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...

I am running Window 7 Enterprise 64-bit system. I have tried installing the universal driver with and without the unit plugged in. Updating the driver (7.4.18) with and without the unit plugged in. Plugging the provided USB cable into different outlets. Restarting the laptop. Jumping in a circles on one leg while patting my head and rubbing my stomach. Nothing. I am not getting sound from any media.
Any assistance is appreciated.
UPDATE: It also seems to be minor issues switching back to my old FiiO E7 with the CE Drivers installed. There are no issues once uninstalled.
What do you mean use another computer to update the firmware? Which firmware? DAC, operating system, codec, etc? And how would results with a different computer be any different?
This update can be done from any computer that correctly recognizes the Slim: for example... You can borrow a co-worker's MacBook for a few minutes and update the firmware on the slim. Firmware updates are permanent and dont generally need to be repeated (for the purposes of this conversation)
Edit: the firmware can be downloaded on this page, towards the bottom inside the tab labeled "Firmware": http://www.centrance.com/products/dacport/
However, DAC now works just fine on one of those laptops, but not mine. My computer keeps failing to install whatever drivers and subsequently still does not recognize the device. I have full admin rights to my work laptop. Obviously I am annoyed. But it is what it is.
You're on the right track, no spoilers :D
