The 10-band equaliser, virtual surround sound, concert hall, etc stuff will very probably just be software. You can't do this on dedicated hardware for that price. > i'm trying to figure out how much is supported by the "standard" > USB audio protocol that's referred to on the alsa h/w compatibility > matrix page: > http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ > the implication is that if a device is "standards compliant" > then it will "just work". and the turtle beach "audio advantage" > device is listed on that page, in white, which i _think_ means > it's supported correctly.

Things such as the effects or even the mic switch are not part of those standards AFAIK. Also I didn't see the USB logo anywhere on the pictures of the device, and this suggests it's not standards compliant. -- FA ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
