Maybe, you may need to result to a sound card.

not enough power delivered through onboard amp probably

Have you tried other earphones/headphones?

[gazabi]

You probably need an amp, full size headphones need a lot of power and normal ports can't supply that much.

I hope you don't go around spreading this message.  :wacko:

As you have already been advised. You need an amp. or a sound card.

The HD5x8 series needs a substantial amplifier to reach their full potential. I recommend a Schiit stack, if not a Lyr. The large impedance spike in the bass makes it so they have too many ohmagges to be properly driven by onboard audio. You'll likely get better bass, better highs, better mids, better soundstage, better imaging, better timbre, better musicality, better smoothness, better detail, better punch, better impact, better fluidity, better instrument separation, better depth, better blackness between the notes, better refinement, better crispness, better immersion, and better reproduction. You'll amazingly be able to hear things that you weren't able to hear before, it'll be like the musicians are in the fucking room with you.

 

Even better, the more money you spend, the better it gets because money and performance follow a direct, 1-to-1 relationship.

Earpods not having deafening loudness plugged to onboard is extremely strange. My earpods gives me headache (from loudness) even just being plugged to ipad3 on max volume. 

 

It's either software or hardware problem. Refer to the manual to make sure all the settings are correct. If it's actually hardware problem, then consider getting an additional device, like an amp or a dac/amp.

I'll just order something from Cavalli and call it a day.
