Headphone problems (RESOLVED AND I'M APPARENTLY STUPID)
« on: September 21, 2013, 11:08:05 pm »
I've been having problems with my headphones for a while now, but it's just getting intolerable at this point. I have a pair of Sennheiser PC 151s, I don't know if that information will help, but hopefully it will. The problem is that the headphones constantly make this noise like...I don't exactly know how I can describe it, it's a low humming, kind of like the sound you get when you plug in an amplifier, only higher pitched. It might be due to a short in the wire, but hell if I know where. All I know is that when I move the jack slightly up in the socket it makes a high pitched screeching sound. Any fixes besides buying a new pair?

Okay, nevermind. Apparently I had my headphone jack in the microphone outlet and the microphone jack in the headphone outlet.
