Resolved ✅ NGENUITY 3.0.1 | Product detection issues

24 Upvotes

Heads up - if your HyperX device(s) stopped being detected after a recent NGENUITY update, here's what's going on.

A new build was accidentally pushed out over the weekend, updating NGENUITY from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 for some of you and causing detection issues across several devices. I've flagged this directly with the software team, an escalation is in place, and it should be addressed shortly.

In the meantime, here's what I'd recommend:

  • Downgrade back to NGENUITY 3.0.0
  • Turn off auto-updates for the time being. Give it around 24 hours before switching them back on

I'll update this thread as soon as the issue's been resolved, so make sure to check back occasionally for the latest status. Sorry for the disruption! 🙏

Firmware Update PF Haste 2 Wireless | Firmware fix for erratic cursor behavior

7 Upvotes

Good news - WE HAVE A FIX! 🙌

We've been at this one for a while, and if you've been following the previous thread, you'll know that a big part of what made this so difficult was that we were never able to successfully replicate the issue in our test lab. That changed a few days ago, and we've since been able to put together a fix. We all genuinely appreciate everyone's patience throughout!

🔗Download mouse firmware v1.1.1.5

🔗Download dongle firmware v4.1.0.9

Steps to update:

  • Close NGENUITY / NGENUITY Legacy and make sure it's no longer running in the system tray
  • Make sure the USB dongle is plugged in (preferably a rear USB port) and the mouse is connected via USB cable
  • Run both firmware updaters consecutively and follow the instructions

One thing to note - these two standalone updaters are just a temporary solution while the firmware gets rolled into NGENUITY. We'll add it to the release notes once it goes live.

If you get a chance to test this firmware update, please do report back and let us know if it resolved the issue for you. And if you notice anything unexpected or odd after updating, please flag that too! We want to hear about it either way. 😅

Thanks again for sticking with us on this one. 🙏

Headsets I've lost my dongle for my HyperX Cloud MIX, how do i make sure to get the right replacement?

1 Upvotes

EDIT: my mistake, these are HyperX Cloud II S Wireless

I want to get a replacement but i want to make sure its the right kind. I know its a 2.4 dongle but i don't know if it works like Bluetooth and you can use any or if you need a very specific version. Also i am using BT right now but there is a noticeable drop in quality.

Thank you.

Headsets Cloud core alpha wireless, will I be able to use it with USB-C to 3.5mm?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking to get the cloud core alpha or the cloud 3, the only thing stopping me at the moment is I want to use it to connect to my focusrite using a 3.5mm. Could I do that or is it exclusively wireless with no wired connection?

Headsets HyperX Cloud Earbuds III Not Getting Detected Realtek Audio

Today I bought these earbuds and I was excited to use them but only to find out it's not getting detected at all or have any audio output on my pc for some reason. I am not sure what is going on. I plugged it on the top of my pc MIC/AUDIO hole but still nothing pops up on my monitor and no audio. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Headsets HyperX Cloud Flight headband is too loose — any way to fix it?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have a pair of HyperX Cloud Flight headphones, and the metal headband seems to have spread out too much. Because of this, the headphones don't clamp firmly enough around my head, and the ear cups don't sit as tightly as they should.

I've noticed that if I gently squeeze the sides inward with my hands, the fit and sound improve, but they seem to return to their original position afterward.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Is there a safe way to bend the metal headband back inward or increase the clamping force without damaging the headphones?

I'd rather fix them than buy a new pair, so I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Thanks!

Headsets HyperX Cloud 3 S Wireless audio glitching

2 Upvotes

Had these headphones for a little over a month now. I've always loved HyperX headsets and these (for the most part) are no different. Sound wasn't great upon first opening but nothing a little EQ couldn't fix and now they sound great. Super comfortable and an incredible battery life as well. However all of this is almost nullified by an unbearable glitchy audio that happens for 30+ seconds straight every few minutes. If it matters - I've pretty much only played Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Marathon as well as YouTube and Spotify and as far as I can remember it happens no matter what. I'm right on the verge of taking them back to get a different pair but I keep seeing people very satisfied with these and fully recommending them so I'd love to know if there is some fix. The posts I've been seeing about this issue are all around a year old and I haven't seen anyone mention anything about an actual solution yet. Any advice is appreciated.

To add, I've tried both the USB-C and USB dongles and the issue persists with both.

Headsets HyperX Direct is basically a scam, DO NOT ORDER!

1 Upvotes

I've been in a shipping loop for almost two months with these clowns. They do not respond to emails and when they do the best they offer is a refund (nice little slap in the face to a once loyal customer). I have had an order sitting in their system since Sept 21st doing jack squat.

Absolutely the worst customer service I have seen from a "professional" company in the consumer goods space.

Do yourself a HUGE favor, and never, EVER, order directly from these jackasses.

