Have you guys tried a voltage regulator?
It could be dirty electricity. |

Hi. I just bought Roccat Kave today, and i can't use the desktop remote. Do i need to install the cd provided to use the remote? I tried to install the cd but the autorun cannot be played.
Somehow, when the mic mute button is pressed, the led at the mic did change from no led to blue led, and the power led is on, but other button cannot be played. Thanks. |

I tried restart the computer, and now the remote works.
But there is no vibration. I tried changing the eq on the remote, but nothing happens. Like when i adjust the front speaker to 0%, the headphone mute, and when i change it to 100%, the sound is max. But when i change the centre, rear, and subs, nothing happen. I tried opening two games simultaneously (ragnarok and cs), the result is: Cs can be muted when i adjust the front speaker to 0%, and ragnarok can be muted when i adjust the centre speaker to 0%. Changing rear and subs had no effect. Is my eq on computer wrong? I set it to 5.1 already. |

I have to set bass to +50/200hz in the console launcher and +15db for bass, with realtek onboard sound i have no vibration. i dont use eq. I must say the vibration thing is very nice to feel it in my ears. gl with that another thing, do you feel any kind of sound when you are not listening to music?i hear the sea shell effect, annoying noise, going to RMA and see what happens.

Nemesis, try out the settings in the previous few pages in this thread, especially if you are using Creative sound cards.
I had the no vibration problem in the beginning too, but now it works super. |

I really don't know much on how to set the setting, and i only use onboard sound cards.I had the no vibration problem in the beginning too, but now it works super. I think i didn't set my pc setting to 5.1 yet, because when i adjust the eq on the remote desktop, only changing front panel got changes. The other centre, rear and subs did't change my output sound. Any idea on how to change it to 5.1 system? Thanks. |

Ok, back to basic:
1. What brand is your onboard soundcard? 2. How many of the 3 3.5mm stereo jacks did you connect to the sound card? Remember, the Kave is very dependent on your sound card to perform optimally. It's not like other headphones that just plugs and play. And when testing, there is no need for you to run 2 games at the same time. |

Should be a Realtek sound card. Regardless of how bad the sound is, it should still be able to produce surround sound.
Can you test if the rear speakers are working? Connect the second and third 3.5mm jacks (Orange and Black) to the front channel output (Green) and see got sound or not. |

Yes got sound when connect the second and third 3.5mm jacks (Orange and Black) to the mobo channel output (Green). But no sound when connect the jack to their corresponding colour.Can you test if the rear speakers are working?
