After purchasing quality gear, the system becomes overly loud.
Hey everyone, I recently purchased a Sennheiser HD598 and a Creative SoundBlaster Z soundcard. While listening to music in CS Go, I can barely hear footsteps, but the gun sounds are really intense and hurt my ears. I even feel like it’s at a volume that could damage my hearing. I really need some advice or help.
I understand your frustration. It sounds like you're having trouble with the bass level and it's affecting your ears.
I've been experimenting with volume 0.1 since I began adding it to the console
Try adjusting the volume using loudness equalization and reduce it slightly. I'm playing at 20-24% on my Xonar U7, which makes quieter sounds more noticeable.
