Headset keeps disconnecting/reconnecting

[Paralyzed]

So since a few days ago my Razer Kraken 7.1 suddenly keeps disconnecting, and then trying to reconnect. I don't know if it's an issue within windows vista or that my headset is simply dying. I haven't done anything sudden that could cause my headset to break, but I did notice that it tends to disconnect when moving my head and then reconnects when I go back into the old position (before it dc'd) which makes me think the cable connected to my headset is broken, so therefore my headset is also. Any suggestions?

Wowie, my computer even prompted me to upgrade to windows 7, but I've denied it. I'm just too used to vista mangg. @Frosty

I have razer kraken and had about the same issues. I ma give you a list of things that you need to do.

 

 

• switch port
  
• Did the razer headphone "pop" before disconnect your?
  
• Did you try with other earphone?
  
• rollback, update the drivers
  
• check your sounds drivers
  
• try wiggle the wire near the end to see if it's your wire's problem

Here is your problem.

 

But srsly try a different port, that fixed it for me when i had my razer headphones and i had the same issue

I'm not sure if it's just my headset, even my keyboard disconnected twice already and I had to reboot my PC in order for it to work again, Unplugging and plugging it back in didn't fix it. I'm currently running some windows updates and will see if there any updates for my sound drivers. Will get back to here if none of the things mentioned in this post resolved anything.

usb drivers as well if your keyboard does it. I'm pretty sure Vista has a tonne of issues regarding drivers as well.

I choked when I saw Windows Vista.

 

My headphones used to disconnect and reconnect. They were different, logitech g633, so it had a detachable cable (might be the g933 idk). I eventually replaced the cable and I haven't had it do this since. It most likely is the cable. I'm not sure if Razer Kraken is a built-in cable or if you can change them easily, but there's a good chance that it's the cable.

Alrighty, I've upgraded to Windows 10. I got all the recent windows updates now, so hopefully that fixes everything (this wasn't the case before the upgrade as it was always stuck trying to retrieve updates).

 

I haven't found the time yet to experiment with it though, but once I do... fingers crossed.

 

E: Everything works fine again and I haven't experienced any issues ever since.
