anyone got an ide of what to do?
tried to update the firmware on the stick but it failed and now the stick is dead.

Hi danblo88,
Do you want to try upgrading the firmware again?
I have found two threads with similar problems, maybe you can try the solutions other users tried. One user tried discharging the headset battery and it worked, the other tried to remove the battery in the headset and put it back and it worked.

Tactic 3d Rage Wireless Possible USB Transmitter Problem

Hi guys,
It is my 3rd rage wireless replacement (mini usb charging entrance were broken on the previous two).
So after unboxing it again, unfortunately I went to firmware page and upgraded the firmwares both usb transmitter and headphones. Nothing went wrong until I try to re pair the headphones with the usb transmitter.
Headphones are working with every buttons on it, it also gets into pairing mode (with fast blinking red lights). However the usb transmitter does nothing when I hold the connect button, it blinks normal instead of rapidly (as stated in the manual).
I tried everything and read many threads but could not find similar problem. I do not think that it is bricked but please help me if it is possible to fix this problem.
Yes it is ridiculous that a simple firmware upgrade is destroying such an expensive product. Shame on you creative!
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Xotli,
Do you encounter any error(s) during the firmware update of the headset and the USB transmitter?
Do not connect it to the USB hub. At any one time, the headset and USB transmitter cannot connect together during firmware update; only separate update is allowed.
Here's the instructions given for updating USB transmitter via Windows:
- Download the file onto your local hard disk.
- Ensure that your Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless Transmitter is connected to your computer.
- Ensure that the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless Headset is removed from your computer.
- Un-compress the downloaded file to a folder in your local hard disk.
- Double-click <SBTR_PCFW_US_TX_1_59_140721.exe> from the folder which stores the uncompressed files.
- Follow the instructions on the screen.
- After the installation of the firmware is completed, unplug and plug in your transmitter and start pairing with the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless headset again.

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless Firmware update fail

Hey guys,
As the title says, I have a bit of a problem. I just bought the Tactic3d Rage Wireless headset, and decided to update the firmware as I like to have the latest drivers when I get started on new hardware. So I update the transmitter while the headset was turned off. No problem.
Then when it came to the headset I removed the transmitter and plugged the headset directly to the computer and started the appropriate application. At the end of the upgrade it said it failed to load the system after the new drivers was installed or something similar, and now it's just there flashing blue all the time. It doesn't respond to anything, and if I try upgrading the firmware again it says it can't find the headset.
So I'm wondering A) Did I do something wrog here? and B) How do I fix it? Is there a way to restore the factory settings of the headset somehow?
Please help! Thank you in advance.

Want to buy a Tactic3d Rage Wireless transmitter

So, I've lost my transmitter for my headset(Yeah, i know). However, the creative support is basically charging me for a new headset when I want to buy a transmitter from them, so I thought I could check if anyone here had an old, used one for sale?

Hi Hannestheguy,
Hope you get to buy a transmitter for your Rage Wireless headset!
But in any case it doesnt work out, maybe you can purchase a cheaper set through alternative online sources? (EX: Amazon) I've posted a link below in case youre interested:

Of course this is only a last resort if you dont have the luxury of waiting for a seller.

Tactic 3D rage wireless volume change

I just bought a tactic 3D rage wireless headset, charged it up, installed the control panel and the firmware from the creative website, and it's working well. However every time I adjust the volume on the headset it bleeps, which is very annoying. How do I disable this?

Hello Zenna,
Welcome to the forum!
There is no way to disable the beep sound. When adjusting the volume with the rotary dial, you will get an audible beep tone as an indicator.

Soundblaster tactic3D rage wireless problems

Hello so today i got this new headset Soundblaster tactic3D rage wireless, and after charging for 8 hours i plugged the power cable out, and inserted the usb adapter.
Everything worked fine, the sound was good. i then decided to go and download the drivers etc.
Then i tryed to install the firmware update, and i got an error where it said that it failed.
After that, my headset was completely dead, its constantly glowing red, i cant pair it with the usb adaptar, and i have tryed everything. Cant turn the headset off at all.
I have lookd around these forums but didnt really find any good answers on how i could fix this.

apparently you need to get it replaced, as the failed firmware bricked it. Only answer I found out so far. That or maybe getting a kind soul with the previous firmware to give it to you might get it working again.

Strange problem with 2 different Soundblaster car

I have a very strange problem with these 2 cards First i had soundblaster li've value which was installed with the default windows drivers. Although it'swas installed correctly in device manager, i hear no sound and when i go to control panel->sounds and audio devices, under the volume tab there?was no audio device and everything?was greyed. But when i restart or shutdown the pc the windows sound suitable for this action played without problems. Media player couldn't play any sound, neither youtube. I downloaded and installed the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG). Everything worked ok but after a while i had the same problem. So i decided to buy a different sound card, the Li've Audigy SE. Installed, worked fine, but after a short period of time i have the same problem. Most of the times when i boot into Windows the sound is ok, after a while (5 minutes or hour) i hear no sound and in the control panel i see the no audio device message although in control panel the card appears to be installed correctly. Any ideas?

