Just remember that if you have existing onboard audio you will want to disable it because Windows will use it by default and you might end up wondering why you do not hear anything.
I have a 5.1 speaker system with a center speaker and sub and was able to connect my speakers within moments. The back of the card has color-coded connections with clear markings of what goes where. I personally have not tried this function yet, but for those of you with a home system this could be the perfect piece to finish your setup particularly if you watch television and movies or listen to music within your office. This card has a dedicated headphone amp that provides the power needed for high quality headphones, which is important since many gamers are spending the big bucks and high-end headsets and the last thing you want is an underpowered device running them.įinally, we have the Dolby Digital Live encoding which allows you to connect your system to a home theater system using a single cable. If you have been reading our previous hardware reviews you know I am rocking the Diablo III headset and it works perfectly with the Recon 3D. I tested this in games like BF3, Star Wars the Old Republic and League of Legends and it works like a charm.
What does this mean? It means when talking your speaker noise is less likely to be heard allowing you to speak freely without others hearing your background noise. We talked about push to talk, but sometimes in some versus games you might need to be able to constantly talk and what is great about this microphone is it creates an acoustic zone suppressing noise outside that zone. Staying in the world of voice the beam-forming microphone I found is great for voice communications.
Many of the times, it is just a bad audio card or setup and crystal voice fixes that allowing you to adjust your settings within the control panel so you come through clear without the need to yell. Ever listen to horrible sounds via Ventrilo, Team Speak or Mumble? It is not always a bad microphone or that the person never uses push to talk. It is all about immersion and that is what 3D surround sound does, it makes you feel as if you are right there just as much as high resolution graphics does.Ĭrystal voice is all about audio communications, which is so important in today’s games. When you are playing a game like Battlefield 3 or World of Tanks, you want the sound of the bullets and explosions to sound real. Next, we have the THX TruStudio Pro, which is all about realism. Sometimes you might see within games that you can crank up the sound quality, but it might lower performance, not with this card. This is a quad-core audio processor that allows all the technologies running within the card to function at peak performance.
SOUND BLASTER RECON 3D FATAL1TY TRU STUDIO 720P
It is like going from 720p to 1080p you will notice the difference especially in games with 3D sound effects or where having true surround sound is important.įirst, we start with the Sound Core3D. The trick is you do not know what you are missing until you try it out and see the difference. I personally have used on-board sound and I thought it was just fine. Now, let us be fair, onboard sound can be pretty good. In the 90’s almost every gaming rig had a sound blaster inside, but today, far too many leave it up to the mainboard and far too many are missing out. People will take the time to research everything about the processor speed or video ram, but when it comes to the sound card that duty is given to the motherboard. For many, building a gaming system is all about the processor and video card.
