Audigy SE Headset mic w/ speakers prob

<font face="verdana,geneva" color="#808080">My on board sound peaced out the other day, so I bought the Audigy SE sound card and I have sound now, but I use speakers to listen to my games and a headset for communication purposes only, not sound. I plugged the mic part of the headset into the mic slot, but no one could hear me on Ventrilo (s'what we use to talk) so I opened up the volume control for this program and unmuted the mic and it worked, but I heard myself?talking on the speakers. I couldn't find anything in the self-help guides about this. What should I do to make my mic not heard through MY speakers? Any help/ideas would be great!

relxe,
As the announcement at the top of each board details, the forum is for user interaction, not for Support. We monitor the forums, but don't guarantee a response to every thread.
As far as the question goes, blue connections are normally line in, not microphone (they're usually pink-ish). Did you try the other input? Plug it into the mic input and make sure the mixer is set correctly (particularly the red slider for recording source).

  • Help getting my headset/mic to work with my Audigy 2 ZS I/O

    Hi,
    I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with the external I/O dri've. I am trying to plug my headset/mic into my external I/O dri've, however I can't get the microphone to work. I have used the headset/mic with my other computer without any problems, so I know it is working. There has got to be a problem with the I/O connections or the way I have set up the Audigy 2 ZS.
    Here are the connections I have made:
    Headset speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub headset port --- Works great.
    Mic speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub Line /Mic In port --- Doesn't work.
    I have tried talking to a friend using Skype as well as using the Windows XP Sound Test Wizard, neither once picks up my voice from the mic.
    Thanks for the help, I am at my wits end with this thing.

    time? How do I get all the inputs recognized? I thought using the ASIO driver would
    help but it makes me switch the audio rate to 48K instead of 44.. Does the ASIO driver
    only work at 48k? What are the correct drivers to use for recording into Sonar?
    Thanks,

    Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
    Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
    W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

  • Need help getting Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic to work

    greetings.
    i am using a Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic along with an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, and i cannot for the life of me get my laptop to recognize audio coming from the mic. the mic switch on the cord is on, and the status light is lit up, and i can even hear my voice from the mic in the headphones, but the audio is not being inputted into the computer. i'm using winxp pro and have played around with all the audio settings in control panel with no luck. any suggestions? i thank you in advance for your time and consideration. take care.
    regards,
    jps

    Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
    They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

  • Headset Mic Voice Output to 5.1 Speaker Unwan

    Hi. I have a Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI Soundcard that I have configured to output to a Logitech z-5500 5. Surround Sound. which works fine.
    I have the motherboard on-board soundcard to output to the headset speakers.
    I have also got a headset mic set that I am using with Ventrillo. The setup I am trying to get is that voice speech only comes out of the speakers of the headset and not the logitech 5. speakers. And the game music to come out in 5. surround sound.
    Hardware Setup
    Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI
    Asus P5K Premium Wi-Fi/AP Onboard Soundcard Analog Devices HD Audio SoundMax

    Wire Config:
    SoundBlaster
    3x output? to 5. Speakers
    x Mic Input from Headset

    Software Config:
    Vista x64
    Soundblaster Driver (latest)
    Soundmax onboard Driver (latest)
    Ventrillo Latest
    World of Warcraft
    I have got it configured (i think) and it seems to all be working fine but I have noticed that when I am not in game or Ventrillo and in the standard Operating system Vista x64. I notice that I get my voice output to the 5. speakers from my mic if I speak or move the mic. I am trying not to get any interference or sound output from the mic to the logitech speakers.
    Did any of you receive a similar problem.. and if so how did you resolve it. As I only want whatever comes IN from the MIC to only OUT to headset speakers.
    Thanks

  • How to ONLY use headset mic with iPhone Skype?

