ok just received my new hs-1200 wireless gaming headset
hooked it up and since then have been the victim of unplayable lag/choke and decrease of FPS in CS:S
my comp meets the headset requirments all though some just barely
can a headset actually cause my game lag?
if so any way to fix it?
maybe i just got unlucky and need a RMA?

ive looked all over and cant ge ta definative answer to any of these questions
maybe some one here can shed a little light? plz

what system specs?

when you say lag, do you mean network/internet lag, or do you mean a drop in framerate?

unplug/uninstall headset. restart comp and see if it still does it?

HP a522n
pentium 4 2.6ghz
1 gig ram
nvidia 6200a

and as far as i mean like lag is i will get about 70 FPS and zero choke for about 20 minutes and then my FPS will drop to below 20 and the choke will raise to about 20ish
did a complete format and the problem still exsist...but i changed the headset to my old one and it still happens so i concluded its not my headset....im read that having a dirty cpu fan etc could be causing overheat and dropping perfomance after time so im gonna check into that today
