CoreParadox Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I recently bought the new HS70 and if I have ICUE installed, I cannot adjust the audio quality in windows (locked at 2 channel, 16 bit, 16000hz (tape recorder quality)). Additionally, there is a hiss sound every time sound is channeled into the headset (especially notable with spoken words, such as voice chat or spoken word intros to songs. As soon as I uninstalled ICUE the audio quality of the headset becomes adjustable (Which allows MUCH better sound quality) and the hissing goes away, but obviously ICUE is useful to me for configuring my H100i v2 and using the equalizer profiles.

CoreParadox Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Looks like support for their brand new line of headset isn't Corsairs priority. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Nick Posted June 18, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 18, 2018 With iCUE or CUE running, do you hear a hissing sound with Surround Sound disabled? And is the volume wheel turned all the way up on the headset, and prioritizing volume adjustment through Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it with surround sound disabled, yes I've tried the volume wheel, and it gives the same results. I only adjust sound via windows anyhow.

Corsair Employee Corsair Mint Posted June 19, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 19, 2018 Put in a ticket so support can dig a little further with you, it seems like iCUE is introducing the static. http://support.corsair.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
