Ok what I've found is that if you have an external drive. Unplug it. Problem solved. I will be returning the headset and getting a wired one (not corsair) it seems they haven't released any updates or firmware to resolve this issue.
Edit: I updated my bios as I read in another post, and so far I have not had any issues with the headset even with my external drive plugged in...
Edit: I'm still returning this thing for some variety of reasons one main reason is you cannot use it in usb mode (without the dongle) seems kinda cheesy to me since it's over $100 retail in some stores. The mic isn't loud enough, no mic boost or microphone gain option their reasoning behind not having a gain option sounds like an excuse to me. Also, when charging it doesn't shut off once the battery is done charging I've noticed that with several other products of yours including my harpoon mouse and k57 keyboard. I'm done buying corsair audio products. Get it together guys, stick to memory or something.
