Xonar Phoebus 7.1 Solo NO BASS

I recently bought Xonar Phoebus 7.1 Solo and connected the Razer Tiamat 7.1 cables on some gates. Installed the required software and its latest versions and i am experiencing absence of any single bass! I have searched all the internet but found no sufficient advice that could actually help me... I am not a soundphile neither have i been knowing a lot of sound cards etc... I have connected the green cable where the green light is, the grey on the side, black on rear and the orange next to the black, i dont know if this is correct but as i see, only the headset option on the soundcard software is enabled, speakers cannot be selected but S/PDIF-Out unexpectedly can! Maybe this the cause... There is absolutely no bass and i have selected every option possible and did all combinations but still didnt experience any single bass! I have searched the whole internet and found no way to adress this ****.
I knew i shouldnt have bought soundcard, such trouble never had before... I suppose i have connected the cables incorrectly. When i connect the orange cable in the front, the speaker option can be selected, the bass works but the overall sound is completly sick. What should i do?!?

The out with green light is for stereo headphones only. You should use front, side, rear and sub/mid outs and set the driver to 7.1 speakers. To use the sub channel some bass redirection with flexbass should be used (at a 80Hz cut off). As of sound quality, the tiamat is not very good for music.

Gaming headphones in general are not good for music since too much bass in games is distracting from other important sounds like footsteps that are in the mids range of audio spectrum.
