My solution:

So I seemed to have fixed the problem now. Went in and completely removed the steelseries engine. Then I unplugged the headset usb from the back 3.0 port. I then did a restart with the headset unplugged, and it turns out that it was the headphone that was causing the problem. After the system restarted, I plugged the headphone into a different usb port in the back (still using a 3.0 port). Everything is good so far, no freezes when playing audio. Then I did another restart, this time with everything plugged in, and there ya go, problem fixed. I'm still hesitant to reinstall the steelseries engine and drivers, but it seems that the mouse and headphone still remembers all the settings from before.


Problem before:

So I have a Steelseries Diablo3 mouse and Steelseries Diablo3 headset. A problem occurs where whenever any audio plays, it freezes the mouse for as long as it plays, and when the audio stops, the mouse resumes or unfreezes...

So far I've reinstalled the entire engine and updated both drivers on the mouse and the headset and nothing seemed to work. I've disconnected and reconnected the headphone from the back 3.0 port and it seemed to fix the problem until the next system restart, then it happens all over again...Anyone else have this problem?

God I hate steelseries and their shitty drivers that actually breaks their hardware.... : I
