HP VT501AA USB Stereo Headset nothing happens when I plug them in

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP s3712f desktop.
My sister's computer.
She bought this headset a while back and could never get it to work.  I thought I'd give it another try.
When you insert it into the USB port nothing happens and I can find no mention of the device anywhere in the system.  It's like the computer doesn't recognize that it's been plugged in or maybe I need a driver (hp doesn't have any on their site though, I've checked).
Anyway, if snyone knows how I might fix this it would be appreciated.  It's not a huge concern but it bugs me that it doesn't work.  If nothing else I could use the thing at work.

tcrowe30,
What model HP PC are you using?
Gadgetgal,
It might be a setting in the Realtek HD Audio Manager or perhaps you need a driver update.  Go to www.realtek.com for the latest audio driver.
BTW, I have the 2159 connected via HDMI and when I plugin my headset the speakers go silent.

  • I've downloaded iTunes on this computer but now nothing happens when I plug my phone in the USB port.

    I had a software update on my phone and tapped it to start the update then decided to cancel it. Now it will not let me back in my phone and has a picture that is telling me to plug into iTunes. I had to download iTunes on this computer first because it wasnt on this computer. It has downloaded, but nothing happens when i plug my phone up to the USB port in my computer. The picture telling me to plug into iTunes is still on my phone.

  • I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

    I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

    Hi johnsmiff99,
    That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

    Hi Chefd,
    The USB port is not replaceable. I am glad to hear you have gotten it installed. If you have issues with connectivity you may want to consider buying a newer printer. Have a good day

  • Nothing happens when I plug my Ipod in...?

    My first Ipod touch broke the other day so I went to the Apple store today and had it replaced. They said whenever I get home just plug it in to the computer and it should sync fine..I did so, nothing happened. After I already had Itunes up I plugged in my ipod and it made that noise it makes whenever you plug it in then nothing happened at all. I tried going under file and syncing Ipod and it won't let me click on the sync ipod link. I have no idea whats wrong. I know my itunes account is activated under a different email address than the one I gave them at my store when they gave me my knew one because I just recently got a new email. I tried changing my email under my itunes account and it said it changed but when I went on again to try it was still the same old email. I really don't think the email thing has anything to do with it but I can't figure out why it won't sync at all. Help please!

  • HT1476 How do I get my iPhone 5 charger to charge my phone? Nothing happens when i plug it in.

    My Iphone 5 won't charge when i plug it in, there is no message to say it isn't recognised or anything it just won't charge. I replaced my charger and am still having the same problem, could someone please help me.

    Hi Luci,
    If the iPhone that you are attempting to charge has the battery completely deleted of all charge it will take a period of time before the charge that is coming from the charging source gives the device enough charge to the device such that the display is able to then display that the charger is charging sucessfully. If you plug the device into a charger (again if the device is completely drained of battery charge) and it doesn't immedateily show that it's chraging that is completely consistent with how the device is expected to work. Please allow the device to charge for a period of at least a couple of hours before determining that the charger isn't working correctly. Hope this helps.
    Good luck.

  • HT4528 I was using my phone, set it on my bed for maybe ten minutes, went to use it again and the screen was black and it was unresponsive. Nothing happens when I plug it in, I tried a soft reset and nothing happened either. Is there anything I can do?

    a friend of mine said this happened to her, and apple told her to leave it plugged in for a while. I've already had it plugged in for several hours and nothing has happened. I haven't been able to get to apple yet but I was wondering if there was anything I hadn't tried yet?

  • Nothing happening when I plug nano in for the first time- no "source" tab

    I have a 2nd generation 4GB nano, brand new. I used to have a 20GB ipod, hard drive crashed. So I have updated my itunes to 7.0, and charged my nano on a wall outlet.
    I plugged the nano in, with the itunes open, and nothing has happened (it's been over an hour). I've read discussions, everyone keeps referencing "choose nano in the source panel"--I do not have any "source" panel or button on my itunes. The nano screen just says "do not disconnect."
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Sue

    Are you saying that the nano does not show in iTunes? The source panel is always there....it's the panel on the left hand side of iTunes that allows you to look at created playlists (Recently played, music, videos, podcasts, etc). In that area you should see the nano (whatever you named it or it may just say "iPod"). If you don't then go to the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" utility (it may be open in the area at the far bottom right of your computer screen where the time is. It is an icon with a green arrow pointing left and slightly down in case you are not familiar with it). You can "eject" your iPod using that (click on stop and then another box should open. Click on the iPod labeled drive listed and then click the ok button). Then restart iTunes and reconnect your ipod.

  • Nothing happens when connect iTouch to mac - is the cable already dead?

    Last week when I connected my (4 week old) touch to the right-side usb port, nothing happened, but then it connected fine to the left-sided port; bit funny I thought, but got on with my syncing etc. Today, nothing happens when I connect on either side. Do I have a problem with the USB cable?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Macs can get USB errors just like any other computer. Try restarting or shutting down and restarting and then try syncing again.

  • Compressor - nothing happens when I press submit

    I've just started using Compressor, I've been through the very useful tutorials which give a quick guide on encodeing files. Everything seems fine - uploading the file and dragging on the desired encoding but when I press 'submit' nothing happens, no matter how long I wait, the progress bar does not change and the time is always 'unknown. I am not doing it right? seems fairly simple. Any advice, I would be grateful for...

    Thank you for the response.  Nothing happens when I press the button or the space bar.  I have look in the Audio Hardware settings, and ensured that my speakers were selected.  I also tried using a headset and selecting it, same thing.  I get no audio at all.  I also am not able to record anything (not that I would want to until I could play back.)

  • Nothing happens when I press space

    I just downloaded Audition CC 2014, I used to have the installed version.  I'm trying to get started, but after importing a wav file, I find that nothing happens when I press the space bar to start the playback.  What could the issue be?

    Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!
