The output from the soundblaster is consistent.

The only thing that is switched is between speakers and headphones.

It's up to the receiver to switch between power requirements etc...

I can understand that it might be difficult for the receiver to know how
much power my speakers have because they did not come with it.

Apperently this wasn't a problem for the gigaworks subwoofer/electronics
which came with the speakers...

Apperently creative labs/and so forth designed the whole set in such a way
that it was easy to switch between speakers and headphones and comparitively
have the same
volume output. (Though the headphone did not came with it... but maybe all
headphones use equal ammount of powers or near equal ?!)

The denon receiver does not have this adventage and apperently gets confused
?

I don't ever touch the volume knob of the receiver... all I do is change the
power levels of the soundblaster via windows/x-fi software controls.

Somehow the denon receiver fucksup and the sound on the headphone is bad,
now and then, or after a while... turning up the output level of the
soundblaster unexpectedly
or suddenly somehow fixes it temporarely... and then later on the receiver
gets confused again ?!? and the receiver lowers the output of the headphones
again... resulting in crappy sound. I could be that this is a "protective"
feature of the receiver... maybe it's scared of blowing up my headphones and
lowers the volume just in case ?!?

Hmmm...

Maybe it's the cable to the headphone... near the headphone itself... it has
a cable plugged into it.. when I wiggle it the sound is clear/better...

So it might be a cabling issue after all... or maybe even magnetic
interference ?! from gsm/wifi networks or so ?!?

Bye,
Skybuck.
