I have been having problems with my pc. You can read here: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3384439/red-screen-death.html

Tl;dr: Red screen of death and blue screen. So i replaced my psu.

Everything is working fine, except my sound. Not when I load a game (in this case overwatch and I listen to a voice line I only hear the line very faintly in my left ear. Like the character is way behind me. The same with youtube videos. However, my sound when I use the volume mixer and hear the "ding" sounds normal. And testing my sound here: https://www.onlinemictest.com/sound-test worked fine as well.

which inputs are you using the headset through? Is it USB or analog cables? Digital? Trying to see if its the USB drivers that might be at cause or if its your Realtek Audio drivers. Motherboard has Realtek® ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC *1 << just got this so if I need to find drivers, latest on Asus board aren't the newest made by Realtek.

Did anyone ever read the dump files in that last thread? Can you download and run who crashed - it will give us a glimpse of the errors you getting and might help us solve them

Copy/paste summary in here and I see what I can do :)

Sorry for the delay. The headphones were 3.5mm and the extension wire that came with them got stretched out. I just bought new headphones. Needed an upgrade anyways :)
