Vengeance 2100 buzzing while charging

Sorry tohear that Jacob. Does it only happen when charging?

Under Sound option > Recording > Microphone > Listed, try unchecking "Listen to this device" and see if that makes a difference.

What if the mic is muted, do you still hear the buzzing noise? If not, then I wouldn't think that it's software issue, more like hardware or external. Try what Lutop suggested, use a properly grounded outlet or maybe use the headset on a different system and see if you get the same buzzing noise.

I got the same issue with my v. 2000, touching my case makes it silent but starts again as soon as i let go of it

My 2000 does the same thing, doesn't matter where or what I charge with, it is buzzing when charging and micboom is down, moving the boom up and in that way muting the mic it stops.
The thing is that the 2000 headset I had before this pair that was replaced due to one of the headphones cracked off did not have this issue.

If the buzzing is pretty consistent no matter what cable you use or what system you plug it into, then it would be best to get the headset replaced.

Sounds like a grounding issue. Get it replaced via Corsair RMA so you can get the V2100 headset.

I would get this replaced as well. Submit an RMA at Corsair.force.com

Get it replaced via Corsair RMA, that way you can get the V2100 as a replacement.

We are currently investigating this at the moment. Apparently we are seeing similar buzzing noise from the V2000 and V2100. Although, not wide spread, we are still seeing similar reports from time to time. I have a feeling that this is more like hardware issue rather than a software. But on the same note, I would't disregard software at this point until we have more indicative results. In the meantime, I have a beta software that might be worth a try and see if its going to alleviate the buzzing noise. Please see link

Please provide feedback if you can. Thanks

So a buzzing Vengeance 2000 due to grounding issues is accepted for RMA?
I stopped using my headset due to this so it sure would be awesome

Yes, we will be more than happy to get it replaced for you. Simply submit an RMA at Corsair.force.com

I tried these drivers but it didn't change anything, still the same buzzing when I charge with the micboom down.

If this is the case, I would recommend to submit an RMA request and let me know the ticket # once you have done so I can arrange an Failure analysis for the unit.

And this goes to V2000 and V2100 owners, If you are experience buzzing or hissing noise with your headset., please submit an RMA request at Corsair.force.com and let me know the ticket #. We are trying to get all the units that have this issue back here in HQ for evaluation. Thanks

I will do that.
The wierd thing is that it has done this since i got them, but lately the last 4 months or so even when i'm not charging and using my mic and get close to something as my monitor, keyboard, electrical wires och even my lipo batteries for my radiocontrolled car when there is current running through them the mic starts buzzing the same way.
I thought it was due to bad grounding at first but batteries shouldn't do that and I have tested the headphones at different houses to be sure but it does the same.

Thanks for that info Mac83. That is very useful info that I can pass on to our engineering team for them to use during failure analysis.

Hey, could you possibly take a look at ticket 6371323 for me?

The shipping costs seem to land at around 450 SEK, which means about half the price of a new headset. It can't possibly be worth the hassle to spend that much money only to get an (eventually) fixed unit back?

I got a 2000 back from my RMA, not 2100, and with the same damn issue..

Do you mind trying this version.

You have Windows 8 right? that's what it says in your ticket, just wanted to make sure.

Yeah 8.1 and the "good" software, and it's still buzzing when I'm charging while having the mic enabled.
But what happened to the 2100? I considered it being worth spending all this time/hassle of opening an RMA to in receive a newer model as replacement, not getting a just as bad unit. Was there some kind of miscommunication regarding the 2100 replacement unit?

Not sure what went wrong with the replacement. Let me work this out with our customer service and have another arrangement.

Did you have another arrangement yet?

Yes, I was able to arrange another shipment. Looks like it got delivered today. let me know if you got it. THanks

You already have a ticket # right? If you do, give it to me and I'll advise our customer service to set up another replacement.

Please submit an RMA request at Corsair.force.com and I'll make sure that we expedite a replacement for you right away. Thanks
