I stand corrected. The AV710 does, indeed, use the Envy24HT-S chipset, itself a cost-reduced/feature-crippled version of the mid-level Envy24HT.

The Envy24PT, on the other hand, is generally restricted to motherboard-integrated audio solutions, and its maximum sampling rate is capped at 96kHz (versus 192kHz for the Envy24HT-S and Envy24HT).

Thanks for the help guys but I dont know why it works for some people upgrading from nforce2 onboard audio to the chaintech with the same exact headphones yet it dosent work for me. After more than 5 hours combined fiddling with the low volume and bass problem (which also affects the line out) I give up (before I actually start physically stomping on the card

). The new 3.10a drivers crashed my firewall, ftp server and internet connection. How? I have no idea. I did a system restore back to right before I installed the drivers and everything worked fine again so Im almost certain its the drivers. No point in returning the card since the shipping back to newegg would be around $8 so I guess Im just gonna use it with my cheap altec lansing speakers - chaintech for pc speakers and onboard audio for the A900s so I dont have to switch the plugs back and forth. Btw, is there some kind of plug I can buy that would do that without the use of two sound cards? I want to have both my headphones and speakers plugged into one soundcard and be able to switch between them.
