Posted December 13, 2023 Hardware: Mobo: https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b650-a-gaming-wifi-model/ with ALC4080 with Savitech SV3H712 amplifier, along with DTS® Sound Unbound and Sonic Studio III Headphones: Audio-Technica ATH-M50X When I first booted my new PC my headphones were listening significantly louder than in my previous mobo. I was happy. It was clear my previous mobo couldn't run them well. But then the ASUS bloatware (I was just testing stuff to see if there was anything useful in the Armory Crate s**t) installed Audio Drivers that completely screw my better sound. They went back to listen as they did in the previous mobo. I uninstalled all the drivers, and devices and rebooted. It went back next time to the default Microsoft signed drivers, but my headphones still sounded "bad". But I plugged them in my front jack and they are as they should be. So this has to be some sort of config that I'm not finding. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 13, 2023 Have you tried a different source altogether? M50X have quite a reputation for unreliability, wouldn't hurt to check you didn't play too loud and potentially damaged the drivers in your headphones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've switched back and forth from the rear port and front port and they play softer in the back, louder in the front. Is not that much louder, but it's noticeable. It must be some software trick I'm missing that is not configured well. THe only other thing I have is a laptop that outputs the same as my old mobo (which I still have working).

Yeah another device altogether, it's standard procedure for any headphone issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
