Desktop won't detect Turtle Beach USB Headset

It's been around 2-3 hours since I started, and all I have managed to do was make my driver unusable and sound to not work.
No idea why the USB won't detect, but it seems to be on the computer end and not the headset.

could i get an answer?

Poor microphone quality with Turtle Beach PX5 headset over Bluetooth and Ventrilo

I'm having a problem where I cannot seem to get good microphone audio out of my Turtle Beach PX5 Bluetooth headset when using my iMac and Ventrilo under OS X Snow Leopard.
In my testing, Skype test calls seem to be ok, but I'm told by those listening to me on Ventrilo that my voice has a distinctly distored sound, as if I'm swallowing the microphone or the sound is highly digitized. For comparison, I've been using a USB-based Polycom CX300 speakerphone that listeners have said sounds great.
I've also noticed that I cannot get the audio input level of headset to register more than about 50% on the meter, despite having the level slider set to maximum.
It's difficult for me to tell if it's the headset, Bluetooth on the Mac, Ventrilo or some other odd combination. I'm going to try passing the devices through to Windows 7 on Parallels and test Ventrilo from there to see if there's any difference.
Any suggestions from folks better versed on the Mac than I am would be greatly appreciated.

I can add a data point: this is the same thing that happens with the Harmon Kardon BT headphones--which, amazingly, just started working today for some reason I don't understand. It's almost as if the bi-directional audio requires a different profile to acommodate the bidirectional nature of the audio.
More research may be required.

Satellite L505D-S5983 and Turtle Beach gaming headsets

Do Turtle Beach headsets work with Satellite L505D-S5983 laptops? I was thinking about getting a PC Ear Force Z1 Head set, but I wasn't sure if it would be compatable with my laptop. I have Windowsx

Hi! Why do you think it's hardware?? Have you tried to restore back to factory? Have you tried to boot with the system repair disc??http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-a-system-repair-disc-to-restore-windows.html

Desktop Manager not detecting BB via USB

Ok I have an issue... this never happened before, but its really annoying now lol
I hope someone out there has had a similar problem... the friggen answer is probably staring me right in the face, but i'm just missing it.
Anyways only my Blackberry Desktop Software will not detect my Curve 8900 via my USB cable on WIndows Vista 64-bit. When the cable is plugged in, the phone charges, I am able to access my memory card that I have in the phone within Windows without a problem. Its just the Desktop Manager will not find the phone via USB.
The phone works fine connecting to Desktop Manager using Bluetooth. I can sync up no problem there. Its just the Desktop Manager will not find the phone via USB.
Let me stress the fact that use used to work... I don't get why this has happened.
Nothing appears in my Event Viewer, I get no error messages. The same phone, with the same USB cable works just fine on a Windows XP computer. Hell, it even works on the same computer, within a VMWare environment using the same USB port tried on the Windows Vista installation.
I have tried all the steps listed at this link:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02640&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
nothing seems to want to work
Does this make sense to anybody out there? lol
Let me list you my specs to make this clear
Operating System: Windows Vista Business 64-bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 810
RAM: 8GB
etc..
etc.. lol

Did ya miss me??

Hello prot0fein,
So I take from your post that the device and the computer communicate but only through your VM on the computer or using mass storage mode on the host. Am I correct about this?
Can you tell me what devices in device manager appear/disappear when you connect and disconnect your device on the affected computer?
Also, have you tried this article?

My G4 won't detect an expansion USB

Hey all-
Looks like alot of us early adopters are on the boards tonight. Here's my problem;
I did a clean erase and install on my G4, and everything is pretty good so far. however my G4 can no longer read several of my devices I use (Scanner and tablet), which I had built in a new USB expansion in the expansion slot. I do not remember the company who I got the expansion from to go try and hunt down a driver.
Any suggestions? It's weird not being able to use my tablet! Let me know when you can!

Nobody else having a similar problem?

