    Xonar STX sound issues from speakers and microphone

    So I did some cleaning, removed and swapped some cables around and found that the sound only happens when I play a game - doesn't matter the game at all. I disabled on board sound and installed the stable set of uni xonar 1.8a instead of the latest Win10 ones I had and it seems to have solved...

    Xonar STX sound issues from speakers and microphone

    Hey all, So recently I've had some issues with my Xonar STX thats around 6 years old now. All of a sudden it's developed some noises through the speakers, but not the headphones. Here's an example of the sound: Also, there's some odd microphone static and occasional high pitched whine that...

    Unfortunately, in my country there are no replacement pads for any high end cans at all. I'd have to order them from Amazon regardless of what I pick up. To be honest, I just want fun sounding cans. Competitive is rather a secondary, if not tertiary, thing for me. Importance for me is immersion...

    Welcome back MLE! Love you reviews, you definitely have a way with words making purchasing easier. For anyone: I had a pair of Fidelio X1's that I dearly loved for a few years now. The pads ripped and I don't seem to have any way to get another pair, or any pair that fits for that matter. I've...

    Hey all! So after getting the Fidelio X1 when it released like... 4 years ago one of my pads finally gave up. The inside fell apart and I can now see the foam as the fuzzy outside is unraveling off it. I'm sure there's a way to fix it, but if not I'm in the market for a new headset...

    Corsair 2500 & Xonar STX - Extremely low sound and no bass

      I didn't at first, I just did. Didn't do anything unfortunately. Just to make sure I did it correctly we're talking about the HD audio controller on board right? Yes, I've tried both, but to no avail. Yep, it's set to 2 speakers.   Also, I just noticed I have this Sonic Studio thing for...

    Corsair 2500 & Xonar STX - Extremely low sound and no bass

    Hey all,    So I just upgraded my motherboard and CPU but now when I put everything together, something screwed up my speakers. My bass no longer works and the sound is SUPER low.   When I plug in my headphones the sound is normal.    I checked the settings and I'm not in night mode nor is...

          I wish I had a soldering iron and some knowledge on how to open them and not fear to break them further, otherwise I would fix them myself.   I do own a Modmic (another supremely well done purchase due to this thread, along with the X1) so the X2 I guess would be the choice. The...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    So due to some issues with my X1 (audio jack is messed up leading to a sometimes dead left side) I was looking into getting a backup while my X1 is gone. As someone who loves the X1 and how it fits (it may even be a little big after 2 years) would going to an X2 be something to do? I love the X1...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    Because I'm 100% sure I'll make it worse than it already is. Plus I don't have the tools to fix it (no soldering iron).   The second headset is for a backup. I work in an office and I need another pair ASAP while I wait for these to come back, may as well look at upgrading (if there is even...

    So after nearly 2 years with my Fidelio X1, it's time for me to get a second set. I've ran into an issue with them where the audio jack seems to be faulty (sometimes can't hear from the left) and want to get a backup as I was told it may take nearly a month or more to get my headphones back.  ...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    I found a place that does headset repairs in the end, so sent it off to them. If they can't fix it, they'll ship it to Phillips, but I have a bad feeling in general.   Time to find a new headset then! Gotta find one as comfortable and similar to it as I loved the X1.

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    It looks like it might be the cable. Tried it out with a friends cable, couldn't hear out of the right ear now instead of the left (think it wasn't the correct cable) but the left ear was perfectly fine, this is normally the opposite. I had to really play with the socket to get the same "can't...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

        And here I was hoping it was the cable as I have to play with it and not the socket itself. Hope I don't have to open it to fix it, not super handy with that kind of thing.   If I wanted to open it up, there a guide anywhere? I can't for the life of me see how I'd open these up to check...
