• Corsair Vengeance 1500 Headset Audio Flipped
    2 replies, posted
Righty, so I got this headset, it's genuinely nice, comfortable to wear and the sound is pretty nice, not so much the surround sound however. It works well enough for me to know which direction sound is coming from but it's been giving me some other issues. It acts as if I am wearing the headset on back to front, so if someone is walking on my left, the sound emits from the right ear cup, if the are in front of me, it sounds like they are behind me, so I was there looking a right twat when I was running away from the main fights into the wilderness on Chivalry looking for opponents to kill. I usually have to go into the audio configuration for the headset and rotate the speakers to fix the audio problem [I]Configuration Panel[/I] [thumb]http://puu.sh/2lnbZ[/thumb] If I Alt+Tab out of a game sometimes the sound flips itself back to the "correct way", so after I've gone and rotated the speakers and I go back into my game, the sound is now back to front because that's what I set it to in the configuration panel. If I were to alt tab out again to fix the issue, sometimes upon going back in it flips the audio again, so I am stuck in this endless cycle of back to front audio. I don't particularly want to put the headset on back to front because that disables my use of the microphone that is attached to it, since it can only move in a 120 degree arc. So I've uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them but I still seem to be getting this issue, I'n not sure what the problem is, so any other advice on solving this problem would be helpful.
[QUOTE=Skidmarks;39989547][I]Configuration Panel[/I] [thumb]http://puu.sh/2lnbZ[/thumb] [/QUOTE] You should uninstall this headset control panel without actually uninstalling the sound drivers. That way, Windows will handle any settings related to the headset (which is usually much more reliable). If when you try to remove the control panel it removes the sound drivers as a whole, install the sound drivers through device manager and that usually circumvents any custom programs being installed (I had to do this with many wireless usb dongles that wanted to use their own network software)

I had looked around online before posting, the most I got out of that was uninstall any current drivers and reinstall them with the latest ones from the official website. Once again, thank you for your help.
