Hello, i would like to hear some opinions about z170 motherboards onboard audio. Currently i own z170-k motherboard and onboard audio seems way too low for me. I'm playing with the settings and drivers for months now, nothing really worked out for me. Maybe someone own a mobo like this and has a similar problem?

Anyway, now i planned to buy sound card and i choose Asus Sound Card XONAR DSX. Hopefully it will improve sound volume. Maybe someone could recommend a better sound card or this one is good enough? My price range is about 60 euros.

I need a better sound mostly for music listening. I own SteelSeries Siberia v2, not the greatest headset but sound is not too bad, just too low. Also mic sound is insanely low.

Thank you for attention.

Greetings!

This is probably an unnecessary question, but is the volume on the headset themselves turned down? I doubt this is the issue, but I always like to start with the simplest place and go from there.
