Thank you for the replay and info. My 7.1 USB headphones sound horrible in 3.5mm stereo mode.. I will test it out though. I disabled my monitor in the windows/sounds/playback options so it wont swap sound devices. This works ok however there is still system lockups. I tried pausing my AV software and it did run 3 brief sessions in iR pretty good however it just locked up again..
I'm sorry I do not see a sound device list in the main CC Ui.. Did I misunderstand something here..?
