Broken Sound Blaster WoW headset

Well, I'm one of several it seems whom also have a broken earcup piece on my WoW headset, I've had no response from customer support in the 24 hours they said it would take to get in touch with me, and I would appreciate a response of some kind. Send me a private message or heck even email me directly, don't really care, just want to get this issue resolved, or alternati'vely I will never buy a product with the creative branding ever again.

Hi,
Sorry about that, the office is closed during the hoildays and weekends. Let me find out what's going on and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Can't install sound blaster wow headset driver for tap chat use

    ?I get an error I-00 when installing. I google it, this is the install.log file:?
    <div class="message-format"><div class="rplol">Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Headset]
    GUID={0429B343-D023-4524-89BC-0478E0D9E3C3}?
    Error=I-00 Bitmaps not found.
    So wtf do I do now? I can't figure out how to install it, and the keys bound to tapchat right now are left ctrl + delete (which basically does ctrl + alt + del for windows 7)?

    CIf you have winrar, winace, or 7-zip, or winzip on your system, right click the WOW driver executable you downloaded and extract it to a folder where you can easily find it. Once the file and its contents are unpacked, open that folder and run setup.exe.

  • How to Disable SVM Sound Blaster Arena headset?

    Hey all,
    I bought a Arena gaming headset today. and i am very impressed by the quality of the sound. but that SVM is just annoying me! How can i disable SVM i have look all over the Entertainment Console but ?I cant find it..
    I have looked on the web and on the creative forums i the only thing i can find is that you need a Creative sound card.. I dont hope this is the only solution. I my old SB Audigy 2 decided not to work ?anymore. so i really hope it isnt nessecery to have..
    Thanks in advance.
    -Rexel
    PS. I also posted this thread on the headset section as I didnt know in what section i needed to post it.

    I did have a Creative HS-1200 before this one. and I do think that SVM got enabled because the music fluctuede from loud to soft to loud again in some part of the music. And it is in every song i played so far.
    I am going to uninstall/sweep all creative drivers and programs and clean install the drivers from the CD that came with the headset. If that solves the problem, I will report it back
    Yours,

  • Creative Sound Blaster Arena Headset HS-1100 Windows 7 Volume Too Loud

    I have a strange problem with my Creative Arena Headset. The volume level of it is too high.
    To avoid hurting my ears, i have to set the master volume in the windows mixer to 4/00, this causes a problem when running other applications and adjusting volume. For instance, when running skype, the volume control within the application is literally either "off" or "on" and I can often here every bit of buzzing and background noise that I cant hear through my speakers seperately.
    Also, because the volume has to be set at 4/00, the feature in windows to automatically adjust volume levels of applications doesnt work, so I cannot use the feature of automatically lowering the volume of music when chatting online.
    This poses an annoying problem i have tried to resolve for a while now (ever since I have had this headset).
    I am running the latest drivers from your download site: XFHP_PCDRV_LB__0_000 on the Windows 7 operating system.
    I have also reinstalled the drivers and tried the headset on a different computer and it results in the same massi'vely loud volume.
    Is there any reason my headset is so loud? Is there anything I can do about it?

    @Dodgetimmy,
    Can you try reinstalling the headset using the driver from the installation cd? You might also want to try using the generic drivers by simply plugging the headset to the PC without installing the Creative drivers to see if it makes a difference.
    If it is still not working for you, Customer Support can be contacted using this email form.

  • Sound Blaster USB left ear died

    The left ear on my sound blaster USB headset just died today for no reason.
    I was listening to the headset, just fine...
    Took the headphones off for 3 seconds to talk to someone, put them back on, left ear was flickering on and off
    5 seconds later it was totally dead...
    Still is of course..
    I dont have serial number or warranty papers, nor the reciept for the headset but I have all the original boxing and packaging plus the disk it came with and installation information... Even the little california lead poisoning paper.
    I tried using support submit RMA request but that needs Serial #, tried using some other method and the site is broken.
    HELP ME. The headset is only 3 or 4 maybe 5 at most monthes old, still in warranty.

    Hi,
    I am not sure which headset you have but the serial number is usually listed on the back of the box as well as on the support leaflet. Please write to support using this form, do let us know if you still encounter difficulty writing to them.
    PS: If you still cannot find the serial number, just key in a random number and explain your situation to support in your email.

  • Sound Blaster Sigma config

    Hi all....
    I have a simple, and probably stupid, question.....
    I bought a Sound Blaster Sigma headset some days ago and still have a sound blaster X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.....
    To have the better 360° 3D audio, have I to use the X-Fi sound card or the USB sound card that comes with the headphones? Which is better (not only in terms of audio quality, but specifically for 3D gaming audio)?
    Hope that the X-Fi is good too......hope it's better also....
    Sorry for my english....
    Thx in advice for the answers....

    The following is the responses I have received from Creative customer support regarding the THX controller software NOT working (the controller software just hangs) with my X-fi Platinum. I am very confused by the contradicting responses help please!
    Detailed Problem Description:
    Ok I have installed the Alpha/Sigma software and the cotrol panel just hangs when it opens. I uninstalled, reinstalled in safe mode, restarted, ran update with the same results . . . WTF these are sold as high-eng! I have been in tech support, I am a Intel Product Dealer, and a MS System builder for years. Windows 7 prem 64, Creative SB X-FI Titanium . . . seems like the head set should work with this. Please help...
    Thank you for contacting Creative Technical Support.
    Are you connecting the headset thru the 3.5mm plug or USB connection?
    If using the USB headset connection, please note that you won't be able to use it with the X-fi Titanium soundcard.
    Please follow the steps carefully below when installing Sound Blaster Tactic3D Sigma in your Windows 7 computer.

