If anyone here has shipped a computer before, how have you packaged them? Particularly ones with large graphics cards, CPU heat sinks, or mechanical hard drives. I don't imagine it'd take much during shipping to damage a heavy/delicate part, are there any preventative measures to take while shipping a computer(other than foam around the case)? Thanks for your feedback! I wasn't quite sure where to put this post, so hopefully general is the right place :s

Yeah, I used the headphone slot. I can still use the microphone in the breakout box, or use another microphone through it, so the only thing I'm missing is the volume control, which is no big deal :D

I tried changing sample rate, using different equalizers and generally messing with the headphone settings, but the problem persisted. However, using the front speaker out does solve the problem, albeit prevents me from being able to use the breakout box. Thanks! ...I suppose I should've tried that first :|

Hi, I recently purchased a Xonar Phoebus as a replacement for my onboard audio. However, I've been having severe audio problems. The sound card seems to be playing in monaural, E.G. if I test my headphones through the Windows 7 audio control panel, "left channel" and "right channel" are played through both the left and right drivers simultaneously. In addition, it seems like any sounds below a certain frequency aren't played at all; music has no bass whatsoever, some voices are completely cut off, and audio in general sounds distorted. I've tried using different PCIe slots, disabling onboard audio, different PCIe power connectors, both the latest stable and beta drivers, 2 different pairs of headphones, and with and without the Asus RoG external headphone+microphone box. Nothing I can think of seems to fix the audio problems. Is there something I'm missing, or is it just a defective card? Thanks in advance for your help. I'm running Windows 7 professional 64-bit, and my motherboard is the Asus Z77 Maximus V Formula. Hopefully that's all the relevant information. By the way, this is my first post on any forum, so sorry if I've unknowingly broken any rules :P
