Question Lenovo E485 Beeps instead of other sounds That was the reason in the first place for me to install the Sigmatel driver So, my guess is, that it's some kind of a driver problem. But here comes the problem - I can't use the headphone's microphone because, without the Sigmatel audio driver, the line-in for the microphone is red-ish and doesn't record any sound I make. With these drivers the audio is perfect, there is no distortion and stuff. 'High Definition Audio Device' or something of that sort.

UPDATE: I just uninstalled the Sigmatel drivers that I had isntalled and rolled back to the ones that Windows 7 installs. I used some normal/common headphones before and I didn't seem to notice that problem. Furthermore, when I plug the headphones into the PC everything works fine - both Skype and the Music. I've also talked on Skype with these headphones yesterday and the sound seemed very good even without changing the volume. It's not because of the music player - I've tried several, including online websites such as Youtube and Soundcloud. The audio fixes as soon as I either increase or decrease the volume - it works perfectly after. At first, the sound is distorted, low volume and bad quality at whatever song I try to play. When I plug them into the laptop, everything is fine until I turn some music on. These are a decent pair of headphones with pretty good sound quality.

Yesterday I received my new headphones - Thermaltake Shock Black. Let me begin by telling you that I have both a laptop and a PC - I usually use the laptop which is a Dell Latitude D830.
