Astro A40 TR Plus Mixamp M80: How can I fix the wire that connects to the M80 mixamp

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 08:02:38 -0700

The microphone and one of the speakers to my Astro A40 headset have stop functioning. If the wire attached to the M80 mixamp is angled and pushed just right, both components will start to work. I suspect that the wires enabling the speaker and mic to work have somehow loss connection due tugs on the cord. I think if the coppers wires were reconnected that the headset would start functioning normal again. I need information and a video on how to disassemble the M80 mixamp for the xbox one to expose these wires, but without harming the casing.

Astro A20: Bottom frame connector screw

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:01:28 -0700

All replacement information does not tell me what screws I need for the bottom frame that connects the earphone to the top of the headphones. It is located at the bottom of the adjustment slider. I cannot find anything on the Internet that tells me what screw to use. I can see from the right side of the headphone that they are a star screw

Astro A10 Gen2: Help:How to open housing (preferably non-destructively)

Sat, 25 Jan 2025 08:03:36 -0700

The screws inside the housing came off and it was rattling around inside.

I chose these because I heard they were sturdy, but I didn't expect them to break from the inside.

I'm sure I could fix it easily if I could open it, but I don't want to remove the adhesive from the earpads if at all possible(just because it's a pain to reattach them).

If you know, please let me know.

Astro A50: Volume Wheel: Inconsistency in Volume Control

Wed, 03 Jul 2024 00:54:33 -0700

Can't consistently get the right amount a volume due to a problem with the volume wheel on the a50. Quarter of a revolution upward, and the volume goes to the max. 5-10 revolutions downward to get the volume lowered. What to do to get it working properly again? it's annoying.

Astro A50 2016: Volume Knob only works 20% of the time.

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 20:08:27 -0700

Has anyone ever had issues with the volume knob not working? I scroll and scroll but nothing. Light presses seem to do something, but it goes up and down when you're only trying to go in one direction. I opened it up, nothing seems physically wrong with the scroll wheel, so I'm presuming its the module it connects to inside.

Astro A40 TR Plus Mixamp M80: Why is my mircrophone not working?

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 09:21:51 -0700

Hey, I am using the astro a40 TR and the mixamp that came with it but for some reason my microphone is not being picked up anymore (it used to work fine).

Both the headset, the mixamp and the microphone still work as I tested each individually but together the mic drops out.

For example, if I plug in the heasdset with mic directly into the pc then I can either listen (audio out) or use the mic (audio in) so both work fine. If i plug in my default phone earbuds into the mixamp, both sound and mic work fine on the pc. However, when I plug in the headset with mic into the mixamp, only the sound works on the pc and not the mic.

I would think it could be the cable but then why does the headset + mic work when I plug it directly into the audio in/out ports of the pc. I am very much confused about this problem and I am not sure which steps I should take next to find the real issue.

My A50's mic is broken. The mic is either all the way up, or all the way down. I can also just make it go full circle with no effort.

Astro A40 TR Plus Mixamp M80: How can I fixwhere the wire connects to the headset?

Sat, 01 Oct 2022 19:06:46 -0700

How can I fix where the wire connects to the headset? (Not where it connects to the mix amp). If I move it just right at the spot it connects to the headset it works, but generally it has stopped picking up sound from the mic.

Astro A40 TR: Sound keeps cutting out with my headphones

Sun, 08 May 2022 01:54:25 -0700

Periodically the sound cuts out for about 2-3 seconds then comes back, during that time the video (be it game or Netflix) is completely unaffected.

Also this never happens when the sound is coming out my speakers. On a side note when the sound cut out the mic on the headset still works perfectly fine and anyone can hear me.
