Something extremely weird happened to me the other day, I hope some experts on /g/ can shed some light onto this.
I was browsing and looking at youtube videos as usual when I clicked on a new video. For 1-2 seconds my whole PC seemed to stutter a bit when suddenly I heard this immensely loud, high pitched sound coming from my headphones. My ears were literally getting raped at what felt like max volume. I instantly removed my headphones and thought for a second that the video I just clicked started off with a screamer. I looked at the sound tray icon and muted it, yet my headphones continued to emit this high-pitched, max volume beep for a good 30 seconds. It seemed like the headphones themselves generated the noise.
I seriously don't even know where to begin when it comes to troubleshooting. I run a pair of akg k702 through an asus soundcard.
I know /g/ isn't tech support but this just freaked me the fuck out. Now I don't know when to except another screamer out of nowhere from my headphones. I have to add that I was extremely sleep deprived while this happened so maybe I was imagining things. The pain and shock from the loud noise felt real though.
drivers, maybe your headphones fucked off
who knows
You need to ground your headphones by sticking the connector inside your anal cavity 60 in deep for about 30 minutes until it's discharged
sounds like you've fucked your drivers aynon

How could drivers get so bad
I have the same problem.
Running an original Schiit stack/AKG K701 and occasionally it freaks out.
Sometimes it's a loud pop, sometimes max volume static, sometimes high pitched noise, sometimes it just turns off.
Re-plugging the modi fixes it immediately and there doesn't seem to be an obvious cause.
After swapping out the usb cable and trying a few different ports I was going to write off the dac but after seeing this I'm not so sure.
