Help im a little deaf....

Hi all , i have just upgraded my system and i need some sound help,

i have a rog strix 370f board and seinheiser pc360 headphones,

Im not as young as i used to be and after spending 10 years as a hardcore dj in my younger days my ears have paid the price,

i use the onboard sound and its ok but i do have to have it cranked all the way up and i would like to have something fitted to boost it so i dont have to turn it up so much and to give me something more as i get a bit older/deafer ,

im not sure what im looking for as such some kind of amp but i dont know how it would connect to my computer? any advice would be much appreciated ,

Adam

Hi yes the setting are all up , its loud for someone with good hearing but i personally would like the ability to turn it up more for when im listening for footsteps etc in games , not sure about the wireless headphones as im using headphones anyway ? thanks !

Well i only use stereo anyway i just want to boost what comes out the pc , its an investment so i will spend what i takes i guess

That is overkill but a nice bit of kit. Only really useful if you want to plug some speakers in as well.

The SOUND BLASTERX G5 is well reviewed and fits the bill.

Thanks so if i got the G5 external sound card i would then disable my on board sound and use the new one on its own ?
