So these are my first decent headphones, and so far, I'm loving these headphones. But, they are way quieter on my desktop than on my laptop.
For example, when I drag the windows volume to 100, it makes the 'ding' noise, but it's not nearly as loud as on my laptop (maybe equivalent to 30 on laptop). Another example is, my mechanical keyboard drowns out music/skype a lot of the time if it's quiet (even at 100 volume).
I'm wondering if this is because of the onboard sound (ALC898 on an Asrock Z77 Extreme4 vs Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 77) on my Macbook Pro), or if this is not typical and I'm doing something wrong.
Either way, what are solutions I'm looking at? Thanks for any help.
