wallywalrus_ Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hi all, hope this is the right forum to post in. Got a problem with my second pair of 1500's. My audio is cutting out in game (source games), and won't turn back on unless I use the console command "snd_restart" My sound works for a random period of time. It doesn't matter what keys I press, what character I play as, my sound will, at any period of time, cut off. It's important to note, it cuts off after a split second of lag. It will not turn back on unless I use "snd_restart". The console repeats the string, "Couldn't get sound buffer status". After entering snd_restart, sound works, but it will cut out again. It's a never ending loop. This is a problem with my Corsair headphones. I own a pair of ATH-m40s, and they work, audio doesn't cut out. After doing countless searches and asking multiple people I have received some suggestions that unfortunately, do not work. I have been suggested to: Reinstall my games Update Corsair Vengeance Audio Software Reinstall Corsair Vengeance Audio Software Unplug USB cable and plug into a different port Plug cable into USB 3.0 port This is driving me up the wall and has been happening for around six days now. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Try the headset on another computer. Does the audio still cut out during a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Just to confirm, on a different computer it does not cut out even when playing source games? Latest BIOS, chipset drivers and Windows updates? Have you tried adjusting the in-game audio settings? e.g. trying different speaker source 7.1 to 5.1 to 2.0 etc. Have you tried it without the Corsair audio drivers installed?

wallywalrus_ Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Hi I have plugged it into my laptop, with the same drivers installed and I played the same game. It works on there. All my drivers are up to date, and I have fiddled with the in-game audio settings. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Do you have any other audio devices connected to the PC? If so, disconnect them or disable it in Windows and see if that helps. Latest BIOS and chipset drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make sense to me why though. I uninstalled live update from my computer 8 months ago, and didn't update any bios in the meantime.

Toasted Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Glad to hear its working fine now. Sounds like MSI has resolved an issue probably related to USB audio devices or similar via a BIOS update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
