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...

Thanks for the response. I did load the XMOS-Stereo-USB-Audio-Class2-Driver-306A last night but all I got was another USB Audio Device to select Notice the word "XMOS" was missing from the USB Audio selection in the list of playback device.
Probably due to not getting the XMOS USB Audio Device; but simply USB Audio Device, I still cannot get the balance to work on the m9XX.
I'm going to try load the driver again tonight. Is there other information I need to know before I try again? I'm using Windows 7 OS.
Thanks!
I haven't yet seen the [Direct Sound] sound devices on my PC. On my Windows 7 x64 PC, I have two "XMOS USB Audio" devices (3- for the m920, 8- for the m9XX) when in USB 2 mode, which allows for >96kHz bit-perfect audio.
UPDATE: OK, the light dawns on marble-head. Here's how to adjust volume and balance with the m9XX. Bring up an app like Tidal for Windows. Under Settings → Streaming select the "System Default" sound device. Tidal will now obey Windows' opinion of volume (I still recommend 100% within Windows) and under Control Panel → Sound → XMOS → Properties → Levels → Balance, you can adjust the left/right balance at will.
I'd also recommend selecting Configure → Next → and checking "Full-range speakers". Might not make a difference, but why let Windows roll off your direct sound audio by mistake?
I'm currently using iTunes in Windows 7 to play back AIFF audio files. I use Foobar2000 to play back Flac files.
Thanks!
