Corsair ST100 RGB Premium Headset Stand with 7.1 Surround Sound - 3.5mm and 2xUSB 3.0

Product Information

We test the Corsair ST100 RGB headset stand in this article, granted not something we'd typically review. However, the ST100 RGB headset stand is something different. See, in the past, we have tested so many headsets from Corsair, good stuff. But once you aren't using it, you dump it somewhere behind your monitor. often damaging the earpads over time and so on. Well, the new Corsair ST100 RGB headset stand does solve that issue and not just that. Now the following problem occurs when both the Void Elite USB and the ST100 are connected to the pc. Hey guys so I spent a bit of time trying to resolve this issue and I have finally run out of options.

I cue.hid_device_detector: "\\\\?\\hid#vid_1b1c&pid_0a34#7&1d49b690&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}" closed. I cue.hid_device_detector: "\\\\?\\hid#vid_1b1c&pid_0a32&mi_03#8&28fe0412&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}" closed. All have USB 2.0 except the ST100 which is connect to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-A 10G/s port for the sake of being able to serve the two USB 3.0 5G/s ports on the ST100 hub.

I cue.firmware.update.controller: "ST100RGB" FW update has been started. From "Primary FW: 0.02.91; Secondary FW: 0.02.91; Bootloader FW: 0.01" to "Secondary: Application: 0.4.106" The voice prompting and the corsair audio visualizer will work at first but then break and stop working for either after a reboot. Then i have to disconnect both the Void and ST100 , remove ghosted devices from windows device manager , reboot and reconnect both devices one by one and then both the visualizer and audio prompting work again. That is till the next reboot and then everything stops working again and i have to repeat all the steps again.

W cue.firmware.update.process.proto_n: "0" stderr: DD: tryOpen: Failed to open \\?\hid#vid_1b1c&pid_0a34#7&1d49b690&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}: 32 The ST100 should not take front stage in iCue over the void headset being used. Voice prompting and audio visualizer should not stop working. So I did some digging around and saw on a few threads to use USBDeview to see if I could see the ST100 there, and I could. However it appears the ST100 Headset appears as "Unknown." As shown here

Premium Build Quality

However, the biggest problem for me came with gaming. If I start a gaming session (say on Destiny or Overwatch), after about 15 minutes the ST100 just cuts out and starts reconnecting/disconnecting every 15 secs. Seems to be power draw related, as these games are graphically intensive. But I can't be sure. I've tried multiple USB ports, multiple USB 3.0 to micro cables, and multiple computers. All produce the same result. The Corsair ST100 RGB Premium Headset Stand also moonlights as a pretty capable sound card with 7.1 virtual surround support This product is problematic, and unfortunately...Corsair support just goes immediately to replacement rather than passing on our information to the experts. We'll just have to do the best we can here.

Only one of either ST100 or Void Elite USB connected gives no problems and everything works as should be expected.I cue.hid_device_detector: Add close task: "\\\\?\\hid#vid_1b1c&pid_0a34#7&1d49b690&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}" Keeping your headset on a stand can have benefits, as it will keep them from being accidentally damaged or warped due to sitting with awkward pressure on the earcups or supporting band, along with putting them on display to impress your audiophile friends. In a time when expensive wireless RGB gaming headsets and audiophile headphones are so commonplace on the desks of PC enthusiasts, the idea of an RGB headset stand with some very useful features doesn’t seem so far-fetched. I cue.firmware.index: "ST100RGB" firmware update, expected version: 0.4.106 update available, on device: bootloader: 0.1 firmware: 0.2.91

SO, i have following USB devices from corsair: K100, M65 Ultra, MM800, ST100, Void Elite USB, HX1000i. They are all using USB and i also have a Logitech webcam connected to it's own USB 3.0. PS: After disabling voice prompts for the ST100 in iCue and again dis/reconnecting devices with a ghosted device delete, the voice prompts seem to keep working now after reboots, but the Corsair audio visualizer still does not want to work when both ST100 and Void are connected so this needs to be fixed by giving the Void privilege over the ST100 in software for audio visualizer monitoring.I would at least expect that connecting Corsair headset to Corsair ST100 USB would work without a glitch but alas. The voice prompt switch in iCue device settings also does not work when both Void and ST100 are connected. I cue.firmware.update.controller: "ST100RGB" FW update has been failed. From "Primary FW: 0.02.91; Secondary FW: 0.02.91; Bootloader FW: 0.01" to "Secondary: Application: 0.4.106" Let’s take a closer look at the Corsair ST100 RGB Premium Gaming Headset Stand.
