gotmilk Posted December 3, 2006 CID Share Posted December 3, 2006 I just bought a cheap Plantronics headphone/mic combo and I can't get the microphone to work. Anyone have advice?

Swimmer Posted December 3, 2006 CID Share Posted December 3, 2006 is the microphone input muted in your sound settings for you sound card? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16649-new-headphonemicrophone-combo/#findComment-189506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now when I get on teamspeak everything that comes through the earphones goes though the mic!

Voltageman Posted December 4, 2006 CID Share Posted December 4, 2006 Ah, that fixed it, thanks. EDIT: ARRGH! Now when I get on teamspeak everything that comes through the earphones goes though the mic! Make the mic visible in your playback sound settings, and mute it..It is probably on under playback..Mine does that for some reason as well...

Voltageman Posted December 4, 2006 CID Share Posted December 4, 2006 I can't find the option for that... Control Panel/Sound and Audio Devices/Audio/Sound Playback(or Play Control)/Volume/Options/Properties/ --- Check "Microphone" so it shows up with a volume slider under Playback(or Play Control) and mute it.

gotmilk Posted December 4, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 4, 2006 I just unmuted the mic so I could talk. I want to talk, but I don't want what goes through the headphones to go back through my mic.

Voltageman Posted December 4, 2006 CID Share Posted December 4, 2006 I mean to mute the Mic only under Playback, not Recording...Are you sure you are muting the one under Playback and not under recording?

just- Posted December 4, 2006 CID Share Posted December 4, 2006 gotmilk what headset did u get ? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16649-new-headphonemicrophone-combo/#findComment-189602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted December 4, 2006 CID Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have a Plantronics headset too, it does the same thing to me, I believe the problem is just that the mic is on under playback as well as under recording...Mine does this for some reason, and it creates an echo effect through the mic. Just make sure you make the mic visible under playback so you can mute it, and make sure the mic is checked under recording devices.... Edit: Make sure you are not using Mic2 port.....If you are, you will need to make that visible under Playback, and make sure it is muted as well.
