Wireless Headset Audio Cutting In and Out While Gaming Only

T

Whenever using either of my two wireless headsets while playing games, the audio will randomly cut out for a second or so then come back. This happens repeatedly and seemingly at random intervals, and only while I'm playing a game. I can watch a feature length movie or any number of YouTube videos, and I can chat on Discord at length, and I never have any audio issues. As soon as I fire up a game though, the game audio starts the random cutting out thing.


My two wireless headsets are the Logitech G533 Gaming Headset and the Corsair Void RGB Elite, and I get the same issue with both. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for each headset, and the same with the hub software for each (Logitech G HUB and Corsair iCue). I've tried re-syncing each headset with it's dongle. I have tried connecting the dongles for each headset to all the USB ports on my computer - including those on my Dell monitor. Same result in all cases.


I've run through all the troubleshooters I can find related to audio. I've tried adjusting audio settings and made sure there were no enhancements enabled. I've tried turning off Xbox Game Mode, per a suggestion I saw in a forum post about a related audio issue. I've tried SFC and DISM, again per a related post I saw.


I have also tested with a pair of Bose speakers I have connected to the audio jack on my Dell monitor, which is connected via DisplayPort 1.2 cable to my Radeon RX 580 GPU. I have not seen the issue replicate while using the speakers. It only seems to happen while I'm using one of my headsets.
