0ptimizer Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) I ran into a problem yesterday that I've been trying to fix. As soon as I turned on my PC to go to my classes I noticed that the mute light on my mic was on. When I pressed the button on my headset to unmute my mic, the voice feedback said 'Mic Feedback On/Off'. This kept happening and I was unable to physically unmute my mic. I then quit iCue and my mic unmuted itself, however, when I reopened iCue my mic went back to being muted and the same issue occurred. After this I'd like to think I tried everything: -Uninstalled and reinstalled Corsair HID -Uninstalled and reinstalled audio drivers -Uninstalled and reinstalled iCue *After uninstalling the drivers/software I restarted my PC each time What was odd was the mic was unmuted after I reinstalled iCue and I thought it was fixed, but I still didn't want to test my luck with the button on the headset itself. I wake up this morning to go to class and iCue starts up as normal and I see the red light on my mic and the button is still having the same issue. I'm fairly sure the mic feedback option is only supposed to occur when the button is held, but it is changing regardless of it being pressed/held. I am on iCue version 3.33.246. This is very agitating because if I want to use my microphone I need to quit iCue. If you need any more information let me know, thank you.

Corsair Employee Corsair Elito Posted September 11, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 11, 2020 Many similar issues on our Void Pro headset can be solved by doing a simple Soft-Reset. This will disconnect the battery from the void and then reconnect it. All you would need to do is: 1.Make sure your void is unplugged and off. 2.Hold the Mute button on the void headset down for about 15 seconds 3.After holding the Mute button, hold the Power button until the Void turns on. Then try testing the headset. If it is still having issues Contact Support @ https://help.corsair.com/hc/en-us They can help you with this issue.

Redhawk0805 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I'm having the same issue. It came right after updating to the newest version of iCUE. As OP mentioned, I have a wired headset. As such, I don't really know how to soft reset it, as it doesn't have a battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This issue seems to arise from iCue as other users have pointed in this thread and in my reddit post of the same title in r/Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0mas Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I do have the same problem, since I updated iCue to the newest version. The mic is permanently muted, and there's no way to unmute it (button or software) I do have a the wired version of the VOID rgb usb headset. Anyone else got the same issue?

pyrus Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) i am also having this issue. talked to friends on discord two days ago, updated yesterday and now unable to unmute my mic in any way. wired void pro USB. icue ver 3.33.246 Edited September 14, 2020 by pyrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad36 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Registered on these forums just to chime in: I got the same issue as y'all described. My Void USB headset is doing the same exact thing: permanently muted once ICUE starts up (can't unmute with the button on headset), will work once I close out ICUE. I'm running the 3.33.246 update as well and it worked perfectly before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashruov Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Having the exact same issue as mentioned above... stuck on mute, if i quit ICUE muting unmutting seems to work but not when ICUE is on, happens since the last update. thinking of uninstalling ICUE and getting an older version.

squidgything Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I had this same issue after starting my computer about 4 months of it sitting still. I had to update iCue and noticed my mic wouldn't come off of mute, only "mic feedback on/off". Well after 3 days of nonstop attempts, I did something a little simple that fixed it. Unplug your USB headphones. Close iCUE. Go to your Control Panel. Click on Programs. Click on Uninstall a Program. Right click on CORSAIR iCUE Software. Click Repair. Follow onscreen instructions. Plug headset back in. This worked for me out of all the tedious things I tried, hopefully this solves everyone else's issue :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loufly Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Jumping on the wagon, recently updated Corsair iCue and microphone is stuck on mute, unplugging the headset and repairing iCue did not solve the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Nick Posted September 14, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 14, 2020 Which version of iCUE are all of you running that are experiencing this issue? Also, which headset if not a Void Pro USB? Squidgything's suggestion is a good troubleshooting step. If this doesn't correct the issue, go ahead and reply back with your feedback.

yogsodoth Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Exact same issue. Void PRO USB. 3.33.246. Mute light stays on and microphone does not unmute when button is pressed (but mute status in iCUE changes). Tried the proposed solution, it worked until I had to restart, then mute button stopped working again.

Corsair Employee Corsair Nick Posted September 16, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 16, 2020 I've been relaying the information from you guys to our development team and they will be working to resolve this in an upcoming update to iCUE. In the mean time if you don't have access to an older version of iCUE, you can install download the last version through the link below: https://downloads.corsair.com/Files/CUE/iCUESetup_3.32.80_release.msi Please note you will have to uninstall the current version to roll back, so backup your profiles first before you start on this process.

ScotKitty Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 My issue appears to be strange, it works in some programs. But i.e. firefox it says the mic is on but no one can hear me. Also, now when I press the earpiece button it does not say mic on/off but something dealing with sidetone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annamiller Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The only things that helped me were: checking whether i allowed access to the microphone for my app, reinstall oder update my audio driver, checking and adjusting my audio settings via sound icon.. and if it still doesn't work: check for hardware issues, because it's very likely that the issue lies with your computer or the headsets.

AtomicJarl Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 In, I've been fighting this issue for about a week...

GooseTheSecond Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I made an account and came in here to also confirm that the latest version of iCUE 3.33.246 is causing my wired VOID PRO RGB to be permanently muted and the button does not do anything. Thank you Corsair, I'm sure you'll release a patch quickly. In the meantime, may I have the previous version of iCUE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