Software Driver problem

0 Upvotes

I have a problem with my HyperX Cloud II Wireless headset. The original USB dongle broke, so I bought a replacement. The new dongle pairs with the headset and the audio works normally, but HyperX NGENUITY no longer detects the headset. When I check Device Manager, the dongle shows up as HyperX Cloud Stinger Core instead of HyperX Cloud II Wireless. Both the old and new dongles have the same hardware ID. How can I fix this and get the headset recognized by the software again?

Headsets HyperX Cloud Alpha 2 – Mic Issue Help Please

1 Upvotes

I bought my headset earlier this year and everything was fine, but just last week or so the mic got all tinny and sounds like a cheap room mic or something.

I updated the firmware on the Base Station and device, and did driver updates, etc.... rebooted, did windows updates.... played around with the HyperX software but I can't get it to stop sounding like this on Discord. I have no idea what to do next. I have a very high pitched squeaky girl voice, lol, and it doesn't get picked up a lot anymore and all bass is gone (of what their was). Friends say it at least sounded like a $200 mic but now it's a $5 mic.

Had a buzzing in left ear tried all of the fixes, that Reddit and YouTube provided. The only fix that completely helped, is removing from 3.2 usb to standard, and completely moving the tablet to the other end of desk away from pc. I also use with the standard sounds, no audio enhancements, dts, or special. All of the disabled. Hope this helps

“ps, I used the highest studio quality option (24 bit, 96000 Hz “studio quality”)

Mouse Pads pulsefire haste 2 wireless

1 Upvotes

Olá, equipe HyperX.

Preciso de ajuda com meu HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless Gaming Mouse, pois há meses estou enfrentando um problema recorrente com a conexão sem fio de 2.4 GHz.

Durante esse período, já realizei praticamente todos os procedimentos que foram recomendados pelo suporte e em fóruns, incluindo:

  • Atualização do firmware do mouse;
  • Atualização do dongle/receptor USB;
  • Downgrade e nova atualização do firmware;
  • Reinstalação e testes pelo HyperX NGENUITY;
  • Testes em diferentes portas USB;
  • Testes com o receptor mais próximo do mouse;
  • Novos pareamentos entre mouse e dongle;
  • Diversas outras configurações e procedimentos sugeridos.

Infelizmente, nada resolveu definitivamente o problema.

O mouse continua desconectando aleatoriamente quando utilizado através do receptor 2.4 GHz. Em alguns momentos, as desconexões são tão frequentes que o mouse se torna praticamente impossível de utilizar.

O mais frustrante é que adquirimos um mouse wireless de uma linha premium justamente para utilizá-lo sem fio, porém atualmente a única maneira de utilizá-lo com estabilidade é conectado pelo cabo USB.

Não acredito mais que seja apenas um problema de configuração ou software, considerando a quantidade de procedimentos que já foram realizados sem sucesso.

Gostaria, portanto, que a HyperX analisasse o caso e fornecesse uma solução definitiva, seja através da substituição do dongle/receptor, substituição do mouse ou acionamento da garantia/RMA, caso seja necessário.

Posso encaminhar:

  • Nota fiscal/comprovante de compra;
  • Número de série;
  • Fotos do produto e do receptor;
  • Vídeos demonstrando as desconexões;
  • Versões atuais do firmware e do NGENUITY;
  • Qualquer outra informação necessária para análise u/HyperX-Rob u/HyperX-Eric u/HyperX-Justin

Headsets Cloud III Wireless crackling sound

2 Upvotes

After my Cloud II died after many years, I went for a Cloud III, and now constantly have issues.

I constantly get a crackling sound while using it, no matter what application is being used.
Has anyone found a reliable solution for this issue? I looked across the internet, but none of those solutions worked out.

Another issue is that the Bluetooth dongle often disconnects for no reason and then is disconnected for 15 to 30 seconds.

Wondering if there is any way to keep my lighting profile on the keyboard without the app open? The app dumps a memory error or something everytime the PC is shutoff with it open, and besides, the lighting is only applied after the app is launched when the PC boots, so it's annoying.

Headsets Cloud 3s wireless comparable to Kingston cloud 2 wired?

3 Upvotes

I have had my Kingston cloud 2 wireds for many years and honestly it’s the best “gaming” headset I’ve had sound wise, bass is good to me, I can hear footsteps from a mile away and often get accused of hacking In every game because I can literally track them thru walls with how good it sounds. I’ve tried upgrading many times to different razer, cloud flights, and a few different headsets ranging from 100-250$ . They all sound so different and the imaging and footsteps I feel cannot be heard as precisely and it makes it difficult to track them as I have previously with the cloud 2s. I was going to get the cloud 3s wireless but I fear I may encounter the same problem and end up returning them. I was looking at studio headphones and doing a ton of research but the amount of information and deciding what to pick is currently overwhelming. Anyone come from wired cloud 2s kingstons and found the 3s to be better or a similar headset that has similar imaging or sound?
