7OON Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hey all, I want to begin by saying I'm not a techie and have little knowledge of registries and the like. I've had my headset for about 6 months, worked fine throughout that time but suddenly the other week it stopped working. Usually when I plug it in there will be a couple of seconds of feedback and then it'll connect but this time it was just constant feed back. So logically I decided to uninstall the drivers and install the latest ones but no look, now there's no feedback at all and the majority of the time the device will not be recognised. When I can get it to be recognised it has the little error symbol next to it and when I mute the mic it flashes blue/red. Any help with this as I've reinstalled it a dozen times and it's beginning to annoy me. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Can you try the headset on another computer? Does it take a lot of attempts to get the headset recognised? When you get it recognised, Go to Device Manager, right click the headset>Properties and copy+paste the device status here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7OON Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Works fine on my friends laptop. Won't recognise it in the port I used to used however when I use a different port it gives me this "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Do you have the latest drivers for your computer? You can find these by going to your motherboard's manufacturer site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7OON Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Just updated the chipset and it still won't detect it, Laptop is fairly new (less than a year) and there doesn't seem to be much else to download for it that might effect this. Thanks for the help by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Have a look in your laptop's BIOS and see if there are any settings related to USB that can be changed. Refer to your user's manual for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7OON Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Just looked in my BIOS and there's nothing there that will help with this problem. Getting a bit annoyed with it now because it used to detect it sometimes but now it never does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 It sounds more like an OS issue than the headset as works fine on your friends laptop. What OS are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7OON Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Windows 7 ultimate, It was working fine though and there's no reason why it should have stopped working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therampard Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Try this mate: Reinstall Windows. Go to Device Manager - Search for Sound - High Definition Audio (or somthing like that) - Right Click - Uninstall that crap After, install drivers. Enjoy My mic stopped working, this fixed it. Also, if you have troubles watching Youtube videos via browser (sound so loud it blows your head off) ---> use Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the post, would reinstalling windows remove anything off my hard drive? If not how would I go about doing it? Sorry for being so knowledge-less.

therampard Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Maybe you can skip reinstalling windows, and try to uninstall every audio driver (corsair headset, other audio drivers) then restart windows and go to device manager - expand Sound - under it uninstall the High Definition Audio (or something like that) by right click and click on uninstall. Then install Corsair Headset Driver again. See if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