    Latest iOS, Latest Skype app. I own many wired headsets, from Apple original, to a Jabra call center headset, to Bose QC25 noise-canceling headphones with cord mic. No matter which of these I try, the iPhone's built-in microphones stay on when I make Skype calls. I'm using a headset because I chose the headset mic. Deliberately. I don't want any other mic to be on, for many reasons that should be completely obvious.
    If I'm sitting still with the iPhone near me on a table, this leads to the extraordinary sound quality that lead me to Skype in the first place. If the iPhone is in my pocket while I unload the dishwasher, any noise-isolation features of my headset mic go out the window; my activities are louder than my voice.
    Worse, with the Bose QC25 headphones, I don't hear my own voice looping back. With various headsets, the other party hears me much more faintly if I throw the iPhone under a pile of comforters or a pillow. As if Skype not only insists on using the iPhone mics in addition to the headset mic, but it is using auto level control to balance them.
    While Steve Jobs is my hero, one of the worst days in the history of computing was when he decided that the iPod interface should be dumbed down as far as possible on the theory that users are morons who can't tolerate user interface options. I'm not finding any options to control mics on the Skype app, a direct heir to this legacy.
    So, is this a "feature" or something I can fix?

    ok so playing around with it, i think i fixed it. in the surround mixer i turn off the source line in , and then select line in for rec?

  • PC Headset Mic not detected

    I have a Geemarc hearing aid compatible headset from http://www.sonicalert.com/products-listening-devices-CLA3.html and a splitter adapter from http://www.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/Audio-Cables/35mm-4-Position-to-2x-3- Position-35mm-Headset-Splitter-Adapter-Male-to-Female~MUYHSMFF connected to the iPad but the external headset mic isn't detected and the iPad continues using the internal mic.  The headset uses an electret mic.  I wear hearing aids and cannot use original Apple's earpods or in-ear headphones.  The headset works but the boom mic doesn't and the sound is only picked up by the internal mic.  Do you have any solution for this issue?

  • My Headset mic won't work.

    Hello Apple Support! As it is in the title my headset mic won't work, and I just bought them today . My headset is: Microsoft LifeChat lx-2000 (yes it is compatible with mac)
    Image
    Already done: Went to system preferences====> Sound ===> Input (did not see it in the input but in only in the output)
    Plugged the mic plug in the Symbole like so=> >O< (2 arrows pointing left and right and a circle in the center).
    Please help me!

    Uhhh, sadly they don't tell you which Macs it works on, seems only the older ones, this from the PDF...
    For a Macintosh PC:
    • Mac OS X v10.1-10.5.x
    • Analog audio input/output ports

  • Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues

    "Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic IssuesG Ok, i've seen so many posts on this issue but am now suffering from a headache after spending 3 hours trying everything I could find in google to fix this.
    The mic works when it wants. When it does work (rarely), its garbled or lagging like crazy.
    I have read, and searched this forums, but besides seeing "Doesn't work" or "Use daniel_k's drivers" i cant find any definate fix (or even links to something new that I haven't already tried).
    I tried daniel ks drivers and they seems to be pretty darn good, however it still did not correct my issue.
    I record music, and I play games. . . and absolutely love win7. . . but am forced to use XP (limiting my amount of memory used) when I want to do any of the above.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    &Re: Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues? The support pack does absolutely nothing to fix the mic issues.
    Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?
    No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
    No, there are no tweaks.
    If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
    It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and?sound?fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
    If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
    In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
    I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
    There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.
    Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.
    and
    Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
    Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
    Workarounds:
    - install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
    - limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
    - enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

  • Best Headset Mic for Podcasting in Garageband?

    What is the best headset mic for recording a podcast with Garageband '08?

    The Logitech ClearChat Pro USB headset works pretty well for me. Just make sure the mic is far enough away where you're not going to be breathing directly into it. To really make the tracks sound studio-quality, add a Compressor (with vocal presets) and possible a Gate to the vocal track of your podcast in GarageBand.

