Windows 10: NOOO SOUND-3 MONTHS TRYING! WIND10

IF WINDOWS 10 HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS, CAN'T WE GO BACK TO THE LAST VERSION AND WIPE 10 OUT FOR NOW? I'VE BOUGHT 4 SETS OF SPEAKERS, DOWNLOADED COUNTLESS DRIVERS/APPS FOR 3 MONTHS! NOOO SOUND!!!

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

Sound Quality


One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.
