Yea just plug in your headphones into the controller or PC. If you run the youtube demo I put above it should be the same thing as if you paid for the codecs. You get to compare all 3. I like DTS;X the most. I found it cheaper than Dolby in terms of cost, but I got Dolby on Sale.

You don't need a sound card. All the processing is likely being done on the CPU. I had a sound card; bless my Audigy, but I lost it when I tossed it out to do coin mining! stupid!

It's nice we are getting back into dedicated hardware for 3D sound though. We had a wicked hey day way back when Aurreal and Creative and others were duking it out. So sad to see it all go. Nice to see the comeback, but the players are now these professional sound CODECs. Curious to see who else will want to enter this space.

Yeah, I remember using for the first time my Sound Blaster with Alone In the Dark!, exciting times!.

heh yea. That was super long time ago, I think they only supported reverb types. The later bits they really started to compete on 3D audio and then it all suddenly fell flat for some reason. I don't know why.

Man I was so invested in Creative Labs audio - I bought these cambridge speaker sets to just take full advantage of them. And then bam, all gone. No more

The best day in my PC Gaming era was when I was able to ditch all Creative products from my system. No more crashes! That first audio through HDMI via the GPU was such a blessing. :love:
 
I'm looking forward to improved audio. For my PS3, I had it plugged via optical into a little adapter box, which had a 3.5mm output. It simulated 5.1 (well, 5, I suppose) pretty well through my wireless headphones.

It was great playing The Last of Us with those. Alas, I eventually got home drunk one evening and ended up breaking them :mad:

Well, at least I got to smash TLoU with them :love:
 
Sharing some patents that surfaced yesterday.

The first is a more efficient DC/DC converter. Efficiency on these can save a lot of power, as Vcore can draw ~100A. This simplifies the design by eliminating current sense resistors. Based on the timing, this could be a Pro or PS5 conception.

The second is for an apparatus that has two batteries because the device has a need for short durations or high current that the primary battery can’t supply. I’m guessing this is for haptics.

Those were the times, instead of forums we spent our time against config.sys trying to get more expanded or extended memory!.

Is that what you think ears are for :oops:

I think my problem is that I've been using fleshlights wrongly. I just held one up to my ear and I could hear the ocean, so they're clearly designed to be headphones.

Trouble is, with all the ones I've got, the ear cup doubles as the 3.5mm input.

Indeed, speakers for PC is largely dead now.
Even the latest Sound Blaster stuff is all headphone based. Sweet amp though.

What are PC's like for connecting to AV receivers these days? It's been a fair few years since I used a PC for gaming and entertainment, so things will likely be pretty different now, but I recall it being a real pain in the tits to get the PC to pass anything more than stereo.

Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic HRTF, DTS HeadphonesX: 2.0

I have Atmos on PC and it has better positional audio but no where near that virtual barber shop clip in games. In fact in COD warzone it's only slightly better than whatever warzone uses on PS4.

I play on both depending who's paying which machine in my house hold.

AV receivers? You could just pass your HDMI directly to the receiver if you support that.
If not, you can optical out.
If not, you can coax out.

Yea agreed. Much more to be desired. Is Call of Duty vs Call of Duty Warzone the same?
Both support DTS:X but not Dolby Atmos
But that's the CODEC trying to emulate, not a game made for the CODEC.
Try Gears 5. I think it does it a lot better for dolby atmos.
Noting though; I've not tried say a Creative Labs 3D positional audio vs these for headset emulation.

Have you tried this on Call of Duty?

I recommend you these pair of inexpensive Sennheiser ones, cant find something better for the price:

I was trying before HDMI was a thing. I kept trying via optical but it kept failing. Or, probably more accurately, I kept failing.

Sennheiser are great. Had some wireless headphones of theirs (the kind where there's a dock/base that plugs into a 3.5mm output) and loved them. Once my bloody DBS check comes back and I can actually begin work again, some more of those are going to be high on my list!

you would need to set it to full 5.1 bit stream out.
If you didn't have that option back then, that would explain the failure.
