Pimax Crystal Light Headphones Have Clicking Sounds

[avgyst]

I bought 5090 and the helmet headphones started making clicking noises when playing audio. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Hello, did you manage to solve this problem?

[dutchili]

Nope, the amount of click seems somewhat related to whether the pimax is the default audio device. But I don't have hard evidence.

I haven't contacted pimax. Did you?

Have your tried PTT on your radio ?
I also have voice attack which monitors my speech, but every noise  is captured and kicks in the microphone as a click.

I also dont have my pimax yet, but the clicking is noticable..... due to some audio settings and something kicking in.

Regards

no voice attack in my case. Also not related to SRS

I contacted pimax technical support, all the options they offered were not working. There is an assumption that the problem is related to DisplayPort and lies in Nvidia drivers.

well, that could be right as i am heaving DCS crashes where the dcs.log and eventviewer point towards my GPU. Still investigating this with ED.
I also read somewhere that the earphones are clipping, setting the volume in windows lower, and higher on the headset could work. Haven't tested it yet.

Does the issue still persist? I’ll go ahead and file a report to the development team as well to check if they’ve encountered a similar issue and can offer any additional insight.

yes it is relevant for 5090, I haven't seen such problems on 4090, thanks

100% a 5090 issue. Just put my new FE in and has these exact issues. Replaced the 4090 and issue is gone. Must be an NVIDIA HD audio issue or driver related.
