Due to the front headphone jack on my computer being broken, I have been using the external sound card that came with my g430 headphones. However, it is starting to give out, so I bought the Sound Blaster RX sound card to replace it.
However, the new sound card somehow manages to be much worse than the one I am currently using. Everything sounds smoothed over and like it has a layer of white noise (not that you can hear white noise, but that the quality sounds like it has a filter over it)
For instance, in this song:

at 00:07, with my old sound card, you can hear a bit of "bite" in the cymbals, but with the new card it sounds all smoothed over.
Any Idea what might be wrong? I disabled the onboard audio and installed the latest drivers. I would just assume the sound card is faulty, but this is the second time I have gotten a new one (different kind last time) and it sound worse, so I assume that it is an issue with how I am using it instead.
Thanks for any help
