Check the properties in device manager to look for video and sound card using the same IRQ's.
Some video cards insist on using a certain IRQ or DMA channel, as my Visiontek GF2, that wants IRQ 11.
I reassigned the resources of my scsi and onboard sound to leave IRQ 11 open to be assigned to my videocard.

Can you imagine how pissed the engineers are? To keep working on a basic design but can't get a consistent product from China?
Has anyone had any problems with the non-electrical componets of any of the Klipsch line? It seems to that all their problems is related to what's farmed out overseas.
The proplems reported on this web site could be the results of 1 or 2 cases of out of spec. parts per run on the assembly-line. How that rates statistically, who knows? not my job. That so many of the problems showing up online is no supprise, most of us found out about them on the net, anyway.
But how many company forums do you find where you can bi tch about their product like you can here.

Has the warrenty changed or has there been different warrenties by different venders?
When shopping around I found that everybody had the v2's at the same price, so I started looking at warrenties. The warrenties, at the time I purchased mine, it was 1 year for the electronics and 5 years for the speakers themselves. Vanns was big about the THX certification and had free 2nd day shipping. Outpost was doing the free overnight shipping. Vanns had the best extended warrenty.
You know that a repair shop will charge an hour + parts, or a board from a used sub for $150 isn't worth the risk of more repairs. Especially when you can get a brandnew set of v2's at vanns.com for $199 shipped. Maybe even selling the extended warrenties??

That's why you do the harddrive hack. How much for a 30gig 2.5 drive? That alone's a couple hundred.

Haven't had a chance to check this one;
Oh yeah, the old NJB has front and rear mini's.

DVD-Ram, Firewire, ethernet, modem, 802.11b, and since your talking Gateway, maybe a ZV-DVD card.(very much unsupported with w2k drivers, but will give you hardware DVD decoding, s-videwo & a RCA jacks, it's own 1/8" miniplug, and a S/PDIF)
-
Set your DVD software to s/pdif passthru, your soundcards' versa jack to digital s/pdif out, and have your speakers set for DD decoding.
-
vanns.com may have free shipping. Order by phone and ask about warrenties for THX speakers. I love that warrenty.

If computer images are suppose to be higher rez., why do broadcast and dvd look better on a TV?

Get a reciever that decodes DTS, has full sets of analog in & out, high quality D/A converters.

$249 gets the v2-400's at your door, 2 days. They would match the one I have for an 800 watts 8.2, still thinking about the Inca 88. 2 sets of v2-400, I'm a sucker for punishment.
-
I bet its really hard to get a consistant product from China. Go to lunch and your parts are out the door, replaced, and someone saved $40. And thats the nice version of how it happens.

Looking at the price of Yamaha's developement lic. it won't be long.
Creative is just milking the market while they can. Power-DVD is already shipping some kinda' 7.1 version with the Inca 88, 8 channel studio card.
Hey Justin, look at the DSP's on the Luna II card, and that's just the little one.

The last time I looked at vanns.com they were doing the free shipping.

I have a dead 32X scsi slot load. The mechanism went, it clicks a few times, stops, and cycles again. I have to use the eject prod to change cd's. Died 2 months after warrenty.
Plus slots don't accept the little 3" disks.

There are fire-wire set-ups as the Luna II and the 24/96DAC box at Creamware, and Yahama has a developement kit for M-lan(?) using 20 bits. Both will do 8 channels.

If this guy is still around, the Clark county metro(Las Vegas) PD is braggin' about their cyber-crime unit. His best bet here.

Yeah, I was wrong on that. I've been looking for DTS decoders they've begun to run together. DTS-audio is hard to find.
Do you think the Nvidia's dolby encoding will be a lower fidelity? Seems like a big jump in terms of processing.

The tornado only has stereo analog input?
The ADS will allow 5.1 analog input. Same price?
-
Good stereo sound by a USB device used by someone on this board, if he sees the notebook reference he'll respond.
There are 2 PCMCIA cards that support s/pdif passthru to a reciever. ZV-DVD and Margi's DVD2GO. The ZV-DVD is for Hewlett-Packard and the Margi works with any ZV-port. The ZV-dvd is $30 on E-Bay.

Get a dual head Matrox G450 w/tv at pricewatch for $70, twice that if you want 32mb ddr ram. Matrox=good-drivers, mmm...

Does it have to be componet a/v equipment? How about a DVD, music, gaming setup?(I'm not talking about a g-force3, unless u want, but lots of hd space to have the games on harddisk so you don't have handle cd disks)
A Matrox Dual G450 W/tv , monitor in front of the big-screen, twinhead gaming at its' best. Matrox has some of the best tv outs.
Up to 4 DVDs, make 1 a burnproof cdrom recorder will fill the onboard IDEs.
Get a Promise FastTrac Raid controler. 4 @ 80 gig hds for the family's music archive & Divix files. 300 gig, might hold a few.
Music, Klipsch, of course. But all this about 4.1 and 5.1. AC3 and DTS now. Next Digital EX by dolby, then DTS-ES, then Sony's SDDS 6.2, all this within a couple of years.
What I suggest for sound is an Inca88 board and 2 sets of the 4.1s. Be carefull about the motherboard, pro studio boards sometime don't like some VIA chipsets. Power-DVD, gaming surround, q-sound support, multiple-descrete headphone support(like the pros), and to top it off it is a 8 channel recording studio also support power for mike that require such, just go look at the specs.
And 2 sets of 4.1s, I don't have to explain that, here, do I?
