Hello, I hope thee is someone out there who could help me.
I own a pair of Sennheiser PC150 headphones (with mic) with which I game with and a Xonar DX soundcard (for possitional audio). I have some cheap generic pc speakers as well. The issue that I am having is that the Xonar only outputs through the back of the card and not to the front of the pc case (when plugging the headphones into the front of my pc case it uses the motherboard audio - Realtek). I believe this is a problem with Xonar DX soundcards. Basically when ever I want to change between using the speakers and headphones I have to climb under my desk to get to the back of my computer to switch them around which isn't good for someone with lower back problems.
Is there a way around this?
I am also looking to improve my speakers because they are really rubbish. I'm not made of money so looking to spend no more than £200.
I was looking at the Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500, however, whilst it has an output for headphones it doesn't have one for mic-in, which would defeat the purpose (well it would sound better but I would still end up having to crawl on my hands and feet when ever I wanted to put on my headphones).
Then there is the Genius gx-gaming sw-g2.1 3000. This has the ability to plug you headphones and mic into the speaker itself. This slooks ounds like a god send for me, it's just it looks cheap and nasty and for £80 for a 2.1 speaker I have doubts about the quality as well.
I would appreciate any guidence on this.
Regards.
