Hello,

I recently bought an external sound card, this one: https://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/cartes-son/carte-son-usb/f-1078202-auc0608819212517.html?idOffre=52685476#mpos=2

To which I connect my ROCCAT Syva headphones, the problem is that as I mentioned in my title, after a few seconds (about twenty), they start to heat up suddenly. I would like to know what causes this and if it is dangerous?

    Hello,

    I don't think a "USB sound card" for less than 2€ is worth much... I would have never bought that.

    Don't you have a sound card on your motherboard?

    Best regards,

      Hello,

      But when I plug them in, it creates interference and background noise... it's very unpleasant, so to solve the problem, I was advised to use a sound card...

        Ok, that's indeed a good idea. However, in my opinion, this sound card is unnecessary..

        Maybe we should buy a better quality card.

        For example, this sound card is really nice: https://www.amazon.fr/Audioquest-DAC-Audio-DragonFly-v1-2/dp/B00H00VLZQ

        There are many others available.

        Do you want an external sound card for sure?

        Hello,

        Well, not necessarily, but I have a tight budget (no more than thirty euros), so when I saw the price of certain sound cards, it put me off a bit.

        So I suggest you create a topic to look for a sound card because I'm not a "pro" when it comes to sound cards. Others will be much better than me.
