My friend had AR40's with the Mixamp Pro that he used on his Xbox One X via Optical, he sold that to go to PC gaming and the £1200 Intel/GTX PC did not come with a 'dedicated' sound card!
- he got a Soundblaster Z (SBZ) but couldn't get it working even following a video on youtube for the exact model + MixAMp Pro on PC.
He ended up selling the AR40+MixAmpPro and yesterday he had issues just getting the normal Sennheiser headset (no mic) to work, turned out he had it in the wrong port, thing is the SBZ is 8 years old and he is now convinced he wants a newer AE7 with a Mixamp.
- he is a technophobe with no to little tech experience and im having to pass messages...so can be difficult, time-consuming and frustrating, also because as we cant play Fortnite and chat - I use Xbox & steel series 9x all Bluetooth (which his PC supports) but he wants to be wired DIRECTLY into the sound card because he believes it will give him the best sound quality and less chance of interference or sudden battery power loss (and have to rush and plugin)
Can anyone on here advise?
He currently has the SBZ and just normal headset no mic- but is going to sell the SBZ to get the AE7 - but even then he needs to know how to set it up to work, it would be the same i would imagine.
I am new to gaming and also new to soundcards themselves as I've never needed to install one, know how to and can...but when it comes to gaming and in particular headset setups, to go with this AE-7 for someone on the other end of a messenger is difficult and time-consuming.
I've posted on 4 forums now and all give the same video off youtube...how to setup AR40s with MixAmp Pro on Youtube - now he no longer has them. only the SBZ...so now he is at square one!
He wants advice on the best combo and HOW to use it and or set it up ..in particular, CHAT MIXER so how loud CHAT is over GAME audio, my headset, for example, has it built-in as a slider on one side and OVERALL VOLUME on the other... something like that wired into this AE-7 would be perfect. otherwise he gunna have to go into windows/soundcards settings mid-game and adjust the slider or volume of MIC etc...
Any and all help is much appreciated and we thank you in advance.
Cheers
