Re: New Realtek HD audio driver update
Heres the way I am going to solve my problem. I got two choices, figure out what the heck OpenAL support is and if it is fixable through drivers. If so then I am going to get the new Tritton AXPC headphones for about $73. They connect through USB 1.1 or 2.0 and I have 2.0 so it will work even better in theory. The only problem with them is right now they have problems with OpenAL games which are basically all the newer vista games. If you know anything about that and/or if it can be fixed through drivers then I want to go with that choice. If it can't be fixed then I will wait because my other choice is buying the Fatality gaming headset from creative and getting the X-FI xtreme fatality pro or w/e it is with it. That will cost around $200, but it does support OpenAL because creative is partnered with OpenAL and they are the only ones right now to bring it into vista...Any suggestion or other ideas are welcome.
