Sound Card Technology
Q: Would you explain some of
your sound card technology?
A: Below are explained a some of the
sound card technology you will find in Auzentech sound
cards.
Playback
Resolution
Resolution is a key sound
card technology. The X-Mystique sound card and X-Plosion sound card have a playback
resolution of 24-bits, 96 KHz in both stereo and 7.1
channel surround sound. The X-Meridian sound card is designed to
provide a resolution that is 24-bit, 192 kHz. In
practical terms, this means that the audio coming from Auzentech sound cards is
indistinguishable from analog sources. In fact, the
majority of users will prefer the sound due to the
absence of defects such as tape hiss. For
comparison, a CD 16 bit at 44.1 kHz. DVD audio has
a sampling rate that is generally 24 bit/ at 96kHz; the
maximum is 24 bit at 192 kHz. More

and below. There must be a path below you. You move to
take position above it. The other player hears you
move, but cannot tell that you are located above. That's
where the unfair advantage comes in, and it's all
because you have a game sound card. More
