Before we go on i have to write down a few specs for my PC to make things easier

OS : Windows VISTA SP2 (32BIT)
PC : Dell Inspiron 545
(Original soundcard on motherboard from Dell no "aftermarket" sound card installed)

Hey guys just bought this headset for 2 days....so far everything is fine only problem i still having is the headset wont VIBRATES when ea beat of the BASS which it suppose to do so , at first i had the jacks installed / plug in wrongly

I had GREEN to ORANGE / ORANGE to GREEN u get my point , at that time the BASS sounded very strong ! It also vibrates ! But then i felt the sound weird , i did a sound test thing on the Windows , my CENTER didn't have sound also my LEFT and RIGHT have totally mix up !

So i take a closer look and swap the ORANGE and GREEN which , now ORANGE jack is in ORANGE HOLE and the GREEN is in GREEN , did soundtest , ok its fine , all the sound is on the correct positions , it also have a SUB side in the test , it too had sound but rather weak " thumb "

But after fixing that the vibration for the bass is gone ! :eek:

Also it has a desktop controller thing , all the control for FRONT , REAR , CENTER works fine , only the SUB even i move up and down it has no response i mean it makes no difference , maybe just slightly tiny bit im not sure but i dont feel there is difference

What is wrong ? ? Is it because my soundcard sucks ? ? Or is my headset already broken :eek: :cry:
 
Hey guys i think i knew whats the problem , but i wasn't sure , i heard a guy said that his too didnt vibrate due to the suck soundcard he had which is like mine , a built in , Realtek i think

Anyways he said he tried plugging in to his friend's Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium (1 expensive soundcard i might add) , he said the bass is amazing and his headset actually vibrates finally

I was wonder is it true , i feel that it might possible , i would like to confirm. But i aint going for something that expensive i feeling just get the Creative SB Audigy Value should be sufficient what u guys think ? ?
