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.

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.

They should work with just about any device that has either RED/WHITE RCA output jacks ... OR ... a 3.5mm standard stereo output jack ... your ASUS has the standard stereo headphone output jack (3.5 mm) ... it will work, and YOU WILL LOVE THEM !!! !!! !!!

I have to disagree. When I use mine with either my on-board Realtek Azalia or with this SYBA external USB Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux Extra Audio Source with Microphone SD-CM-UAUD it sounds loud and very well balanced. They have a "reference" feel, they are very compliant, with a flat response curve. That is, highs, mids, and lows are given the same weight. This is typically found in professional sound equipment, while consumer headphones and speakers are built to accentuate highs and lows. Someone who's used to bass-heavy headphones would probably describe them as weak and tinny, but to my ear they represent bass quite well, if it's there. You can use an EQ to overcome this, and they should comply. I have to disagree.

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#M19340 I 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.

My inline jack is broken, so I can't actually test this for you, but I think that the answer has more to do with your operating system than the headphones. To the best of my knowledge, the standard setting for most systems makes you push the audio to one device or another, but if you find a forum specific to support for your OS and post your question there, someone might be able to help you figure out the right work around.

My device is working properly, you can review the jack if you do not enter all the device that provides the audio may sound monophonic.

Agree with other folks who posted; get a headphone amp or maybe a USB DAC to take on the work of sound processing from the integrated sound card. Though they have gotten better integrated sound cards suck compared to a dedicated card or device. I was looking at picking up Audioengine D1 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter for my PC; so that I can connect my monitors and also use the head phone jack for these PC350 or my HD 600s.

what? why would it not work? does it work when you plug other things to it? and how about this laptop of your can you hear sound from it? when you plug headphones to it? basic troubleshooting.

I had the same problem on my new Asus 1005HA-P. This is a problem because I bought this for long train commutes to watch movies. I went to the Asus website and downloaded the latest audio drive. A simple process to install and it resolved the low sound problem when using the headphones. Hope this helps.

I haven't had that problem. Sounds like your PC sound card and the head phone have conflicting drivers

A right angled headphone jack may work, but I haven't specifically tried it.

I have not been able to connect up my case's audio ports. I suppose there must be a way to do it, but I am not savvy enough to do it. I do find this to be a problem. The rear input ports can be extended with short cables to the front, but not the headphone jack. The card's headphone jack mutes the speakers when a plug is inserted into it, just as one would expect. It is a minor but very annoying problem.

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.

Neither could I ! The USB port would not work with my laptop or MP3 player or other audio sources either. This unit has many other bugs as well. I returned mine after toying around with it for 30 days.. Sorry I couldn't really help with your problem, other than my strong recommendation to return it ASAP.....

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.

I haven't had any problems with the headphone jack. I have a Creative Zen Sleek (with the monochrome screen) and have had it for about 8 months. The only problems I have had are: 1) Dust under the screen (seems pretty common, but there are now jackets and cases available which might alleviate that), 2) The thing has locked up a few times (maybe 4 times since I got it), and 3) I get an error when trying to configure the removable disk feature. As far as the price, is you spend another $24 you can get the Creative Zen Vision with 10 more Gigs, a larger screen and VIDEO!!!
