I bought today the vengeance 1500 headset but when i try to install the drivers my whole OS freezes and i have to shutdown by force. I have Windows 8.1 ... What can i do to solve this problem?

 

Thanks.

Do you have the latest drivers installed for your devices?

Latest BIOS?

Have you tried a different USB port?

 

Yes i have all the drivers installed and the latest BIOS too.

About the USB its not relevant because you have to install the drivers without the headset connected, so the OS freezes without the headset.

 

What can i do?

Have you tried turning off SmartScreen and temporarily disabling anti-virus protection?

Have you tried installing it in another Windows admin account?

 

I just have turned off the Smartscreen and i finally could install the drivers, thanks.

But now with this drivers i have a buzzing noise very annoying... Even in game or with music i can hear the buzz in the background. What can i do?

Was the buzzing noise ever there before you installed the Corsair drivers?

Mute your microphone, does it do anything?

 

No never ... Before the drivers i have never heard the buzzing.

I have muted already, no change.

Close every program that is playing a sound. E.g. a media player, browser, etc.

 

Does the buzzing noise stop?

 

Not really ... When i start the computer, it looks okay, no buzzing. But a few minutes after the buzzing starts and its very annoying.

Also, in game the sound is not good, the voices are very low and the general quality it horrible with much "scratches" on the sound.

 

Not really impressed so far :(

I suppose that i must come back to the windows 7 to have the best of this headset.

I just got my pair of vengeance 1500 and had the same problem. I had the same problem when i was installing the software for my logitech mouse aswell.

I had to turn the computer off and unplug the CD/DVD drive and they install them and they didn't freeze.
