So, I have an odd problem with stereo separation/overall sound quality

So, When I'm using my headphones (M40x) from my motherboard it sounds worse than using a line-in with my phone(LG,G2)

 

The stereo separation/overall sound quality is much better when coming from my phone while using googleplay as my main player, I mean, I've tried it over the web and even using my 320 copys from foobar and the sound is still better from my phone as a line-in.

 

 

 

I have no idea how else to describe. Everything sounds richer, more bass, a wider sound stage, I don't even know how the fuck that possible.

Are you using 3.5mm with 4 metal lines or 3?

Are you using the jack in the motherboard or the case?

 

Try reinstalling the audio drivers for your motherboard: http://us.msi.com/support/mb/B85G41_PC_Mate.html#down-driver

 

Motherboard and I'm using a line-in from my phone to my motherboard to my headphones. it's a weird audio change and i don't think reinstailing my audio drivers would fix it

Wait, what?

 

Are you plugging your phone into the motherboard, then trying to listen to it through the motherboard's audio jack?

AFAIK, attempting to do that will give you bad results with on-board soundcards of that tier.

 

For what reason are you doing it? Just curious.

Ugh, Trolling in CS:GO. I use my phone as a mic and play whoever my steam account is set up as. People don't mind for some reason.

When he said 3 or 4 he shouldn't have said lines. It's 3 or 4 poles and each pole is the metal part between the black lines. 

 

As for your situation, are you sure you're not just listening to one louder than the other? Because that would explain it. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

no it's about the same, my phone does go louder but i don't have it maxed like my pc. my phone@50% is the same as my pc@100%

Have you ensured all presets and enhancements are turned of in your audio manager?

He's not fine, if he was fine he wouldn't have an issue with his pc sounding like shit.
