Corsair Vengeance Headset Not working

[Axewaffle]

Hello, I have a Corsair Vengeance 2000 Headset, I have successfully set it up and have been using it for about a week- with that said I have all necessary drivers installed and understand how to connect the dongle to the headset etc.

 

However when I turned on my computer today the dongle was not flashing blue as it usually does but rather was solid blue (as if it were already connected to the headset) however I had not connected it. Additionally the headset is behaving like it is not connected, so I receive no sound, or ability to use my microphone.

 

I have tried all the base line fixes, like restarting computer, reinstalling drivers, unplugging the dongle, powering down the headset etc... Nothing is fixing it. Both the microphone and the speakers are being picked up in device manager but the dongle is just sitting there stubbornly on solid blue thinking its connected to something when it hasn't..

 

Just to clarify there has been no damage, no thunderstorms or any other external interference, its just been sitting on my desk minding its own business.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Try this and see if it helps

 

Under normal circumstances, you will never need to manually "pair" the Vengeance 2000 with the included wireless USB adapter ("dongle"). However, if the status indicator on the dongle does not stop blinking, you can try pairing the dongle and the headset.

 

Here's how to do it:

Turn the headset off by pressing the power button until the blue indicator light below the power button goes out.

Insert the wireless adapter into your PC's USB port.

With the end of an unfolded paper clip, press the recessed pairing button on the wireless adapter.

After about ten seconds, the indicator light on the wireless adapter will blink rapidly.

Press and hold the power button on the headset for about ten seconds, until the headset indicator light blinks rapidly.

The light on the wireless adapter will go solid blue, and the light on the headset will flash slowly (about two seconds between each flash)

The headset and wireless USB adapter are now paired.

If it doesn't, request an RMA and ask for a replacement wireless dongle for the headset.
