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...

1. The top plate of my black unit has clear discoloring from the factory. Speckled on a patch about 4 x 3 inches. Quite dissapointing.
2. The greater question is about driver. Where did you find your drivers?
I download the driver but it was a .rar extension which is compressed. (like zip) http://www.yulongaudio.com/en/down.asp
But when I do the setup, I get this message: "can't find any driver designed for your machine"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
ps: I am trying to set it up so that all sounds from the laptop goes through the Yulong - in effect it become my soundcard. I did that with Eastern Electric Minimax Plus and it configured itself with no effort. I'm assuming I can do that with the DA8? Thanks.

Make sure you actually extract the whole archive into a folder, it sounds like you could be trying to launch the installer from within the .rar archive, which would also account for that error. Effectively, you'd be launching the installer from a temporary directory without the rest of the files present, giving you that error message.
Somehow I don't think the drivers are signed correctly either, so either possibility is more than likely the culprit behind your installation problems. I can't remember at the moment if an unsigned driver warning popped up on 7, but I can try uninstalling/reinstalling if you'd like me to test. Otherwise. please try these and let us know if either works!
Edit: I just looked at the drivers, they are signed by amanero, but it seems the certificate expired 6/28/2013. It says certificate valid from 6/27/2012-6/28/2013. Not sure if that would effect installation on 8, as I'm on 7 and don't have a system running 8 to test on.
