Windows 7 Spark sounds from headset

[slipestream]

I have bought steelseries siberia V2 Frost blue edition and i have this spark sound problem. I dont know why its happening. It always happens when i stream or have alot of sound on at the same time, like skype+youtube+a game+etc etc. Its something wrong with the usb ports cause my other sibera headset( not frost blue) works fine and they got jack phones or whatever its called. and its not the headset cause i dont have this problem on my moms laptop. So its something wrong with my computer. Any help would be awesome, i have looked for a solution on the internet for months without any luck. ;(

It seems like you are experiencing a common issue with the SteelSeries Siberia V2 Frost Blue edition headset, specifically related to a spark sound problem when multiple sound sources are active. This issue might be related to USB power management settings, driver conflicts, or even a hardware issue with the USB port. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the spark sound issue: 1. Update USB Drivers: - Make sure your USB drivers are up to date. Sometimes outdated drivers can cause conflicts. You can update them through Device Manager on Windows. 2. USB Power Management: - Disable USB power management to ensure the USB ports provide continuous power to the headset. To do this: - Right-click on the Start menu, select Device Manager. - Expand the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section. - Right-click on each "USB Root Hub" and select Properties. - Go to the Power Management tab and uncheck the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." 3. Sound Settings: - Check your sound settings and make sure the appropriate output device is selected. Sometimes conflicting settings can cause audio issues. 4. Different USB Ports: - Try using different USB ports on your computer. Sometimes, certain ports can have issues while others work fine. 5. Disable Audio Enhancements: - In your sound settings, disable any audio enhancements that might be causing conflicts with the headset. 6. External Sound Card: - If the issue persists, consider using an external USB sound card. This can help by providing a separate audio interface for your headset. 7. Check for Interference: - Ensure there are no other electronic devices near your computer or headset that could be causing interference. 8. Test on Another Computer: - Test the headset on another computer to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with the headset itself or your computer. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be beneficial to contact SteelSeries support for further assistance or consider seeking help from a professional technician.
