Hi,
 
 I have the NU Audio sound card and Overall I think it's Awesome. I have had some issues with it, an example being I can't use the Nahimic software without serious problems in Battlefield 5. The fix for this has been to simply uncheck the Nahimic software when installing the Driver. The downside is I have lost some nice features in the Control panel.
Besides that, recently I have noticed that if I make adjustments to the 10 band Equalizer I can get what I can only describe as clipping. It's most noticable with percussion and I can hear it through my speakers & headphones. I have the master volume set at 80 to allow headroom for the Equalizer, could it be that with too much adjustment I'm reaching the limits of what my speakers or headphones can cope with?
The speakers are KEF Eggs 2.0 which I use with a Klipsch 10" sub, not high end I know but decent and the headphones are Philips Fidelio X2's & OPPO PM3's.
I did notice that the sample rate for playback was set very high 32bit - 384000 so I have lowered that to 24bit - 192000. Just wondered if anyone else has had this clipping type sound and what sample rate is best for gameplay and general music listening? 
Thanks, Cyber!

Some of my games audio was funky, and I could not get my music quite right.
 
I removed the "Nahimic EQ" and swapped to "Equalizer APO". My mic input clipping for no reason and at random is now gone, and my audio is clean, flat, and modifiable.
 
I am not sure if it is just me but the Nahimic EQ is not great, heck when I tried to reinstall it the drivers would install fine but the Nahimic EQ would throw a blue screen.
 
As for output clipping I can't say I noticed. Or to be more accurate I am wearing double hearing protection because 450W rms is no joke when you are trying to drag race your audio equipment in a small room. But from what I could hear through my skull it did not sound like clipping. And that was with 100% master out, most of the time I am sitting at 50%.

I roll with 24-bit as well (19200Hz because using a mic requires it) when gaming since some games can't handle 32-bit.
 
I don't have issues with Battlefield 5, @CyberPunk71. What issues are you experiencing?

Good advice all, thanks,
 
Don't know what it is with BF5, it's the only game I have problems with, with Nahimic installed when I launch BF5, immediately the music volume is very low with a terrible distortion to it, remove Nahimic and it's fine? Have never gotten to the bottom of it.
 
I'm sure back when I first posted about this it was flagged up as a known issue but still not fixed with the latest Driver, it's not really a big deal, anyhow, thanks for your replies, Cyber!
