Ensure your source volume (Windows/Android) is set to 100%. Control the listening volume on your phone or PC’s master volume rather than boosting a weak digital signal, which introduces noise. 2. Harshness and Sibilance

Typically 1Vrms to 2Vrms, capable of driving headphones up to 150-300 ohms, though optimized for under 100 ohms.

Under the tab, check both boxes for Exclusive Mode ("Allow applications to take exclusive control...").

The following data represents the core technical capabilities of the CX31993 chipset found across various implementations: Specification Conexant CX31993 Resolution Up to 32-bit / 384kHz Dynamic Range Distortion (THD+N) Output Power ~65mW into 32Ω Output Voltage Practical "Fixes" & Improvements Android Volume Limit:

ensures the system automatically switches to the DAC upon plugging it in. Static/Hiss Prevention:

For years, the Cx31993 was "supported" by a generic driver that didn't handle its specific quirks well.

To force the CX31993 to accurately read your headphones' impedance and deliver the correct voltage: Disconnect the CX31993 dongle from your phone or PC.
