I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Thanks for the response. I did load the XMOS-Stereo-USB-Audio-Class2-Driver-306A last night but all I got was another USB Audio Device to select Notice the word "XMOS" was missing from the USB Audio selection in the list of playback device.
Probably due to not getting the XMOS USB Audio Device; but simply USB Audio Device, I still cannot get the balance to work on the m9XX.
I'm going to try load the driver again tonight. Is there other information I need to know before I try again? I'm using Windows 7 OS.
Thanks!
I haven't yet seen the [Direct Sound] sound devices on my PC. On my Windows 7 x64 PC, I have two "XMOS USB Audio" devices (3- for the m920, 8- for the m9XX) when in USB 2 mode, which allows for >96kHz bit-perfect audio.
UPDATE: OK, the light dawns on marble-head. Here's how to adjust volume and balance with the m9XX. Bring up an app like Tidal for Windows. Under Settings → Streaming select the "System Default" sound device. Tidal will now obey Windows' opinion of volume (I still recommend 100% within Windows) and under Control Panel → Sound → XMOS → Properties → Levels → Balance, you can adjust the left/right balance at will.
I'd also recommend selecting Configure → Next → and checking "Full-range speakers". Might not make a difference, but why let Windows roll off your direct sound audio by mistake?
I'm currently using iTunes in Windows 7 to play back AIFF audio files. I use Foobar2000 to play back Flac files.
Thanks!
You've been a wonder of info here. Thanks for your sharing!
