Corsair HS1 Popping Noises

[boodee]

Hi, I bought a HS1 headset less than a month ago. The headset functioned perfectly. However, after upgrading my computer's operating system from Windows XP x32 to Windows 7 x64, the headsets began to make popping noises for any piece of audio. I have tried changing numerous options but none of them can stop the noises. I have read on these forums that I might need to buy a PCI card for USB ports but I would like to try to avoid that.

What can I do to stop these popping noises?


I have also tried the headset on a Windows 7 x32 laptop but the popping noises don't happen on the headset which leads me to believe it's either a problem with my USB bandwidth (which I don't think is the problem since it worked fine when my computer was on Windows XP x32) or it's a problem with the x64 drivers.

Thanks.
