Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

However, it seems that the DACport HD with this 8.0.1 driver doesn't feature 24 bit Windows DirectSound drivers. What the hell? There are only 16 bit options available in the Windows sound properties and even the ASIO panel has been tweaked, so it automatically sets your sample rate and bit depth based on what a host program reports, instead of letting you choose. What the hell to both of these! Not having 24 bit DS drivers must be a mistake, for it means that anything using the default "just output sound windows" command effectively is stuck in 16bit.

CEntrance's site is being redesigned literally right now, as in there is no page for a variety of products, I see placeholder texts, you can't download drivers, nothing.
