I have a Razer Siren Mini but recently installed a SoundBlaster soundcard (spare one that was floating around) into my pc because I purchased new speakers. I want to plug my microphone into the soundcard so that I can make use of the Sound Blaster Connect 2 voice morph (without having to get a separate application/soundboard) Obviously just getting a usb to jack convertor won't power my microphone, so is there an option to be able to connect and power the microphone while using the soundcard? I don't want to purchase a new microphone as this current one is fairly new. Just want to know what my options are and if using this microphone with the soundcard is possible.

im in need of finding a pcie sound card that will use my subwoofer with allllllllll content and has an EQ reason because the realtek alc4080 does not have an EQ well it does but u lose it the moment u switch it over to 5.1 to get the subwoofer channel to work and has a 0.8 second delay because its a POS usb IC.. i have a asus xonar SE but that willllll not play stereo content through the sub which makes me MAD the xonar dg did why the hell cant the SE or does anyone know how to either force the xonar SE to use the sub with stereo content or forcably get this stupid USB IC gigabyte stuck to the z590 qorus ultra to have an EQ in surround mode though i prefer a sound card ps the xonar SE is not support by the UNi xonar third party driver -
Do you need to buy a sound card, or is it integrated into the motherboard. -

Hey there, im having this issue for a while and now I finally wanna fix it. My Situation: Whenever I start screen sharing in Discord or MS Teams, my audio loses it completely. In Teams I NEED to have Teams as "active window" or I won't hear anything and in Discord it is as soon as I wanna start sharing the screen or rather the previews. I looked at the task manager and saw the power usage jumps up for teams/discord, which I assume is normal in both cases. Funnily enough I don't have this issue when I play demanding games or VR. ONLY when sharing my screen. When I leave the "Screen Share Selection Window" open for a few seconds it completely kills the audio. (Included screen recording) Quick Information beforehand: - Software: VoiceMeeter Potato (to split game audio, coms and music, issue persists even when its off) - GPU: RTX 3090 24GB (KFA2 Serious Gaming) - PSU: 1200W beQuiet! Dark Power Pro P12 - Audio Card: ASUS XONAR SC150 My headphones are plugged via the sound card. My Question/s: So is this a software issue like bad screen capture implementation? Or is there a hardware issue that needs addressing ? Im not quite sure what else I could write to give more information about it. So if you need something tell me please. Thanks to all of you reading this and sharing your thoughts. ^^ 2021-09-30_22-51-16.mp4

I've been digging around trying to figure out which is best, i've found mixed reviews of both. This is for my home surround sound computer, I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Rx internal sound card going to my Marantz dolby atmos receiver using a fiber optic cable. I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to set it up if anyone has any experience with this i'd be more than happy for recommendations. Thanks, MP -

