Sound Blaster Wireless Rage Headset stopped working!

So, i have just tried installing/updating the firmware and after the wireless transmitter failed then succeeded to install its firmware i decided i would also install the firmware for the headset its self but it failed and now my head set's buttons don't working and nothing lights up.
Why there isn't a warning or any thread/support page showing how to solve this is beyond me as from looking on the forums many people have had this problem, if i don't get this solved i will be an even more disappointed customer and amazon will have it back.
Anyone have a solution?
I hope you understand the frustration as i paid

Sound Blaster SB0100 5.1 stopped work

My , most of the time I keep the sound
turned off so dont have any idea when it stopped working, it worked before without
issues any ideas what or where to start checking, I assume their is some sort of
process of elimination process I can use.
When I turn on and off the remote volume switch I can hear the amp power up
and shut off, everything is plugged in.
Speakers are Inspire 5. 5300
Thanks in advance

Try connecting a set of headphones to the back of the card, in the line output (disconnect the speakers from that output). That'll help determine if it's the soundcard that has stopped working, or the speakers.
Go into the Mixer (should be in the System Tray, bottom right hand corner) and make sure the main volume isn't muted. If you have a keyboard with media control on it, someone may have accidentally muted the volume by pressing a mute button on that keyboard.
Make sure the card is selected correctly in Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices. It should be set as the preferred device (for both playback and recording).

If anyone has any clue how to get windows 7 to read the mic from the sound card?

So out of the 22 people who looked at my post none of you know how to help me get my mic working, that's pretty cool

Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working. While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine. When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working. The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys. I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work. After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working. This will continue to occur at irregular intervals. Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur. Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.

The sound on my laptop has stopped working entirely, with and without headphones. What should I do?

The sound on my computer has stopped working. I have searched through countles google entries to try and figure out the problem but I can't find anything remotely useful. I never spilled any liquid or anything on my computer. I was just searching through youtube and when I clicked a video there was no sound. Then I checked iTunes and tried to play some music, still no sound. I played around with the preferences and volume control, still no sound. If you have any advice please help. Going to the apple store is so expensive and I don't have the time or money.

Did you try resetting PRAM and SMC?
Is there any red light visible in the headphone port?

Laser Jet M1217nfwMFP wireless and fax stopped working printer works with usb cord

I have an HP computer 64 bit version. The printer suddenly stopped working wireless, fax stopped working weeks ago. Printer does work with a usb cord. Turning it off (removing elec cord) on both computer and printer, didn't help. Nothing changed that was different to cause either problem.

Hi agueda
I see that your Laserjet M1217 wireless and fax stopped working but the usb connection does work.
I would restore the printers defaults to setup the wireless again.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, select network config, select restore defaults.
Then make sure the wireless radio is turned on.
Touch the setup button (wrench), network configuration, wireless menu, wireless radio-on.
Temporarily connect the usb cable from the printer to the computer and go to start, all programs, hp, laserjet m1217 and select wireless configuration and go through the wizard to reset up the wireless again.
or if your router has a wps button on it then you touch the wps wireless button on the printer and immediately touch the wps button on the router.
Printer should automatically connect to the wireless network.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to control panel,(win7) devices and printers then click add a printer, next, select network
highlight printer, next, message installing printer.
Should be able to print over wireless again.
Check fax connections.
Then run a fax test.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, service, run fax test.
You should have 4 passes.
Change these fax settings on the printer.

Is the mute button on the side of the phone switched on?
Also go to settings, scroll to the bottom and ensure that "Keyboard Clicks" is set to on. Make sure that the "Ringer and Alerts" volume is not set at zero in this menu.

Thinkvantage "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working

My new computer is a T400 running Windows 7 (lenovo disk installed after purchase) .
While it still connects to the internet through the Windows(?) "open network and sharing center the Thinkvantage Technologies "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working. It worked fine for a while (4-6 weeks).
Any ideas on how to get it started again?
Thanks
John

Thank you for your reply. I'm just not sure what "it" to uninstall or where to get the new "it" to download. Would you mind adding those details for me? I appreciate your help

Wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working - changed batteries still did not help

Hi
I have an Envy 20 all in one touchscreen with a wireless keyboard which has been absolutley fantastic until now. The wireless keyboard suddenly stopped working while composing an email. I replaced the batteries and checked them with a volt meter to ensure 1.5v. They are a name brand alkiline battery. I tried re-booting the computer and pressing the blue connect button under the keyboard. The only keys that seem to work are the volume up/down and mute; the rest of teh keyboard does not. Any idea? I like the factory keyboard so I am hoping it is not a faulty keyboard. After market keyboards will use a USB port.
Thanks
Thor

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound

Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound all the time when playing any sound on the headset.
Work OK on laptop and other PC in the home. Just not my PC lol. Motherboard: Zotac H55-ITX Wifi. CPU Intel i3.

Pauleley,
Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like an "interference" issue to me. Definitely not an issue with the headset as it is working perfectly fine on another machine. The transmitter operates in the 2.4Ghz frequency spectrum so you might want to check out what other devices runs on the same spectrum near to your computer (just a thought).

Sound Blaster Arena Gaming Headset: Microphone not working. Please help.

I am using Vista. I have used Creative Software AutoUpdate and all my drivers are up to date.
So I had the set for about month before tonight I plugged the detachable microphone into it. Its as if it doesn't exist. When I go to sound/recording It shows: Headset/SB Arena Headset/Working. It is set as default. But it doesn't specifically say microphone. Just the headset stuff. The line volume is at 00. But when I talk into it... Nothing.
A look at the Arena FAQs turned up this:
"Are there any indications that the microphone is working?
You should see an orange circle light at the Inline controls. If this orange light blinks, it indicates that the microphone is switched off."
Google searched for Inline controls and I'm still not sure what they are. I've never used a gaming headset before so the trick to this could be overly simple and I'm just not seeing it. Its really starting to tick me off though. Did I just get a brick set and now its to late to return?
I even tried uninstalling my mobo audio drivers. That didn't do anything. Tried using windows audio recorder. Nothing.
Please help me.

Hi,
Please download & reinstall this driver and see if helps. If it is still not working, please write to our Customer Support for further assistance.

Multiple cases in which the Sound Blaster Arena USB Headset breaks. . .

I bought the Complexity edition of the Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset. After using it for months the USB connector part of the headset breaks and falls apart. Feedback from here shows that this has happened to many other people (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826158084).
I want to know if can get this repaired as this is a defect. When i tried submitting an RMA it says that the serial isnt recognized but when i registered my product it works.

Hello Bunbotman990,
Please get in touch with customer support here if you have problems with the online RMA. I'm not sure but for issues like this, they may have to ask you to send in a pic of the defective part.
