Hello!
This is gonna be quite a long text because its quite a long story & problem
So lets get to it,
The problem/Question
So the output out from my motherboards (x99 strix) soundcard is way, WAY to loud, I have the problem with every headphone i own.
And i also have this problem with my new headset (G633) i just bought. I bought the G633 because i can connect it with my pc via USB.
And i was thinking the audio would go over a integrated soundcard in the headset.
This was not the case and the sound was still the loud, even over USB.
I cant really find anything online that anyone else has this problem.
As you guys probely know Realtek is "Special" So yeah im not sure of the driver is correctly installed or even installed...
This is because if i try to find the Realtek software i just cant find it, its not there.
I hope someone can help me with this problem (the background story is quite important it can give quite a bit of information)
The background story
So in the beginning 2014 i bought a custom gaming pc from a local pc shop.
Back then i didnt know anything about pc's: components, software.....
One of my components was the ASUS P9X79 also with Realtek audio.
Back then i had the g430 or atleast one that really looks like the g430.
When i bought the pc they gave me a 20 euro usb soundcard where i ofcourse had to plug my headset in.
Back then i didnt think of it or find it weird.
Later in May 2016 i bought new headphones (audio-technica ath-m30x) and a mic (audio-technica at2020usb+)
It this point i knew allot more about computers so i pluged my new fresh headphones in my mobo and WOW the sound is really really loud
I did some research and well couldn't find anything...
So i connect my new headphones to my mic.
The audio was pretty bad and there where sometimes electronic noises but except that.... It was ok.
End of 2016 i bought a x99 cpu from Ebay but that a whole other story. I also bought the strix x99 motherboard.
Also from Asus. I thought i would finally be able to use my audio from the pc itself.
I thought the really loud sound problem was just a problem with that one motherboard... it wasnt.
So im hyped new cpu, new mobo and working audio.
I plug my headphones in and WOOW Still really loud. I tested some random headphones.
They all have the problem, still couldn't find anything online so yeah.
Today, 2018 i wanted to buy new headphones. I was first thinking of the audio-technica ath-m50x but those have a 3.5 audio jack and well i would still have to plug them in my mic....
So i started thinking of a headset with USB because this would not use the soundcard from my pc. So i thought....
The G633 from Logitech still had the same problem WAY to loud.
At this point i just only had one option an that was to ask you guys.
So i was thinking on part has never been changed in my pc the last 4 years and thats my PSU
Could this be the problem maker?
Or i was also thinking about buying a sound mixer of some sort.
But i dont have any knowledge in audio things so i would need some advise from one of you guys
Thanks ALLOT for reading and helping me in this problem!!
And im sincerely sorry for my bad english.
Thanks
