#152558 Audio Settings - Please Help

Posted by 9646gt on 27 December 2012 - 10:36 AM in Wii U Hardware

Arc is spotty at best on my onkyo receiver. The only way I could get a dependable surround experience was to run the console HDMI right to the receiver


#149888 USB voice chat? Game pad Jack size?

Posted by 9646gt on 20 December 2012 - 02:08 AM in Wii U Hardware

Like I responded to you in one of the other threads I don't think that's going to work.


According to Dolby's website since the turtle beach DSS supports pro logic llx and Dolby headphone if toy Holm the box up to the game pad and plug the head phones into that box it will use r the DSP to convert it to simulated 5.1 and pass it off to the Dolby headphone DSP which will play the simulated surround to the headphones.it may not be the best but its hard to say that it won't work when that is exactly what the technology is designed to do.

However I think you ate correct as far as the microphone goes. I don't think there will be any way to use a mic with a dedicated cable since pluging in the headset would seem to disable audio going to the TV. unless Nintendo actually adds USB microphone support.


#149529 USB voice chat? Game pad Jack size?

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 03:46 AM in Wii U Hardware

Your setup sends a little complicated lol. There should be no need to send audio to the tv since you can use the jack for headphones on the rreceive. I. You run audio from tv to headset the tv will not create virtual surround sound effects like the receiver can if setup properly.I know that the audio if hooked up the way I plan will automatically come from the headset like I plan. And I can get an adapter to plug the mic cable of e headset into the game pad. But the main thing is, I'd you have anything plugged into the Mic port on the game pad can you still get audio over the hdmi from yhe receiver or does all audio automatically get directed to the gamepad headphone plug with no option to change it?


#149504 USB voice chat? Game pad Jack size?

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 12:43 AM in Wii U Hardware

Does wii u support USB voice chat from something like a turtle beach headset? What size is the head phone Jack on the GamePad? I'm asking because my turtle beach has USB for the mic or it had a jack that fits the Xbox 360 controller which I think is smaller than the wii u game pad which is what 3.5mm?

Also if I have the mic from my headset plugged into the game pad with an adapter will the wii u stop playing audio over hdmi? I basically want to plug in the dedicated mic from my surround sound into the wii u and be able to get the game audio from my receiver the headset is plugged into. Just like it works with my 360


#149247 Anyone else wii u downloading slow

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 09:36 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yeah I haven't got to open my Wii U yet, but I was planning to use a LAN adapter to bypass all that wireless lag. But then I found on neogaf that the lan adapter is even SLOWER than the wireless in speed tests! But it IS worth noting that doing a speed test on a WIFI connected laptop vs WIFI connected Wii U showed the Wii U wireless adapter is also much slower than a PC or Mac connected to wireless. So I honestly think alot of this is that the network interfaces on the console are just kind of slow.


#149532 Headsets/Gaming Headsets for the Nintendo Wii U.

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 04:04 AM in Wii U Hardware

There are a couple of good threads going on this. The only way to get surround is with simulated surround created by a receiver like a home theatre. This is mainly because the wii u only sports uncompressed audio and does not support and Dolby prologic or anything like that. So the receiver had to take the audio from the Wii u and then make its own simulated sound such as neo 6 and send that to the headphones.

#149573 Headsets/Gaming Headsets for the Nintendo Wii U.

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 09:26 AM in Wii U Hardware

Hello 9646gt,

Ahhh I see. Sometimes it takes that alternate explanation to finally get it haha. Thank you for your multiple explanations and patience! :)

So it seems like no matter what, I will need to purchase a receiver. Just which receiver is the question.

Take care! :)

Sincerely, NintendoFan


You are more than welcome! I am so OCD it isn't even funny lol. I would look at the Onkyo ht-s3500 receiver. I just bought it tax free and with free shipping on amazon. I got it for $249 shipped and it sounds amazing. It's actually a pretty advanced receiver so it was tricky to set up to my OCD liking lol. But 249 for a receiver and all speakers is not bad. Yeah the sub woofer is passive but it will be fine for the new few years for me. It also has 4 hdmi inputs and supports the wii perfectly! It is only like 660 watts and sounds night and day better than my sony 1000w it replaced :)

I wonder if my Turtle Beach X12's would work?

They will work but only in stereo if plugged in the wii u gamepad. To get surround sound simulation from them you would need to plug them into a receiver that will convert to Dolby Pro logic or similar. Turtle beach sells a box that I am pretty sure will turn the stereo into Dolby Pro Logic II as that is what mine came with.

http://www.turtlebeach.com/product-detail/dolby-processor-accessories/ear-force-dss2/33 You SHOULD be able to plug this into the gamepad and get dolby surround headphone processing for pretty damn good simulated surround with any turtle beach headphones :)


#149920 special startup on warawara plaz

Lol reminds me of booting up gran turismo 5 on Christmas day for the first time.was playing Christmas music haha


#149167 Two players - New Super Mario Bros. U (help)

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 05:03 AM in Wii U Games and Software

You can only use the GamePad to control a character in single player mode. When you try to use the GamePad in multiplayer, it automatically goes to boost mode.


Finally plain English lol thank you. Good thing I have two wii remotes!