Hello, my headphones started making a hissing/chirping sound last night, I decided to move them to the front but it had the same problem, I grabbed a pair of earphones and i heard the same thing. Both of the headphones are connected with jack. I was trying to resolve the issue all night last night. I uninstalled audio drivers, installed them from the MSI official website, the dvd that come with the motherboard too, changed to a newer driver, and then to an older one. Still nothing fixed the issue. I have watched a couple of videos, went on 10 different forums and I can't really explain what the problem is so I can't find an answer. I'm very worried since my PC is brand new, 2-3 months old and I think my sound card is dead. I build it on my own with the help of my dad who has experience. I have a MSI b450 gaming plus mobo. The PC doesn't find any audio problems through troubleshooting a couple of times, people are telling me on discord servers that I should get a usb soundcard and see if that fixes the problem. I don't have an external sound card and I use the integrated one on the mobo, which worked perfectly till last night. I'll stay active so I can reply immedietly, please help, thanks in advance. -
My headphones are extremely loud. Currently I have them at 25% volume or so on the headphones themselves and my Windows volume is 32. Apps like Chrome have to be set even lower. In addition to the loud volume, my mic is pretty much dead. I ran through 3 headphones, all of which had the same issues. All of their mics died in a few months. Current headphones: HyperX Cloud Stinger Current Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 HD3P. Would getting USB headphones prevent them from getting damaged by the current? That's what my friend suggested. My PC is 2 years old by the way and I've had these issues ever since I built the PC. What should I do? -
Hello everyone. Since I bought this audio setup I'm facing this very annoying noise coming from my monitor speakers. I have 2 KRK Rokit 5 speakers, AT-M50X headphones, and all these are connected in a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 Gen2 sound card. It seems to be a PROCESSING noise. It gets worse when I'm rendering a song or a video. I can hear it getting more "intense" as the rendering bar "moves" or does small jumps. It gets CRAZY when I run a game. Moving the mouse creates noise, especially if I set the polling rate at 500 or 1000Hz (Razer Deathadder Elite). Setting it to 125 makes the mouse noise inaudible, thankfully. Things I have observed: - The noise starts as soon as I enter Windows (not in BIOS) - The noise doesn't appear when recording (either from a mic, guitar, or virtual instrument) - There's absolutely NO NOISE coming from the headphones, which are connected to the same sound card unit. - The noise is audible at the same level even if the volume is completely muted. Things I tried: - I have connected it on 3 different laptop (one Macbook Pro, one old Acer, and a newer Dell one), and NONE had any noise whatsoever. Therefore, thefore there's no problem with the speakers or the audio interface. - I tried different wall plugs for the speakers, evenf or a speaker to be alone in one wall plug by itself. Stil the same noise, same intensity. - I have done "tested" 3 different BIOS updates and many different drivers. No luck. I have uploaded an audio sample with my phone, as I'm pressing to run Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I've read somewhere it could be a motherboard or a PSU issue, but I haven't confirmed it yet, since I'd need to be doing multiple tests with multiple PSU and motherboard combinations, and I don't have any to test. Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Ultra Gaming PSU: Corsair RM750X (supposed to be S-tier) Please send help. Thank you for your time! Noise-Shadow_of_the_Tomb_Raider.aac

Is there any discernible difference with regards to audio in getting a USB type sound card connected outside a pc or a PCIe sound card slotted inside the pc?

So I just got a new headphone with mic for gaming, but the mic doesn't record sounds very well. Assuming this is a motherboard issue and not a Windows issue, will it go away if I buy a sound card and plug the headphone in it? In other words, does a dedicated sound card bypass a faulty motherboard's sound card?

I just built a new computer and got a motherboard that had an optical port built into the board. I had my old system hooked up to my a/v receiver and it worked fine. After hooking up my new receiver I can't get 5.1 to work on my a/v receiver. It's only sending a stereo signal. I then hooked up a Xonar GDX and tried the same thing. I can go to the sound settings and configure the system for 5.1 and apply it but it still only sends a stereo signal. I have also updated drivers for the Xonar card. Can anyone help figure out what I'm doing wrong. It's got to be one of those obvious but I have been looking at it for so long I'm getting tunnel vision!

Hi, recently my headphones started to malfunction, with the only sound coming from them a high pitched ring accompanied by crackling noises. The mic is also nonfunctional. The headphones themselves work fine, and this happens with any headphones I try. This happens with both the front and back jacks. I've disabled, enabled and reinstalled several drivers to the same end. The HDMI audio works, so i can use the speakers on my monitor. From what I can tell, this started happening after I had to remove a malfunctioning GPU from my PC, so I'm thinking I might have accidentally damaged something doing so. Is there anything I can try right now to fix this? If not, do i require a new sound card and will a cheap one suffice since? Thanks

Hi, recently the audio from my headphones along with the microphone stopped working. Instead, I hear a high pitched ring along with some crackling static. The headphones work fine, I've used them with other devices, and I've used other pairs of headphones with the same error. However, the HDMI Audio works fine. My monitor's speakers works and also when I connect the headphones to them. I've disabled,enabled and reinstalled a bunch of drivers, but same error. I've recently had to remove my GPU because of a malfunction, so could it be that I accidentally damaged my motherboard's audio doing so somehow? Is there anything I can try before I pin it to that conclusion, and if it is, what can I do? Buy a sound card? Thanks

What if we could use internal sound cards externally using those pcie ryzer cables.... EDIT: What benefits would be if we do that cause I heard that internal cards are better but they suffer from noise in the PC...

