Hey guys,

Thank you to anyone who reads this.

I'm looking for a little advice if possible please.
I have recently upgraded my GPU and PSU, in doing so due to buying a large GPU i have had to move my Sound card (Sound Blaster Z)
form my PCie x1 to the bottom PCie x16 slot.

The sound does work but unfortunately i am getting intermittent cracking and popping, i have tried various fixes but the only way i can eliminate
this issue completely is buy removing the sound card and using the onboard audio.

I'm in no way a audiophile but The onboard sound on my Mobo (Azus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS D4) sounds crap in my opinion plus i require some more power to use my DT770 Pro 80ohm headphones.

With the lack of room and issues I'm having with the internal sound, I'm looking to buy an all in one external audio solution and I'm looking for advice if possible please.

I have a 2.1 speaker system that has its own power plus my DT770 Pro's 80 Ohms, i would like the ability to switch from speakers to headphones on the fly (with a switch or through the software)
with out unplugging one and plugging in the other, plus some sort of software with an EQ if possible.

I was hoping to spend around £150 and so far i have been looking at the Sound Blaster x4 but i had a few issues with software on the Sound blaster Z card so I'm a little wary of purchasing a Creative product again.
I use my PC for gaming 90% of the time and the rest watching YouTube and listening to music.



Thank you
