    I use MaxxAudio. It sounds better than SoundBlaster imo (I got the soundblaster upgrade too)

    I just got some nice speakers, turned on Sound Check and bass boost in the Windows settings, and it works fine for music, movies, games.

    Thank you guys. You think I should uncheck the sound blaster option: "allow devices/applications to have exclusive control of this device" ?
