Headset and Audigy 2

Well I just got my NEW Logitech 530's connected up to my A. 2-ZS but int the process I had to take my Headset connector OUT of the Line Out on the Card to run a Line Out to the speaker amp in the Sub - NOW the only way to get sound to my Headset is to go behind the puter and unplug the OUT and replace it with my Headset jack - - - OR - - - there is a Headset IN on the Right Front Speaker.......BUT it would take an adapter and about 6' line to get there.
Please tell me what and how you guys have solved this "problem"?
TKS Michael

sounds like i'm overstating the obvious but if its a A2 zs theirs a headphone socket
in the middle of the external unit.
ps.
why use logitech speakers? with creative speakers you might not have this problem

USB Headset and Audigy 2 probl

I've got an Audgy 2 soundcard, with the latest drivers installed, and I'm running across a problem that I believe has to do with a USB headset I just purchased. It's just a standard Audigy 2 card, I've had it for awhile and I'm using the latest drivers for it. The card works great, but for some reason lately it's just been putting sound out over two speakers instead of all fi've. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the headset, which is a Logitech USB Premium Headset 350 model thing. If I uninstall and reinstall the creative console it'll work again. I've noticed when it's not working the creative audio console won't let me select what type of speaker setup I have to sync with the windows one. And by "won't let me select" I mean there are no options at all to choose from. I'm pretty sure this is caused by the USB headset, but I wanted to get another opinion. Am I pretty much screwed if I want to keep using this headset?

My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
please help, thx.

If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
Another option:
Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
--> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
= You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

Audigy 2 problems with mic headset and Teamsp

What settings and what are they under do I have to change to make Teamspeak work properly with my Logitech Precision PC Gaming Headset and City of Heroes? Everyone wants me to leave Teamspeak because when I go into the channel it creates this massi've noise. Or, when I played with settings to try to fix it they can barely hear me. Everyone was trying to help me with my settings but we were getting no where. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 and the latest drivers and programs from SB installed. What needs to be muted, not muted, what needs to selected for mic settings and not. PLEASE HELP! :-)
Terry

I have a Dell XPS Gen 2. I was using the mic/headphone jacks in the front of the computer. When I switched the mic/headphone to the back of the computer in the soundcard, everyone heard me fine. Go into both your Creative Labs Surround Mixer control panel and make sure you have your mic selected on Record to Mic. I have the following muted in there with the X: Midi Synth, CD Audio, CD-Digitial, and ALSO Microphone. Keep Line-In and Wave umuted. In your XP Sound control panel, the same thing. Also go into advanced Mic settings there and make sure the DB boost is checked. In TS under Settings/Options/Sound Devices I have it set to Wave and then both SB Audigy is selected for input/output. Settings/Options/Sound Input/Output Settings I have Push To Talk selected. I'm sure now that I have it working I can play with it some more to get Voice Activation tweaked to work well, but I'm happy that they can hear me without a giant helicopter sound coming through anymore. :-) Let em know how it goes.

XiFi and Audigy Take Over Input and Output from Bluetooth Head

I am having trouble with my bluetooth headset when making phone calls in any VoIP application (Skype, Yahoo!). I usually use the headset as the input and output for my VoIP bits so I can move away from my desk, etc... First, it worked under XP with my Audigy no problem. I bought a XiFi and installed the latest drivers and it began stealing my audio. Oddly, it does not do it until the call connection is made (so I hear the ringing in the BT headset and once the call is answered the system reverts to the mic, a Logitech USB, and main speakers, directly plugged to the soundcard).
I decided to put my audigy back in, because I was planning on upgrading to Vista and thought the XiFi may be bad. I did a fresh Vista install with the Audigy and everything worked (i.e. audio for phone calls stayed in my BT headset). I then upgraded from the Microsoft drivers to Creative?s Vista drivers and the problem then happened with the Audigy as well.
This leads me to believe that some sort of regression happened in the latest drivers. Everything else works great, games, movies, etc? but this is a show stopper because I want to use my bluetooth headset. I tried to downgrade to the Microsoft drivers but the card would no longer work. I have tried a driver install only, then added the software, removed that and did a full install. This is with BETA drivers on Vista, but the problem existed in XP as well which were not BETA drivers AFAIK. I have updated to the latest Bluetooth drivers as well with no luck.
I have confirmed this on two of my PCs and a friend of mine is having the same problem (XP, XiFi) so he went and bought a Skype phone which works correctly.
Thanks in advance