MacBook Air: automatic selection of USB headsets for sound output

Is there a way to let the MacBook Air automatically detect an external USB headset,
and switch from internal speakers to the USB headset, and reverse to speakers when the
USB headset is disconnected ?
It's nice that you can manually select the output in System Preferences / Sound,
but it would be nice also to be able to make the computer use the USB headset
whenever it's plugged in.
Same for the microphone (sound input selection, for USB headsets with a microphone).

USB hub works fine on my 23 Cinema display with the Air, haven't tried the others but I use the USB on display to plug in my mobile broadband ( live out in the sticks and don't get cable or DSL ) and it lets me switch between my Air and MB Pro fine.

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

USB Headset won't work along with Audi

First off, when searching for this problem, I saw many posts explaining why USB headsets won't work with a soundcard cause they basically have one built in to them. I understand this.
This is not my problem.
This is my problem:
I have a Plantronics Gamecom Pro USB headset that worked great when I was using onboard sound. It would automatically intercept the first sound signal it could pick up. So if I plugged it in first, before starting a game, the headset would pick up all sound from the game.. nothing to my external speakers.
If I started the game first with the headset unplugged, then plugged them in then started Ventrillo, then the headset would pick up the Ventrilo sound but the game sound still came from my speakers. Perfect set-up.
However, after adding an Audigy 4, the headset no longer works at all. No sound, no mic.. I plugged the headset ito my laptop and it works fine so I am pretty sure it's some sort of conflict with the Audigy 4.
I'm not too much of a techy but I'm thinking perhaps the Audigy 4 keeps a lock on the sound signal somehow, not letting the headset pick it up on the USb port?
Does anyone else have a problem using a USB headset not WITH but ALONG SIDE an Audigy?Message Edited by CroakerJoe on 0-2-2006 03:55 PM

I have the same usb headset and am having the same issue with my pc. I am running the X-fi Platinum. The plantronics are supposed to be a plug and play, but when i plug it in, the headset is getting power, is recognized by the pc and other applications, but will not play any sounds at all, and it works on my other machine with an older card. It seems to be overridden by the new card. when i was running the old audigy i could use one or the other (not both at the same time) which is to be expected with this type of headset, but i did not expect the new card to totally not allow the head set to work at all. This is causing me trouble as i use my rig for alot of gaming and LAN parties. Speakers are often not allowed, and the plantronics gamecom pro headset is a sweet set for gaming. If anyone sees this and can provide a fix. I would greatly appreciate it.

System Doesn't detect USB headset after suspend/resume

Sometimes (this seems to happen randomly), after a resume from suspend my USB headset is no longer detected in gnome. It doesn't show up in the sound settings output tab, and unplugging/replugging the headset does nothing. It does seem to show right up if I run pulseaudio -k to restart pulseaudio. It doesn't seem to matter if I suspended with the headset plugged in or not.
Has anyone else run into this issue, any workarounds or fixes?

Let me quote archwiki here:
Standby / Suspend to RAM
In the ideal case, running sudo pm-suspend should initiate suspend to memory, meaning that all running state will be preserved in RAM and all components other than RAM will be shut down to conserve power. Pressing the power button should initiate a resume from this state.
In some cases, it is possible that running pm-suspend causes hangs or other issues. This may be due to specific "misbehaving" modules. If you know which modules could cause such issues, adding a SUSPEND_MODULES config to /etc/pm/config.d/modules of the form
SUSPEND_MODULES="uhci_hd button ehci_hd"
should cause these modules to be specifically unloaded before suspend and reloaded after resume.
To configure invoking pm-suspend automatically on power events like laptop lid close, please refer to Acpid.
and exactly those 2 modules you should add in the same way.. because those are responsible for usb... helped for me...