Hello everyone, recently i changed out my motherboard to a MSI B450 Tomahawk and now the graphics card is covering most of my PCI-Express slots. (Its a 3.75 slot-card including the aftermarket air cooler.) The only one left is not usable with a sound card because then the cooler of my graphics card is almost completely blocked off and my temeratures are skyrocketing... I was ruinning my "Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edtion 600 Ohm" headphones with an "Asus Xonar Essence STX II" sound card. I absolutely loved the sound-profile of this combination. Right now the headphones run off my mainboard and the sound is rather flat and boring as it is not made for 600 Ohm headphones. Now i am searching for an external headphone-AMP for 200,- € or less that is equivalent to my sound card. Of course it should be available in Germany and not bottleneck my DT 990 in any way. Any reccomendations?

For years now, I've used the old Panasoniq SA-DT100 (amp only) as my audio setup (the only part I didn't change when updating systems...). For me, the sound is great. But... it's only stereo (this setup doesn't allow 5.1 from another source than the accompanying CD / DVD player which I don't use). Since my USB soundcard, Xonar U7, has died after 3 years, I am looking for a new card. I was thinking about the Sound Blaster ZX (oldy), or maybe the new Sound Blaster AE-7 (32 bit / 384 kHz and DSD64 - quality mainly for my headphone). Internal card again for old time sakes. And, while updating this, I want to create a 5.1 setting using the speakers from the Panasoniq - I'm affraid throwing a few 100 bucks at 'computer speakers' will not provide the same quality as the speakers I'm using right now. In another topic (from 2016) I saw someone trying to create something similar, a 5.1 setup, using the Panasoniq set, but this didn't work out. So I do have a few questions: 1) I see a lot of people in favor of using a digital signal from the computer to an AMP like a S/PDIF, but... this one overrides the sound chips in the Sound Blaster. Is this still a better option than using 3 analogue cables (front, center, sub)? And if so, why bother buying a more expensive sound card (and not just a cheap(er) card with only S/PDIF)? 2) Can anyone recommend an amp which can be used for this purpose --> setting up a 5.1 system using the speakers from the Panasoniq SA-DT100 using three analogue cables from the Sound Blaster, or S/PDIF if this one is a better choice? These SA-DT100 speakers do have a special connector for the Amp output; I most likely have to strip these so there will be no jack which can be used to connect the speakers to the Amp, only the splitted wires. 3) Most likely I have to take into account the output from the Amp and the maximum Watt the speakers can cope with (sorry, I'm still a n00b on this one...) - 27 Watt center, 28 Watt front, 35 Watt rear amd 40 Watt subwoofer? Thank you for your answer in advance!

Hello everyone, I am seeking help as the subwoofer port on my Sound Blaster Z sound card stopped working. A few days back I purchased a new subwoofer, SVS SB-1000. Previously I had some small Genius sub from 2.1 set. I have the sub paired with bookshelf speakers. It all connects to the sound card through the respective ports, so sub line out, front speakers line out and I also have my headphones connected via headphone jack. All these ports are 3.5mm jacks (I connected the jack to the SVS sub with RCA adaptor) and the all still work besides the subwoofer one. What probably went wrong: Everything played nicely for like two days. Until I tried hotswapping the two subs to have a feel for the immeadiate change in sound. Of course I wasn't literally hot swapping them. I turned them both off, turned the song off, swapped them, turned on the swapped sub and resumed music. I did this like three times and then suddenly no sound from the sub. This happened when I "hot swapped" from the old one to the new one. What I tried (to no avail): - looking if all settings are right and if all connectors are in the right holes - trying if the old sub still plays (it doesn't) - changing the 3.5mm jack cable to a different one - trying different power socket in the house (note that the power indicators are glowing on both subs) - restarting the computer - starting the computer without the sound card and then back with it What I want to try but don't know how or fear I might mess things up even more: - reinstalling the sound card driver - connecting the speakers to the sub port and the sub to the speakers port and see if the sub blows the speaker port as well (lol) - try to meassure the voltage in the ports with multimeter (I bought it today, never used one before) Interesting note to add: When I turn the pc off before the sub there is this loud and short bass POP. I think this is normal but the interesting part is that both subs STILL do this, even when the sub port is supposedly broken. So... yeah. I would be glad if someone knew how to help. Thank you.

