Tactic3D Sigma for PS3

Hi there,
I am looking to purchase the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Sigma headset for use on my PS3. I understand that out of the box, it is not configured to work on the PS3 but I was researching and I remember reading somewhere I can use it with the use of some type of adapter. Unfortunately, I cannot find that website again and so, I am writing to ask which adapter I need to have the headset function on my PS3.
Also, will this adapter give me full functionality (Surround sound, in-game sound as well as the microphone working (for in particular, Call of Duty)).
Thanks

  • Tactic3D Sigma + X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty ?

    Hello friends,
    I have a PCI-E X-Fi Titanium Fatalty sound card and I'm thinking in get a good headphone to play during midnight.
    I know Titanium features in Game Mode the CMSS-3D effect which offer a great improvment in games with any kind of headphone.
    On the other hand, Tactic3D Sigma offers THX TruStudio Pro Surround, that also delivers a 3D simulation effect in games.
    so...
    Is it worth buying Sigma if I can get a 3D effect with my soundcard? Sigma still good using jack output?
    THX TruStudio Pro Surround >>> CMSS-3D ?
    Thanks.

    The following is the responses I have received from Creative customer support regarding the THX controller software NOT working (the controller software just hangs) with my X-fi Platinum. I am very confused by the contradicting responses help please!
    Detailed Problem Description:
    Ok I have installed the Alpha/Sigma software and the cotrol panel just hangs when it opens. I uninstalled, reinstalled in safe mode, restarted, ran update with the same results . . . WTF these are sold as high-eng! I have been in tech support, I am a Intel Product Dealer, and a MS System builder for years. Windows 7 prem 64, Creative SB X-FI Titanium . . . seems like the head set should work with this. Please help...
    Thank you for contacting Creative Technical Support.
    Are you connecting the headset thru the 3.5mm plug or USB connection?
    If using the USB headset connection, please note that you won't be able to use it with the X-fi Titanium soundcard.
    Please follow the steps carefully below when installing Sound Blaster Tactic3D Sigma in your Windows 7 computer.

    Thank you for answering,
    I can use the mini jacks but not the features I bought the headset for? The mini jack functioning of this headset seem no better than any $25 headset . . . and I have spent years plugged in in recording studios.
    So the features of this headset are not available if I am using your High-end soundcard?!?!?!?!? How is this possible?!?!?!? And why does the box not say this?? Now that I have spent hundreds of dollars on your soundcard and nearly another $00 on your headphones I am just out of luck!!!??
    I think this needs a website of its own. What am I to do with this useless waste of money at this point?
    So, please, tell me what I am to do?
    And please send me contact information for the marketing product leads for both of these products!
    Awaiting a reasonable answer,
    Thank you for writing to Creative Technical Support.
    Please note that when in USB connection, USB devices such as your SB Tactic3D Sigma Headset will create its own USB Audio Device and it will bypass the onboard sound card and the X-fi Titanium card.
    Make sure that the headset is properly detected in Device Manager and selected as the default playback and recording device.
    When using the mini-jack, please ensure that the X-fi Titanium card is selected as the default playback and recording device.

  • Microphone not working on Tactic3D Sigma

    Hi guys, I have a weird problem here with a new Sound Blaster Tactic3D Sigma.
    I've installed the newest drivers, restarted system and microphone doesn't record any sound.
    I have tried to update firmware with the latest beta firmware and plugged in all available USB ports, but still haven't success.
    Doesn't seems to be a problem with the mic itself, but some kind of problem with the headset in or a driver issue, because when I put the mic directly into P2 in it records sound normally.
    I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    AVL,
    You might want to write to our Customer Support for assistance but note that you may still need to contact the seller if it's a hardware failure.

  • Best 32" lcd for ps3 and tv

    Hi all
    I have been searching forever for the best 32" lcd to be used for ps3 and hdtv. I also will be using the blue-ray player alot. I was very disappointed in the 32" sony Braviakdl32l5000 i looked at today .  Any help would be so appreciated!!!
    Thanks

    What didn't you like about it? There is a 1080p model with 120hz if you want to take a look at it. At that size, there's not much in the way of image quality but the one you looked at is ideal simply because it doesn't have 120hz processing which screws with your gaming image and introduces lag.

  • Using iMac 21.5" 2009 model as a monitor for PS3

    Hello Apple people,
    I have a new iMac 21.5" released Oct 2009.
    The thing is, I want to use the iMac as a monitor for my PS3 (while the wife uses the HD TV).
    I know there are devices for the 27" iMac, but does anyone know of any devices/software that would allow me to do this?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kieran

    Fortuny answered your question. No, there is no such device for the 21.5" iMacs. They do not have any sort of video in-port.
    The only method for getting video into most Macs is with some sort of FireWire or USB device. I have not heard of such a device for using a Mac's display with 3rd party video devices such a SPS3, Xbox, etc.

