So, I've been having weird issues with my Maximus IX Hero.
First, everytime I plug something in, it says that the impedance is equal to or higher than 110ohm and amplification level has been set to Extreme
Second, and most importantly, some apps don't have sound consistently...
Example:
I'm listening to Spotify right now. Sound works fine.
I go to launch YouTube, no sound.
Trying to watch this video actually -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP9yL3n7PPk&feature=youtu.beTried other videos, no sound.
Sometimes I do have audio, but it's so sporadic.
Also, when I use Skype for Business, I get all the system sounds from it, but once I initiate a call and the call sounds finish, I get no audio (I can't hear people and they say they can just barely hear me)
I've gone into the playback devices and disabled everything except the Speakers themselves (including the Optical out) so that the Nvidia Outputs or the Dell monitor outputs don't suddenly become the default device. Same with the Recording tab.
Before I run out and buy a dedicated sound card, is there anything I'm missing here? The Skype for Business problem is a big one as it means I need to get a laptop to be my work phone for the day when I'm working from home. Part of the reason I got this motherboard was because it said it had a great onboard sound card system.