#148838 Two players - New Super Mario Bros. U (help)

Posted by 9646gt on 17 December 2012 - 06:59 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Sadly no. Multiolayer can only be done with every player using wiimotes

Sorry but that statement is confusing. Do you mean if you start the game with ONLY two wii remotes that both players can s be on screen at once? I how does one do this


#152583 Super Mario Sunshine 2-Wii U

Posted by 9646gt on 27 December 2012 - 11:41 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Please no more sunshine Lol. I was not a fan. Would much rather see something like Mario 3d land with stereoscopic 3dtv support or a new Mario 64 or galaxy style game!


#152560 Console gaming on a HD tv

Posted by 9646gt on 27 December 2012 - 10:41 AM in General Gaming

Moral of the story is yes buy and HDTV but spend a little more money on a quality one. Samsung currently makes some of the nicest sets. After tweaking settings to my liking my Samsung 46 inch 3d LCD is going on 3 years old and still books stunning in 1080p :)


#152988 I enjoy the games of the Wii U the most out of all 3 consoles

Posted by 9646gt on 28 December 2012 - 08:20 AM in Wii U Game Reviews

Great post. But its funny you like 360 better when you mainly listed exclusives under the ps3 category:) no offense or anything I just noticed most people for some reason prefer 360 over ps3 even tho it has very few exclusives. But I will say the 360 has great online and even tho the interface is confusing its much nicer than the ps3 interface.

But yeah the Wii u is the first time in a long time I have actually found my self playing it for hours losing track of time. Even if I stop playing a game I usually get lost in mii verse for a hour and then get lost in tvii lol


#149530 Idea: Premium Controllers. Please like, vote, and contribute!

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 03:48 AM in Wii U Hardware

I just wish Nintendo would have or a Mic port and analog triggers on the pro controller to begin with. Analog triggers should be a industry standard to be expected by now I think


#146514 Great budget surround setup I found for us optical guys :)

Posted by 9646gt on 10 December 2012 - 11:26 PM in Wii U Hardware

It needs to have hdmi input and also support lpcm surround sound. I pretty much any re end system with multiple hdmi inputs will provide what you need. I highly suggest going with the one I have linked to. I spent most the day researching and it is the best bang for the buck I could find myself at 249 shipped. I found multiple different systems but almost anything cheaper does not have hdmi inputs.


#146918 Great budget surround setup I found for us optical guys :)

Posted by 9646gt on 12 December 2012 - 03:58 AM in Wii U Hardware

Glad to hear you guys approve :)


#146251 Great budget surround setup I found for us optical guys :)

Posted by 9646gt on 10 December 2012 - 08:53 AM in Wii U Hardware

Yeah we are all mad because there is no optical out for our old 5.1 surround systems. BUT I have ordered this and I think it's a great deal for any of you with a little extra money to spend to get a system with 4 HDMI inputs and be able to keep enjoying surround sound :) http://www.amazon.co...ils_o00_s00_i00 I was going to just buy a new receiver but almost every single one was the wrong ohm rating to work with my speakers and my subwoofer is passive so no upgrading :(


#146289 Great budget surround setup I found for us optical guys :)

Posted by 9646gt on 10 December 2012 - 10:45 AM in Wii U Hardware

Glad to hear your results Boo :) Can;t wait till it gets here. It will be all set up waiting on the Wii u that the wife refuses to give me till Christmas lol. This is one 28 year old who will be doing some serious Wii u gaming in his Super Mario World PJs! Sadly I have to go to a Christmas dinner that day so I will let it update then haha.


#146268 Great budget surround setup I found for us optical guys :)

Posted by 9646gt on 10 December 2012 - 10:07 AM in Wii U Hardware

Pretty solid reviews all around. Your always going to have people with D.O.A units and negative comments due to just be human in nature. Thanks for the link OP.


^^^ This :) I always go off the overall review and have always had good luck doing so. My current system had some negative reviews but I knew with it being a Sony they would stand behind it and it has worked flawlessly for over 5 years :) My Dad also has an Onkyo system and has bene using it for about 12 years lol. Zero issues with it. The overall review is good and the freeshipping and tax free means it was 249 out the door :) The sub isn't as powerful as my current one but I am sure it will do lol.

I'm glad I live in the US. Way to appeal to core gamers Nintendo! They should just move the headquarters :) I guess they expect people to get up in the middle of the night to download anything huh.They should at least add a feature that will run the download at the set time frame.


#149166 Nintendo should release wii u enhanced wii games.

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 05:00 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm sure Nintendo won't be able to resist doing remakes. But honestly I would rather be playing fresh new games than a bunch of previous generation games.


#149249 Just tried Rayman Legends demo, so good!

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 09:37 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yep, but the 3ds release was not very good. It was on wii, 360, ps3, pc and 3ds that I'm aware off.


Was also on Vita :)


#149244 Nintendo should release wii u enhanced wii games.

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 09:32 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I guess I just don't understand the hole wanting remakes thing. I LOVED Mario 3 back when it came out. And still play it every once and a while. But would I choose a Mario 3 remake over a brand new 3d Mario adventure? No way! Ocarina on 3ds was good yes, but wouldn;t you rather have already had a NEW Zelda game on 3ds?


#152582 My thoughts on Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed

Posted by 9646gt on 27 December 2012 - 11:39 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Excellent game for sure! The difficulty is a little higher than Mario kart but its a ton more fair than the rubber banding level in Mario kart!
