The problem is that whatever it is I'm running, the audio for any application or file is absolutely gutless and lacking in any warmth whatsoever, simply because all the bass content of the sound is not coming from the subwoofer but is in fact sharing the front-right channel.
Broadly speaking this new PC is a dream to use, but four months in I find myself becoming more and more needy for a solution to an issue that has been present with the system’s audio since the first time I switched the machine on. The mainboard for this new build is a Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 – Rev 1.1 on which it’s audio components are supplied and run by Realtek. In late December/early January I assembled a new PC of above average spec and despite some very minor niggles I am for all intents and purposes a satisfied customer.
