Trevor Cole Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Brand new headset has a constant humming / static noise from left side. Starts and stops exactly when the wifi dongle connects / disconnects. Have tried all posted solutions with no change. Retailer tells me no refunds no exchange.

Corsair Employee Corsair Blade Posted January 11, 2022 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi Trevor Cole, Please go to CONTROL PANEL / HARDWARE AND SOUND / POWER OPTIONS and then click on CHANGE PLAN SETTINGS (for your current default power plan). After that click on CHANGE ADVANCED POWER SETTINGS. When new window opens, scroll down the list a bit until you hit USB SETTINGS. Click little square with plus in it, and then click another little square with plus next to USB SELECTIVE SUSPEND SETTING. Check the state of it, and make sure it's set to DISABLED. See if that makes any difference. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonac2 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 same issue tried your fix. I have seen another suggestion that your internet WIFI signal is causing the issue, I find that that may well be the case as I do not get this issue when further away from my modem(down the hall) but the problem is severe when right next to my modem. the suggestion is to limit the range of frequency your modem transmits, but that is not something I can do comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Blade Posted January 13, 2022 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 13, 2022 If you have the option to switch to a 5GHz band instead of the 2.5Ghz, that will help a ton as well. All our wireless devices (and additionally, anything Bluetooth by any manufacturer) runs on the 2.4Ghz band, which unfortunately can result in congestion issues such as this.

Unfortunately, even after making sure the USB selective setting is DISABLED and switching all available devices to 5GHz the noise is still present. I am worried that there is a wire missing insulation or with a bad connection but do not want to open the headset and void warranty. Please let me know if there is something else I can try. I was tempted to upgrade to the HS80 but is it likely all of your wireless headsets have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chantz_allen Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Use USB 3.0 jack if you have one. Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
