Hi all, i recently bought a pair of sennheiser gsp 500 headphnes to replace my <Mod Edit> logitech usb headphones and im having some serious issues.
First of all when plugging into the front of my desktop tower the sound is near on non existent, so i plug in to the back straight into the motherboard where i would normally plug in my speakers and this gives me clear nice sound but here is where the problem is, the volume just isnt there. i have volume maxed on windows speakers and volume turned right up on my headphones but when im playing music or a game the volume is just about half what i can get from my crappy logitech headphones. i have looked in every dam setting i can find. on top of this when im playing music and go into my sound settings the volume only peaks at 50% now ive read soomewhere that the motherboard usually has the inputs limited as generally powered speakers with amplifiers are plugged in. is there somewhere i can change that setting or how can i fix this problem! its driving me up the wall and i want to exhaust all my options before i resort to buying an amplifier for these headphones.
my motherboard is a msi z390-a pro
i have updated drivers
please help,
