The sound straight out of the box is very odd, it's super load some times and super quiet at other times. I never had this issue with any of the older Astro headsets, so I don't get why I'm suddenly having this issue. However if I unplug it and just use the micro USB then it works, or if I plug the digital audio straight into the motherboard. When I plug in the digital audio cord into the Nu Audio card I lose all sound. Sadly it also isn't compatible with my Nividea Nu Audio card. The sound still works without it being plugged in. Eventually I did get it to work, I don't even know if it actually uses the Dolby digital output or not. I had to plug in the headset unplug it, replug it in, unplug it, over and over again, swap PC to PS4 back and forth swap to different sound outfits etc. For what ever reason it decided to not work straight out of the box. The issue I have with this headset it was a pain in to get it to work. Sometimes I do 30 hours gaming sessions, on the weekends. I then decided I had enough with wireless headsets since the battery life was an issue for me. I bought the Astro A50 Gen3 and it has the same issue as the other 2 versions, in about a year it went from 14 hours to around 6. It started with around 8 hours of battery life and it also degraded slowly to around 2 hours of battery life in a year and a half.
I bought a second Astro A50 also Gen2 and the battery life was supposed to be a improved version of the Astro A50 Gen2.
But in about 1 year's time the battery life degraded slowly from 5 hours to it had to be plugged in to work.
I don't know if I use them to much or maybe it was just the pairs I had. The next headset I bought was the Astro A50 Gen2, which was also amazing, for a time. I starting using them in around 2006, in 2010 the mix amp broke, however I was still able to use them without it, until 2011 when the headset decided to stop working as well. I was completely hooked, they looked amazing, sounded amazing, and were insanely comfortable. Later on my parents got me the first generation of the Astro A40's and I was blown away by how much better they were then my Logitech ones I had at the time. At some point I would just forget about the pain since I was so obsessed with Diablo II at the time. I used them to much that the foam started to disintegrate, to the point of where the plastic used to dig into the my ears. I used to use super cheap headset the "Logitech PC Headset 120" since I didn't know anything about computers back then. The tale begins back when I was in grade school. If you're willing to listen to my tale read on. So it pains me to give this headset a review and score of 2/5 and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone new buying Astro's for the first time. I've always been a big fan of Astro headsets.
