High Impedence Burnt Out My Soundcard?

So one channel on my laptop's soundcard has gotten faded volume levels with no bass.
I recently got a pair of KRK Rokit 8s but they are hardly the problem if functioning correctly no?
I also did start using my AKG K601 headphones a little which have a high impedence @ 120 Ohms. Could this be the amplifier killer?

Stanton Final Scratch 2

have had the stanton box, timecode records, and a zillion leads sitting in it's box for nearly 3 years. just got the correct firewire lead for it, *and* ditched trying to get the software that came with it to work. i don't like using illegal software, but in this case it was actually the only way to get it to work, since both stanton and native instruments stopped supporting the hardware in 2005 -the registration software is no longer supported??? and you can only purchase newer versions of the software that don't work with the hardware apparently. so, H2O crew FTW!

excitement overload as this box appears


GOODS!


YAY!


playtime!
gotta fix up my big PC box first tho..

update: installed new system fan and disabled on-board graphics. still givin me jip.

unpacked my new AKG 601s. incredibly comfortable so far, nice big cushions, circumaural design covers the ears well. con: lead is well embedded in there, no replacing it without major surgery if / when anything goes wrong.

finally get to properly test out my new ASUS XONAR Essence STX soundcard's headphone amp, the cans are 120ohm so had to adjust the card's setting accordingly. tested it on some youtube videos i know, can hear all sorts of new glitches and artifacts in the audio. tested on a flac version of Animosity & Drumcorps - Altered Beast EP, -FUCKING AWESOME!!! unbelievably crisp and clear, all kinds of new sub-bass going on, incredible sound separation AWESOME AWESOME FUCKING AWESOME ARGH MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING SO MUCH CLARITY! -eh, yea, i think i like these cans.

can't help but wonder what the AKG 701s i was originally planning on buying would be like. probly wasted on me tho, as i'm too used to shit audio systems and these are already blowing my fucking mind. may have to start getting/making more flacs instead of mp3s tho. a whole world has opened up in terms of audio quality -thought it would.

[update] i've been busy`. oxygen 61 gen3 is savage. nocturn is a little disappointing -shoddy physical build quality, knobs look like they're about to break, and software is not seamless either. the novation launchpad is still in it's box.
