Quote: Hello, apology for my dumb question. As someone who is interested in some new Schiit gear, I assume when you says `clicks` you mean from within the unit itself?, or in the the actual audio in the headphones?. Noticed the post date, don't suppose anyone could answer?   Recently...

Quote: Thanks for the information, I currently have the amp at 80%-90% on the knob with a 18db setting and the volume to 50% on PC. So far it seems fine, I'll see how it goes after using it for a bit and report back if issues occur.

Quote: Thank you for the replys, sorry about putting my issues here, I thought it would be the best place to ask about the amp. The issue is only present when the amp is in, without the amp I can adjust the volume controls perfectly fine and can reach max volume without distortion. Its...

Believe me, it's been days and a great deal of hours trying to find similar sufferers with no luck, with only some semi related popping issues. I only found one related to problem 1 somewhere on these boards and nothing came of it. This is my last hope on here In the PC everything is...

Thanks for the reply. I did try bypassing the amp via (analog out?, line out? not sure what the correct term is) connection on the STX instead but the distortion was still present. The older card I also tried was a X-fi gamer that has no added amp on it and was getting very bad distortion...

Hello, sorry if this is a major bump on the thread but would appreciate some info and assistance regarding a M-stage problem I'm having. Basically I'm having a distortion issue on the AMP when increasing volume on my PC, I can't have the volume setting any higher then 40-50% or distortion will...

Thank you for the responses, I'll try the suggestions and see how it goes, will report back soon. Will look around for information on the opamps and see if we can do something, I'm hesitant to remove them as I sent a email to the seller for a replacement ST version of the card or a refund so...

Have changed plug, made sure its had its own, doesn't seem to have changed , I appreciate the help Zen.

Sorry to keep bumping, I tried to look for that thread and can't find it now, but it was a guy with the same issue in regards to problem one. I remember someone saying it could be with the frequency being sent into the amp from the card when the volume is increased on the software, but is was...

Thanks for the replys Zen. To be clear the sound distortion on volume control is only present once the M-stage is in the picture, If I take out the amp completely volume control is fine and does not distort, where as when I re setup the amp I have to down the volume or it will distort at high...

Could anyone help with the sound distortion with volume control? (problem 1 in post), its limiting what I can do in regards of replacement sound card. When using the X-Fi I had to put the volume low to stop the distortion and the only way to increase volume was through the amp. The amp is...

Clean install, drivers in, popping still present. I've also removed the M-stage out completely before and connected the headphones straight into the STX and the popping was still there, I will double check. Ok just checked, popping still there without the M-Stage. , I've removed the STX...

I've just tried using the line out, didn't fix the distortion at high volume setting . As for the clean driver install it was with the unified driver, however I will do a clean install now to test. Will get back to you.   Edit: As for the WASAPI, ASIO, DS I don't normally use such programs...

Thanks for the reply, I'll try use the line out in a second if I can find a wire. As for needing the dedicated amp I have AKG 702s which need the drive from a dedicated amp. I've tried going through all the options in the control panels,  making sure windows doesn't alter anything etc, the...

I'll describe the problem as best as I can, I've tried everything to fix the issues but don't know what to do next, hoping some more experienced people can give some help. For what it's worth I've been a reader of the site for awhile, just never posted, anyway the problems..   (AMP is Matrix...
