Turtle Beach Elite Pro: Kunnen jullie de 3.5 mm jack reparen?

Thu, 31 May 2018 03:04:11 -0700

Het ijzere deel van de 3.5 mm jack is er af. En ik heb gelezen op internet dat je er een nieuwe 3.5 mm jack op kan zetten. Mijn vraag is als ik hem opstuur of jullie dat zouden kunnen doen? Ik heb zelf het gereedschap er niet voor.

SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless: PC not detecting my receiver through the given SteelSeries usb cord.

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:48:41 -0700

I have been using the headset for a while now and one day it just stopped working. I randomly got an alert that says, “The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it”. My headset will connect to the receiver but the receiver wont connect to my PC. I know the issue is not with my PC because I tried connecting through the receiver to my laptop and got the same problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Turtle Beach - Stealth Pro: My microphone stopped working

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:31:23 -0700

The issue is the microphone stops working. Prior to it stopping, it would work at half-mast. It is a design flaw. Apparently, the wires that connect to the microphone come loose. It is caused by moving the microphone boom up and down. I can't find anything on how to break it down to access the wiring. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma: Ear cushion replacements for Razor Kraken 7.1 Chroma

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 09:11:53 -0700

Does anyone know where to get earpads with the slip-on thing on the back? Most the listings for replacement earpads has the buckle/ locking mechanism, very frustrating since my depreciated chroma 7.1 ear cushions have the slip-on sleeve thing and I have not been able to find suitable replacements that have the right backside or even the correct size for my headphones. Images of my headset for reference:

Turtle Beach Ear Force XO Four: 3.5mm jack replacement wiring COLORS?

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:49:19 -0700

My headset has no sound coming out of either speaker, im going to attempt to change the 3.5mm jack.

I have a green wire, red wire, twisted green/red with gold copper and just a golden wire.

What do each of these wires do and which wire goes to which part on the new jack??

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: How to fix the volume wheel and buttons (Cloud ii Wireless)?

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 15:26:49 -0700

Currently my headset’s volume wheel still spins but does not register volume adjustments correctly: trying to turn volume down makes volume fluctuate and rise slowly instead and turning volume up is not a smooth action (not the hardware, but software). My headset’s power button is very “creaky” and does not feel like it will last. The former is not a serious issue since I have media keys but disappointing nonetheless and the later concern is something I feel will break down the road making the headset useless.

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: Can I fix the Headphone 3.5mm that only works in Certain positions

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:22:49 -0700

My Hyper X Cloud 2 Gaming Headset has a 3.5mm plug that only works when the cable is bent in a certain direction implying that the connection has come loose and can only make a connection in a certain direction. It is plugged into the included 7.1 surrond remote but I have confirmed this happens in multiple ports i.e my phone, computer, other phones etc. This creates a situation where 1 ear is always working and the second is flakey. To solve this I have been bending the cable a using a clip to keep it in the sweet spot as best as I can for the longest amount of time (It never holds). The "ideal spot" does change and requires a lot of playing because I guess the cable shifts around not sure.

The Fix:

The jack is covered in plastic as well as some anti-bend plastic design like layered rings, you know. The cable is also braided which could run into some interesting problems. Does anyone think it would be possible to cut open the plastic and resolder the connection to stop this from happening or not? These are just my backup since my main are RMA right now (whoops). Bottom line I don't really care if I have to cover it up with electrical tape if it works. I really want to try to repair if possible I have a good amount of electronic tools and knowledge but I am worried what I find won't be as simple as a little loose solder connection of some sort.

Thanks in advance iFixit Community you guys are the best!

Astro A40 TR Plus Mixamp M80: How can I fix the wire that connects to the M80 mixamp

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 08:02:38 -0700

The microphone and one of the speakers to my Astro A40 headset have stop functioning. If the wire attached to the M80 mixamp is angled and pushed just right, both components will start to work. I suspect that the wires enabling the speaker and mic to work have somehow loss connection due tugs on the cord. I think if the coppers wires were reconnected that the headset would start functioning normal again. I need information and a video on how to disassemble the M80 mixamp for the xbox one to expose these wires, but without harming the casing.

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen2 Max: Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Mic problems

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 11:39:00 -0700

Good Day community,

I was wondering if you had any tips on how to fix the Turtle Beach Stealth 600s. The mic flips forward fine, however it does not make the little beep signifying it is on. Even without the beep, flipping it forward will not activate the mic. I speak into it but no one can hear me. The headphones work fine in regards to hearing others though.

Logitech G533: Dongle creates speakers with G533's name

Whenever I plug in my dongle it creates a speaker and microphone within audio devices and nothing comes through the headset. Even G Hub doesn't recognize the headset as being on. The same thing happens if I connect the headset with the PC. I'm just really frustrated.

Logitech G430: G430's sound in & out

Hey, had my Logitech G430's for some time now, maybe 6 months. They've been serving me very well, but recently the sound went out in the left ear, and if I slightly move the cup a little bit it will come back, but it's definitely not manageable for gaming. Any possible fix for this? Thanks!
