Hello,
Having issues when I'm watching youtube typically. I get random audio cuts or crackling. I've tried a different headset and I don't seem to get this issue so it's either a settings or hardware issue.
Symptom
Any video I watch on Youtube or Netflix or (very rarely) while in a game, I get crackling and audio cuts for a few seconds. This'll happen again a few seconds later and typically repeats the issue 4-5 times then it'll work fine for about 30 minutes.
Solution Attempts
Moving the wireless dongle from a direct motherboard connection to a USB hub connection incase there is interferance. Moving the USB Dongle to the front USB port Uninstalling Audio and Virtuoso drivers from device manager and restarting PC Ensuring iCUE is up to date and that headset and dongle are running the latest firmware Windows is fully updated Ensuring headset is fully charged Using the headset while plugged in via USB Ensuring that the headset is using 2 channel, 24-bit, 4800hz (Studio Quality) rate in Advanced Sound Settings. Unchecked the Exclusive mode options from Advanced Sound Settings.
Any other solutions to try would be welcomed as I really love this headset and would rather exsaust as many options as possible to try fix before asking for a replacement.
