Low sound with Xfi XtremeMusic
Posted: 03 Jul 2010 04:27
Hi,
I have been having problems with getting the quality of sound I should be getting with my hardware. I have been running an Xfi XtremeMusic card paired with Sennhesier HD555's and the volume of the sound seems to be exceptionally lower even at 200%. I could be playing the same exact music file (V0/FLAC) and the sound in any other media player, be it foobar, wmp, winamp, the sound is always louder and clearer at a LESSER volume on those players. It isn't the music that bothers me much but rather playing HD movies. I have checked the audio settings and have it set on default, although, no other option seems to make a difference beside win32 wave output, but the downfall of using that is the video loses sync with the audio. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
