Sound issues with sound card and headphone

[litaidd]

Trying to figure out what is going on with my sound card/ headphones. I recently switched over to a gaming headset. I had a really good studio quality headset before that I think was around $500 when I worked with audio files. But now I mostly just game on my computer so this time around I just bought the $140 Game one headset. I have several other headsets that I tested and it only happens when I use this specific one. I actually originally bought this headset back in may of this year and it had the same issue so I returned it. Since then I have upgraded my system, all new motherboard and cpu and that so I know it isn't something related to my system. So I decided to buy them again and I noticed that same thing is happening. I tried replacing them again and I got the same issue. The sound is really distorted and when it very first starts it's like it sets my volume to 100% and with my sound card it gets really loud and it just screams in my ears. The only way that I have been able to fix this is by disabling 7.1 surround sound in the sound blaster program, and or restarting my computer. I did the driver thing and that and it still does the same thing. So it seems like it's linked to 7.1 surround sound. I really want surround sound and I don't think it's acceptable to just have it disabled on a $150 sound card and a higher end gaming headset. So I'm just looking for someone that really knows a lot about headphones and sound cards and stuff like that. Any questions that ask stuff that I have already stated that I have done will just be ignored.

If you are having the same issue with the same headset, don't get that headset anymore. I would have stopped after the first replacement did the same thing. Did you check with support for the headset?

Also there is no need to use 7.1 on that headset because that is a stereo headset, the PC 333D is the surround sound one https/www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-506065-GAME-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00GWU8FTK
