DARK BAWGS Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Holy cow! Yesterday I made the drive to Niagara Falls NY to pick up my new toys. An Astro 40 TR and a four button Cinch controller for my PS4.... When I got everything updated and set up it was game time - what a shock the A40's sounded like I was in an echo chamber, they were terrible. I tried all kinds of settings an nothing seemed to work; then like the inept office worker who didn't plug in the computer I checked all the connections first time everything seemed fine then on a second go round I noticed that the "mute" line was ever so slightly out. When I pushed it in no movement but it just took a bit more pressure - problem solved. Now they are working great, except sounds are coming from places they shouldn't be, like outside the map. OK, I know I should turn the headset around, which I did finally figure out - I had them on backwards - it was a "senior moment"! Now all is great and even though I will still be terrible, I will have "terrible fun"... Have a great day all. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and I love my Astros as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been great if they included more presets off the shelf as I've got no clue about customising them, even then i thought astro would do something like monthly preset updates, it just looks like we are getting left to our own devices now and can only hope more of joe public comes up with new ones.

I'm running my A50's. I haven't even used my A40's on Ops 3 yet but nothing needed to change on the 50's from the last 2 titles for me. There was an update for the mixamp a while back. Not sure if you did it. I always found the best info for adjusting on youtube to be honest. The forums on the astro website are pretty informative as well.
