Corsair HS40 Problems

[Wiplive]

Hello, recently I bought a nice gaming headset Corsair HS40 for 40€. It works ok but I have few problems with it. 

 

First of all, the volume is way too loud. I'm currently listening on 1 from 100 and I still have to bring down volume in the program I'm listening from. I was wondering if there's a way to decrease the over volume? I've tried using the built in equalizer in Windows settings but it doesn't seem to work.

 

Secondly, how do I get the software to work on Windows 10? I've downloaded the drivers but they don't work on Windows 10. Am I missing out on a lot without the Corsair software? Like 7.1 surround?

 

Thirdly, is there any way to activate the noise cancellation on the microphone which is built in? It seems to pick up my PC sound even though I can *barely* hear it.

 

And lastly, how can I easily switch between Analog 3.5mm speakers and my USB headset? It's taking way too long to go to Volume settings > Playback devices and set them default accordingly.

 

Thanks in advance!

The thing is, there are no such option. I am running driverless because there are no Corsair HS40 headphone drivers available for Windows 10. Where else can I look to enable it?

You were in my situation. What would you do? I'm using the drivers Windows installed for me, some generic audio ones.

Get a different headset.

 

As for the last problem in your OP, there are software goodies to help -> Audio Switcher

Then you should still be able to return or exchange it. 

 

I know this isn't a practical solution, and you probably don't want to hear it, but the simple fact is that the software is a part of the product you purchased and it does not work with your computer.

How can I return it in Latvia? I bought from internet shop 400 km away from me, you can't return anything, only if it's broken. But it really isn't, it works fine, it just probably would be better with drivers.

i do, to fix the problem you need driver but the driver isnt Win10 compatible so you have no solution except downgrading the Windows

I did not realize returning it would be such a hassle. I am sorry.