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

I am having trouble connecting my bluetooth headset on the ipad 1. I have now been told that Apple is only allowing several headsets to be used with Ipad. Is this correct? I have a grundig headset and a plantronics headset but these can both not be found

I have an iPhone 4S, and just now the sound quit working. It works with the headset and if I put it on speaker, but not anyway else. The music won't send sound out, the purine calls do the same. I reset to the original settings, nothing works.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

HDX 16 Headset and Mic problem in Vista64

Good afternoon,
I have a long-standing problem with my e-dimensional AudioFX headset and my HP HDX 16, vista64 laptop. The issue is:
I cannot hear myself speak into the mic from my headset. ie. no sound is being sent from the mic back into the headset or external speakers. Everything else works just fine. My ventrilo partners can hear me and I can hear them. I just cannot hear myself.
When I plug the headset into my older Windows XP Pro machine, it works perfectly. I hear all ambient sound from the mic in my headset.
This is really difficult to work this way. I have tried disabling the AndreaElectronics microphone enhancements but this has not worked. I have tried adjusting the recording and playback properties many many times and many different ways but still can't get ambient sounds to feed back into the headset. I am reluctant to fool around with the IDT Audio drivers/services.
Can anyone offer some guidance/troubleshooting help? I'm totally out of ideas now.
Regards,
Starsider

Update:
I think I have found the solution but it was for a similar problem on a Dell machine. Here is the link to that forum:
http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/865259.htm
I think the solution involves enabling mic monitoring in the registry but I don't know exactly how to do it. If there are any registry experts reading this, I would greatly appreciate your help. I am reluctant to make any registry changes per the instructions in the link above since that was for a Dell computer and my registry is slightly different from the instructions given.
My exact model is the HP HDX 16 running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Model number X-16 1155CA.

Bluetooth Headset and Vista

I have a Samsung SBH170Bluetooth Headset, a T60 and Vista Ultimate operating system. The Computer finds the headset and it sends a test signal to the headset. How do I get sound from movies or streaming audio or music files to play in the headset. I don't see options to use the headset as a playback device
Thanks
Mike

Go to Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices (or whatever it is called in Vista), and change the output there.
Normally if it comes out of the speakers and you plug headphones in, it should automatically transfer to the headphones.
With BT I assume you need to do a little more work.

My ipod nano paired twice with my headset and now nothing. The headset states bluetooth profile is A2DP, AVRCP, HSP and HFP whatever this means.

Problem since lollipop, headset and "smart" flip cover

Hi,
Have some problem since upgrading to lollipop. First it was the headset that didnt wanna connect, but solved it with a factory reset on both the headset and telephone. But i still has a problem with the flip cover, guessing that with the update the config for smart connect (or NFC) was resetted. Now the problem is that the flip cover is glued with a sticker on the phone so i cant get it of to try and reconnect it.
The problem is that it does not longer interact with the phone e.g. when the flip cover is closed the phone screen would normaly ajust to the little screen on the cover but it doesnt, it just shows regular background.
Does anyone know a smart way to fix this?

I own the SCR24 smart style cover for my Z3 dual and indeed it's fixd to the back side of phone by sticker, but from my own experience you can carefully remove the cover by pulling it off slowly from the phone, and the sticker will be still functional to be glued again to the phone.
So what I suggest is: try removing the cover, reconnect it to your phone via NFC tag, then re-attach it to the phone.
Let me know if you tried this successfully.
