Agreed, some boards do have better audio than others, which is the whole point of this thread.
The OP obviously is experiencing this.
I happen to be sitting in front of a machine with one of the Asus ROG Sonic chips you mentioned .. but this is not your average internal chip.
Suppose I should check out that Asus chip since I have it, just never did.
I bought the motherboard for other performance reasons.

Too bad we didn't know about the Behringer issue early enough to warn berntd, as I think it may have tarnished his experience with an interface.




I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
