got my head buzzed for a while due to sudden boing boing sound in my left ear.I hope your ears are fine and nothing bad happened.
Btw, A great update, I disconnected the headset and plugged it to my phone. the headset seems to be perfectly fine

does that mean the sound card is gone? I will disconnect and reconnect it tomorrow and see. I have a Creative Sound Blaster Z. never liked it anyway due to the software. so seems the loss may have been reduced from 250 to 100 dollars

looks like creative definitely did not test it throughly as explained in this video.
