this card. If you ever get rid of it, make sure to buy a older receiver with analog 5/7.1 ext inputs for the newer 4K stuff doesnt have those inputs anymore, and though you can select DDL or DTSI for sound, older games, and newer games, will only play sound in stereo over the spdif (coaxial) line, and need the run the 5/7.Got the Z today and after a lot of tweaking I'm starting to enjoy it more over my Titanium card. Other then that, as mentioned several post above, windows ditched the ability to make use of various sound enhancements, so unless you are running windows 2000 or xp, you really dont need a different card and keep using the one you have, or if you can live with losing 3 fps in your games, switch over to the on board card, for in the audio/video forum section there is several threads that you can used to mod the realtek drivers to do some outstanding stuff that creative cannot do at all, even with their newest cards outīTW, its kick ass that you are still running that Z5500 set! I used to have it back in the day till I sold it and went with hometheater receivers to handle all my sound for I like having much more inputs and outputs, plus bigger speakers and fuller sound. The only performance gains you will get using a dedicated card now a days is taking the loads off your cpu and gaining a few extra fps's.
