Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Headset LED Trouble

I recently purchased this headset which i'm using on Windows 7. Each time I plug the headphones into my PC, the lights on the ear pieces turn on but after 10 minutes or so, the always switch off. I have to unplug and replug them back in so the lights turn back on. I've downloaded all the latest drivers for the headset but this problem always occurs. What can I do to fix it?

Hi,
Did you turn on the illumination standby timer?

Just discharge it and then charge it. Should work then, and never ever try those firmware updates they are the terrorists of these headsets

Vist Basic & XFI, random loss of sound and World of Warcraft Hardware enabling iss

Hello.. First off want to say that prior to reinstalling Vista last week, I had no had any issues with my XFI and Vista.. Since the re-install, while running World of Warcraft and Ventrillo, I get random loss of sound. And by that, specifically I mean, the sound shuts off, and I get a constant loud hiss noise that does not stop until a reboot is performed. If I just run WoW and no Ventrillo, I dont get the random problem and the sound runs fine. It is however a highly annoying issue that requires too many reboots in evening. Getting to the point of just trying the onboard sound, which I'd certainly rather not do.
Additionally there is an option in WoW that allows for Hardware enabling, which is supposed to improve performance. When I check this box and restart the game, the box is still not checked. Not sure if this is a CL problem, but something is wrong for sure! I'm using the latest drivers that are on creativelabs.com for my Vista 32 bit system. And again, didnt have these issues prior to the fresh re-install of Vista. Before that I had stepped up the drivers all the way from Vista. Thanks for any feedback on this.

Not sure why your sound is cutting out... but as for WoW, it needs ALchemy installed to run with hardware audio enabled under Vista. I dont believe its in the list of titles included with ALchemy just yet, but adding it manually with the default options works just fine. Without doing this I believe the new sound core used in WoW will automatically detect that it cannot do hardware audio and simply uncheck the box whenever you try, where-as before it would work but still give you Software rendered sound (only instead of WoWs audio engine doing it, it was Vistas - not exactly an improvement). Incidentally, this not only improves performance but vastly improves the sound quality - especially when excessive numbers of sounds are being played. (eg Mass AoE effects on larger numbers of mobs, such as two Warlocks Hellfiring along with a Hurricane and Consecration while pulling the Ballroom - 9 mobs per group - near Moroes in Karazhan) Its possible doing this may also correct your cut-out issue, but its possible it wont. Ive been running WoW alongside Vent for months now under Vista w/ALchemy and an X-Fi and never had such a problem, but then I do also run Vent off the onboard audio so I can use a small earpiece and have voices clearly audible through game sound.

Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Card Trouble With Windows Vi

Hi, yesterday I installed vista and had no sound, I then updated the drivers for my Sound Blaster X-FI XtremeGamer Card and then the card was detected. The card says the drivers are working and that everything is fine yet I hear no sound, I have messed around with the options unmuting things but nothing seems to work, any help would be great. Thanks, Auro

Hi, im not tryin to insult ur intelligence but have u checked to make sure the sound is not muted in windows? for some reason my pc mutes the sound randomly when i turn it on (yes im running Vista 64...). This confused the beejesus out of me until i realised what was happening. Now im lucky if my pc actually starts up because of crummy xfi drivers and the BSOD but thats another rant entirely.....

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.

Hello,?
My cat jumped off my?[url="http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/5789-6-sound-blaster-arena-surround-gaming-headset-broken#">computer[/url]?desk while I was wearing my?[url="http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/5789-6-sound-blaster-arena-surround-gaming-headset-broken#">headphones[/url]. 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.

Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Wireless

Hello forummembers,
I have my Tactic 3D Wireless for a couple of months and i really enjoy it, but now i have a problem
As soon as i want to charge it trough my Laptop (usb) it doesnt work anymore. I plug in the cable into the headphone and the power button stops blinking, but after +/- 3 sec it start blinking again and hear the 'empty battery' tone again. So i assume it isn't charging. Everything is plugged in corectly when this happens and i tried multiple usb ports in my laptop.
Somebody know whats going on?
Greetings,
Miles

Hi Miles,
Have you tried charging your headset with an external USB adapter?
For your reference, here are a few of our KB articles that you can browse through:

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.!

