I recently purchased a number of computer parts from Newegg because I wanted to build a new computer. You can see the parts in my sig. I installed the audio driver that came with the motherboard(R2.21). I noticed immediately that no matter how I configured the audio manager, the volume was not very loud even with all levels turned all the way up. I have the headphones connected to the rear green jack. In the audio manager, I have the jack configured for stereo, headphones. I downloaded the latest driver, R2.29, installed it, and the volume dropped significantly. I then went back to the R2.21 drivers. I tried front audio as well. Same thing. I tried toggling "Virtual Surround" and "Loudness Equalization". It doesn't matter what I adjust, the volume isn't loud. I can hear it "good", but it's not loud. Could someone who has experience with this motherboard and/or onboard audio chipset shed some light as to what I can do to make the audio louder?
