The part that holds the cable for the index broke, and while it works, it sometimes produces static in the left ear. any ideas for fixing it?
I think they mean the head strap guide which is mounted to the cable, right behind the left speaker Mine broke off too, but as its just there to prevent tension on the plug, it might be enough to just tape the cable down so it won’t move.
Very easy to replace if I understand correctly,Part: Valve Index Headset Head Strap Clip Guide: Valve Index Headset Head Strap Clip Replacement
The same thing happened to mine almost as soon as I got it, since the clip seems to be molded into the arm, you’d have to replace that to fix it properly, but there are clips online that you can 3D print as an alternative, they just clip around the arm. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:442425… < a clip I found on thingaverse If you cant fix it, don’t worry, like I said mine broke off really early, and that was in 2019, I just bought my first replacement cable just a few weeks ago, and the damage was past the clip.
