R3IDx Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Today my headset randomly decided to brick itself. It was connected via wireless mode with the dongle but couldn't mute the mic, switch to wired, also had no overall "control" to say over the headset. I did a shutdown by holding the mic mute button down and that seemed to fix half the issues. So now I am able to use the headset completely fine but ONLY in wired mode. When I go to icue to pair the dongle shows up but nothing ever happens after I click pair. I've tried downloading old icue firmware and then the dongle doesn't even show in the software. My buddy had a similar issue with his Virtuoso and downloading an older firmware and forcing it to update it solved his issues. However, I can not find a download for any older or even the latest dongle firmware. TLDR: Headset bricked, fixed, dongle still bricked. Need latest or older dongle firmware to try a force update. I have the non special edition, carbon corsair virtuoso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees Corsair Albert Posted December 20, 2021 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hi all, I've messaged everyone here regarding this issue. For users who encounter this thread in the future: If you are encountering the issue of only your VIRTUOSO/dongle being on firmware 5.x.xx, but not its companion (ex. VIRTUOSO receiver is on 5.5.102, VIRTUOSO headset is on 0.17.149), PLEASE create a ticket HERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NachoPuebla00 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 PART NUMBER: CA-9011180 My Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE were working perfect since i bought them. I got them on June 2021 new and I haven,t got a problem never. I,m from Spain. But since yesterday started to not work wirelessly and just wired without explanation. My dongle flashes red and then stays white for long until it turns off I tried to restart them and by turning them ON/OFF they work for few seconds but the headsets turns off again and the dongle keeps connected for a while until it turns off as well I dont understand why happens this, i supposed that it,s because some firmware issue Because my firmware version on the dongle is previous of the headset version My ICUE Version: 4.18.209 My Headset version: 0.17.149 My dongle version: 0.16.80 I hope you will bring me the firmware versions, older or whatever it needs to put it on both of them to get them working As i get for sure it`s because of this that doesn,t work as they have never been damaged. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmx Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Hello, my headset has firmware v.0.17.149 and my dongle is v.0.16.80. Is there anyway I can get the dongle firmware update? Since iCUE 4 I've had problems with my headset. They were crystal clear and now theres a subtle static that becomes more noticeable with people talking. Hoping a firmware update can help. I see others on 5.x.x and I don't even have 1.x.x 😞 Edited December 21, 2021 by Sturmx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suryà279 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi, my part number is CA-9011186. I've had two different virtuosos and the same problem happened when I updated a firmware. The dongle firmware version is 5.5.102 and the Virtuoso's is 0.17.149. I'm not sure which the previous version is, but I downloaded iCUE again in early December if that helps. I'd really appreciate some help. Thank you for the info and help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
