HyperX Cloud Alpha: Microphone doesn't pick up any sound

Sat, 10 Dec 2022 13:18:51 -0700

I bought a second hand pair of Hyperx Cloud Alpha headphones. First thing that I observed was, the microphone wasn't picking any sound.

I tried different types of solutions online but with no result.

I plugged the microphone directly into the microphone jack and it worked. After that I verified if the microphone line on the cable was continuous, it was.

In the end I took apart the headphones and found this:

There wasn't any resistor where it's showing on the board, the question is, does someone know the value of that resistor?

Or if a dirrect connection will work without affecting the microphone/headphones.

Edit:

These are the photos for the pcb backside:

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: Hyperx Sound Card not working

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 10:10:38 -0700

The Hyperx logo lights up when plugged in, but there is no sound when the headset is plugged into the 3mm jack. The Cloud 2 headset is okay because there is sound when plugged into other 3mm jacks. My computer doesn't recognize the sound card when looking at the device manager.

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: (Wireless) headphones only work out of one ear on laptop.

Fri, 05 Aug 2022 16:14:17 -0700

I have the wireless version of the Hyperx Cloud II headphones. Basically, the sound stopped coming out of the right side of the headphones yesterday. It happened as I was adjusting the volume with the dial on that side. I was listening on my laptop when it happened. I moved to my desktop and tried them, and the sound didn't come out of the right side at first, but after a minute or two, it started working normally. Today, I switched back to my laptop and it only worked out of one side again. I restarted and unplugged the USB driver, which didn't work. I also tried spotify, youtube, and apple books, and the sound issue persisted for all of them. Thanks for the help!

Cloud orbit s: Right ear diaphragm is crinkling.

Fri, 15 Apr 2022 11:17:08 -0700

Recently (after about 1 month of use) my cloud orbit s headphone's right ear's diaphragm has started crinkling.
I read that this is due to air pressure, but am unsure if there is a way to fix the issue.
I am willing to take the headphones apart and attempt fixing them, but I am not that experienced with sodering.
anyone know how I can stop the crinkling?

So the headband part which controls the headband size is broken on the left side of the headset

as i understand the little plastic piece that broke off is pushing the grey plastic thingy into the headband. What i thought i could do, is somehow creating a bump out of something on the broken piece, but i don’t know what material i would need for that. So any tips?

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: What are the screw specs?

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 17:26:43 -0700

I have tried to repair my left speaker and I have figured it out, but I have lost the screws. (I did it a long time ago and someone put away the tiny screws somewhere and forgot about them). I was wondering what the specifications of all the screws were, the ones to attach the speakers to the band and the ones holding the inner parts together.

So i dropped my headset and when i put it back on the right side just sounded different and now I’m not sure if it’s the headset itself or something disconnected or something. My sound settings don’t look bad but I think something’s wrong. There doesn’t seem anything wrong to the wire.

Kingston HyperX Cloud II: HyperX Cloud II - right speaker is not working

Wed, 26 Aug 2020 11:14:34 -0700

I’ve been using my Cloud II headphones for over a year and the right side speaker just stopped working, after looking in the sound control panel to check if the right speaker is at a different volume, i found out that it is not.

I don’t have the receipt, so i can’t use warranty, i do know someone who can fix it but, i have to know how to identify the cables so i can tell them which one is the cable that leads to the right speaker.

Any sort of help would be appreciated!
