WinAmp supports ASIO and WASAPI for bit-transpatent playback, you may notice a difference by bypassing the windows mixer.
Ways to improve sound clarity?

How do you do that? Just chose my output as the Audigy instead of Default Windows Device?

ASIO4ALL (which you need to download [and install offline settings]) takes the information from your player (Say Winamp or Foobar2000) and directly sends it to your video card processor (DAC/OPAMP).

Wasapi is the same as ASIo. I havent had much luck with WASAPI though and im on windows 7.
Only drawbacks is that you cannot adjust the volume via windows. It must be done through the audio player- and if you have you headphones or something directly connected to your sound card- high volumes..well are really high (must have the settings on low volume to listen). This only applies to that situation, if you had an amp for headphones/speakers- you can adjust the output there.

Well the headphones go through my speaker set first which has a built in volume slider so no worries there.

I highly recommend Foobar instead of Winamp. Just my 2cents. I personally don't like winamp xD
Or, use Creative Media Player. I like that

I wont touch anything Creative again, too much BS from that company. But the Foobar comment, why Foobar? Does it have better sound quality? I love the Winamp layout and I've been using Winamp for easily 10+ years.
