Asus headphone jack: Can anyone provide feedback regarding this?

There is definitely a problem with the audio jack. Mine was working OK for about 2-3 weeks. I'm now having the same problem as you. When rotating the headphone jack (on the headphones) - the audio comes in and out.

I some what understand your question, I don't think it had anything to do with the headphone amp though... to eliminate the question, try to do the same thing without it being connected, and last but not least, I don't know how this amp would make any device(s) lose any files... I haven't had that problem.

Hey Larry,Thanks so much for your response; you were 100% right. I just got these yesterday and the jack is a standard headphone jack. Much appreciated.Cheers,Matt

Your board has Soundblaster cinema onboard. If you get the right software for that, it will be fine. It has a very decent onboard amp that is capable of driving headphones, and you won't find a significant difference in quality here. If you are getting any sort of hum, whine, static, or other noise when using the analog outs, you will probably get that with the Asus card also. In that case, you can use the optical digital out and use a decent DAC like the Fiio D3 or E3.

To be honest I really don't know, I basically sent it right back, I've ended up with Asus muse edition way more expensive but between its dac & headphone amp,it's worth every penny for its mind blowing performance under $1000, happy hunting for your sound!Regards Heriberto

To update this, there's a possibility that it's just inappropriately hard to push the plug in all the way the first time. I'm checking out the Sandisk forums and it is an occasional question there:http://forums.sandisk.com/sansa/board/message?board.id=clip&message.id;=19340&query;.id=178666#M19340I am going to try to force it in further tonight - beyond all reasonable expectations of how hard one should have to push a headphone jack in - don't really care if it breaks because if it doesn't work I'm going to send it back anyway. So I've nothing to lose.

I'd see if I could get this kind of adapter locally. For example, our local BestBuy had one for a dollar, I think.The headphones? Haven't used them much; initial thoughts: pretty good sound, not the most comfortable.

It's maybe because of Asus's Audio Wizard. You should try these steps and see whether or not it'll work: 1. Press the Asus Console button on the keyboard (the only blue button on the keyboard on the top right) 2. You will see a panel shows many controls you can switch. 3. Click the Audio Wizard panel (the purple one) 4. You will see many equalizer options. 5. Click OFF to switch it off. It'll return to normal audio without any software interference. I had this kind of problem too when the volume got ridiculously loud. Hope this'll help :)

I've had no problems with mine, but I don't use it often. I picked up a headphone jack to analog converter cable, and just use the R & L inputs in the back. The quality on this unit is fantastic, it's well built and I don't think you'll have any issues.

the jacks should be on the front and back of the PC. the Actual program to adjust the settings should just come automatically when you plug the headphones in, at least that's what happened with me. You can also search in your computer for the Realtek HD audio manager if it isn't just popping up immediately.

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.

Hi Robert, did you find the adapter? It seems it's out of stock everywhere, ASUS discontinued..so are we out of luck,uh?

It does not have a headphone amp built in so I would not trust it. Asus however has a different model sound card that is basically the exact same as this card but has built in headphone amp. I believe it's the Xonar DGX GX2.5 model, so check that one out.

Be sure that the headphone really is plugged in all the way. Athough I purchased the Ubuntu version, the hardware is identical. I noticed that it requires a bit more force to plug in the headphone than I expected, so the first couple of times, I got no audio, because I wan't really plugged in. If you still get no audio, that may be a product defect. In that case, contact Amazon or ASUS for exchange or warranty.

I had a similar problem and my warranty had also expired. What I did was purchase a set of USB headphones which got round the need for the headphone jack.

I've never had this problem. It may be something wrong with the 3.5mm jack, or it could be a problem with the input on the pc. Plug the earphones in other jacks and see if the problem persists. If not, it may be the pc that's the issue.
