Microphone volume control

Users reported issues with the Cloud 2 gaming headset, they were unable to adjust the audio level. The solution is pretty simple:

• Check the USB key. It comes with a gaming headset.

• Check if the connection is correct according to the instructions.

Headset won’t connect

Although the 3.0 standard is gaining popularity, several users reported that this headset does not work properly with it. Try connecting to a USB 2.0 port. There will be no problems with the transmission quality. Try using the ports on the back of the computer instead of the front. The back panel is built into your motherboard, so the error will be fixed.
