So I have a USB Creative Fatal1ty Headset. Today, I was playing and I alt-tabbed. I noticed that my sound cut out, and a notification popped up saying, "USB Device is not recognized by Windows" etc, etc. I tried unplugging and replugging. Nothing. I tried a system restore, nothing. I tried unstalling "Unrecognized Device" from Hardware Manager, nothing. I tried downloading driver from Creative website, ran it, nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not retarded, so i've tried all the basics. Please help me tho :\

Unlikely that you've missed this, but mine has cut out before and just needed a restart.

New usb port, unplug other usb devices,etc. Also unplug them, power off completely, power back on, then plug them in.

Re: Help me fix my headset
I've tried hard restarts, and I tried other USB ports. I've tried powering off, and then restarting. It doesn't work in other USB ports either. I'm going to try in in a different computer today, and then I'll get back to you all.
