Just upgraded mobo to B550 Aorus Elite V2 which has "High-End WIMA & Audio Capacitors" which "provide rich sound in the bass and clearer high frequencies", but after plugging in my Sennheiser HD555 to Line Out there is virtually no bass at all. The treble is fine and clear for regular speech and the volume is actually louder than my old sound card, but bassy music is completely pointless to listen to, and most YouTube vids sound tinny. I've installed the Realtek driver (dated 2020/11/26) from Gigabyte's mobo support site (https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Motherboard/B550-AORUS-ELITE-V2-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver) but this only provides the driver, no audio manager to adjust settings or tweak an equalizer. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a secret port, driver or piece of software that goes with Gigabyte's onboard High-End Audio, or is this truly the best on-board sound can do?
I have an Asus Xonar DS that was on the previous mobo which I am thinking of switching back to. The only thing is, I have a feeling that the old Xonar drivers were contributing to some blue screens, so am reluctant to go back to this.
Any advice appreciated.
