Hi, so I recently bought laptop and installed garuda. Now I’m trying to use my headphones(arctis nova pro wireless) using 7.1, but I don’t have this option in settings. When i click on 5.1 setting, suddenly the only thing i can hear is very loud noise that makes my ears ring. Can someone help me with this?
