10 FAQs

FAQs

I can’t hear any sound from my earphones or speakers.

Check that:

difference for a few seconds.

The X-Fi enhancement switches are not set to the “On” position. Slide the

switch to the "On" position to enjoy the difference.

I hear audio distortion when using an X-Fi enhancement.

Depending on the type of audio source, distortion may occur when using an

X-Fi enhancement at high levels. Decrease the enhancement level until the

Can I use noise-cancelling headphones or other special

audio-enhancing headphones with Xmod?
