Minor Corsair HS1 Issues.

hmm, Im going to hijack this thread alittle.

sins I got My HS-1 (which i love) My computer have frozen up 2 times. it just stops and dont respond to any thing. I have to unplugg it to turn it off. I think it might be something with the driver.

you can see my system in my signature.

You'll probably get used to the fabric. I certainly find it much more comfortable than 'leatherette' pads, but keep an eye on the Corsair store for replacement pads. The fabric was actually chosen partly because it actually helped with the overall frequency response of the HS1. Believe it or not, the original design had a funky purple fabric (I had a model that used it), which actually sucked out a little of the mid-band.

As for the beeping noise, can you give me you system spec (motherboard and OS mainly) and I'll check it out.

Regarding the second question from The Mupp, I would say it's either that driver isn't installed correctly or perhaps there's some issue with your USB configuration? We didn't test on XP Server, though there shouldn't be a massive difference.

Try uninstalling and then reboot and re-install, but disable anti-virus first (then re-enable afterwards).

The tiny noises could be noise/interference on the USB power line, in which case I would suggest trying a different USB port, or maybe even using a decent external USB hub.

Try it and see...

it havent happend anymore so it consider it working fine atm. but I have noticed that the cord always coil up on it self ALOT by it self and its very anyoing. you guys might want to look in to that I can take a picture of it if needed.

I have a similar or maby it's the same issue, but I would describe the sound as a crackling(sprakande) if some one could traslate better please do so

It's a shame because the HS1 are the best headset I have ever had the plesure of using, utter perfection for a person with glasses

Try a powered USB hub, or changing USB ports. I'm glad you find the HS1 comfy while wearing glasses. The audio Product Manager wears glasses, and one of his "must have" features was that it would be comfortable for people wearing glasses (like him!).

I have the same problem actually. It was fine until i re-formated my computer. It worked fine before on Windows 7, and now I also use Windows 7. I've installed the drivers that could be found on the offical Corsair Forums, maybe I got another version on the CD Corsair sent. Anyhow, these crackling noises is driving me mad. I've lost the driver CD that came with the HS1 and I'm wondering if it's the same drivers on the CD as the ones you can find here:

The files on the website are the same as on the CD, so try reinstalling. Make sure you disable anti-virus for the install, and install in admin mode. If it worked fine before then it should work fine this time too!

Are the motherboard chipset driver files the same as you had installed previously?

Hello!

I also have some issues with my HS1. When using any USB port on the computer itself I always get the crackling sound sooner or later. I tried connecting the headset to my monitor USB hub, which removes the crackling sound, but after a while (10-15 minutes) the HS1 will start muting and unmuting itself (sound is muting, dunno about the mic) The muting only lasts for a few tenths of a second, but it is long enough to be annoying. When it is muting, the blue light on the volume control flickers on and off.

I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the headset, but it does not help. Only a reboot will help.

I haven't tried using a stand-alone powered USB hub, but I'm guessing the monitor hub counts as one.

Small update which might interest anyone with an ASUS mobo. I realized EPU-6 Engine was installed and I knew it fiddles with some power settings automatically, if you set it up that way. I never thought it would mess up the USBs though, because after I uninstalled it my HS1 started functioning much better.
