Fatal1ty Headphone Mic problems

I have the Fatal1ty Creative Headset/mic and for some reason the mic will not work. I checked under support for a driver and could only find the USB Fatal1ty Creative headset listed. Mine does not have a USB and hasnt since i got it. Any suggestions? Thank you (I checked to make sure the mic was on, it is. I am using windows vista 32 bit.

I have the same exact problem. Weird thing is it works perfectly fine on my roommate's computer who has Vista 32 bit, but it doesn't work on mine while I have Win7 64 bit. Still haven't found a driver or anything helpful.

Headphone jack problems limited to the Zen Mic

My first generation Zen Micro's headphone jack recently crapped out and given that the 5G hard dri've is just about full I am looking to get a 20G Zen Sleek. Does anyone know if the headphone jack problem seen on the Zen Micro has been as issue with other Creative MP3 players or has Creative started beefing up the headphone jacks? It would be good to know before I spend $250 on a new player that will fail in less than a year.

From what I remember there was one post about a broken jack on a Sleek, but hard to know if this was a troublemaker or not. I've not seen any others, but it is early days yet. Equally I hope Creative have learned from a failed design on two players now...

Win 8 - How to use StereoMix and Headphones Mic at the same time?

I am using Windows 8 64 bit and believe I may have an IDT driver problem.
I need to enable StereoMix and my Headphones Mic at the same time. I know this was previously possible with windows xp and windows 7.
What happens is If I enable either Headphones Mic (Logitech headphones with Mic) or StereoMix the other one becomes " current;ly unavailable" I cannot get them both to work together. I can get StereoMix and the Internal Mic to work together ( both enabled at the same time) but the sound quality is bad because the internal mic picks up noises from the PC. I need to have both my headphones mic and stereo mix enabled at the same time.
The driver I'm using is the one provided by HP with the laptop. It is called sp59620.exe
Would another IDT driver solve the problem? Can you think of another reason this is not working?
Here are my specs.
System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavillion G7-2251dx
OS Windows 8 64 bit
CPU AMD A-8 4500M
Memory 8 Gigabytes DDR3 sdram
Graphics Card Discrete ATI Radeon HD 7640G with 2 Gigs
Sound Card IDT Audio
Monitor(s) Displays 17.3
Screen Resolution 1600x900
If you cannot help, where else should I look? i have tried Windows and Microsoft forums and no one can give me an answer.
Thank you.

I have tried the instructions in that video and I cant get passed the very bad feedback i get when telling my recording device to Listen. His secone instruction from his notes here
["Right Click the Realtech HD audio device and set as default if its not already.
(note you may want to turn off any powered speakers you may have to prevent feedback.)
-Select the Recording Tab at the top of the window.
-Select the Stereo Mix device and set it to default if its not already.
-Right click and select Properties.
-Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
-Change the drop-down box to the entry for USB headset and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
-click ok to dismiss the window.
-Right click on the USB headset microphone device and select properties.
-Select the Listen Tab at the top of the window.
-Change the drop-down box to the entry for the Realtech HD Audio device and check the Listen to this device checkbox.
-click ok to dismiss the window.
So, essentially, the game audio will play through the Realtec, your mic is also set to play to the Realtec. both audio streams are now part of Stereo Mix. Stereo Mix is being listened to by your headset allowing you to hear the game and your voice.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't know about turning off any powered speakers.. the only speakers I have besides the headphones are the internal laptop speakers. I get the same feedback if i have the headphones plugged in or not.

Anyway to get combo headphone/mic port to work on Win7 (iMac 27" '13)

Hi,
I just ordered a split cable for the 3,5mm headphone/mic port to be able to use my headset. OS X recognizes the headset - it changes from the internal mic to the external, so no problem with that. But when using Windows 7 (Bootcamp, not virtual) it's not possible to select the external mic, there's only iMac's internal mic listed in "Recording devices".
No doubt this is a driver issue, but is there any solution for it? And yeah, I could buy USB headset or external audio interface, but let's forget those options for now. Sorry if asked (and it surely is) many times before, couldn't find anything with google.
Thanks!

Help with mic problems please!

Currently I have a Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS sound card with I-Trigue L3500 speakers. I have had this system for a bit now and have never needed to use a mic till recently.
The system has a wired volume/bass control that plugs directly into the sub. It works fine but when I plug a headset into it I can hear sounds fine but can't use the mic function. The controller is clearly marked with 2 stereo mini plugs that seem to be labled with the uni'versal headphone/mic symbol and it seems so dummy proof, guess it isn't?
I'm using a Labtec headset, not the greatest one, but one that sold for about $25 at Best Buy which I guess makes it a mid level one at best.
Please any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!

i have the same problem. i am using an audigy 2 zs soundcard with a t7700 speaker system. i'd like to connect my mic to the volume control unit (because there is a microphone jack) ... but i am wondering why there is no cable connecting the subwoofer with any microphone jack on the sound card.
this brings me to to following question:
FOR WHAT PURPOSE IS THE MICROPHONE JACK ON THE VOLUME CONTROL UNIT?

