Dave3d Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hello (probably RAMGuy, hehe). I recieved my replacement Vengeance 2000 headset months and months ago.I am happy to say, that the cracking is not happening to them now (at least not yet). But, I started having 1 issue now:When the headset is first turned on, it turns on at full blast!This never happened in the months prior (3? 4?) since I have had the new replacement headset.They used to turn on at a low level, then I would turn them up to the desired level.Now, they start at full blast (I seriously have ringing in my ears because of it), and I have to lower them as quickly as possible. I have tried turning them off at a super low level, then turning them back on, but that doesnt work.I have tried setting the headsets sound levels through Hardware and Sound options to be low, but that doesnt work either. Any ideas on this problem, how to solve it? Win7 64. Thanks. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Is it the Windows volume changing to 100 when you turn on the headset or the headset volume doesn't change? Have you tried a different USB port for the dongle? Have you tried reinstalling the drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave3d Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 The headset volume doesnt change. I dont have the drivers installed (never have, never will). I have not tried another usb port though (although it is on the same port as it always has been, and the same as the previous headset was too.

Toasted Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If possible, can you try the headset on another computer? Does the headset volume change? It might be possible its a faulty dongle or headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave3d Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Will try that out. Thanks for the suggestion. If they still dont work, then I am going to have to ask for another rma. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave3d Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hmmmm Weird. Seems to be Skype related. If i turn skype on before the headset (starts with windows), it will do the loud thing. If I turn on the headset (skype set to manual launch), then start skype, it is ok. Or, in the last 3 days it just started working again for whatever reason.

Dave3d Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 SIGH. Nope, its back. Looks like I will need a replacement headset. Sigh. Again. Wonder if I can just get my money back, and I can use my Senheiser's from work, and buy a cheap mic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 As the headset has been replaced before, contact customer service via phone and tell them your replacement headset is faulty. They may (usually do) cover the shipping costs. Make sure you have your previous RMA # as it will be needed. You can call them using Skype by calling their toll-free number on their website.
