Is there any way to stop Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card from muddying up the sound? Replacing 4161 drivers with 4193 drivers made it less bad but not as good as connecting speaker set directly to computer's two channel output with Y adapters. What drivers will improve on this?

Seems like your observation and other online forum posts about TBSC and my computer consultant's recommendation of it are all in agreement and pretty much confirm what I've already suspected. Converting two channels to four really is a tradeoff regardless of sound cards and drivers that are used.
Thank you for your help.
