Both those settings are set up that way, no dice, still the same problem. I think I'm just gonna use this as an excuse to buy a new sound card. I've wanted to for a while and thanks to this problem the wife gave me the go ahead so even if I fix it I might just not tell her lol

Thank GOD someone said it. I'm waiting for this whole 4k craze to die. If you plan on getting like a 50 inch monitor, I get it, but truth be told most people can't see a huge difference in pixel density once you go past 1440p unless they jump to those larger monitors. If you're like me on a 32 inch monitor, 1440p is about as high as you really need to go. Seriously, google it. 4k is the monitor manufacturers looking for a new buzzword to sell you another upgrad now that HD TVs and Displays have saturated the market and their sales have slowed.
 
The human eye can't percieve a difference in pixel density at 4k resolutions on displays of a reasonable size. The huge performance hit is NOT worth it. There is one thing I'll say about 4k, if you're doing productivity work and desktop workspace is at a PREMIUM, 4k is amazing. Being able to fit the amount of data onscreen on a single panel that you would normally have to use a dual-monitor setup for is great. As for gaming, I honestly don't see the point yet. It's not worth the cost of entry at all. Like Zjurc said, it makes sense for movie production (where you're going to blow that image up huge on a movie theatre screen and don't want image quality loss with the scaling) or image editing. Everyone else is pretty much buying hype.
