I use a DSS with steelseries headset adapter and it degrades the sound quality when used together. Using the dss alone everything sounds awesome, but when i use the adapter, bass goes crazy, the clarity sucks, and the more subtle sounds are lost. Anyone experience this too?
I use PC360s.
yes i have the exact same setup atm now... i got my steel series adapters 4 days ago... didnt use cuz i had my astro mixamp coming so i left my dss hooked up to my pc360's alone with just the regular 2.5 to 3.5 headphone adapter to xbox controller... not badd but couldnt control my chat volume
well used my astro mixamp pro 2013 yesterday and started to love it more than dss... went to play the xbox today and my astro mixamp has all white lights with no red rings around the buttons.. can't turn it off or on and my pc wont recognize it when i hook it up... i can hear people chat thats it.. so i think it died
soo i hooked my dss back up and decided to hook up the steel series adapter cuz i liked the chat control on the astro mixamp so figured i'd hook up the steel series and see how i liked the dss+steel series spectrum combo... well i dont... just like you said my bass was loud and crappy sounding.. even when i turned bass all the way down on dss it was still real bassy... and it didnt sound like surround sound, it sounded like regular stereo sound... i played 2 maps on cod with it and unhooked it and just plugged straight back into dss and it was 100x better again... i do not think the steel series spectrum is surround sound compatible wtih dss... it will work but i think it just plays watever headset you got plugged into it in stereo not surround... dunno why tho
is there any other in-line chat volume control compatible with dss and pc360 or any other pc headset?
i hope i can get my astro mixamp fixed or somethin i really did like it... theres just a lil hiss if u turn up ingame chat volume too high
