I've posted a workaround here.

I think I've found a workaround. I have had this issue for ages, and gave up having the ST100 plugged in at all. it made my system unstable, crashed during critical game moments, watching videos, during work and all sorts. I incrementally made some tweaks I've now had it plugged in for a few days without an issue. Here are the steps I took to "stabilize" the device interacting with my PC on Windows 11: Go to Device Manager, go to properties of each USB Serial Bus controller device Hub in turn, and disable the power saving option Go to System -> Sound All sound devices -> ST100 -> Properties, select "Don't Allow" (i.e. disable this device from list of devices) Go to iCue -> ST100 -> Equalizer -> Mute mic (icon below the volume slider) Go to iCue -> ST100 -> Lighting Effects -> Remove them (i.e. the lights are no longer on) Doing the first three was not enough to fix the issue, which leads me to believe the issue is specific to either the lights, or the power consumed by running them. I've encountered this issue on multiple PCs, multiple versions of ST100 firmware, and run this device into a hub powered independently of my motherboard, so I imagine it's not a lack of supply. I should think it's either the driver or firmware. If you were attached to the lights, then this will be disappointing, but if you just wanted a physical stand that's also a USB hub like myself, then it's not as bad. I hadn't even considered the stand itself as an audio device, as I don't use that jack. So it was only when I carefully read the description of the Headphones device I noticed it represented the ST100 stand and not the Corsair USB headphones I tend to sit on it. To emphasize this issue / help Corsair recognize & prioritize a proper fix, here are some other examples in the community of people that have had this issue: There may be others.