  • Using Satellite LP500-14L as a display for PS3

    Hello, dear administration and all users ; )
    I am really glad to join this forum and hoping to get some helpful experience with it : )
    So.. the question is in subject.. I am just curious about it .. With eyes of average user it seems to be possible, PS3 and almost all modern laptops both
    have HDMI output , to plug in PS3 to ordinary LCD is possible.. why shouldn't be same with Laptop one?
    I red some post in different forums.. and unfortunately it does not seems to be as simple as looks like.
    Some people are saying:
    1 ) You can't do it because laptop HDMI does not support input of video
    2 ) Some says, you can but only with TV tuner and only with usual connection with 2 wires, like DVD players, oldest consoles are connected
    Both variants are unhappy : )) , even second one because probably quality of picture going to be bad and not enjoyable as when connection PS3 via HDMI.
    Maybe some one can give a list what laptops are supporting VIDEO input for all the people to know it . Mine is SATELLITE P500-14L, it has 18 inch display and i think it would be nice to turn it on as a PS3 sometimes : ))

    >1 ) You can't do it because laptop HDMI does not support input of video
    Right the notebook cannot receive video signals from PS3 and this is the reason why you cannot connect the PS3 to the notebook and use the internal display.
    I remember that early Toshiba Qosmio G20 supported a video in port (but not HDMI)
    Using this port you could connect an xbox and could use the internal screen.

  • Logged in thru facebook now cant set username and password for PS3

    I signed up a year ago. Logged in thru facebook. Now i see a spotify app has been added to my PS3... Im trying to login but its asking for a username / password. I got to my account and am given a # of 126681961 as my user name and i attempt to activate a password, it says an email has been sent to the hotmail account associated with my facebook account but I have not recieved any email and have attempted mulitple times. How do I set my username and Password without all the frustration or by changing my FB info??? thank you

    I'm not sure about the status of that bug in 2.2.5, but it has been
    resolved in our internal 2.3 builds.
    I think that you can work around this problem by enumerating your
    persistent types in system.prefs instead of in the data store. See our
    documentation for more information on how to do this.
    Basically, if I recall correctly, the problem is when retrieving the
    list, but not when connecting to the data store for other purposes.

    Is this bug(#76) fixed for 2.2.5? And how can we work around it?--

  • Nat Type question for PS3 (wrt610N)

    I have the wrt610N on cable internet and am playing Modern Warefare 2 on the PS3. Since day 1 I have had a Type 2 Nat type according to the PS3's internet connection test.  Modern Warfare 2 has a Nat Type indicator on the lobby screen and mine has always said Moderate. 
    Well, after a little research, I forwarded my ports and presto, it said my NAt type was open. Yesterday I accidently unplugged the router and now my lobby screen is saying moderate again.  My ports are still forwarded, so I have no idea what is going on.  Any ideas? 
    Someone suggested that I can just go in the router and set it to open, but this does not sound right.  Also, I was reading some posts on here and noticed people mentioning something about home network defender in the management tab.  I have no such option.  Anyone know why?   
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...Click on "Administration" tab and disable the option UPnP and click Save Settings...Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
    Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
    1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 80 and End box type in 80, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    2) On the second line in Application box type in DEF, in the start box type in 443 and End box type in 443, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...
    3) On the third line in Application box type in GHI, in the start box type in 5223 and End box type in 5223, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box...

    7) Now assign the given ip address on your PlayStation ip address :- 192.168.1.20, subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0, default gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    8) Also assign the dns addresses on the PlayStation Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
    9) Turn off your modem, router, and PlayStation...Wait for a minute...
    10) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the PlayStation and test it...
    ** Also reduce the MTU and disable the UPnP on the PS3.

  • How to set NAT Type in Airport Express for PS3

    I just replaced my existing WiFi router with a Airport Express, using the same log in information, and all other devices includin iPhone and laptop can get on line w/o problem, but my PS3 can not seems to log in for on-line game, and when I check the internet connection settings, it show NAT type failed due to timeout error. I have read some articles about the need to change NAT Type from 3 to 2 or something like that, how can not find in Airport Utilities on how to open up NAT to change its type? anyone can help? Appreciate.

    Unfortunately there are no specific NAT settings on the AirPort routers to change the NAT type. On the AirPorts you either have NAT enabled or disabled. Other options would be to use either a DMZ or open specific ports on the AirPort's NAT firewall to allow your PS3 to gain full access to  PS3's on-line gaming service.

  • What adobe flash player to use for ps3

    ps3 has adobe flash player but it says i have to reset when i do it don't work . what to do.

    It has not helped at all. 
    And I tried that before whenever I had to revert to the FP 10.3 version 6 months ago for just Hulu and netflix.  It didn't help much there either way. 
    And before the problem cropped up originally everything was fine. 
    Although, then, I had removed Google Earth and Google Chrome  because they seemed to influence the viewing a bit. 
    I have now readded Google Chrome as a secondary browser but it hasn't changed anything as far as the videos go.
    I have now also upgraded to the latest Flash Player but I still have the same problems.
    I can only view the Comcast movies and series in  the lowest resolution and speeds and only can use the Normal screen at that, not the Full screen mode.  And Comcast requires at least FP 11.1 to be used.
    The movies are jerky, sometimes completely freezing up and the audio and video are almost always out of sync (again).
    Short of replacing the graphics card, no one has come up with an answer. 
    I am sure a lot of people have older graphics cards in their system and have no problems with their video.
    But I'm sure that I am not the only one that has this problem either.
