I almost never make forum posts, but here I am confused out of my mind. So just earlier today I upgraded my GPU to a gtx 1080 ti from my 1050 ti. Upon stress tests and game tests the card seems to be performing as intended, however there is one problem I am having and it wasn't present when my old card was installed.
Whenever I listen to audio strictly through my headset (Astro A40) the audio is very distorted. It is audible to some degree but it is still very off, and many sounds are hazy and don't sound correct. However through my monitor speakers or my main speakers the audio seems just fine. I tested my audio on my Xbox using my headset to make sure it wasn't and issue with the headset itself and it worked just fine. Only when I use it through my PC does the audio become distorted. Also a little side note I also can not hear any audio from other people while in a discord call. Of course I have all my drivers up to date for my GPU and audio. Along with that my headset is set to default and set as my communication default for audio, so I have no idea what is happening currently or what could be the cause of this. I am strongly hoping it's some sort of faulty driver, but at this point i'm unsure as to what it could be. It's a shot in the dark, I know, because this is such an odd issue, but it's worth a shot to see if anyone has possible solutions because I can't seem to find any on other forums identical to this topic.
