Razer Surround Software will Turns Your Stereo Headset into a 7.1 Home Theater Virtually.
I have a normal gaming PC & Laptop, but I could not able to afford have a decent 5.1 or 7.1 surround-sound
system. I’m not talking only about the price, but also the availability
of required sound system in the local market.
Few
days back I could finally caved and started using headphones that
emulate a virtual 7.1 speaker system, because most contemporary games
are built to take advantage of surround sound if you’re limiting
yourself to using stereo cans, you’re missing out. But,
if you aren’t willing to afford hundreds of dollars or rupees for a
surround sound system, Razer’s new Surround software might be just for
what you need. Razer Surround emulates a virtual 7.1 surround-sound
setup in any pair of stereo headphones, and it is absolutely free to use
as of now.

Razer
Surround works through Razer’s Synapse 2.0 utility, so you need to
register for a Razer account and download the requisite software before
getting started from the Razer Official Website. When you finish
installing Razer Surround on your PC, the software creates a virtual
sound card (called the Razer Surround Audio Controller) that accepts
surround-sound data from whatever is running on your PC like Games,
Movies, or even Music. and emulates it virtually your of stereo headphones.
Installation Process:

| You can adjust various sound options in this 'Audio' Section. |
Log
in to Synapse, and ‘Razer Surround’ should appear on the list of Razer
peripherals attached to your PC. Click that entry, and you’ll run
through a simple calibration process that lets you tailor the
positioning of the emulated surround sound to your preferences. The
calibration process itself is a little confusing: You have to look at a
diagram of where a given sound effect is meant to emanate from, and then
close your eyes and adjust the effect’s positioning with your mouse
wheel until it sounds like it’s coming from the correct spot.
Calibrate
the 7 quadrants of this virtual 7.1 surround-sound arrangement by
Looking at where the audio is supposed to be originating, and then
adjust the settings until the sound seems to come exactly from that
location. After completing the calibration process, you can run few
demos to verify that you’re now simulating decent surround sound in your
two-bit stereo headset.
Razer
Surround seems most noticeable when you simply listen to music on the
desktop. After calibrating the software, you can adjust a virtual
equalizer via Razer Synapse and tinker with audio options such as
virtual bass boosting and stereo enhancement. While writing this story, I
put Surround through its paces with a Spotify playlist but, pretty much
everything sounded better when I took the time to flip between
Surround’s EQ presets.
In
my tests Razer Surround works very well and flawlessly with a pair of
Sony MDR-ZX100A stereo headphones, I have experienced a vast difference
in Surround-sound while I Played NFS Hot Pursuit, NFS MW 2012 Games,
James Bond- Golden Eye & Wall E Movies and Some Rock Album songs. Razer's
Virtual surround-sound in games & movies is all well and good, but
mostly the bass boost is my favorite feature of this Razer's new audio
software.
Razer Surround is free to use as of now. Razer is making the software available for download at no charge through the end of this year, though the company encourages users who like the software to donate money to the Child’s Play charity. Next year (starting on January 1, 2014), new users must pay $20 to sign up for Razer Surround. So if you have been a stereo music lover, grab it now to get the best surround sound experience virtually.

Top 7 ways to avoid Cyber Attacks
Top 7 ways to avoid Cyber Attacks
Viruses and identity theft are not new issues, but recently,individuals
and companies are at a much greater risk as a result of the
unanticipated increase in internet and technology use.
Follow
these tips to protect yourself from such an attack so that you won’t be
the next victim.Anyone who uses the internet needs to be aware of basic
computer security:
- Don't click the link If you don't know who sent the email, or if it's not a trusted website, then don't click the link.Beware: there is always an increase in email phishing scams around Christmas, whereby scammers have a fake retail store website and capture your credit card details when you buy online.
- Install Antivirus software Always have up-to-date antivirus protection and get regular updates, Don't press 'do it later' and update six weeks later.
- Use strong passwords, most of the population is still using '1234567' or their first name and last name, The problem is that there are about 20 different things that require passwords.Also reset all your online passwords.* Never click 'remember my password'.* Use capitals, lower case, numbers and symbols in passwords. Don't use words in the dictionary.* Change passwords regularly.* Password software is good at generating strong passwords but the human brain is the best tool of all.
- Keep software up to date, this will ensure your software has the latest security upgrades.Attackers are always thinking up new ways to penetrate security. Don't ignore update notifications.
- Reconfigure wireless routers, buy a router with secure wirelessencryption, otherwise your information is unprotected and can be stolen: for example, when banking or shopping online.When you get a new modem from a network provider, it may not be secured to encrypt traffic. People should go to the administration panel and configure their wireless network to WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 encryption.Reconfiguring routers is easy and something people don't do properly.Change the name of the router to something obscure, otherwise it gives attackers information on how best to attack that router.Also, change the default login to a unique password.
- Encrypt email:Learn to use email encryption for sensitive documents. Don't send emails such as a child's health resume using Gmail or Hotmail. "There was [the recent case] where a Gmail employee started going through people's email accounts."
- Use a secure web browser Firefox or Opera are secure web browsers.Eliminating internet and computer use from your life is impossible,so be sure to practice safe computing habits to protect yourself from cyber attacks.
