Hi, my on-board soundcard on my motherboard came with this software. I'm wondering what option I should be choosing in the settings here. http://i.imgur.com/olhPY3D.png I'm using headphones, specifically ATH-AD700s, so you would think I should choose the headphones options, but I've been using...

Well I already sent an email to Head-Direct about this, but I decided to try the RE0s on again today thinking somehow they might be working again. And lo and behold, both sides work! What's going on? Will the left side eventually stop again?

I was actually on my computer at the time, so I did plug into my computer right away, and it was still the same. I've also tried another pair of headphones on the iPod and it works fine. I ordered from Head-Direct, so I guess I'll just call them tomorrow then... :(

I bought a pair of Head-Direct RE0s, I got them in mail yesterday, and now they are broken. I was listening to music with my Touch today, when the left side of the earphones stopped working, or so I thought. I tried using them again, and I noticed that I could still hear a little bit, so the...

Question, what are IEMs? A type of earphones?

Is this a good or bad idea? I have trouble sleeping and I want to use it to listen to some white noise while I am sleeping. What I'm worried about is that I might turn my head at night and there goes my headphones.

I see, and do you think I need to get the Rechargeable battery and TOSlink Optical Cable? I don't even know what the optical cable does though.

I'm looking to buy something to connect my headphones and a mic to my 360. I also want something that just makes my music sound better. Not sure if I can have all three things, but you guys know more about this stuff than me. The only thing I've come across that does the first two things, not...

Interesting, if that is the case, then does that mean that every song encoded with VBR has the same file size? *edit* Never mind, I found two of the same song in my collection and both are VBR. But in theory doesn't allocating bitrate for certain parts means that the song needs x amount of...

So all VBRs can go from 32 to 320 kbps, depending on the the part of a song?

Ah, they probably are. I never knew what VBR meant. Is VBR a good or bad thing?

Does bitrate lower over time? I've noticed that some of my songs have dropped to random numbers such as 191, 219, and 188. Is there another cause to this? It's pretty annoying to have to go through all my songs and replace them again.
