Sad part is almost every corsair headset having this crackling/white noise sound thing. Permanent fix; use windows spatial sound aka windows sonic for headphones option. Or choose Movie Theater/Bass Boost from default equaliser settings. Or never install iCue and use headphone as stereo lol.
Higher sound > higher white noise. This is the exact reason of the issue. Not only corsair virtuoso tho, many corsair headphone products have this issue. (Already used Corsair Void Pro Rgb Wireless / Corsaid Void Elite / Corsair Virtuoso SE)
Well, i'm using this headset over 2 years and dude, you totally saved me from this annoying sound. I'm like using a new brand. Followed your instructions step by step and this annoying sound is gone.
Thank you,
