HyperX Cloud low volumu

[markos13]

So i just got the hyperx cloud and i noticed compared to my plantronics 780s the volume is kinda low and the mic , i kinda fixed the mic with some boost , but the sound quality is still low i tried re-installing audio drivers still the same , i got an asrock z87 extreme 4

[Majestic]

That's because your plantronics 780s were USB.. Windows volume set to max?

[SeanAngelo]

check the windows volume settings 

[markos13]

all is set to max both windows and headset

[Butterfish]

I have the same issue with the mic being low on my QPAD QH-90's (Same headset without hyperx branding)

[TBNRunity]

I have hyper x's. Sound quality is great mic was a little low so I just boosted it in sonic radar II. (A sound program that comes with rog series boards, I'm sure you can download it)

[Majestic]

That's odd, that board has a TI-5532 headphone amplifier. Which should've been more than adequate...

[MaxBunny]

My guess is either your unit is defective or your PC can't power up a 65 ohms headset. If you had an amp to test it with we'd probably know which is the case.

Could be software limited somewhere

[markos13]

dont rly have anything to test it out expect my 100 e phone , which sounds normal

[Majestic]

Hm, is the output in your onboard drivers set to "headphone"? Sometimes they have two types of outputs. An amplified and non-amplified. FOr some onboards that settings switches the headphone amp on/off.

[markos13]

u mean on the playback deviceS ?

Yeah, you can set it to 2.1, 5.1, 2.1, stereo and usually there is also a "headphone" option. If there isn't, it's already amped.

[markos13]

there is stereo  , quadraphonic, 5.1  and 7.1 they are set to stereo , they are named "speakers" on the playback devices not sure if it matters

[Majestic]

Hm, then I really don't know. Maybe if you click the speakersymbol in your taskbar, rightclick and open "mixer". Maybe the program you use is set to 20%. Sometimes windows does this.

[markos13]

nop , they are all maxed , dunno maybe they are defective or smthing

[Majestic]

And you're sure you've plugged them into the GREEN socket?

[markos13]

yup , its the only socket they work on

[markos13]

i read another thread a guy with a similar prob but  i dont understand how he fixed it 

They it on the front panel. I think that mobo is one of the wierd ones where I live the front is amped. You may get some interference though.

It actually works! I miss the surround sound effects, but the quality is absolutely worth the price.
The loudness and the quality of the clear audio is very enjoyable.

Cool.

[markos13]

the bass feels weak too dunno

[Majestic]

Well, under the stickers it's a 36 euro headphones. Don't expect it to be a HD650 and you'll have a good time.

[markos13]

is there a change a analog to usb converter would help ?

[Majestic]

You mean an external amp/dac. Possibly, still think an ALC1150 implementation with TI 5532's should be able to play the HyperX's without issues.
