• Headphones really quiet and static when on my PC
    2 replies, posted
When I use my headphones on my PC, they produce a very quiet and static noise, and everything is very low quality and noisy. They aren't broken because when I use them on my phone or a different PC, they sound fine. My pair of earbuds, however, sound okay on my PC. Yet, when I right-click on my headphones in Playback Devices and hit Test, they sound fine. Specs: Headphones: HTF-600 Motherboard: Gigabyte P55M-UD2 Audio Driver: Realtek HD Audio (Onboard) OS: Windows 7/x64 I've had the headphones for about 2 months. They also do the same thing when using them on a USB sound-card.
You should uninstall the audio driver along with the realtek control panel, then reinstall the audio driver through device manager, don't use the setup exe
[QUOTE=AlTheUnderdog;37928189] Audio Driver: Realtek HD Audio (Onboard) [/QUOTE] Found your problem. Go pick up a sound card with a headphone amp, like the [URL="http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=73088"]ASUS Xonar DGX[/URL] Onboard is [B]ALWAYS[/B] terrible. Even if it is a cheapo sound card, it will be miles better.
