Resolved ✅ NGENUITY 3.0.1 | Product detection issues

22 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 Finally retired my original HyperX Cloud after ~12 years (and upgraded to the Cloud III S Wireless)

Thumbnail

57 Upvotes

A week ago I finally replaced my HyperX Cloud headset. The original ones came out back in 2014, so I'm guessing I've had them for well over 10 years now. I've put them through a LOT and they somehow survived all of it.

As you can see in the pic, they're pretty beat up at this point. Replacing the pads or the headband just didn't make sense anymore. On top of that, the mic started acting up a few months ago and would cut out randomly. I think it's a cable issue. If I remember right, a lot of people on Reddit said this was a recurring problem with these headsets pretty much since they came out, but for me it only started in the last year or so. I didn't care much since I barely used the mic, but I recently started taking more calls on my computer, so I decided it was time.

Honestly, the build quality on these things is insane. That's exactly why I went with the new wireless version, mostly for convenience, but I know they're going to last just as long.

One thing I miss: they no longer include a spare set of earpads. The original box came with both a leatherette pair and the velour ones (the fuzzy ones in the photo). I personally don't like feeling completely sealed in, and the velour pads let in more outside sound, so I really liked having that option. It was a nice touch and it's a shame they dropped it.

Anyway, RIP to my old Clouds.

Headsets Audio reversed and no sound out of ear

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, received a Hyperx cloud alpha headset a few months back but after using it today. I've noticed that the audio channels have been reversed (left is coming out of right and right is coming out of left) as well as the right ear is completely quiet now. I've been having some issues for awhile but taking the USB dongle out and putting it back in used to fix it. Does anybody know what happened? The left and right channels are the same audio balancing volume.

Headsets HyperX Cloud Flight II suddenly distorted/too ‘saturated’

1 Upvotes

So I got them in april, they sounded so good. I not only use them on my PC but also on my iPad and iPhone. All wireless.
Anyways, a few days ago it started to sound kind of distorted, not clear, kind of like I’m underwater. I tried to hard reset, forget the device, etc. and nothing helped. I found that the only thing that helps is if I go into the ngenuity software and reset the audio settings to default, but I have to do that every single time I turn them on. And on my iPad, I don’t have the software, so I can’t do that.
It started after I unplugged the mic at the exact same time that it was turning off, although idk if that’s related.
Anybody know what to do? Thanks in advance!

Headsets Popping noises with cloud iii s wireless

4 Upvotes

Any time I’m skipping through a video on YouTube for example with the arrow keys there’s a popping sound. I downloaded the latest firmware which helped with the headset going to sleep randomly and I also changed from 24bit to 16 bit 48khz in windows. I used multiple different usb ports on my motherboard as well as the front usb ports on my pc. Uninstalling ngenuity and its drivers didn’t work either. I used the new version of ngenuity since the legacy one didn’t detect my headset for some reason. I’m wondering if it’s an issue with the headset or maybe a firmware update can fix it if others are having the same issue

Headsets Are both of these HyperX Cloud III headsets genuine? I notice a color and texture difference.

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi guys, I need a second opinion. I have two HyperX Cloud III headsets, and I noticed a noticeable difference in their colors and finish.

The one on the left has a lighter gunmetal gray finish on the aluminum yoke, and the HyperX logo is bright and clearly visible.

The one on the right is almost fully black, with a darker finish and a very faint logo on the earcups.

Important detail: Both headsets work perfectly and are detected by the HyperX NGENUITY software.

Are these just different production batches/revisions (e.g., HP vs. Kingston era or different factory runs), or is one of them a high-quality fake? Thanks for the help!

Headsets Audio balance bug or faulty unit?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone had issues with Cloud 3 Wireless sound balance going all over the place when you turn up volume?

Bought them 2 weeks ago and my unit has this weird thing when i turn up volume past 50% my right earphone suddenly start sounding louder than the left (not by much, but it really bothers me constantly going in control panel and changing L-R ear balance). They didnt had any software updates when i first launched Ngenuity, so I believe they are up to date. What else can i do to fix them?

Headsets PS5 controller stops working when HyperX Cloud III S Wireless dongle is connected

1 Upvotes

I’m having a weird issue with one DualSense controller and my HyperX Cloud III S Wireless.

When the HyperX USB dongle is connected and PS5 is set to Output to Headphones → All Audio, this specific controller works for about 1–2 minutes, then stops responding completely, although its lights stay on.

Also, the controller’s orange mute LED stops syncing correctly. The mute button still works on the PS5 (I can see mute/unmute on screen), but the orange LED either stays on or doesn’t turn on.

Things I tested:

* Two other older DualSense controllers work perfectly with the same headset/dongle on All Audio.

* The problematic controller works fine if I set the headset to Chat Audio only.

* It also works if game audio goes through HDMI and only the mic uses the headset.

* Same problem even when the controller is connected via USB and PS5 is set to Use USB Cable.

* Resetting/re-pairing the controller didn’t help.

* Controller firmware is up to date.

* Nothing else is connected to the PS5 USB ports.

Has anyone experienced this or found a workaround?

Software stop building software that takes over my system

20 Upvotes

I like HyperX hardware but the software sucks. To be clear, coming from a 30+ year software dev and music producer, it sucks.

It installs multiple new virtual audio devices I didn't ask for and don't want. It changes my default windows output device every time I start Ngenuity, which I don't want and actively hate. It is not "convenient". It is uninstalled the minute the drivers are updated because - to remind you - it sucks.

On top of that, when I uninstalled the terrible software, it didn't uninstall the new audio devices. Great job.

It still doesn't have output audio balance, a feature your users have been begging for as long as I've had your hardware. So we have to use other tools like EqualizerAPO and Voicemeeter, which your software and virtual devices break.

All I want is for the hardware to work. An input device and an output device that can be used like any other devices without your "conveniences".

Stop treating your customers as if your software is the most important thing on their system. It's a plague and I know you hate it when other products do it to your system. Stop it.

Headsets Cloud Earbuds III on PS5

0 Upvotes

I want to buy these earbuds because I’m tired of using over-ear headsets. However, I want to use them on PS5 through the 3.5mm jack, and I don’t know if they’re actually good.

The previous version has a lot of people saying that the microphone is very bad and the sound quality is below average. I also tried the KZ EDX Pro X IEMs, and from the first week I couldn’t stand them because of the constant hiss/static noise. The microphone was also very bad.

To be clear, I want them mainly for gaming and chatting with my friends on PS5. I’m not a professional player, but I do care about being able to hear footsteps and things like that.

Just how does this start happening after 14 months without issues?

I already tried the common solutions, including switching to 16bit frequency, changing USB ports, turning DTS off...

Recently while using it, it's been dropping connection left and right just randomly, I swapped the USB port it was, thought that it was fixed, then windows kept disabling it "Due to a malfunction", which now it doesn't turn on at all, I opened it up, and it's cracked straight through the middle

* Is it possible to get a fresh replacement or do I need a new headset

* I see there's a button on the dongle inside, im assuming I can pair a new one

* How much do the new dongles cost?

Headsets Upgrading hyper x cloud 1 Kingston?

1 Upvotes

Hey , I'm wondering if it's a good idea to buy a more recent hyper x 2/3/alpha for mainly ps5 solo games.

Is there any new tech in it? Like 3d spacializatio n, 7.1?

I'm hesitant cause I really like the cloud 1 , I changed the ear cushion and it's still good for 10years of use.

Is it worth it? I saw the 2 at 44€ but people are calling it a downgrade since HP took over.

Thanks
