Reply to comment by joddeldido in HD599SE sounds worse than my old G433.. What am I doing wrong? by spamrundie

Yes this morning I reconnected them and now the front panel works. Obviously there's no change in sound.

I don't know if this is the case for you too, but apparently the Realtek Audio Manager has been replaced with the Audio Console (from the microsoft store). Kinda sucks I can't use the equaliser without enabling DTS, and there seems to be more options for a Realtek Digital Output (environment options, etc.) which my headphones apparently aren't (they're under the Speakers tab)

I noticed that too when updating to windows 11. I would recommend getting a dac, for the 599 the apple dongle dac should be sufficient. It's only a few bucks.

What improvements does the apple dongle dac give? Is it compatible with windows?

It probably (!) Has noticeably better sound than the onboard dac on your Mainbord. And it is compatible with windows

Is the EU version of the apple dongle good too? I live in the EU and importing from US is a bit too expensive
