USB Not Recognized (Corsair 1500 headset) unknown device

[lordvalinar]

EDIT: I suppose I should also mention the device in question is a Corsair Vengeance 1500 Headset. And that I know the USB ports themselves work, because I can plug in other things into those slots (like I just tried my External HDD and it's reading just fine), but even if I plug the headset into other USBs it wont' read it :\

-----------------------------

Well I can't say this is the first time this has happened to me, but I can't remember how I fixed it last time or if it fixed itself.... anyways. I just booted up the PC this morning and all of a sudden I get a warning popup saying USB Not Recognized, has malfunctioned blah blah blah you've read it before too I'm sure

Things I've tried:
-> Deleting all the USB drivers in Device manager and then rebooting

-> turned off PC, unplugged power cord, replugged back in? Some were stating that unplugging the power cord fixes this issue but I'm on a desktop so I can't exactly just yank it while it's running and expect to restart the PC without power

-> Made sure to follow the steps involving Advanced System Settings, "devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices" value: 1
<> Uninstalled all the hidded devices shortly after above

-> Yes I tried turning it off and back on again xD

-> unplugged all USB devices, deleted INFCACHE1 in the system32/DriverStore folder

-> And now just tried recently to find the PID, VID, DEV id... or something ,but when I look up the Unknown Device > Properties > Details (Dropdown: Device Instant Path) I get this!

USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&3B0D2CFF&0&1

soooo uhhh yeah I'm lost now. I don't know what else to do Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm one of those people that generally can't live without their headset considering I like to listen to loud music and the walls here are very thin... so I don't wanna hear my upstairs neighbors humping like bunny rabbits all damn day or have people knock on my door because my music's too loud, etc etc

UPDATE: It would also seem 1 other device is not working, my USB hub. When i plug it in it gives me
Other Devices
> USB2.0 Hub

which is different than the headset, because with the headset I just get "Unknown Device" in the list of all the USB devices :\

I'm thinking it might be a headset issue... the Corsair Vengeance 1500's are the only ones that I've seen had this problem (twice)... although actually the Logitech G35s had this problem too with my other computer... what is it with USB headsets?

(using a cheap $9 walmart set for the time being) Wondering if anyone can still help

Hmm bump? Anyone? No one? I don't want to re-install Windows if I don't have to; that will be the greatest pain just to get a hub and headset working :\

So, I decided to ask one of my teachers at ITT, explained the entire situation and he states that it is a headphone problem unfortunately. *sighs* This is the 2nd time I'll have had these headphones replaced due to a USB port/driver issue. Wonder if I can just get an entirely new set, or just see about getting my Logitech G35s fixed too and use those instead.