My X230 won't detect any USB devices..

hello all,
I'm from Indonesia, a few days ago I bought lenovo X230 5FA.. but every I pluged in every USB devices, it won't detect on my x230..
the devices is:
1. Sandisk Cruser Swicth 16GB.
2. USB Modem Huawei E169.
note that I use the latest driver provided by the web support device..
can anyone help to fix it?
thanks and sorry if my english not good :-P

What operating system are you running on your E330 and X230?
The answer may be found by figuring out why it works on the E330...
Have you tried to use any other devices in the USB ports besides those 2?
And were the recognized?
Did these devices ever work with your X230?
You could try to roll back to a previous driver update and see if that helps?

Logitech USB headset not detected

When I run lsusb | grep Headset, it shows that the usb headset is plugged in(grep audio did not work).
Sample output:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:0a0c Logitech, Inc. Clear Chat Comfort USB Headset
But here's the problem, when I execute aplay -l, it gives me no sound cards found, though I even have a intel intergrated audio sound card.
I have gnome installed, so it uses pulseaudio, so I can't use alsamixer, but is I go into sound settings, it only says dummy output.
Other things to note:
- Do not have gnome-extra installed
- Have extra gst media codects
Thanks in advance,
Ahad

Computer won't detect BB Curve

Hi folks.
This has been an issue for some time now. My PC won't detect my BB Curve 8330. It used to, but one day it just stopped.
I just installed the latest BB Desktop Software (7.1), and I also upgraded to Windows 7 (and got the updates) and it didn't help. I've also restarted, pulled the battery, checked USB cords.
HEEEEEEELP!!!!
PLEEEEEASE!!!

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

Imac running Yosemite won't detect external display

I previously was using a 2008 iMac desktop and running OS X Yosemite. I was using dual monitors (other monitor being Insignia brand) and everything worked fine. Since this was an earlier mac version, I was using the Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to connect. Last week, I got a brand new iMac (Mid 2014 version). I am running OS X Yosemite as well, but now it won't detect any displays. I'm now using the Thunderbolt cable to connect so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. But I have used that same Thunderbolt cable before on my macbook and it worked just fine.
I've tried restarting, resetting the PRAM and everything. I don't know what else to do. Help!

Thanks for the reply, but tried everything and it still won't work. Rebooted, installed updates, cleared PRAM, everything. It will not detect the displays at all. Maybe there is something wrong with my VGA cable.

I told Time Machine no and now it won't detect my external drive...

Whenever I would plug in my external drive it would pop up with a Time Machine dialog asking if I would like to set it up for backup. I usually hit the ask me later option. Well last time I just hit no. It was starting to annoy me. Well now, when I plug in that drive, it won't detect it or pop up on the desktop. It works on my laptop. How the heck do I get it back?! I have files I really need to transfer!
I would appreciate any info you can give. My i7 is my first Mac in 10 years and I am a bit lost.

As far as I know the drive should still appear as an icon on your Desktop even if you turned down Time Machine's request to use it as the TM backup drive. What's on the external drive right now? Is it just stuff that you dragged and dropped onto it for backup? But if you've used it as a Time Machine backup on your laptop then maybe that's part of the reason you're having difficulty getting it to show up.
P.S. If you want TM to ask you again if you want to use this external drive as a TM backup, go to Applications and open Time Machine and then go to Time Machine preferences and make the selection you desire.
Regards,
Steve M.

10.5.8 won't detect any external hard drives

I want to update my 10.5.8 Macbook Pro which I bought in 2008. It runs incredibly slow, and I want to reformat it before updating with Snow Leopard. The problem is that my computer won't detect any external disc drives, so I can't back up my important files. Is there any way to fix this, or is there something I'm missing?
I'm also wondering if I'll be able to reformat without my original OSX install disc that came with my computer, and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

If you are going to be upgrading to OS X Snow Leopard, the installer for that should be able to format your drive for you before you do the installation. I'm assuming that you have those CD's for your computer as you need discs to be able to ugrade to Snow Leopard. What happens when you plug in an external drive? Does it just not recognize the drive, or do you just not have it selected to show the drive on your desktop? With Finder being the top window, click on the Finder Menu and select preferences > select general in the tabs at the top and then make sure that External discs is checked.