Audigy 2 ZS/ Teamspeak/ Mic Problems/ SOL

I gather from other posts im not the first and probably not the last to have problems with my SB card and Teamspeak Mic function, after MANY painful hours of reading this forum, downloading drivers, reinstalling software and countless tweaks to my SB mixer and Teamspeak options I finally got my Mic to work right. Hopefully my pain will help someone one else, I was ready to give up on my Mic/SB card ever working right till I stumbled on what appears to be the fix to to Mic problem, I made so many changes I will list them all as Im not sure that it isnt the combination of any or all things that made it work,
My set up, front Mic and Headphone jack on computer,
-Go to SB mixer function, above the first volume knob is a red arrow, click on it, it will say digital only output, SELECT this option, turn volume up
-reading left to right on the middle part of the mixer, turn the function ON the first 3, turn off the the following 3.
- the 6th funtion should be set to microphone, click on red arrow above mic picture and turn on mic boost function.
-Teamspeak setting, go to options screen select "wave" sound, click ok and adjust in and out volumes on settings panel.
This did it for me, I went from no mic, to fuzzy mic, to crystal clear mic after playing with things for 2 days.
I have new faith in my SB card and hope others are smarter than me and figure it out with out all the research good luck.

In the Creative Mixer on the right hand side you should see a separate column with a "Rec" heading. There should be a small upside-down triangle. Click on that and you should get a list. Choose "Analog Mix" which includes Microphone, Line-In, etc. Then to the left, un-mute the source you want.

Happy New Year to all.
I have installed 2 ZS card. Output works well. I want to record a couple of old vinyl albums. I cant either through Creative Surround mixer or through windows get either a Line-in or microphone input to select from. I have tried everything but this forum. If anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Headphone mic not being reconised

So ive been having htis problem with my compute im am using the desktop version of skype but it wont reconise my headset mic the headsets are kunais wireless buti use the lead what gose into it so it dosnt be wireless if u get what i mean
it only pics up my laptop mic what really annoys me as my laptop mic is really bad and my headset mic is really good

i have the same problem with two of my ipod touches 2G and nano 4th generation, with my newly purchased headphone mic remote set. called the apple expert, he suggested me to reset them first, and if still not working then restore them to their original settings with itunes. and if still not working, then need to bring everything to any apple store to see an apple genius.
i reset them all. everything works fine only when plugging in the headphone set for the first time, then none of them detect the headphone set again.
restore them. everything work probably until i transferred music and videos back to all the ipods. now they sometime detect the headphone set and sometime they don't.
anyways, seems like there're some kind of software conflicts. so, i will bring all my ipods and the brand new headphone mic set to talk to an apple genius.

Headphone mic damage from sweat or water after working out

I am on my 3rd set of apple headphones w mic. I like to listen to music through my iPhone at the gym or while running and think headphone mic is getting damage from sweat and/or water. Yes I could use regular headphones, but I like being able to take a call if one comes through. I could also try to sweat less, but that's another discussion.
Does anyone have this same problem or know of any 3rd party covers for the mic that work well? Thanks.

You take calls at the gym? You probably should not do that; seems rude.
I would go with the regular headphones and let any calls go to voicemail. It is likely you and the person calling can survive without contact for the time you are in the gym.

Ipod touch headphone mic not being detected.

I have an ipod touch 3G 32GB and I use the headphones that came with the product (they have a built in remote and microphone). I just bought the ipod touch, and as soon as i try to record some voice momos, my ipod touch tells me there is no microphone inserted, although the headphones (with the microphone and remote built in) have been inserted. Same happens when I try to call people on Skype. Somebody please help me.

HP Envy Phoenix h9 Headphone Jack problem

When i plug in my headset, no sound comes from it, but instead the speaker plays the sound. I realised that only my mic jack is working and when i plug in the headset's headphone jack, the computer says that there is no headphone plugged in. This is very frustrating as when i do a trouble shoot on the audio playback, it says:
The peripheral does not appear to be plugged in. Check the connection. Proceed to next step to finish.
I chose the option: Speakers/Headphones - IDT HIgh Definition Audio CODEC
The jack i plug it in is on the front of the computer, on the top where there is the headphone, mic and 2 usb places to put them in. My headphones dont show up when i go to control panel, hardware and sound, sound. The Device: Speakers/Headphones show that it is not plugged in. I have a feeling that the headphones jack somehow spoilt. It was still working earlier before i switched the computer off ( i took out the headset's mic usb and headphones jack before switching off ). After a while i switched on my computer and realised that there was the headphones problem. I tried using the headset on another computer and it worked. I tried using another headphone on the HP ENVY but it also did not work.
This question was solved.

Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone. Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
However, there is one very annoying problem I am having. When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic. I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
Here are the tests I ran:
Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear. Call result, pretty muffled voice. I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone. This definatelyimproved call quality. Was louder and clearer, but not perfect. I'd rate it at 8/10.
Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic. This was a further improvement in sound quality. Rating would be 9/10.
Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole. Very low volume and muffled sound. Rating a 4/10.
Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic. This gave perfect call quality and volume. Rating a 10/10!
Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone. Call quality was really nice. Id give it 9/10.
Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7. Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand. Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7. Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
Speaker phone on, placed face down on table. Volume a bit low, a little muffled. Call quality 6/10.
Speaker phone on, place face up on table. A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled. Call quality is 5/10.
Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection. It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality. And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good. That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
Is anyone else seeing the same issues? I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
Thanks in advance for the help!

9 month old Zen Micro with the headphone jack problem

So, I've been putting up with the headphone jack problem for a few months now, and i've finally decided to get it repaired or fixed. I emailed Creative a few months back and they told me to send it in. My question is, since I am out of warranty, will they repair the unit or send me a whole new one all together?
thanks,
mike

Actually, I just sent in my 7-month old Micro in b/c of the headphone jack problem and they sent me a brand new shrink-wrapped one. They <EM>didn't </EM>charge me for anything. All I had to do was wait 2 weeks for them to send it back to me (grueling but doable) and pay about 2.44 for shipping the micro to them. So now I'd have three batteries if it weren't for the fact that one of them swelled up; I have NO IDEA how that happened. So yeah I guess the point of the post is that you don't get charged anything even if you're out of the 90-day labor warranty.

Iphone headphone mic no longer working since lion upgrade

Hi All,
Since upgrading my Early 2k8 Macbook Pro to Lion my iPhone 4 headphone mic no longer works - the headphones themselves are fine (works with the phone, mic as well).
Worked fine before he upgrade.

Petition: Make the headphone jack problem's status publ

Dear CEO of Creative Labs [I still have to find out how to contact the CEO]:
I was very excited about buying your product, the Creative Nomad Zen Micro, as an alternati've to competitors such as Apple's iPod mini and the Rio Carbon. I was impressed by the numerous features, the looks, and the size of the player, which could fit into the palm of your hand.
Unfortunately, I came across a serious problem with the player that could have serious consuquences on my (and many other people's) buying descisions. There seems to be a defect in the headphone jack of the player, causing it to pop loose and make the sound intermittently come through only one of the headphones, in a few months or even a matter of days, making the player unusable.
Countless members of the Creative community in the forums on your website have gone through three to four Micros with this problem, as well as people commenting on the player at review websites such as Cnet. There have been numerous messages sent to customer support about this problem, but it has all been attributed to user error.
If you just take a look at the Creative forum, there are so many people with this problem that it can't possibly be a rare manufacturing defect, especially considering the fact that quite a few people have gone through 2 or 3 micros already, all with the same problem. We are not asking you to immediately fix the problem, we understand that it would probably entail a large and costly effort to do so. What we do want to know is that we want a public announcement of the problem, whether Creative has confirmed it or not, and what is being done/not being done about it, and perhaps customer tips about how to avoid it. There have been rumors that the headphone jack as been supposedly reinforced by a metal plate, and others... Many potential creative customers like such as me are left in the dark about what most forum users refer to as the "dreaded" headphone jack problem. We would like to know about it, what to do to avoid it, and whether or not something is being done/has been done to new products to prevent this problem from happening. Again, contacting support has not answered our questions.
If I, (and countless other potential customers), are uncertian about this problem, we might as well give up a few features like the FM tuner and buy and iPod mini or another competing product free of such a problem. We would very much appreciate it if you would publicly release information about this problem.
Please contact me at the address shown. [Yes, this IS a snail-mail letter] We are all looking forward to a reply. For more information, please refer to the petition here:
[http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=34476]
Sincerely,
The Creative Forum Community
Any suggestions/comments/corrections? (This is just a quick first draft) Please sign here for the petition. Also, you could post "testimonials" about your opinion on the headphone jack problem. I'm not expecting a reply from the CEO him/herself but I hope to get a better response than just an email to support.Message Edited by CreativeHead on 03-7-2005 02:03 PM

There are threads ongoing on similar topics. This is not a suitable topic for this forum.
I will pass on any comments from the other threads and original post in this one, but I'm closing this topic and any further petitions like this as it will just result in "Creative-bashing" and unproducti've comments.

Headphone jack problem with Zen Micro

Hi.
I bought my zen micro on April 4 and everything was fine until a few weeks ago
when I got the headphone jack problem. When I touch the plug that is connected
with the player, it makes a weird noise and the volume decreases and goes back to normal
and it keeps doing it.
Can I get a/s for no charge since it's a yr hardware warranty?
P.S.) I can see there are some ppl who are getting upset by this same problem here.
