No bass?

[Retired]

So I just got my Razer Tiamat 7.1 and there appears to be absolutely no bass. I googled quite alot and according to Razer you have to "configure" the audio device to 7.1 in the sound device tab, but I cant configure the Xonar Phoebus. Dolby doesn't do much to increase bass either. How the hell do I get bass on this sound card :|?

go into Dolby and manually adjust the EQ to your taste.

Maybe I should've been more clear. What I meant by "Dolby doesn't do much to increase the bass either" is that EQing has next to no effect, even when pushing the lowest frequencies to max. The meter goes into red but barely any bass response, if any.

i had to enable flex bass 11 in the control panel too get any bass with flex bass 11 turned off the bass in useless .The equalizer doesn't do a thing to the bass nothing zilch i have the razor tiamat 7.1 as well.With flex bass 11 on you will defiantly hear it also i would like to see a bass and treble adjustment button in control panel that works in future drivers if that is possible .

I just bought the Razer Tiamat 7.1 and i discovered that i need a 7.1 sound card. So the next day i got an Asus Xonar DSX sound card and i put it in my comp, and plugged all the jacks in. I downloaded the latest drivers and rebooted my comp. So my problem is that my bass or subwoofer isn't working at all. Please help 😞

What content are you playing for testing for bass? Mp3 or something with 5.1 or 7.1 channel audio stream? It might be helpful if you can post some screen-capture pictures showing your settings.

I tested it by playing some youtube videos( ones were songs and others were just people talking) and there was no bass. I tried enabling FlexBass but then everything became super like muffled and bassy like (lol) no matter what i set the setting to. Oh and my settings on Main are the following:

Audio channel
8 Channels

Sample rate
PCM 96 KHz

Analog out
7.1 Speakers

SPDIF Out
Is disabled
