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 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.

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.

Astro A40 TR: Broke Headphone Jacks A40

Sun, 10 May 2020 09:07:03 -0700

Hey mate. My left headphone jack is broken as the plastic bit on the inside has broken off and raddles around. Therefore the mic does not stay in, it just pops out. Can I buy and replace this piece of plastic?

2nd. My right side stays in perfectly but sometimes has static. Works 100% of the time while I’m pushing it in so it just seems it needs force? Whenever I let go it just goes back to static.

Not a mic problem as I’ve tried another, it’s the Jacks. Thanks.

Astro A50 2016: My game volume adjusts itself. How do I fix this?

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 16:09:10 -0700

I have had my Astro A50’s gen 3 for a little over a year. I started having this issue where the game volume balancer wasn’t working. A day of two latter, the issue progressed to the point where the balancer is constantly adjusting to game volume. I’ve pulled it apart clean any kind of corrosion I could find to no avail. I’m out of ideas and I don’t know what to do next.

Astro A20: (HELP) Microphone Not Functioning Properly

Mon, 15 Apr 2019 09:15:50 -0700

The microphone is not able to receive input from the actual microphone, however (oddly enough), it only works when I directly talk through the speaker in the headset. As you can probably imagine, it’s not very practical to do that whilst playing a game. I have both the microphone and the speaker cables plugged in (using a Windows Dell PC), so what do you suppose it the problem? Thanks in advance!
