Problems with headphones

[mikeybal]

Just built my new pc, played a game and i noticed that my audio is much different than on my old pc. I used to play on another pc, much worse one and the audio was better though. I'm using the exact same headphones, but on my new computer it seems a lot harder to tell the direction sound is coming from and overall it just sounds lower quality. I'm wondering maybe because its a cheap case so the audio port might be worse. 

 

Anyone have any idea?

Depending on your headphone model, it might have a program where you can calibrate audio and update driver/firmware for it like iCue(Corsair) and Razer Synapse

But not on 3,5mm headphone jack headphones thats only for usb headphones as far as i know

that tends to happend every motherboard and case have different dacs plug it in to the back of your pc for best results. and your audio could be gettig compressed check your sound settings and make sure its at least running 24 bit audio.
