EVGA Nu Audio Pro 7.1 Sound Card

If it’s been very quiet here at MTBS, we have a great excuse. We’ve been working on a special series of Neil’s Messy Basement episodes all about finding, enhancing, and enabling ways to make our entertainment experiences more immersive and enjoyable. One way is through product reviews like today’s review and user guide for the EVGA Nu Audio Pro 7.1 sound card, and others are through discoveries and hacks that make it possible for us to do more with what we have.

It’s going to be lots of fun!

New Sound Blaster X-Fi at CES 2018

Last week, we ran a special episode of Neil’s Messy Basement to reveal a discovery on how to connect Sound Blaster sound cards to digitally connected devices like HDMI 5.1 surround sound systems, Bluetooth headphones, and virtual reality headsets likes PC-based Oculus Rifts and HTC Vives.

Two MAJOR updates.  First, MTBS has been working with Alexandr Irza, author of Volume2, to enhance his software so the experience for VR gamers is even more seamless.  COMPLETE SUCCESS – he did amazing with this!  Second, the full guide has been made available in text form with easy to follow directions.

We really think this is going to be a strong enabler for superior immersive experiences for traditional and VR gamers alike.  Enjoy!

THIS took much longer than it should have.  It’s hard to believe that Meant to be Seen has been around for thirteen (13) years!  13 sounded like a good age to give this place a much needed facelift.  Heck, more than a facelift, a gosh darned overhaul with the best plastic surgeons that money can buy!  Ah…dare to dream.

MTBS’ charm has always been to look like a 90’s website (no, we didn’t do that on purpose), so it’s time to bring it up a decade…maybe two – we’ll see. Read More
