deathstar Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hey y'all, I got myself a Corsair Void Pro USB headset today, I thought it would go nicely with my Strafe RGB keyboard. I was using a Plantronics headset before and a Logitech before that - I'm used to the volume of my headsets being rather loud (I usually have my system volume down at 10-20% which works out well), but this one seems extremely quiet in comparison. I have cranked up the system volume to 100% and all applications are also at 100%. Videos on Youtube are now at decent volume, but things like VOIP still sound a bit muffled. Also, there is a low static sound that plays alongside many other sounds now, including system notifications. I'm using the Corsair Utility Engine to play around with my keyboard's LEDs - I set a custom equalizer with all sliders on max just to get some additional volume out of it. Is this normal? I tried checking my Realtek Audio manager settings, but being a USB headset, it isn't picked up by that. e.: I tried every other USB port, both in front and at the back e2.: The static noise is still very persistent, but only plays when there is any sound playing at all - Games with background noise trigger this constantly. I switched to my old headset (which I'm running without its software btw) and everything is much crisper. Happy for any advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvDexter Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 For the static noise, go to Sounds > Playback > Headset Earphone > Properties > Levels > Headset Microphone (Set it to 0) Simple way: Go to Corsair Utility Engine and lower down the side tone till the end. This is the only way I know. If it doesn't work, sorry I am clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Mint Posted December 17, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 17, 2018 Like AvDexter mentioned, try lowering the sidetone down, maybe to 10% as a test. At higher levels, it'll have the microphone super sensitive and playback the noise it picks up directly into your headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
