Hello, I have an AMD-based PC I built several years ago, AMD Phenom x4, 16gb ram, etc. I bought with it this sound card because it was highly rated and because it could transfer digital audio(5.1 and better) unfiltered, meaning as raw audio or encoded. Also, it has an amplified, powerful headphone jack, and since I use headphones often, this sounded great. Well, I recently reformatted my computer with a new SSD, Win 7, and have drivers for the sound card, and from all I've read and my own experience, this card is compatible with Win 7, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I can't get that darn headphone jack to export any audio, at all. Drivers/program installed successfully, I just can't get audio out of that headphone jack, and I've tried numerous headphones + external speakers on the 3.5mm headphone jack on card but still not working. Messed around with every setting I could think of. These are/were nice cards, hardware anyway, so it seems like such a waste that it won't work. Right now I'm forced to use onboard motherboard audio, which is obv sub-par. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