Recently I posted that I was looking for a good internal sound card. After reading the feedback, I concluded that internal sound cards are old-tech and external is the way to go. So, I have reached a new dilemma. I was looking at upgrading from my current computer speakers (Creative Labs - Inspire 7.1 Surround Sound Speaker System (8-Piece)) to more of a home theater experience. Right now I have my eye on the Klipsch 600m bookshelf speaker pair. They have a 100W RMS, 400W peak. The creative labs external X7 DAC (Limited Edition) I was looking at only outputs about 50W per channel, so that's out. What I have found is that a lot of people hookup A/V receivers to their computers. If this is the next best method, I do not plan on using the A/V receiver for anything else besides audio. Yes, I plan on stocking up on more Klipsch speakers but I would start here. The A/V receiver I am looking at is... - Onkyo TX-RZ820 THX-Certified 7.2-Channel 4K Network A/V Receiver So, my first question is, does this method work? My initial thoughts are once I rebuild my PC, I was going to use the S/PDIF out and into the receiver for audio signal. I am looking to buy the GIGABYTE AORUS Extreme (https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145158) when I do my rebuild (expected CPU: Ryzen 9 3950X, for those who are interested). Should I use the S/PDIF coming off that motherboard or should I invest in an EVGA Nu Pro and use that for signal? Also, how would tuning work? Would the software for the EVGA interfere with the manual tuning built into the receiver itself? Will it be a mixture of the two? Intentions: - I am trying to build a killer 7.1-11.2 channel surround sound system for my PC because I listen to a lot of music, watch a lot of movies and use multiple streaming platforms (mainly Prime and Netflix). However, as a hobby I am a podcaster and content creator so I want quality audio when working on this as well. Does anyone have any other suggestions or methods for an amazing, albeit overkill, audio experience. Computer speaker kits in stores and online are junky cheap rip offs. I'm trying to go hard and go home, lol.

Hello people, ok so my problem is that initially my headphones and mic (mine is decent HP H120 headset) used to work good and then all of a sudden the headphones started producing buzzing noise/ white noise/ electric interference and ultimately the static was so much that I gave up on the onboard audio and decided to buy a cheapo usb sound card, which was working fine 7-10 days until today when strangely headphones were fine but the mic is problematic (no bars rising on recording device tab or any other software e.g. - Google voice search, discord in any game) and I think the levels are too low for any program to detect and for some reason I think that it's more of a software problem than a hardware problem although I can just buy another sound card, any suggestions to fix this problem would be appreciated. Thank You.

Hello, can someone recommend an external or if not at least a good internal soundcard? my msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac has a supposidly good sound card integrated but i cant use the default realtec software to configure my 5.1 surround sound.They force me to use nahimic software what dont let you choose a fake surround sound option(next sentence). Important to me is that i can listen to everything lets say my firefox browser playing music from youtube and the sound is played in a 5channel stereo setup if its not a native 5.1 sound stream. All those creative asus and other soundcards have some 1 star reviews on amazon that are stopping me from buying one. Please can anyone help me?

Hello, first post here! The other day my on board audio was only output static and pops through my headphones. I tried to get it to work through software to no avail. Today I bought an old Mad Dog Multimedia 4.1 DSP sound card to try and fix my issues. Now my problem is that the drivers with the included CD wont allow me to install them (as you can see in one of the images the "Install" button is greyed out). I just need to get some advice on what I should try next. I tried looking up drivers online but I am unsure of what websites to trust for this sort of thing. Any advice is much appreciated, just trying to get back to editing videos.

S1200A SupremeFX Asus onboard audio vs sound card or newer ALC1220 comparing S1220A to other two makes any difference?
