Why is my new headset's volume low?

[Vision541]

My headset volume only goes up 1 bar. Ive tried changing the properties around and setting to default but nothing. And everytime i click apply it goes loud for less than a second. Any suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, im using this adapter that came with my CronusMax Plus and I'm useing the Sound Intone CX-05 headphones. It works great just not loud like its supposed to be as it is on my phone or when using it through the 3.5mm audio out port,

Which headseat do you have?

Is this issue new or have you always had it?

Its Sound Intone CX-05. and Its done this since only when using it with the soundcard to use it on my PC. At first it was loud. But then it just stayed at 1 bar when plugging it in the next time and so on.

ret going to sounds - playback - YOUR HEADPHONES - properties - enhancement - tick loudness equalization.
that SHOULD fix it, in theory, though some headsets software will overwrite it (corsair for instance)

Thanks! I'll give it a try

no worries, its usually the culprit for low volume, when it isnt, then, things get annoying to fix.

It didn't work sadly. Very slightly. It does the same thing when i hit apply where i hear sound in max volume for half a second then its quiet again. Actually, when I inplugged the USB soundcard it does the same thing. now my sound is low coming through my monitor.

I haven't heard of this brand before. What Impedence are they? It should be written on the box somewhere, or on the brand's website.

Headphones with a high impedence will sometimes sound very quiet on a regular soundcard. My Sennheiser HD599s are pretty docile running off soundcard, since they need a DAC to work properly. Once you power on the DAC they're a totally different experience. I rarely go about 30% volume.

32 Ohm. And I actually heard of these from the YouTube Channel "Unbox Therapy" and these are known as $20 beats killers. By the manual theyre made in china. I plug them into my USB sound card (Came with my CronusMAx Plus) and it does work for voice com and as an audio output but its just not loud on my PC compared to my phone or plugging into my PCs 3.5mm audio out port.

There's no reason to use a USB soundcard on PC. Not with headphone of this type. At 32 OHMs you don't have enough impedence to trouble the stock soundcard, so you may as well use that. Realtek get a bad rep because they're a stock part, but they're actually pretty good.

Soundcards don't contribute much to audio quality. They're the final thing you should upgrade in an audio system, and even with the best DAC and Headset you're unlikely to notice much difference. My motherboard came with a $150 soundcard built in, and it barely makes any noticable difference to a $500 audio system.
