RODE NT-USB + Audio Technica ATH-AD700X problem (was working, now it is not)

[ihave400houses]

Hi,
Last week i bought a new microphone (Rode NTUSB) and headphones (Audio Technica ath-ad700x) and I had no problems until today. The way I have it setup is that my headphones are plugged into the microphones 3.5mm headphone jack.
It was working perfectly until i came home today and turned my computer on. It sounds heavily distorted and just not right. If I plug it straight into the speaker jack on the motherboard it works fine though.
I did a bit of searching and im not 100% sure I know what the problem is but it might be a conflicting USB device thing? Thats what one post i read said anyway. But the fix for that was unplug the device, reset, and then plug the device back in. Which did not work for me.
Anyone have this problem or know what it could be??
Thanks

You shouldn,t plug headphones into a microphone jack.

Yamitime. The microphone has a 3.5mm headphone jack on it.

What you mean is it has a jack on it not a headphone jack .The usually pink one is mic the green are usually headphones.

SOrry im not sure if your trolling or not, but the microphone has a jack on it to plug your headphones into it and the mic connects to the computer via USB.

I think it was me misunderstanding the info.
Have you re positioned which usb port the microphone was plugged into? This can affect audio devices .Usually they like the one it was setup in originally.

It was in the same USB port as when I first plugged it in. But once it started sounding wrong i tired another USB slot which did not fix it.

Is the purple light coming on ok?

 

[ihave400houses]

What purple light?

 

[Yamitime]

What purple light?

There,s a purple light in the microphone (in your instructions) it detects if there is enough power from the Usb .

Oh yeah, it looks blue to me because im a bit colour blind but looking hard at it i can see its purple. But yes it was on at the start when it was all working fine and its still on when its not working properly
