Vengeance 2000 and dx9 directInput issue

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I have recently bought the vengeance 2000 headset. However it makes different games crash. After investigation, the problem is related to some dx9 directInput incompatibility.

 

When I launch DxDiag, dxdiag report an access problem to directInput. The error report is :

AppName: dxdiag.exe AppVer: 5.3.2600.5512 ModName: dinput8.dll

ModVer: 5.3.2600.5512 Offset: 00016324

 

Some extract of the DxDiag report:

When I remove the vengeance USB connector, everything works fine. When I disable the realtek sound card, the problem remain.

 

NB my drivers, dx9 ... are up to date

 

with this issue, the headset is useless. So any ideas ?

 

Thx for your help.

I have installed the Vengeance2000SW_1_7_051512.exe, so I think I use the Corsair Driver when I plugged the vengeance USB Connector. It crashs with the Vengeance2000SW_1_7_051512.exe installed.

 

I have uninstalled it, so I am using the windows driver, but it crashs also

My significant other is having the same issue on her machine (PC specs are hers). Borderlands 2 crashes on calls to DirectInputCreate() when she tries to load the game with the Vengeance 2000 plugged in. Works fine otherwise, including with a different headset (cheapo Logitech unit). She's running the 1.7 drivers.

 

We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Corsair drivers, "repairing" DirectX by running both the consumer and developer redistributables, uninstalling vendor drivers for various other USB devices (webcams, keyboards, etc.) and removing those devices where practical, disabling system audio devices (both the SoundMAX audio on the mobo and the HD audio devices on the vid card), and uninstalling and re-installing the game itself.

 

You can sort of bypass the issue by plugging the Vengeance 2000 in *after* you launch the game. Mic will work and you'll be able to hear all voice communication (in a normal Steam voice chat when we tested), but all the actual audio output from the game is dead, presumably being routed to whatever device the engine latched onto instead of the Vengeance when it loaded up.

 

Any help (aside from "Get off Windows XP," heh) would be greatly appreciated!

 

Edit: One piece of debug info I forgot: dxdiag crashes when the Vengeance is plugged in with the same sort of DirectInput errors. Pull the headset and it runs fine.

We have seen issues with the Vengeance 2000 not working with many games, especially ones on Steam for Windows XP. One of the reasons why I asked the original poster whether the Windows drivers were being used or if it was our drivers is that if the Microsoft drivers crashed too, then there is a conflict with the the OS and our headset when gaming. Due to the cease of support on XP though, it would be difficult to work with Microsoft to get this resolved. So I apologize to anyone experiencing the dreaded issue but unfortunately, at this time we have no fix for this beyond suggesting an upgrade to a newer OS like Windows 7.

Hey RAM GUY,

 

I had stopped following this thread, sorry, but yes, if you still want them, I have all of the Borderlands 2 minidumps from my misadventures. There are north of 20 of them. You can have any or all of them, just let me know where to send 'em.

Hey RAM GUY,

 

Think you had a copy/paste issue there when telling me where to send them, but I just discovered the attachment feature is actually enabled on this forum, so I'll just upload them here.

 

Just a note: I went ahead and updated the problem machine to Win7 over the weekend, so the BL2 dumps that I saved before that are all that I'm going to be able to give you, data-wise.

 

Hope it helps!

I have recently purchased the vengeance 2000 wireless headset... I have windows XP SP3 and I am having this problem...

 

When dxdiag crashes, it registers the following in the event viewer... Thanks in advance:

 

Faulting application dxdiag.exe, version 5.3.2600.5512, faulting module dinput8.dll, version 5.3.2600.5512, fault address 0x00016324.