Yes, I agree.
But my question: is there any software trick that I could use to fix the situation.
For example, how can I ask 2 keyboards about each one's NumLock state ?
I know about getLockingKeyState() function, but it always returns the NumState of the regular keyboard. How can I know and/or change the NumLock state of the small one ?
Thanks

A strange problem with my wireless card

my box is lenovo ideapad y550, the wireless card is intel 5100. After i update to kernel 2.6.32, there is a strange problem occored.
i configure my wireless at /etc/rc.conf like this:
MODULES=(...... iwlagn ......)
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid xxxx key s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(wlan0)
DAEMONS=(......network......)
it works well at 2.6.31
but at 2.6.32, i find during the archlinux start, it tell me that "dhcpcd time out"
so i remove network from DAEMONS and just load the wireless card's driver module, then i configure my wireless at the bash.
meanwhile, i find another strange appearance
when i use:
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxx key s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
dhcpcd wlan0
it tell me "dhcpcd time out"
and then dhcpcd wlan0 again ,it works.
while i use:
iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxx key s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
it works well.
i just put iwconfig before ifconfig, it works~ 囧!
now i have to remove network from DAEMONS at /etc/rc.conf and put the commands in the /etc/rc.local
anyone have ideas?why?
thanx very much and sorry for my english. english is not my mother language. :-)

Notes on trying out netcfg:
- install netcfg: pacman -S netcfg
- set up a profile file in /etc/networks.d (copy a file from /etc/networks.d/examples and edit it)
- add the name of the profile file to NETWORKS=() in /etc/rc.conf
- add '@net-profiles' to DAEMONS=() in /etc/rc.conf (put it after 'network', prefixed with '@' so you don't have to wait for the network just to log in)
- remove the name of your interface that you want netcfg to set up from INTERFACES=() in /etc/rc.conf (so it doesn't try to set it up twice)
- also turn off whatever other network configuration daemon, like wicd, you might have been using.

Problems with Smart Wireless Headset Pro after upgrading my Xperia Sola to ICS

Just want to let the community, and Sony, know that since I "upgraded" my Xperia Sola to ICS, the Text to Speech on my Smart Wireless Headset Pro is not functioning. It used to work just fine when I had Gingerbread on my phone, but when I upgraded to ICS, the Text to Speech voice is not output on the headset, but on the phone, on the call speaker... Hope this bug gets fixed soon.
Maybe someone already knows of a solution?
Thanks in advance.

There is a new update available for the Smart Wireless headset pro, MW1 (0.1.C.0.3).
Which software version are you running your MW1 on?
If you don't have the latest I suggest that you use SUS to update your software.

Tactic3D Rage Wireless Constantly Turns Off while Charging

I got the Tactic3D Rage Wireless a couple of years ago and it has had many problems from the time I received it. I eventually got the others fixed, or mostly fixed, but this one has been annoying me increasingly in the past few months.
The headset not only rapidly connects and disconnects with Windows 8 (I think it is a problem with windows and not the headset for this one), but it also turns off the second I turn it on while charging. This makes the headset completely useless when I am charging it. This would not be as bad, but now the headset will not actually charge when it is on its charger. After it "charges" for a few hours, I take it off of the charger and I immediately begin to hear the beeping, notifying me that the headset is low on battery.
I finally made an account on these forums after a couple of days failing at searching for this problem with others so now I am posting this. Help is greatly needed for I don't want to be forced to spend more money on another headset if I can get this one fixed. Please reply with any questions I have not answered, and have a good day.

Hi Logo594
You may want to refer to this article, specifically the last paragraph of the article regarding charging.
http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...spx?sid=111092
You also mentioned that this headset is at least a couple of years old, so it is possible that the battery
does not hold its charge well. If this still does not work, You may contact Support here.

Tactic 3D Rage Wireless V2 connecting issues

"There is no supported audio device available" it says.
I've already done the initial 8 hours of charging and I've used them for 2 days of slight gaming before they ran out of power. Now that I was going to charge them via USB ports (Tried both 2.0 and 3.0 -USB ports) it just didn't respond to anything. No red blinking light, no nothing. And as I mentioned, it only says "There is no supported audio device available" which really pisses me off. I've reinstalled the one and only driver for my headset/operating system 3 times, which also pisses me off really good. So basicly, it worked the first time i charged it, not the second time. It's a brand new headset, got it last wednesday, which pisses me off the most.
Help out this pissed of guy would you?
Kind kind kind regards Alfons ( )

When I restart my computer with USB-charger being put, it says " keyboard: 2, mouse: 2, hubs 2..... shutting down in 15 seconds" and it shuts down as promised. I remove the USB-charger from the USB-port and it does the regular start up. I've tried every single USB-port (I've got 10 of them) and I am still pretty pissed of to be honest. I'll keep saying that until it gets solved, take no offence Creative Employees (unless you've developed this ga***ge).
EDIT: Not sure if it's entirely connected though. Playback Devices sounds setting says "No jack information available" when I look closer into the headset's properties in there.
Somewhat kind regards Me ( )
Hi Afhene,
There is no jack information available for the Tactic3D Rage Wireless. Please avoid charging the headset via a powered USB hub. Connect the headset direct to the computer's powered USB port.
Since your headset is now detected, you can launch the SB Tactic3D Control Panel and look for the battery level indicator of the headset after it has been paired to the USB wireless transmitter.
battery_indicator.jpg
I suspect that your headset is already fully charged when you did the initial battery charging of 8 hours. Hence, there is no response on the Power LED when you charge the headset for the 2nd time. During the battery charging, the Power LED will blink and stops blinking when it is fully charged.
Power LED (blinking) - charging
Power LED (off) - fully charged; power off state
Power LED (solid white) - fully charged, power on state
If you like to learn more about charging Tactic3D Rage Wireless, you may refer to this article:

You may opt for firmware update of the USB wireless transmitter & headset and observe situation can be improved. Please follow the instructions carefully.
