![]() ![]() ![]() I feel like they will bust if I forget to lower the sound and play some music or a random video. By default the headset is so loud, I can hear the Windows logon sound like I have normal desktop speakers. Installed the 2.0.7 drivers (not 1.1) because I think they're better than the old ones.Īs before the volume is really loud. They should have left a note about that, so can I assume that officially the v1.1 driver is the only supported driver at the moment for Win8? I'll have to try installing it with the compatibility workaround and see if that cures the sound volume issue. I just thought they omitted it and I grabbed it from the Vengeance 2000 page. ![]() So I'll have to keep the volume low, which works fine but doesn't give me much more than two stops of control before it starts Interesting that they had the 2.0.7 driver on the Vengeance 1500 page and pulled it. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of putting Windows 7 on my Gaming PC, it was a nice $30 upgrade to Win8 Pro from Vista so I have no Win7 license for it. In any case after upgrading to the 2.0.7 version, on the same Win7 laptop, it does sit in the systray and launch after install, plus there is no issue with the volume. Still however, the console utility doesn't run automatically after install and doesn't seem to sit in the systray, that could be normal behavior I don't know. Since I didn't know what to expect on Win8 I didn't realize it didn't install. Last night I attached my 1500s to my Win7 laptop, tried the v1.1 drivers, no issues with sound level or quality and I saw that my installation of v1.1 on Win8 was in fact halting abruptly because this time on Win7 it completed. When I check in the device properties it shows me 1.0.0. Incidentally, how do I verify that it's in fact using the v1.1 driver. I get the feeling that the initial settings are too high, it's driven to the point of clipping. Is that why you need to run the 1.1 install in compatibility mode? When I run the installation it shows all the files being installed, but when it's done I am not sure what happened. I didn't have any issue, at least that I know of installing the 1.1 driver but I didn't see a console until I grabbed the 2.0.7 download from the Vengeance 2000 page. It made me feel like I'd made a mistake in buying them over my old analog set which were okay, I just wanted the surround for a better experience. ![]() I love corsair products but I nearly returned my 1500s because when I first connected them and tried them with a game the shotgun sounded like someone blowing a raspberry. I have the same issue, I have to keep the volume way way down. ![]()
