anto543 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Corsair Vengeance 2000 issues. I've had my headphones for about 4 months now (second pair) and I've noticed recently there is loud crackling when I'm listening to something that is on low volume, I can't really explain it well, I'm going to try though. When I listen to music on my media player at 25-100% volume it's fine, it's probably drowning out the cracking noise, but when I'm listening to music on low volumes or a video on YouTube for example the audio is cracking/hissing. I've tried everything to try fix it. I've tried deleting drivers and reinstalling, using older versions of drivers, reinstalling Windows etc, nothing seems to fix it.

anto543 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 I was running windows 8 when I had the problem, I've installed windows 7 and I'm currently driverless, there is no crackling right now. My main OS is W8 and i'm using the drivers on there, is this a known problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto543 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 I uninstalled the drivers, restarted my computer, reinstalled the drivers and restarted again. Currently my computer isn't even detecting the headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Open Device Manager and expand the sound.... section. Do you see the V2000 listed there? Have you tried adjusting the equalizer settings e.g. less than zero? Does it help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Does the crackling noise only happen when viewing Youtube videos? Does it happen on another browser? Latest flash player? Is the headset set on 2.0 Stereo when playing the video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the headset set on 2.0 Stereo when playing the video? It's happening on everything, teamspeak, youtube, vlc media player, fullscreen games seem to be exempt. I always use 2.0 stereo and have the latest version of flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Does the issue happen on Windows 7 with the drivers installed? If not, it might the an a problem with the OS, programs or drivers and not the headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phreec Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Have you tried muting the Line In? Corsair has great hardware products but sadly their drivers are terrible and I'd advice everyone to stay away from products requiring them. Vengeance 1500's but they're not that different. http://i.imgur.com/iA2lE2z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
