![]() ![]() I have already deleted and reinstalled all traces of this headset's software (minus the firmware, obviously). ![]() I was wondering if anyone else had this issue as I did, or if anyone had any suggestions at all as to what I should do. I assume this is an issue with Windows 10, so I checked their website for new drivers for Windows 10 - they plan to release the new drivers this month - and I just can't wait on that. This was on the old software, so I tried it on the new one, same result. I clicked the upgrade button, and the software crashed. The sound was gone too, so I ran the firmware software - that was always enough to make the lights turn on, so they turned on - but to make the sound turn on, you had to actually click the upgrade and go through with it. I rebooted the PC like you do with the FW trick, and then I noticed the lights didn't come on again - like they always did before. I installed a new graphics card today, it still worked. I had upgraded to Windows 10 on the day it came out, and there were no issues - I used the firmware trick, whatever, fine. Today, the firmware trick stopped working, as well as the firmware installers - all of them. I figured it wasn't all that bad, I mean it was just a few clicks and a restart - so I just dealt with it until today. and the exact same issue started happening again, and I had to do the firmware trick again, every day. So, I contacted Creative and sent them back the headset, I figured I had gotten a faulty one, and they sent me back a refurbished one - with scratches galore everywhere on the headset.īut, I digress, it worked perfectly like new - until a month passed. I was having to redo this firmware business every single day just to get the thing to turn on and work, this went on for a good few months. Until the next day, and the next, and the next, etc. I downloaded an older firmware, installed it, downloaded the newest one, installed it, restarting the pc - and it worked fine after that. I looked online, found a solution that worked for me on this website. After about 2 months of normal use, the actual sound card/sound blaster just stopped powering on whenever the PC was turned on. I've had issues pretty consistently with this device since purchasing it in December last year.
