HS1 USB on Win7 x64 - Microphone Issues

[Houtexjr]

I have a similar problem. I just exchanged some old corsair HS1s that didn't work for new ones. They worked the day I got them but now the microphone won't work. When I go into Control Panel > Sound then go to recording and select my Corsair mic to set levels, whenever the level is above 0 the green bar on the side that shows you how much sound is going through is at the max level even though I'm not talking nor are there any background noises. My friends say I sound like my mic is just being crumpled in paper or it will sound like a high pitched wine, yet they can't hear me.

The phone number is listed under CONTACT on the main web site, do you have the ability to call our tech support?

[Houtexjr]

Not at the moment but I will call them when I am able. Thanks.

Hey, I've been having this issue since day one.

I've had 3 of these headsets (USB version) and they have all done the same thing. The hissing sound is terrible. It works great on XP x64 but Windows 7 x64 is just ... damn near unusable. My first headset broke, not a big deal, I replaced it at the store where I bought it. The second had the same hissing sound the first had. I naturally figured this was possibly a hardware issue from a certain batch that the store received. I contacted Corsair support and spoke with Jamie (who it should be noted is AWESOME, she's been nothing but helpful).

I then RMA'd that set and got a new one. Its doing the same thing.

RAM GUY, if you need anything about my system then just let me know, ill either PM or post it here, just let me know.

I am sorry I cannot send or receive PM's except to other admins. It defeats the purpose of the forum.
Please post your case or RMA # and we can try to contact you or please call our tech support when you have access to another system to test the headsets.
You can get our main number listed under Contact on the main site our hours are 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM Pacific Time Monday through Friday excluding holidays.

In the corsair driver.
Click main
then at the right side
click the shifter
then there is a " + " and " - " sign.

I clicked the + for a couple of times to ajust it.

then my problem solved.

I am not sure whether this have further issues.

Hope this will help u guys.

ps: why the corsair driver doesnot have a mic booster itself?

Any update on this? It seems the issue just fell off the map without being resolved.

If you have a question about a Corsair product please start your own thread.

I'll take that as a no.

Almost 3 years later and I'm wondering if this ever got solved. I pulled out my HS1 headset to record some audio and am experiencing this same issue with the mic.
