Title: Corsair headset works offline not online
Post by: akDream on January 21, 2026, 08:45:35 PM
Corsair USB headset, seems to work for everything else. Game comes up and gives warning message that "No active speakers were found. Sounds are disabled." It works offline, however. Does not work online. Any ideas?

I assume you went to options, preferences and selected Game Sounds to set it all up, right? In  Speaker Layout, select "Use Windows Speaker configuration". Note Speaker and Headset options.

Yes, as I said, it works in offline practice mode but I get nothing when online.

Are you restricting what windows can use to access the internet?  I think the sounds/coms are a different set of ports that need to be open.

I'm not sure what you're asking. How would I restrict what Windows can use to access the internet? It works with things like War Thunder and Discord without any problems.

If you dont know what Im talking about, we can be pretty sure your not messing with those settings   :D

Seeing it works in the game off line, your issue seems to be something with the game on line. The only other thing that I can think of is to check your anti-virus software and be sure to "allow" Aces High through.

If that isnt it, a call to Hitech might be in order.

Seems that shutting down the computer and starting it back up has solved the issue, at least for the moment. It had not been restarted after program install. Don't know if anything else was affecting it, but it is good for now.
