I recently built a new computer for gaming, and when I gamed for the first time on it, the sound from the front using the headphone jack was nasally and unclear. When I switched to the microphone jack, the audio was fine, but i could not use the microphone with the headphones. I am using an MSI A88XI mainboard, with an athlon x4 860k chip. Is it an issue of driver updates or connection/software issues, or is there something else going on?
