Hi.

Recently, my Corsair Void USB headphones simply stopped working and I was fiddling around doing some troubleshooting. Trying to start the service again revealed that there were three DLLs now missing. I checked my AV logs only to find nothing. I was stumped for a bit, but finally tracked it down...

Windows was being "helpful" again and removed "incompatible drivers/programs" in the last update on Patch Tuesday, which was the day the headphones stopped working. I went to the Corsair website and downloaded the newest driver and installed it. Now they work again.

I am waiting for the next round of Windows updates to knock those out. I hope not.
