Comment on TurtleBeach EarForce PX21 Review by kk

I recent got the DPX21 (PX21 with the DSS) and also find the annoying hiss/noise…. after extensively researching on the internet and testing, I can confirm the source of hissing is from the PC USB port. I “fixed” the problem by plugging the USB into a AC-USB power (my iphone plug) and the hiss is gone… yes I lost voicechat but it sound so much more powerful and clean!! will only plug into PC USB when I’m in online games where I would anywhere not notice the hiss….

Yeah, who needs that damn fps action. Gets so dull with its constant grind! Shoot! Run! Collect! Shoot! Skill! So old. This is 2011, all games need leveling.

I just bought these headphones and I have to admit that the noise floor is just too high. The black box yes is an amplifier, and is USB powered. Lowering the volume of the headphone and increasing that of the PC (or any source you use) has no effect for me. If I cannot get a refund for it, I will cut the cable and connect it directly to my PC, as well as the microphone.

I just purchased the PX21 headphones from JB-HIFI in Brisbane and Unpacked them, plugged them in and there is no sound coming from the right ear piece. I have plugged them into my computer also and the same thing. Will be taking back tomorrow and either getting replacement or a different type if i can.

What is the difference in openroot to networkroot device? And what advantage is there in functionality or longevity in product/device common usefulness?

He should know that we wanted an open gaming community based on open license. Not just a famous game that runs on our beloved open licensed operating system

Comment on NHL GameCenter Live on PS3: featureful but buggy by Old Man Feld

I haven’t had time to post an update, but my findings have been rather interesting. The experience has improved 200% for me after I replaced my firewall at home with a device running OpenBSD and pf as the firewall. This gave me the ability to do true ack prioritization which is not possible on Linux (iptables can’t match empty ACKs). With these rules in place the stream is much more stable. I have a feeling that doing this (plus scrubbing and MSS clamping to prevent fragments) lowered the latency and improved general connection reliability just enough that things don’t get out of sync. I’ve also noticed a much better experience with other internet services (heavy imap, web browsing, etc).

It’s a shame that the streams are over TCP, but if you have this as an option it will definitely help. I wanted an OpenBSD box as my firewall for years but didn’t want to pay for the electricity on a full size PC doing my firewalling. I plopped down the cash for an Alix board recently (256MB ram, 600mhz AMD Geode) and I am very satisfied.

There are still occasional dropouts but the stream recovers more quickly and there is less of the blurring/stuttering. It’s almost made that problem nonexistent, and I can’t remember the last time it forced my stream to jump back in time.

I’ll post more thorough results as soon as I watch more hockey and confirm these findings.

I went from stoked to sad. I am planning on getting GameCenter Live next season along with a HDTV and PS3 and was hoping to go down this same road. I too am a sysadmin so thank you for sharing. I suppose I will have to stick with the original plan on HDMI out of my PC to the TV.
