Hey guys,

I've got a question. I've got a pioneer se-ms5t and I've directly heard the difference with all my previous headphones.
Now I'm getting a Sound Blaster X-Fi HD later today and tomorrow I'll get a Sennheiser HD 600 in my possession.
My question is, will the HD 600 work with the X-Fi HD?

Thank you,

B

Hi, me again,

I got the X-Fi HD. I've paired my pioneer se-ms5t to it to try it out. Honestly I'm lost. There is a crackling sound when I play songs. Is this normal?

I don't have the X-Fi HD, but I wouldn't consider that normal. Is the crackling sound constant? You say you hear it when you play songs; when there is no sound, is there any similar or the same noise?

There are others reporting similar noises, this google search might help:

It's only when there is bass and treble...the rest is quite clean. When there is no sound there is no cracking.

I looked it up and I found a post that was quite interesting about putting CPU at 100% I'm going to look at that tomorrow as I'm working the graveyard shift at work. Thx for the link!

Hey all,

A little update. I tried setting the CPU on minilmi 100%. I changed the frequency outputs... Nothing helped. So I thought it was maybe my pc. Plugged the X-Fi HD USB to my laptop. Same thing... Afterwards I tried another (cheap turtlebeach headphone) headphone. No cracking with the bass and the sound is pretty good. But no voice?!... I searched the net for some answers. I think I found the problem. It's the audio jack adapter. When I play with it with my pioneer headphone I get mono sound, great bass without cracking and voice. So now I'm waiting for my HD 600 that has another adapter. Maybe that will help. I'll keep you guys posted.

Cheers,

B

Hey,

Sorry to bother again...
I just got my HD 600 and it's amazing. It works as it should on the X-Fi HD USB. No more cracking. It was indeed the adapter jack.
Thank you guys, it's great to listen to music like this.

Cheers,
