Initially, I used my desktop computer with Windows 7 (good overall sound) and then installed XP on this machine and did some CMP mods and achieved even better sound (excellent bass). Last week, I built a new CMP machine using the Asus C60M motherboard (dual core 1GHz) but it doesn't have the same bass definition at all... In fact, the bass is almost nonexistent on this machine.So, my original high-wattage desktop with a partial CMP conversion offered better sound than my low watt complete CMP machine. Even Windows 7 on the high-wattage desktop sounds more full. Of course, the mids on the new CMP machine are great... Perhaps even over-pronounced. What could I have missed?
Edit: Just had a thought... I am using the new Foobar2000 on the new CMP machine... Maybe they messed up the code.
