Troubleshooting
No sound from headset
Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully plugged into the correct audio port. Check that the headset volume is not muted or turned down. Verify that the Marvo HG8901 is selected as the audio output device in your system's sound settings.
Microphone not working
Confirm the microphone is not muted on the headset (if applicable) and in your system's sound settings. Ensure the 3.5mm jack is correctly plugged in, or if using USB, check that the microphone input is enabled. Test with another application or device.
RGB lights not turning on
The RGB lighting requires a USB connection. Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into a powered USB port on your computer or console. Try a different USB port or power source.
Audio distortion or static
Check the 3.5mm connection for any debris and ensure it's seated properly. Try a different audio source or application to see if the issue persists. Update your device's audio drivers.
