Hi.

Any one can recommend Fiio products for laptop/PC? I feel like the onboard sound of my laptop is quite bad even using normal Nokia headset. hmm.gif

No offense, but the thought "won't all on-board sounds bad if paired w/ stock Nokia headset?" still lingers in my head. hmm.gif

I prefer to have a good bass for my earphone/headset on both music and movies

Imagine you blast a small speaker over the limit and you can heard the sound of sand falling on the aluminum plate, something like that. My laptop is currently produce such sound even the master volume (main + player) set at 50% or lower, on external speaker or headphone.

Does your recommendation (especially E7) fix such problem? This is my first time in audiophile world. smile.gif

Solution: Go to Jaben and try some USB DACs w/ your laptop. biggrin.gif

EDIT: Sometimes headset w/ TRRS connector might not work w/ some laptop. Happened to me a couple of times. The resulting sound will have distortion regardless of the volume and is probably caused by bad contact.

Hmm...If that case then I'll try on other laptops that used Realtek onboard soundcard and investigate if this happens only on my laptop.

I can't go to Jaben because I'm living in Kuching. biggrin.gif I'll spend some fund to buy E7 and see if this solve the problem I'm having. Thanks for the explanation. It really helps me.

I've finally discover the buzzing sound/bunyi nak pecah problem after plugging the sb x-fi pro.

The problem lays on the player + codec I'm using. I uninstall and reinstall the updated version, and walla! The problem is finally fixed, both onboard and sb x-fi. I'm starting to fell in love with sb x-fi with it's sound clarity and punchy bass, which I really wanted to hear. biggrin.gif

Glad it's solved. smile.gif Mind sharing the player and codec that you are/were using? Will be helpful if someone else have a similar problem. notworthy.gif
