I have gotten it to work only 2 times and each time i get distortion at bitrates 192hz and above. But no audio from headphones.Ī) is Sonic Studio needed at all to use the HiFi box? (Looks like a pretty useless software to me, I don't use effects.)ī) being the HiFi Box USB based, does order of software installation matter?Ĭ) can the HiFi box be used when onboard Supreme audio is disabled in BIOS (p.e. Reinstalling all these programs in various ways, both from the ROG pendrive and from Asus website, rebooting in between, nothing fixes it.ĭoes a "Asus Supreme audio files Cleaner" type of solution exist?Īh, extra info: In the Windows Playback Device screen, when I click "Test" on the HiFibox it shows sound levels going up and down. After clicking on a jack and on "next", nothing opens. HiFi box application shows "Jack selection" screen.
On the retail OS I got HiFi box working, sounds great, I only miss the auto-output switch based on plug detection, being all Realtek stuff it should be possible!īut.in the Insider build Sonic Studio and HiFi driver are installed but clicking on the icons does nothing. I have 2 Windows 10 partitions (one is Home, retail one is Pro, lastest Insider Fast build). Just to attract attention to HiFi panel problems, yours or others, I will add mine to this thread:
The examples on YouTube appear to describe previous versions of SSII that have almost no connection with how the current software looks or operates.ĭoes anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue? The supporting documentation is unhelpful, lacking a meaningful description of how to configure these audio devices and how to use them. There are only two connections, so it would be hard to do improperly.
I have triple-checked that all drivers are installed (i.e., both Realtek and SupremeFX Hi-Fi) and that the front panel is connected to the motherboard and PSU properly. If I connect it to the rear panel, it works well. the microphone on the SupremeFX Hi-Fi front panel is extremely quiet - even when the volume is set to the maximum level. Teamspeak 3 won't recognize the SupremeFX Hi-Fi headphone output. This means the software options available in SSII (e.g., equalizer) have no effect on how my headphones sound when plugged into the front panel. I can't get Sonic Suite II to interact with the SupremeFX Hi-Fi headphone output (i.e. While I can get sound from the SupremeFX Hi-Fi headphone output on the front panel, it sounds pretty dull and unimpressive compared with the sound blaster zxr.
I'm using Sennheiser HD650s with a 6.3mm jack.
Here are my issues/supporting information: While I'm generally pleased with the board's performance, I have been quite disappointed with the front panel audio. I just finished a new build with the Rampage V Edition 10, i7-6850k, and GTX 1080s in SLI.
