Firstly, I want to make sure I plugged the 5 3.5mm jacks into the right slots. I have the green in headphone, pink in mic, black in front, grey in side, and orange in the center/sub ports of the Xonar DX.

Also, I'm getting a humming/buzzing noise with my Razer Tiamat. What kind of troubleshooting solutions could I try to resolve this?

If I followed that set up. Would I not be using my soundcard then? Since it looks like he's plugging it into the motherboard onboard.

That's what I meant for my original post. Currently, I have it plugged into my separate sound card and want to make sure I have the correct color match up. There's no color coding on the Xonar DX that I see besides the green/pink.

The problem is that their 7.1 speaker setup only marks 4 out of the 5 3.5mm jacks. In the 7.1 diagram I have 3 for my stereo jack, 4 is my mic. That leaves #1 and #2 and the slot above 1 which is unmarked. The black 3.5mm jack on the Tiamat says rear which is taken by #4 as it's the mic slot.

Do you see what I mean?

You read it wrong from the manual. The top unmarked jack here,



is the mic jack. Need to match the headset plugs with how it is shown above.
