barrix Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 It says on paper it came with a headset. Two sounds for music 7.1 for gaming You will see the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathGX Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You think 7.1 is the best for gaming or the 5.1? Also, can you explain the reasons for your answer? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrix Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 That is what it said on paper I think. 7.1 is there for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Tom Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi, I enabled Virtual 7.1 and Dobly Headphones in the HS1 software. How should i configure my games in order to get the best Virtual 7.1 or Virtual 5.1 experience with the headset: 7.1, 5.1 or Stereo? Same thing when watching movies with vlc media player, should i switch to 5.1, stereo or "2 in front and 2 behind". To sum it up, does the headset emulates 7.1 best when the source (game or movie) in set to perform in stereo, 5.1 or 7.1? Thanks for any response :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammorth Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Some games will detect the default sound device and what channels they support, and output that. Other games allow you to choose the output type. Matching the output type of your game to the headphones is always the best choice. I find that using 7.1 with the headphones and then whatever the game output, to be good enough. If the movie you are watching on VLC supports 5.1 or 7.1, make sure to change your "Audio > Audio Device > (5.1/7.1)". For stereo content, you can set the headphones to stereo and enable Dolby Pro Logic to have it emulate surround sound from a stereo source. Hopefully that answers your questions.
