Hello, I registered today on this Community.
Recently I bought a Audio Technica CKM77 In-Ear Headphone to use it with my computer / portable video games.
But there is a problem happening when I use it with my Computer.
First of all here are the Specs of the IEM :
What is happening is that the sound distorts / clips on some types of sounds, I tried to reduce the Volumes on the Sound Card Controls but it's already on 1% from 0 to 100 and I can't reduce it more, also reducing volume on music players doesn't remove the distortions / clipping ( as expected ).
I think my Soundcard ( Onboard from VIA ) is outputting too much power for my headphone and also my headphone is too sensible. That's why it's distorting.
I want to know if there is something I can do to solve this without buying another headphone.
Maybe a Sound Card that would work better for this type of Headphone, an Amplifier wouldn't work I guess.
Is there something I can do to solve this?
Thanks and best regards.
For example : On this Sound played on 0:25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_pdGnozLnk ( LOUD SOUND WARNING )
It's 100% Distortion / Clipping on my Headpone but it doesn't happen on my Speakers which are plugged through SPDIF Optical.
Also the Music Final Frontier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsOCHIMr7Fk
Has clips when he says Frontieeeeeeeerrrrrrrr at 6:25ish. But sounds perfectly on my Speakers ( SPDIF ).
