nottroyaikman Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hey guys, I just bought the new 2100 wireless headset I charged it up, downloaded the drivers from the website and whenever I listened to some music in winamp the audio sounded fine. However, whenever I tried to watch a movie (VLC or Potplayer) or play a game on steam the audio begins to crack and pop terribly. I have tried downloading the realtek HD audio drivers, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the corsair drivers. I am out of ideas, any help is appreciated. motherboard- GA-Z77X-UP5 TH CPU - Intel i5 3570k GPU - GTX 680 Sound card - ALC898 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Are you using the Dolby features? (Dolby Headphone and Prologic)? Have you tried turning it off? Does it stop the crackling sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottroyaikman Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 I tried turning it off and back on via the software and it didn't help. I decided to go ahead and send them back and get a replacement pair. Thanks for trying I truly appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicOnline Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Use a black USB2 port instead of the blue USB3 ports, the headset doesn't work correctly on USB3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
