Computer Locks Up When Using Corsair HS1 Headset

Hey all,



So I have had a Corsair HS1 Headset for probably around 2 years or so now, and yesterday I began experiencing an issue I had never seen before. My computer no longer seems to detect when the headset is unplugged and, upon failing to detect this, subsequently will not open programs and has to be hard-reset.



When I quit a game last night (Borderlands) and unplugged my headset, my computer wouldn’t detect that the headset was unplugged. The headset continues to show up under audio devices and is still set as the default device. Furthermore, upon doing this I can no longer open anything on my computer. I can close open windows, but I cannot open new ones. Task manager does not function (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), and Crtl+Alt+Del does nothing either. Though if you leave it long enough it goes to a black screen and give an error message saying ‘The logon process was unable to display security and logon options when Ctrl+Alt+Delete was pressed. If the operating system does not respond, press Esc or restart the computer by using the power switch.’



I have not had any other issues with this headset before this and I had not changed anything that I could see as causing this.



So far the things I have tried include:

Updating Drivers

Rolling Back Drivers (to the original manufacturer CD version)

Different USB Ports (Seemed to work once, but after an hour or so it froze again)



As far as I can tell this is caused by the computer not realizing that the headset has been unplugged, although sometimes if it is at the stage where it refuses to open programs the headset is still plugged in. This has baffled me for the better part of a day or so now, so I figured it was time to see if anyone else has any ideas.



Thanks,

AsteroidWalnut
