GoruchyBuilder Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I just tried to start a new profile using the "Audio Visualizer" option and was greeted with the warning that I must use Corsair audio products as an input/output device to make it work. Is there no way to simply have it use the PC's audio bus to drive the signal? I do not have any Corsair audio products, didn't even know they made audio interfaces honestly. I've got a Focusrite audio interface and don't have any plans to change that at the moment, so I guess I'm out of luck for the jukebox effect? If so that's a little bit of a bummer as even Gigabyte RGB Fusion (which sucks in my opinion) allows you to use the music from the system bus to drive the lighting. Hopefully there's a way around the Corsair audio device restriction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal_Masher Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 There is software that allows you to interface the audio in like this one http://alex.krastev.org/users/profiles/1005/profile yes you will have to pay for it but it works very well, there is also this one https://www.project-aurora.com/ which will bring rgb effects from games that only works with certain brands etc razer to corsair and this one https://github.com/DarthAffe/KeyboardAudioVisualizer/releases which is a free audio visualizer which I haven't tried but seen reports it works.

shamus57 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I just wanted to confirm that "Corsair Audio Visualizer" doesn't work with a K95 keyboard. If it does, I don't know how to get it to work. All my corsair items work properly in 'individual' lighting layers mode and in 'lighting link' mode. However, when I turn off all RGB through ICUE, then try to make my keyboard light up using "Corsair Audio Visualizer" nothing happens. Here is a video of what I'm trying to do. Any help would be appreciated. [ame=https://youtu.be/QkUny1WDbYI]link to a video[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated. As I stated in a previous post the Audio Visualizer effect will not work without a Corsair headset. This is not a bug, this is not a broken feature. This is a feature that is only available with a Corsair headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus57 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Gotcha. One more dumb question (sorry): If I get a corsair headset, can I link ALL my corsair items (Memory (vengeance pro RGB); H100i acapellax; Commander Pro; K95 keyboard; and the new corsair headset) so they all react simultaneously to music (i.e. through lighting link / Audio Visualizer)? That would be the bomb. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Notepad Posted March 31, 2021 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 31, 2021 Based on the devices you listed they should all support the Audio Visualizer effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K702 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Based on the devices you listed they should all support the Audio Visualizer effect. Hello, Great topic, and I also have a dumb question ^^ I do understand that in order to "activate" the audio visualizer we need a Corsair Headset. But does the feature will be available with any model, no matters if this is a USB or a 3.5mm headset ? Or do we need to buy a specific type of headset? Thank you for your help ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help ;) As far I'm aware off it needs to be the usb as the app needs a digital connection to the corsair device in question for the audio visualizer to work as the 3.5mm headsets is analogue meaning no data transfer at all from/to the device so the audio visualizer will not work.

CaseyDwayne Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 $150+ for the keyboard and I can't use the visualizer without a Corsair headset... fantastic....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishgills Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Recently bought the K100 RGB and M65 RGB ULTRA and this is still an issue. I do not want to use a shitty Corsiar headset with the visualizer. I want to use my HS8 Monitors and Sub. This is unacceptable for having spent about $300 for a keyboard and mouse. Will probably use the SDK to make my own visualizer and then sell it for $15 dollars a pop.... oh wait RGBeat has already done that. So the best route without spending any more money is to use the SDK to write your own visualizer. If you don't mind spending more then purchase a third party visualizer such as RGBeat.
