Subsonic Xonar

At the end of last week, I replaced my tired old Soundblaster with an ASUS Xonar DS.

While speaker tests [set up for stereo in Windows control panel and Xonar application]
check out fine and music and game soundtracks sound as they should, I can barely hear
in game dialogue, mission briefing or audio coming through from my tv card.

Have you any idea why this is so and what I might do about it?

I am running the latest unofficial modded UNi 190 drivers as ASUS' software caused Windows to stop me from running most of my software.

My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit edition.
 
What speaker setup do you have? The same thing has happened to me in a game that I had accidently changed the speaker setup (ingame) to 5.1 instead of stereo. It wanted to play the sound through a centre speaker which I didn't have.
 
Weird that the official drivers won't work for you. I'm currently running the xonar xense and have had the xonar hdav 1.3 deluxe in my win 7 64-bit system without any problems. Anyways, like Toxin said, sounds like ingame settings might be set to 5.1.
 
Nope. I have stereo speakers and have set them up as such.

This doesn't only happen within games, but when watching video on YouTube too.

I need to turn the volume up to 100% to hear anything and that is accompanied by a squeaking sound.
 
Do you have a little app that you can adjust settings in? I know on my DX I got that and when I first installed it the bass and everything was all messed up and caused the sound to be squeaky.
 
The Xonar control panel? Yes. Fortunately the sound output to my headphones is good enough to satisfy me.

I'll see if I can borrow a set of stereo speakers to test with my Xonar. Perhaps Logitech Z4 2.1 speakers don't
play nice with the Xonar DS out of the box.
 
Yes that is it, I also installed the universal driver the other day, the control panel is a little different but it works soooo much better.
 
It works perfectly with plain stereo speakers.

My Z4s have been consigned to handling console audio output now.
