Also might want to download the latest audio driver from the motherboard maker, when we figure out the maker.

last time i updated my driver with realtek it messed it up and i didnt get any virtual sound. Should i do it anyways?

You MB comes with the Realtek ALC889A audio processor

• Realtek ALC889A codec
• High Definition Audio
• 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
• Support for Dolby Home Theater
• Support for S/PDIF In/Out

 
This is a link to the gigabyte site with the latest audio drivers for your MB
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2887#dl
Might as well install these latest drivers, might give you more options for the audio control panel.
 
Also download the motherboard manual, it shows on the manual pages 87-92 how to use the audio control panel.

In the manual, it will show you where to enable DDL.
Is not "Astro gaming Mix-amp," the Astro Mix-amp.
Try unplugging the speakers, see what happens.

I'm concerned that your MixAmp is listed as a USB device. That shouldn't be the case at all. Is your MixAmp wired? The later models (post-2010) use USB for chat audio + power, if I'm not mistaken.

okay i got it to work. I didnt see DDL, but they sound better without the mixamp. that normal? My only option without the mixamp was Home Theater/ Dolby Headphone and Natural Bass.

music sounds better without it, borderlands 2 sounds the same with or without mixamp.

yeah its wired. but i got it to work. they sound the same without the mixamp... but they do sound really awesome.
Im still trying to figure out how to turn on DDL.

This is just a guess, but I think your settings are still wrong.

If you download the manual for the motherboard, on pages 87 thru 92 is show how to enable Dolby Digital Live.

I have no idea if this is a good place to ask this, but how are the HD558's for games like red dead redemption and demons souls.(No I don't play online game's).
Also how bad is the sound leakage on them? I'm not interested in bringing the outside but I need to know if it's bad enough to annoy people 10 feet away or wake them up.
