Headset, keyboard, mouse not working

Locked

Tags: Hardware, Operating Systems, Windows

I’m a gamer. I load into a game my mic and audio cuts out, if I try to fix the issue by unplugging and plugging back in or turning the headset on/off again then my mouse cursor freezes, and keyboard no longer works until I turn my pc off then on again. only happens when gaming and not every time I load into a game. I just recently updated all drivers to see if that’s a fix to it, but any other recommendations would be appreciated thank you.

I’d try a USB sound card in stead of the one built into your PC. If that works, it’s an easy and cheap fix.

If that doesn’t solve your issue, it’s something else. The first thing to try then is a clean install of Windows and drivers and just 1 game. If that doesn’t help either it’s probably a hardware issue with the motherboard.

If it’s just the mouse that doesn’t work (but your next post says it’s much more):
– if wireless, try new batteries
– if wired, try another mouse

I experience the same and I got confused to fix the drivers in my computers. Anyone in this case know how to maybe, so I’ll leave my trace here.

That depends on the computer and the drivers. So please tell more about the PC and which driver(s) you want to update.

Malware or viruses can cause all sorts of strange behavior on your computer, so it’s a good idea to run a virus scan to see if that could be the issue. You can use an antivirus program such as Windows Defender or Malwarebytes.

It sounds like you are experiencing some issues with your headset and peripherals when gaming. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

Check your headset and peripherals: Ensure that your headset and peripherals are functioning properly. Try plugging them into a different computer or device to see if the issue persists.

Check your computer’s power settings: If your computer is set to enter a low-power state during periods of inactivity, this could be causing the issue. Try adjusting your power settings to see if this resolves the issue.

Check your USB ports: It’s possible that your USB ports are malfunctioning or not providing enough power to your headset and peripherals. Try plugging them into different USB ports to see if this resolves the issue.

Check your graphics card drivers: Graphics card drivers can also cause issues with peripherals. Ensure that your graphics card drivers are up-to-date.

Disable any unnecessary background programs: Other programs running in the background could be causing conflicts with your gaming software. Try disabling any unnecessary programs to see if this resolves the issue.

Check for any overheating: Overheating can cause issues with peripherals and other components. Ensure that your computer is properly ventilated and not overheating.

If the issue persists after trying these solutions, it may be worth consulting with a computer technician to diagnose the problem.
