Current setup:

Sennheiser One headset connecting directly into the Realtek ALC892 integrated audio board. Used as output source for 98% of the time spent at the PC.

Logitech z623 THX 2.1 speakers, connecting (on demand only) into the Logitech G110 keyboard which has an internal sound board.

Easy to switch between output sources, but manual job, as I have to insert the audio jack into the keyboard, and then remove it when I want to switch back to the headset.

What I'm looking for:

Better quality sound (even though current sound quality is ok for me, although I do not have a benchmark; There is not static, hissing, crackling, buzzing whatsoever.)

A bit more oomph (volume) on the headset. Current max volume is fine, although with some games or music I sometime feel the need to have it louder. A bit more amplification would not hurt.

Easier switch between outputs, ideally something that has inputs for mic and stereo, and can output for both my headset and speakers.

Take it away.
