setup Medusa 5.1 USB headset

[Ojisan_Buba]

Sorry to say and dont want to offend anyone, but this is not helping me at all.
Now this hole topic is full of medusa amplifier or plug setup trhough the sound card.

Plse keep this topic clean: Im asking help for setting up a Medusa 5.1 USB headset

Yeah sorry about going offtopic, my last post on this.

IvanK (and Feuerflake, who doesn't seem to read my posts ) I don't get any sound dropping as I use a soundblaster X-Fi

@Feuerflake: seems like you like to beef out your bass a lot uh? how many sounds are playing in your test? and no I didn't record it from my output.

@Roy:
Nope. Didn't answer to all your statements because it a) doesn't help Ojisan_Buba b) you never tested the difference (even if you say *now* you have an X-FI) c) you just said to use cracked files, which I don't have access to (and I don't want to, honestly)

Yes, I did (slightly) pump up the bass, not even activated my bass-boost, though. Maybe I should try that - my headset surely can provide some great sound

@Ojisan_Buba:
I have no experience with the USB-Version, but there have to be some options to access surround settings either in windows or from the driver-settings (guess there are any?)
Also be sure to have Sound Extensions enabled in IL2.
Another idea would be to check whether the windows-settings are correct. I don't know if it will automatically switch from stereo to 5.1. You can also try to run il2setup.exe and set the sounddevice to SoundBlaster Live! or EAX1. I'm sorry I cannot provide further information, as I have the Medusa with amplifier here and I change settings from inside the X-FI-drivers and THX control.

b) please READ again page 1.
c) Never said such a thing.

Well, we got the same sound-system, the same hardware, the same output, but you post a frequency-spectrum of a file reaching as low as 70Hz or so, and you assure all of us, that no IL2-sound reaches lower than that.

So you either chose a really non-representative sound-replay to support your point or you are correct and files in IL2 originally don't display these frequencies - but then you have to see the files themselves, I guess?

Please quote me where I said that no sound reaches frequencies any lower than 70hz. Also please provide that graph you are mentioning.

My point with the graph is really simple (it turns out, you can't read those either):

Is there sound at that frequency band? (0 to 50hz) yep.
Is it dampened? yep.
Is it noticeable if you cut such a small frequency band? No, not really.
Does it make such a dramatic difference to have it? Nope.

Would you mind moving this discussion to private messages? (or start a new thread if you feel better) Just so we can stop bugging in this thread.

Honestly, I already ended the discussion, but feel free to send me a PM anyway.

With the USB Medusa headset I have already given you your only option to adjust these in my earlier post.

Either access the sound set up in game GUI or In the IL2 folder see the set up icon and the sound tab.
You will have to try different settings that suit your needs.


Have fun
