That is done by the CPU, unless you happen to have a hardware soundcard (like an X-Fi) and a game that knows how to use it. That means that they have to process it for the final output, before sending it out. Games don't store their sounds in a fixed format like movies, since they have to react to the environment. Also games are doing all their processing in software, on the CPU, in a setup where you use the video card for HDMI sound.

I can see why people aren't that interested. It all works, don't get me wrong, but it isn't the simplest solution in the world. So I have to have a setup where the computer thinks I have two monitors, but in fact only one of them is a monitor, the other is a dummy video feed for the receiver to get sound over (HDMI audio requires a video clock). Problem is that going through the receiver I can't get the resolution I want, and also can't communicate with the monitor for colour control. Yet another problem is that in many setups you may have to run a second cable and do dual monitor outputs, even though you don't have two monitors. Because of that (and wanting EAX) I got a HTHD. So then when something new played, you didn't hear it at first as the stream came up and the receiver locked on to it. Whenever audio streams stopped playing for a bit, it would shut down the signaling to the receiver. I played with my 5870 when I got it and HDMI audio was problematic. You have to be willing to spend a good bit more to do a receiver + speakers setup.Īnother is just that video card HDMI outputs don't seem to be very good when it comes to sound. Now they are much higher quality, of course, but the cost is an issue for many people. You'll spend as much on a cheap receiver as you would on a whole 5.1 computer speaker system. I do indeed have an HDMI audio setup myself, but it is a bit of a pain.įor one you have to have a receiver and said speakers. If I find the Titanium HD to be superior to the Essence I will post back. The drop in FPS between it and the Essence was not noticeable using an i7 at 3.8Ghz and GTX 470s in SLI but the difference in sound quality was. I have tried the X-Fi Titanium Fatl1ty, which is very similar to the Titanium HD, and was not at all impressed with the sound quality. I have a bit of a sound card fetish so I try nearly every new high end sound card that comes out. To be fair I have not tried the Titanium HD yet but I will. A proper headphone amp that sounds as good would cost far more.

The Xonar Essence is actually a steal at $199.

I would gladly sacrifice 5-10 FPS for proper audiophile sound. I am primarily a headphone gamer (Denon AH-D7000) and let me tell you the sound quality difference between my Xonar Essence and any Creative card I have tried is very apparent. I'm amazed that in this day and age there are still people that will put up with subpar bloated Creative drivers and mediocre sound for the small benefit of audio acceleration.
