Xonar Essence STX

Newyuni · October 15, 2014

Bought the Xonar Essence STX and just put it in. I got a Sennheiser PC 160 Headset with normal jacks and put the 6.5 adapters on them.
I have no sound no matter what I do. New Driver didn´t work. Technical Support send me a driver that was for the "Xonar Essence STX 2" and well that didn´t help either.

I spend a lot of money on this card and I´ve never used these 6.5 inch Jacks before.

Even if it´s not as good as it could be until I can effort new ones

As you can see from the picture the sound is working but I just can´t hear anything

I used on board sound before I got this card. "Realtek high Definition Audio" from the Mainboard.

Shouldn´t my Sennhiser Headphones be able to give me some sound at least ?

Did you change the source?

After finding the settings I was looking for by accident I no do Have sound.
Don´t know who to handle all the settings. I am an Audio noob.

2Channel 8 Channel ? 16 Channel ?

Is there maybe a way for hotkeys in the software ? It says 16 Channel for 3D games in the settings.

Don´t know what "Gain" or rather what to set it on or to even risk messing with it at all.

Sennheiser PC 160 Headphones so nothing fancy YET.

I would like to make the best of what I currently have and will try to learn about Headphones to select headphones that go along with the Soundcard given the huge investment I made
