what headphones are you using? and what motherboard/onboard sound chip?

usually any soundchip from the last years should be strong enough to push high volumes through normal ohm-ed headphones (quality may be bad though)

anyway, Asus makes some pretty good soundcards, I prefer Xonars over creative

In Win 7 there is more than one place that can adjust volume.I have had it before where one of the sliders got reduced and made me crazy until I dug around and found it.This may or may not be true in Win8. I would go looking before I spent money.
