Corsair Vengeance 2000 Mic Issue?

[Mewstarz]

Hey everyone. I figured this would be the best place to ask for help on this issue. I just got the Corsair Vengeance 2000 headset and I'm loving it. However, for whatever reason, I can hear everything that goes into the microphone out the headset unless it is muted. No combination of lowering sound or mic volume fixes it and I also see no way to disable it. I have tried to go into the properties of the headset and change the levels to mute the mic and line in (I did this with my previous headset to fix the same issue), but I see no option to do this (perhaps because it is USB? Not sure.)

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it is extremely annoying to me to hear myself through the headset. Thanks everyone!

I have the same headset.  Under the control levels of the software there should be an option called Microphone Check.  uncheck the box and you should not hear yourself anymore.

It's been off :( I don't understand why it does this.

 

I should mention that it's not as if I'm in a call with myself. It's more of any breathing into the mic or talking I can hear, but nothing else. If I tap the mic I can hear that very loud and same with blowing into the mic.

Heres a link to somone with the same problem I belive.  I think that it might be a feature of the headset.  I can slightly hear myself with the mic, but only when I get very close to it.

Yep. According to Corsair's FAQ, the loopback is automatically enabled because it "helps you verify that your microphone is working, and helps keep you from speaking too loudly or too softly."

 

Thanks for the link, helped me discover they mentioned it in the FAQ. I really hope they give you the option to disable loopback as I personally find it very annoying. Someone else in that thread mentioned that if you straighten the mic and put it at the lowest possible level, it will help the loopback volume and make you sound clearer. I can verify that it does help the loopback sound much quieter, but definietly not make it unnoticable. Thanks for the help!

LOL. I was going to mention loopback but now that we got that figured it out. +1 for gaymen headsets
