Games include, PUBG, Fortnite, World of Warcraft, Overwatch. Nothing really does the trick.ĭo I need some kind of headphone amp, or maybe a good quality sound card? It's hard to believe that because the sound is great when not playing games. Through Google searching, I have tried changing different settings, such as levels, enhancements, etc. The sound on the motherboard is your Realtek High Definition Audio.

Those plug into the sound card on my motherboard.

Headphones are HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset series KHX-H3CL/WR. On those external speakers, I have the volume up to maximum, but the volume control in Windows set to about 50%. In those platforms, it's very loud and I usually need to keep the master volume around 40%.Įxternal speakers are very old, but work great, Logitech X530. If I watch a video on YouTube or listen to music in iTunes, the sound is perfect. Even then, I would like to be able to make it louder as needed, more than maximum. I have to turn everything up to full volume in order to have an acceptable level of sound.

While playing video games, using my headset, the sound is usually very low.

Headphones quiet at max volume
