Well, I already migrated to Win 10, and everything's functioning well now. So case's closed for me, at least for now.But i really think there's some compatibility issue with Win 7 that Corsair team should check. To check if Windows recognize the 7.1 headset: Right click on the sound icon on the bottom right taskbar and choose "Playback Device". Click on the VOID headset section and click the "Configure" or "Properties" and find the "Test" button. If it's 7.1, you should hear 8 consecutive sounds in your headset (left, right, middle, left, right, left, right, middle). If you only hear 2 of them (left, right) and the test stopped, then windows recognize your device as stereo (2.0 or 2.1 channel) I did this in Windows 10, but i think this function already exist in from W7.

Hi DerrHans, I think I have the same problem as yours. I got the device working after installing CUE following yuppicide method: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=152514 Which is same thing that what you've done. It's just that I then realized that although the device is working, it's not using the supposed driver..I assume? The lighting function works fine. The device does exactly like the preview in CUE. But the sound features are not. So, just like you, I don't have the surround function. Not just that, I'm quite sure the EQs don't function also. I don't notice any sound difference when I change between EQ presets. Do you experience this too? To make sure, try this: Modify one of the preset, 'Pure Direct' for example, by lowering the 3 most-left sliders (bass area) all the way down, while doing the opposite for the treble area, all the way up. Then while listening, change the preset to "Bass Boost". Do you notice any difference? Those two presets are extremely different, but In my case, I don't hear any difference. I do hear the feedbacks (the different beeping counts when preset change), but the sound is still the default, and is stereo. Changing OS is hardly a solution I think, afterall, between the 3, isn't that Win7 is already the most stable of all. And fyi, I did updated my Windows 7 (x64) I think this is software issue. Any update from Corsair?
