Sound card sounds weird?!

[oliver2311]

Hi I recently bought the ASUS XONAR DGX for my gaming rig. I inserted it above the graphics card, installed the driver, but it sounded weird. When i listen to music the pitch is quiet high and i cant hear all they sing. I've tried every possible setting to make it sound better. I bought a grounded PSU cable and tested it but that didn't solve the problem. Any help pls?

 

Tell me if i forgot to mention something :)

sad to say it may actually be your headsets fault. bose tend not to give the spec of there audio kit so you may have a sound card that likes low impedance pared with a headset that has high impedance. but you wont know for sure till you try another headset.

asus do make good sound cards 1s you get over the basic 1s in the xonar range which you have done. so although both parts aint cheap (well to bose headset is over priced) they may not be entirely compatible. so try a different headset and see if the problem persists.

Have you configured the correct number of outputs? maybe windows thinks you are using sth like 7.1 or 5.1 instead of 2.0

I tested another standard headset and the audio were just fine... Im sad that I have to use another headset than the BOSE couse I've never tried a more comfortable headset than that.. But many thanks for the great suggestion :)
