My specs are as follows:
MB: B450 TOMAHAWK MAX
Win: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
Memory: 16 GB @
- 8 GB DDR4-3200
- 8 GB DDR4-3200
Graphics: RTX 2060 GAMING Z 6G 6G, 6144 MB
I'm looking into getting a sound card (Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus SABRE32-class Hi-res 32-bit/384 kHz PCIe Gaming Sound Card and DAC with Dolby Digital and DTS), I had a Sound Blaster card in my previous PC and had really great sound from 5.1 Logitech speakers. Upon getting a new PC I don't have that same great sound from onboard sound (nor 5.1 surround no matter what configuration I use/swap for jack locations shown in Motherboard manual). Realtek doesn't update anymore via Microsoft store apparently and I'm only getting sound from front 3 speakers and sub (center/front left/front right) whether from Spotify or during gaming. I appreciate any info, thanks.