    Thank you for answering,
    I can use the mini jacks but not the features I bought the headset for? The mini jack functioning of this headset seem no better than any $25 headset . . . and I have spent years plugged in in recording studios.
    So the features of this headset are not available if I am using your High-end soundcard?!?!?!?!? How is this possible?!?!?!? And why does the box not say this???? Now that I have spent hundreds of dollars on your soundcard and nearly another $100 on your headphones I am just out of luck!!!???
    I think this needs a website of its own. What am I to do with this useless waste of money at this point?
    So, please, tell me what I am to do?
    And please send me contact information for the marketing product leads for both of these products!
    Awaiting a reasonable answer,
    Thank you for writing to Creative Technical Support.
    Please note that when in USB connection, USB devices such as your SB Tactic3D Sigma Headset will create its own USB Audio Device and it will bypass the onboard sound card and the X-fi Titanium card.
    Make sure that the headset is properly detected in Device Manager and selected as the default playback and recording device.
    When using the mini-jack, please ensure that the X-fi Titanium card is selected as the default playback and recording device.

  • Sound Blaster Arena Headphones Problem - On and Off

    I have a problem with my Sound Blaster Arena Headset. Its been working perfectly until yesterday. It keeps turning on and off in the playback devices but it stays off unless I replug the USB or switch USB ports. Then shortly after it works again it turns off again. When it says "No audio output device installed" on the list of playback devices, there is a static noise coming out of the headphones like a beat of a pulse. I tried reinstalling numerous times and still no difference. I also tried plugging in the USB in the back of the computer, but with same results, the headset becomes "unplugged" again. Thanks for reading and please try to help.

    Yo, if you ever come back here(you last visited in March) We can probably help one another. The wires you are talking about are:
    red/blue = V+ or volume up
    red/green = MIC switch on/off
    green/copper = G (ground for the LED)
    FULL red = L or left earphone. I have this associated with tp7.
    I have no wires connected to my circuit board. I have been using trial an error to identify what goes where. However I have been given ONE godsend. When the wires were ripped from the circuit board the white sheathed wire left a little section on the circuit board identifying it as tp5.
    IF all you have is the four missing connections you could easily use trial n error. Touching the missing wires to each node.
    for the mic switch. Open up ventrilo and get it listening for the mic.
    process of elimination. Then you can do volume up. or get the led working by touching the ground to the nodes(possibly the easiest)
    I'm going back to the drawing board with the the red wire.

  • Any ISOs for Sound Blaster Arena CD?

    Hi, I got my Sound Blaster Arena headset last year when I started gaming. The drivers installed right away, so I didn't think I needed the CD. Recently, I've been reading on how to improve quality on the headset by installing some things that are on the CD, but now I can't find it. I think I might have thrown it out with the box (not that I have a CD-rom drive anyway).
    Can anyone tell me what programs would be on that CD that comes with the Sound Blaster Arena? Does anyone know if I can get the ISO or the programs from an external source?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    You can find the drivers in the download area but some of the applications aren't available for download. If you are looking for the installation cd, you might want to write to Customer Support to see how they can help you with this.

The result was the wires separating from the USB end. They are quite distinguishable and not impossible to solder. However knowing which wire corresponds to which solder point is beyond me. I contacted Creative. They will not help me. If anyone has a Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset and would be willing to open up the plastic housing on the USB end to tell me what goes where I would greatly appreciate it. Also the plastic housing will go back together. If any additional info is necessary, please inquire.

  • How does one enable Stereo Mix on the Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset

    I'm usually streaming games and I picked up this headset to replace my old gear.
    I've noticed in 32-bit XP Pro I do not have the option to enable stereo mix which was how i was able to stream game audio and commentary on.
    Does a work around exist to enable stereo mix or to otherwise transmit audio from both the input and playback sources?
    BTW I've also posted this on the Livestream forums to see if I can get a bite.

  • Problem: Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset

    Hello
    I have one of these Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset, which are 7..
    I have Windows 7 as OS on my computer and it gives me a few problems.
    W7 recognises the headset as a "Stereo" headset. The headset has a Sound Card of it's own and uses the drivers that come with the Installation CD for Surround settings that are mad in Audio Control Panel or Creative Entertainment Console.
    This is a problem.
    For example. Playing Call of Duty 5: World at War.
    The audio settings on this game, always (and is unchangeable) goes after the default Audio Device. And then it recognises my Headset. And puts in STEREO config. Since it was W7 recognises, and I cant change that on the game and neither on the Audio Settings on the computer. Which make the subwoffer and Surround effects useless which is a hard bummer, since it's such an awesome headset and is totally awesome when i play Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
    I really want to know how I can fix this! Please help me. Any settings or special config in the cfg files you can do on Call of Duty 5 or and settings or stuff I can do to change so W7 recognises my headset with the 7.!
