I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

I came across a few hiccups with the dacport and my laptop. As reported earlier, it was working fine on my laptop. Connected it to my desktop, listened to some music, BSOD, and then I disconnected it from my desktop and plugged it back into my laptop.
No sound would come through, with Windows Media Player giving me complaints about being unable to play an MP3 file, VLC "playing" the file but no sound, and youtube videos not outputting any sound. Control panel looked normal. Switching to onboard audio worked, but not back to the dacport slim.
Restarted the computer leaving the dacport plugged in and tried to play music again. I got the garbled static noise that some others have reported, as well as a control panel which reported incorrect values(96000hz, 24-bit max i think) when compared to a working dacport slim.
Plugged into my desktop and listened to some more music via ASIO. I thought the BSOD might have affected the DACport but it appears to be working fine.
Plugged into my laptop and now I can play music again. Bizarre.
Windows 10 on both computers.
//edit: Driver seems to be stable on my laptop. No freezing or blue screening even after hours of youtube playback.
