Sound card issues??

[pbracing33b]

Hey guys me and this other guy were talking, and he is telling me that I have a driver issue problem with the sound of my speakers! I am not buying this at all. For one reason I read in multiple forums where a person replace the onboard sound with a sound card upgrade, and people have had there problems go away completely!
The problems: Rear speakers have little or no sound. 2 turn up the volume and u get a tinny sound real bad. 3 other speaker have very poor quality of sound at normal volume!
This is coming from a Windows 7 64 bit system, all drivers are up to date! Also the onboard sound is a Reatek ALC892

So I believe the best possible solution to this matter is to buy a quality sound card! The other said its a driver issue problem!

So I am just wondering what everyone else thinks! And why you think so!

Also another good reason, is that from the multiple forums that I have read, there is a major issue here. So lets give those people a place to look to for their problems!

Thanks for responses in advance!:good:

Just an update, after talking with Asus support, they told me that Microsoft Windows 7 does have issues with trying to overtake other programs. I ended up buying a Xonar 1 sound card and it does seem to fix all of my problems! Plus I also learned that there are alot of features that need to be turned off, or on, for Windows 7, It was like a maze! But I got it right! That is ridiculous though! Plus even with my new card installed, it still wants to have control over it! I did get that fixed I think!
