Hey all, Just registered to chuck in what happened to me... I havn't read all of the thread, but noticed there are some recent posts.
I too just had this happen to me, this frightening, horrible experience leaving me scared to use my headphones again (Audio Technica AD700's). Bad apart about these headphones, and id assume most audiophile style is there is no volume. So it just blasted me deaf!
After the initial "bang" it continued a high frequency squealing/buzzing noise. The only way i could suppress it was to switch to my speakers, although i did not risk turning them on.
After a reboot, the noise is gone but i am a little skeptical in using them now.
I am using;
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Asus Xonar STX
Driver: UNi Xonar 1822 v1.75a r2.exe
Also note: This happened while I watched a youtube video, no games or anything cpu/gpu hungry were running at the time.
Yep, core problem in the Vista audio stack. The 6 kHz scream is tied to OS events. The Asus® AV-100 and similar chips from C-Media International aren't the only audio chips to be hit with this problem. Microsoft engineers estimated the 6 kHz scream as related to the resampler, but the hotfix wasn't much help in this department. I've heard of no similar problem in LinUX.
