Hello everyone, I have a cmoy amp I built a while back and it has worked great up till now. When I plug in my headphones the sound is muted until move the jack around inside the plug, which makes the sound go in and out. If I spin it around to just the right spot it will work but it's pretty...

Okay, I think I am getting it a bit more. Thanks again for the help. So from what I found, generally you'll get 100 ohm max output from your laptop. Does that mean any headphone rated below 100 ohms will sound no different with and without an amp?   Sorry for all the questions, I am...
