Thinking of retiring mine. Just got an aorus x570 master. Sound ain't bad at all.

Annoyingly it doesn't have headphone jacks at the rear.

I'm staying. Plus this is the longest thread I've ever created. Lol.

X570 master is very good. But just listening to some hi def on YouTube and you can tell the difference.

Plus positional audio in games is better.

There s a cold boot issue on these latest drivers, sometimes when i boot up it's like the soundcards not plugged in the only thing that solves it is reseating the card in the slot
I know its the driver because its only happened on these newish updated firmware and drivers, doesn't happen all the time

I have this too.

It's almost repeatable... if I drop in to bios and then reboot, windows doesn't see the card. I have to reboot again for it to pick it up.

I don't have to reseat it mind. Although did once one my old mobo....but not on my new one.
 
So I've not had any problems for a while. But i've just had my audio go muffled. Like all i was getting was bass and no mid or tweeter.

I restarted and rebooted, and with in seconds of a video it would do it.

noticed there was an update in the commander app...I've updated and rebooted and I don't think it is happening anymore.
 
Really enjoyed this card, but over the years I'm listening to music less and less and with the labyrinthitis I got a couple of years ago my ears have never really got back to decent. I can tell the difference to my onboard still, but it's pretty minimal to me.

So I'm just going to get a wireless headset for the light gaming I do, that can also be used for mobile phone calls etc.

Up for sale on MM if any one is interested.