  • I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

    Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
    NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)

  • How can i disable the high pass filter on the headset mic on the iphone 4?

    i would like to use my iphone for recording and frequency measurement apps.  i have an adapter that allows me to use the headset mic input https://www.petersontuners.com/index.cfm?category=135&action=itemView&itemID=39 however, there is a high pass filter up to about 200Hz on both the headset mic input and the external mic.  one app apparently has a work around in ios6 http://blog.faberacoustical.com/2012/ios/iphone/finally-ios-6-kills-the-filter-o n-headset-and-mic-inputs/ but is there an iphone setting that could temporarily bypass the filter?  if not in ios6, if i upgrade to ios7 will i be able to do this?

    There is no setting on any iPhone to disable/by-pass this.

  • Audigy 2 ZS/Headset/5.1 speakers con

    Is there a way to have only the voice in games come out the headset and game sounds out the surround sound? I love the headset but the sound quality is not good for games. And I don't want voice coming out of the speakers because it is kind of weird and distracting to others, like having the phone on speakerphone; I don't want people listening in on conversations and such. So anyway, was just wondering if anybody has found a way to do this yet, if not what is the closest thing I am going to get to what I am describing.
    BTW the headset is standard, non-USB with one miniplug for mic and one for headphones. The speakers are the three miniplug orange/green/black kind.
    Thanks!

    Same problem with the Audigy (first edition). Here's what I've found so far:
    If I connect the headset to either the front or rear 5. -output- on the back of the Medusa amplifier, with the amp off, the rear distortion vanishes. I made the connection using the "cable D" that came with the headset.
    I've tested this with all three channels (plugging the headset into each front/rear/center output one at a time) to test the distinct speakers in the headset.
    No distortion from any of them, but the front and rear speakers are definitely different in terms of bass/treble - the bass seems much stronger from the front headset speakers, and treble is stronger from the rear ones. The rear speakers seem to have a thinner sound overall, possibly part of the distortion problem when connected to the amp.
    According to the Medusa manual, the front and rear speakers have the same specs (different from the center and subwoofers), but I'm not so sure after trying this.

  • Audigy 4 rear speakers prob

    Hi.
    I've got a problem with my sound.
    I use a Audigy 4 pro with the external unit and a Cambridge Soundworks (Creative) DTT3500 digital speakerset. The external unit only sends the digital signal to the speakerset.
    When I Test the speakers the sound "Rear right" comes from front right and "Rear left" comes from front left. Front speakers and center speaker sound works fine. Untill now I had no problems with my sound. I didn't change a thing. Speakers and software options haven't changed. The EAX console says 5. speakers. CMSS is off. I've installed the latest drivers and that also didn't make a difference. I think the problem started after I installed a logitech webcam but if I disconnect the webcam the problem stays.
    Help please.

    I had exactly the same problem. Only solution for me was to slightly withdraw the 4 pin plug from the Audigy 4.
    I guess that means it is now acting as a three pin plug, but works for me. I don't know why?:angry:

  • Sound Blaster Audigy with 5.1 Speakers prob

    I have 5. speakers with a sound blaster audigy sound card. I've installed all the drivers and additional programs but it looks like my 2 rear speakers are not working. I thought maybe it was some kind of speaker problem but when i switched the 2 rear with the 2 front then the rear worked but front didn't. In the surround mixer i tested the 5. and here are the results:
    - Front Left (Sound: OK, Speaker: OK)
    - Center (Sound: NO SOUND)
    - Front Right (Sound: OK, Speaker: OK)
    - Rear Left (Sound: OK, Speaker: NO - The sound comes from the center speaker)
    - Rear Right (Sound NO - It sounds very strange... bearly you can understand the words, Speaker: NO - The sound comes from the center speaker)
    The wired are set correctly i checked it and I dont know what it might be wrong. Drivers are ok and everything are installed. Help please.

    "I thought maybe it was some kind of speaker problem but when i switched the 2 rear with the 2 front then the rear worked but front didn't."
    Does this not indicate two of the speakers are not physically working? Or have a mis-interpreted?
