![]() I don't have a y-splitter, all that came with my headphones is a 6.3mm to 3.5mm adapter. Yep, can hear perfectly fine from my terrible onboard audio! No, there is no hum or buzzing at all unless i'm messing with the RCA cables regardless of volume. ![]() Sadly this is the first piece of equipment like this i've bought, so i literally have nothing else compatible with these units but the units themselves. Using my own, tried 2 separate ones which is all i have at this moment. If the amp can control the volume and you get sound then the amp is probably fine as mentioned from the retailer. Make sure the volume on the amp is all of the way down at first so you do not blow your headphones / eardrums. Do this via the Y-splitter from your PC headphone jack and run it into the amp. You can bypass the DAC and just try the amp. When you listen using your headphones straight from your PC can you hear the music?ĭid you actually install the ASIO drivers I mentioned in a previous post? Make sure the "Mute" checkbox is not accidentally checked in there as well. Make sure in the Sound and Audio Devices section of the Control Panel for Windows that all of the volumes in "Advanced" are at least 80%. When you turn the volume up on the amp to say 60% can you hear the amp hum a bit louder? Is your headphone jack seating all of the way into the jack on the amp? To me it sounds like the sound is coming from the PC to the DAC, but you should test each section of the chain to determine what part is causing the issue.Īre all of the power LEDs on for both the DAC and Amp? Don't know if this helps.ĭid the stack come with a USB cable or are you using one of your own? Perhaps try another cable? Try a different power outlet. It then goes away if the RCA cable is plugged in any bit at all. (So sound is getting through the amp anyway)ĭoes anybody have any ideas? I think i've tried everything, but would greatly appreciate any help with this before i decide to cut my loses and just return them.Įdit: I just noticed there that if i touch the end of the plugs that i can hear the computer sound under the buzz (whatever musics playing etc), although its low and muffled and overshadowed by the buzzing. The retailer doesn't think its the magni as he got me to remove the RCA cables and to touch the ends of the plugs to the units which caused buzzing through the headphones. I've been onto the retailer who sent me out a replacement modi as he believed it was defective, but i have the exact same problem with the new one. I have also tried 2 separate USB cables and another headset (a friends hd 558s), all of which work fine otherwise. ![]() I've tried it through 2 separate windows 7 computer, a windows vista laptop and a different windows xp laptop and all four of them have the exact same problem. I'm using PYST RCA cables, standard USB 2.0 cable, sennheiser hd 598 headphones (which work fine through any other audio device). The computer detects the device fine and installs the drivers, i set the device as default and the volume mixer seems to show sound going through it, but there is no sound at all on the headsets, no matter the volume on the computer or the amp. It arrived, i set it all up and have done everything i can think off, and i can get no sound at all from them. I heard great things from the Magni/Modi and being new to the world of audio, i figured this was a good stack to start with. ![]()
