Basic shooting game, but still so powerful! Use the mouse to take aim and shoot at the little beasties before they get to you. Use Space to reload....

The 16 bit/ 44.1 kHz tests gave positive results, though not the same level of quality. This is because when the Audigy 2 resamples all the 44.1 kHz flow rates in 48 kHz, corresponding to the DSP's internal frequency, rates above 48 kHz do not get resampled. So here we have a paradox: the Audigy 2 produces near-perfect sound in 24 bit/ 96 kHz playback (i.e. DVD Audio), but is not as good in 16 bit/ 44.1 kHz playback (such as CD Audio).
| Results Right Mark Audio Analyser | ||
|---|---|---|
| Frequency response (from 40 Hz to 15 kHz), dB: | +0.05, -0.17 | Very good |
| Noise level, dB (A): | -92.5 | Very good |
| Dynamic range, dB (A): | 87.3 | Good |
| THD, %: | 0.0018 | Excellent |
| IMD, %: | 1.393 | Poor |
| Stereo crosstalk, dB: | -85.1 | Excellent |
You can see the test results are generally positive, except for the intermodulation one. This is evidently due to resampling in 48 kHz.
