  • Introduction Chapter 2 — Windows Software
    UltraSound owners have a variety of sound needs. This is a guide to help you find the best way to use your new UltraSound for your own applications. Using your UltraSound with many games is as simple as selecting UltraSound from the list of sound cards in the game’s setup. You’ll hear extraordinary wavetable sound as soon as you begin the game. To use UltraSound with games that do not yet support the card directly, you may need some help getting started. UltraSound works with programs written for General MIDI, Sound Blaster, Ad Lib, Roland MT-32, and Roland SCC1. Read Chapter 6, “Game Sound Support,” for an explanation of the sound options available with UltraSound. Explore the file playing, recording, and mixing features of your UltraSound right away using the simple sound applets that come with Windows version 3.1 or later. Use Media Player to play sound files with your UltraSound. Or hook up a microphone and use Sound Recorder to record, mix, and play your own sounds. See the Windows manual or Sound Recorder’s on-line help for instructions. Open the UltraSound Mixer to enable inputs and outputs, set playback volume, and control CD and Microphone inputs. The settings you choose from the Mixer applet are only valid for the current Windows session until you save them. Once you have had a chance to explore your UltraSound’s features with these simple applications, try the great bonus software included in your UltraSound package. Advanced Gravis has included a number of terrific software applications for recording, playing, mixing, and composing sounds and music with your new UltraSound.

  • Frequently Asked Questions About Sound Blaster X7 Ver
    Frequently Asked Questions about the Sound Blaster X7 General 1. Why is the Sound Blaster X7 so light? The Sound Blaster X7 was designed with an external power adapter, as opposed to regular amplifiers with internal transformers, which greatly takes away the bulk and weight from the product itself. The combined weight of the Sound Blaster X7 unit together with the power adapter is approximately 1.1 kg. The Sound Blaster X7 was engineered and designed for power efficiency, heat management and component synergy, resulting in reduced overall weight. We also wanted to create a product with a small footprint that can easily placed next to a desktop computer or in a living room home audio setup. 2. How is heat being managed on the Sound Blaster X7? The Sound Blaster X7 uses an efficient power amplifier that only requires a small heat sink for heat dissipation. The Sound Blaster X7 also complies with ErP, the latest European Union Directive for energy management. 3. Do I need to upgrade to the 24V, 6A high power adapter? The Sound Blaster X7 comes bundled with a 24V, 2.91A power adapter, which should give you 20+20W – 27+27W (into 8 ohms speakers) and 35+35W – 38+38W (into 4 ohms speakers) in normal usage scenarios. Such output power is sufficient in an average room setup. You will only need an upgrade to the higher power adapter if you require more audio power. Connectivity to Audio/Video (AV) Systems 1. I currently have an AV system at home. How do I connect the Sound Blaster X7 to it? You can connect the Sound Blaster X7 to your home AV system via TOSLINK*.

    Die approbierte Originalversion dieser Diplom-/Masterarbeit ist an der Hauptbibliothek der Technischen Universität Wien aufgestellt (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at). The approved original version of this diploma or master thesis is available at the main library of the Vienna University of Technology (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at/englweb/). MASTERARBEIT Foundations for Music-Based Games Ausgeführt am Institut für Gestaltungs- und Wirkungsforschung der Technischen Universität Wien unter der Anleitung von Ao.Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Peter Purgathofer und Univ.Ass. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Martin Pichlmair durch Marc-Oliver Marschner Arndtstrasse 60/5a, A-1120 WIEN 01.02.2008 Abstract The goal of this document is to establish a foundation for the creation of music-based computer and video games. The first part is intended to give an overview of sound in video and computer games. It starts with a summary of the history of game sound, beginning with the arguably first documented game, Tennis for Two, and leading up to current developments in the field. Next I present a short introduction to audio, including descriptions of the basic properties of sound waves, as well as of the special characteristics of digital audio. I continue with a presentation of the possibilities of storing digital audio and a summary of the methods used to play back sound with an emphasis on the recreation of realistic environments and the positioning of sound sources in three dimensional space. The chapter is concluded with an overview of possible categorizations of game audio including a method to differentiate between music-based games.
