Headphones issues

[Studio75]

I just upgraded to a 3070 from a 1070 and since then my audio on my beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO - 250 OHM LE DT 770 Pro 250 ohm have had many issues that I have fixed but after all of that my audio is really shallow I've tried drivers I've tried troubleshooting in windows. I dont what to do.

And for some reason when I try to plug my headphones into the motherboard the computer just does not detect it.

You need to switch to the proper output device in the windows audio settings. For 250 Ohms you want to get a dedicated quality sound card. I can't seem to find the specs on the GPU audio DACs and how they compare to each other. It also depends on how you get your audio to the headphones. I am guessing HDMI or DP to monitor to headphones, right? Maybe you need to upgrade the HDMI or DP cable with the new GPUs? I haven't really looked into that topic myself so I'm just guessing here. I'd really get a dedicated card, otherwise you cannot get the full range on those headphones.

I just plug the headphones into the chassis jack.

Did you try DDU and fresh install after switching GPUs, could just be a driver issue?

I did not but what I am thinking is since my headphones are 250ohm and since upgrading gpus is there not enough power going to the headphones to allow it to get to full sound quality and how would I do the DDU install?

You first want to install DDU (DisplayDriverUninstaller in google). Then you want to enter safe mode, the application can do that for you. While in safe mode, open it up again and let it scan for the driver and remove it. At this point you want to have the new driver already on your computer. 

Reboot into regular windows and install the driver. You will have to reboot afterwards one more time.

 

Power would not be an issue but the newer cards could be less capable in terms of output power. Again, I cannot seem to find specs on the different generations. I know for a fact, that most onboard audio solutions are Realtek and pretty much all of them (with a few exceptions) struggle above 80 Ohm. Depending on the source material, getting a proper audio device with enough output power can make quite the difference with headphones like these. This can be very subjective though. I've noticed much more details in games, especially in quiet areas of games that are supposed to give you a scary feeling, also in uncompressed recordings. Again, that is very subjective and you may not want or need that much detail so that is up to you. Long term, it would be better and you can get a used card as well, does not have to be new, just has to have supported drivers.

I have just finished the DDU and nothing changed. It did not fix anything.

Any other suggestions to fix it?

Just to clarify: Are you using the same headphones on the same audio port now (post GPU upgrade), as you were before the GPU upgrade? And the audio was fine before the GPU upgrade?

I am a little out of my league here, but if you are using chassis audio, perhaps the new GPU is causing a bit of electrical noise?

I'm using the chassis audio before and after though the case was different I fixed it by plugging it into the the motherboard and updating the bios before the MB would not recognize the jack though still right now its still quite.