Why does my sound only come on sometimes when i get to the log in screen for World of Warcraft?

Product: HP Pavilion dv9628nr
Operating system: Vista
Error Message: (i dont know if it is an error message) "No Audio Output Device Installed"
All I did was play the latest content for World of Warcraft (Patch 4.3). I hit the mute button and it turned red. I hit "exit" and "exit now" after i was done playing and it took a long time to exit. After it was back to the very familiar screen with all the icons the sound was gone. The mute button was blue after a restart, then it started saying i didn't have a sound card when i tried looking for it. The next day i turn on my laptop and and the mute button is red when it's starting up. After it was done I unmute it and sound worked fine, but for a while. After that the sound only comes back on a few rare occasions when i get to the login screen of world of warcraft. Then after a while of walking around doing nothing, the sound is gone again, but the mixer is still there (the mixer disappears after i restart). It also doesn't let me successfully uninstall the sound driver. I restart and go to reinstall the driver on the website, but during the download it says that it's already installed and if i want to overwrite, when i hit "yes to all" the lap top beeps LOUDLY, and says the installation failed because it didn't find the device. What's going on?

The boot ROM is static unless Apple issues a firmware update. I just checked and they never released any such updates for the eMac. Without a firmware update available, I know of no way to overwrite the current version.
What did the serial number check show? Don;t post your serial number, just whether it fell within one of those ranges.
The logic board issue was specifically bad capacitors. Look at some of the pic posted here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/gdegagne/EMacCapacitorReplacement#
Open your RAM door on the case bottom and look inside. The third picture in the web site is the view with that door open. You can see only two of several possible bad caps through the RAM door but, if those two are leaking brown goo like those in the image, I think you will have found your problem.
I just realized you are in Tacoma. That makes the closing of the repair place I mentioned all the more sad, as your shipping costs to Eugene OR would be much less than for an eMac owner living several states away. Heck, you could have driven it to Eugene!
Really, I'm not in the habit of preaching 'gloom and doom' but, in your case, we need to deal with the logic board issue first to be able to provide you with worthwhile help should your computer not have the "bad cap" problem. If bad caps are the problem, there is not much we can offer other than to refer you to Google to search for self-repair instructions, or to Apple Customer Relations (1-800-767-2775) to consult regarding a Repair Extension Program that was apparently shut off too early.

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.

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.

No left audio. No serial. Sound Blaster Arena Surround usb Gaming Headset.

I have a Sound Blaster Arena Surround usb Gaming Headset and the left speaker no longer works.
I have tried the headset on multiple computers ranging from xp to vista to 7. some have different versions of the driver. On all the left audio is silent.
I would like to redeem my warranty because I bought the product on 08/04/10
But I no longer have the box or booklet that came with it and therefore can’t get the serial number for the device.
Is there anything you guys can do to help me?
The closest article I could find to this problem was here http://forums.creative.com/t5/Headphones-Headsets/Sound-Blaster-Arena-problem/m-p/558966#M2001. So it appears I must wait for an admin to help.

Thanks!
Very handy info.
I went to http://rma.creativelabs.com/OnlineRMA/EnterProduct and that section required I have a legit serial number.
Thanks!

Some sounds, sound like a robot in World of Warcraft

This has been going on for years, but figured if anyone else gets it. The sound of all your bags opening and closing, sometimes this can sound robot like. Depends on where you are. Other sounds like swimming in the canals I was getting the same issue. But its only with very specific stuff, combat and all that stuff is fine. I use all software sound now too, using DTS direct, but before DTS direct when I used to use the sound cards hardware I would get the same issue. I use to have an older receiver then switched to a new one and the problem didn't change. So its either the game or something in creative drivers. Since all I been using is SB for the last 5+ years.

Hi,
Are you hearing this only in World of Warcraft?
What about music and movies, are you hearing this too?
Try a different game, that should tell you if it's the game or something else.
