Creative Fatal1ty Pro Soundcard + Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Doesn't work.
The soundcard is fine, perfect. Crystal clear!
The headset is... fine! Also crystal clear.
The MIC on the headset. Doesn't work..?
I am running Vista Home Prem 32, and i've heard that it is possible to get the mic working, but takes a while. I bought my headset today, spent all day trying to sort out the mic, while i could've been playing the Call of Duty 5 MP PC Beta with my mates, but i couldn't speak to them cause of this.
Is there any fix? I am DESPERATE to get this working. Seriously.
I word from a mod or admin would be nice..
Thanks.

Hi Pottage7,

  • 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.

  • Creative Labs Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII

    I bought a set of Creative Labs Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII about a month ago and my son accidentally broke the mic. So I emailed Creative Labs customer service/tech support, not requesting a warranty replacement, but instead offering to pay for a new mic to be sent to me. This is the response I received:

    Explain this to me again. Why is it not possible for me to just buy a mic to replace the broken one? I have bought 3 sound cards and three headsets prior to the Fatal1ty MkII’s from Creative Labs and have had nothing but total praise for each of them. I bought my new Fatal1ty MkII’s about a month ago for $80 and now I’m told the only way to get a new mic is to spend another $80 and get another new set. Seriously Cooler Master can send me a nut for a heatsink mounting kit, Corsair can send me a new modular connector for my PSU but you, Creative labs, refuse to help me out with getting a new mic for a very expensive headset and I’M OFFERING TO PAY FOR IT. I live and support my family paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to shell out another $80 for a new headset, especially when the one I have now works just fine and just needs a mic. If I am forced to buy a new headset, it will not be a Creative Labs headset, which is very unfortunate since I completely love the Fatal1ty MkII’s and already miss them. A response would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok getting irritated now. I get the email ok'ing the replacement for $5 + $5 to ship it and I immediately reply agreeing and asking how I should pay. Then the next email is from your rep is almost a complete contradiction from the previous. I called the support # and was basically told the same thing the last email said and to call back Monday. I 'm not calling back just to get the run-around again so can someone actually help me out with an honest and straight answer. Here's the email thread:

  • Creative FATAL1TY 3.5mm gold-plated Circumaural Gaming Headset drivers ?!?!

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826158051
    I can't find any drivers for this device does anyone have them ?
    This is NOT the USB version of the headphones, it connects directly to the PCI card.

    Yeah I also couldn't find any. Have the same set as you I got it to go along with my new sound card SB x-fi titanium Fatality pro series.
    I don't know if you use ventrilo or not but mine seems to make my voice muffled when I talk now and I really don't notice a difference with this silencer thing I still get a little bit of fuzz when I talk.
    Edit: My bad mine isn't the same as yours mine is the gaming headset mk II, seems that creative is having a hard time with windows 7 or something.

  • MSI x58 PRO-E SLI+Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro

    Im thinking of buying a Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro for some better sound, problem is that I cant see if this is gonna fit in the top PCI-E slot because of the cooling block there.
    Does anyone know if this will fit or not?
    here is a pic of my current setup:
    http://twitpic.com/1zvxnz

     You asked if it would fit the other slot and I said it would, if the heatsink does in fact prevent you from using that slot then you can use any other available PCIe slot. A 1x PCIe card will work in any PCIe slot no matter what size the slot is.
     I took a look at the pictures shot from an angle at MSI website and it does look as if it may not fit there. I also noticed that on the 1156 MB that the same HS on them have very short fins in line with that slot, makes me wonder why the 1366 MB HS is not like that.
     I assume you don't have or can't borrow a card from family or friend to just test for fit in that slot?

  • Bad mic with Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII

    I bought the Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII about 2 weeks ago and since then, people have been telling me it looks like a talk thru a pillow. I use Teamspeak mostly and i dont know if the problem exist with the other communication programs. Its plugged into an ASUS G73 laptop. I never had that problem before with my 30$ logitech headset. I have tried playing with most settings but the problem still remains. I can hear everything perfectly but the mic just dosnt seem to work properly.
    Anyone could help me with this? Thanks

    Hi,
    Sorry about the mic issue, please write to our Customer Support. They will help you from there.

  • Computer not regonizing Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

    I bought the USB Fatal1ty gaming headset. I plugged it in and the computer doesn't regonize it. Was this supposed to come with a CD with drivers? If so, mine didn't.
    Where do I find drivers?
    Anyone else had this issue.
    Thanks.

    Hi Marnad1963,
    Can you try plugging the headset to another USB port? If you have multiple USB devices, please remove them to see if it helps.

  • Echoes using Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

    Hello, I got Fatal1ty gaming headset and have been using it for 2 weeks maybe, but today I started to hear echoes in it while talking on ventrilo and playing games. Is it my drivers I need to update or something? The headset havent been the victim of some blows or something and wasnt broken from beginning.
    Thanks

    Slightly the same problem only the echoing is on a MUCH bigger scale then just hearing a normal echo. If I am listening to music or listening to anything for that matter, the sound slowly slows down until it dies out and then not a half second later a loud screeching noise comes back in it's place like it is playing the music only if you didn't know it was music you wouldn't know what the heck this noise was. I have to restart my computer for it to go back to normal. It is very garbled and echos and is so harsh on my ears I have to remove my headset until i can get it to stop.

  • Fatal1ty Gaming headset on a Mac possible?

    Hello, I've had the USB Fatal1ty gaming headset (HS-1000) for a few weeks now and love it. I'm going to be going to college soon, and my parents bought me a Macbook to take with me, but the headset doens't appear to work. The light on the cord won't come on at all. I've seen websites selling a "Mac" version of this headset, and I was wondering if there is any way to change the firmware in the ones I currently own to allow them to work with a mac? If there is any other solution besides a firmware update, I'm willing to try that also. Thanks in advance.

    Using a headset needs several steps even needed if you have the latest computer or Mac OS X release. Please make sure to follow them in order.
    Download the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater
    Install it
    Launch it from Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth Updater
    Apply it to your adapter (takes very long).
    Start the Apple Bluetooth Assistant and select Headset. Do not use anything else!
    Make your headset Bluetooth visible. Look up the manual of your headset how to do that.
    Now select the headset in System Preferences > Sound.
    In most cases step 3 is missed. You have to start the already installed updater yourself (do not ask me why). Step 4 fails if your Bluetooth USB adapter is not supported by Apple and you have to go for a D-Link DBT-120 USB adapter.

  • Is the Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset HS-1000 for Mac compatible with a PC?

    Hi,
    I mistakenly purchased the Fatal1ty USB Gaming Headset HS-1000 for Mac instead of the PC version.
    Are these still compatible with my PC even though they say "for Mac"? They have a USB connector just like my headphones and I have had people say that they "should" work, but I wanted to verify this.
    I already had one pair that I purchased a while back for my PC and they work great but my wife wanted these also and I didn't realize there were two versions. If they will still work with a PC, I will just keep them. I just didn't want to open them up and find out that they don't.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I found something else out , the MIC is recoginized at startup when i have the problem , but not the headphones .
