Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
Hello List: I'm embarking on buying a new computer (it's a Dell XPS 8700 with what is called a Wave Max sound card (it's integrated into the system) so my question is: does anyone know about this Wave Max card? Is it accessible? The new computer will have Windows 7; I checked on another list and am told that the card should be fine with several of the chat clients I visit! But I thought I would check here and see if any of you know about this particular sound card! Thanks in advance!

RE: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
I do. Lucky you. I want this PC. Hopefully I can get it at some point. Now, for your question. If Dell hasn't changed their ways, it's actually a realteck card that is part of the mother board as you said. The Wave Max Audio thing is just an audio inhansment thing. It's a software thing. As far as how accessible the card is, well if you use the sound thing in the control pannal you're fine. Now, since I don't have a new Dell PC with this stuff, I can tell you only from past experience with my old Enspireon. With that one there was Real Tech stuff a Real Tek control pannal for the card iso to speak. You can do all kinds of funny stuff in there, make it like you were in a public bathroom, make your voice do the chip munk thing, and or slow it down. This pannal wasn't accessible. I had to have dell deal with it. Man, luck you. The XPS-8700!

Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
If that is the same thing my XPS15Z I got on Ebay towards the beginning of the year came with, for whatever reason, when using Eloquence, Jaws sounds kind of harsh and distorted. It's not so bad on headphones, but I think a lot of that particular machine's gain is realized with the audio enhancement stuff they have on. I wish I could fix that because the Real speak is eroneously speaking high pitch letters for stuff that really is not capitalized. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
Not sure I know what you mean by the regular one! The thing that Brent said has me a little concerned; hopefully (if I don't change my mind and go ahead and buy this thing) Jaws will still sound like it should sound! Thanks for the feedback so far; have heard indications that there may be a problem with this card in regard to Total Recorder! Do any of you know anything about this? For if this sound card will not let me record internet streams, that would be a deal breaker!

Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
Maybe the one you are thinking of getting is different enough that the speakers won't make Eloquence sound bad. I haven't bought Eloquence for System Access to see if that comes out better, so this one could be a hard one to troubleshoot. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 6:36 PM Subject: Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?

RE: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
Oh JAWS should be fine alright. I don't see why it should mess with it. Let me know. See if you can turn the Wave Max stuff off please, see I use Bose Companion 5 Multimedia speakers and Bose suggests turning this kind of stuff or the Beats stuff HP has I would guess off.

Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
The enhancement is probably what makes it sound weird. The one thing I found is that turning that off does make you take a considerable volume hit, so they are doing something that makes it sound louder than it would otherwise. - Original Message - From: Hamit Campos hamitcam...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 10:11 PM Subject: RE: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?

Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
I did find something in the volume control, thought you just had to uncheck all the items in that list view like virtual surround, equal loudness, voice cancel, etc. There is one that says, turn off all audio enhancements, but it seems that they shape it around using the features because the volume does drop quite a bit. If one hooked up external speakers, you can just turn those up, so maybe not a big deal. - Original Message - From: Hamit Campos hamitcam...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 10:12 PM Subject: RE: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?

Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?
I know the option I found was in the properties when you hit speakers in the windows sound control panel. I didn't have to deal with the Dell software, but I suppose it's hard to tell if the Windows way does indeed turn off all the stuff they have. - Original Message - From: Hamit Campos hamitcam...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 10:22 PM Subject: RE: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card?

Not good. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Brent Harding Sent: Thursday, August 22, 2013 6:51 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Does Anyone Know About This Sound Card? If that is the same thing my XPS15Z I got on Ebay towards the beginning of the year came with, for whatever reason, when using Eloquence, Jaws sounds kind of harsh and distorted. It's not so bad on headphones, but I think a lot of that particular machine's gain is realized with the audio enhancement stuff they have on. I wish I could fix that because the Real speak is eroneously speaking high pitch letters for stuff that really is not capitalized. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: PC audio discussion list.

Hello List: I'm embarking on buying a new computer (it's a Dell XPS 8700 with what is called a Wave Max sound card (it's integrated into the system) so my question is: does anyone know about this Wave Max card? Is it accessible? The new computer will have Windows 7; I checked on another list and am told that the card should be fine with several of the chat clients I visit! But I thought I would check here and see if any of you know about this particular sound card! Thanks in advance!
