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...

That said, most people are probably going to connect to a PC running Windows 8.1 or older. (Windows 10 support is expected in the middle of July.) These people will likely use the included optical cable or USB cable. Some tips in this case would be to make sure you have installed the driver from Creative's support site, and adjust your recording and playback devices accordingly. You'll want to make sure you select the proper output, and format, such as 24-Bit, 192000 Hz under the properties advanced tab of the E5 under playback devices, if using USB. It's worth your time to study the E-series software to maximize its value for your specific needs. You'll need to use this software to change from the built in microphones to the ModMic. If you plan to use the included mount be aware of the eventual rubber discoloration issue I've mention in previous posts.
A tip for using it with a wired mobile connection is that double pressing the power button will disable charging. This will prevent both the E5 from charging your phone and any device from charging the E5. With any connection type pressing the volume button down will mute the audio. I haven't managed to adjust the input levels and other things via the phone application while connected to another device such as the PS4. This are just a few of the tips I think might be relevant to most folks. Let us know if you need more, and what they should be about specifically

Yes the quickstart guide showed me what I need. I was mainly just wondering what needs to connect to what, but I think I have a pretty good understanding of it now. Thanks again.
