OS X 10.5.6 compatible USB headset

hey i need a good quality USB microphone for $50. the quality doesn't have to be absolutley amazing. just one that cuts out background noise and doesn't pick up me breathing.

Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Mouse your mouse over the Printers column, hold down the Control key and click your mouse. Click on Reset printing system.
Restart your Mac and then add the printer queue again. See if this helps...

  • USB Headset - multiple issues

    I recently purchased a Logitech 250 USB headset. The package indicates that the headset is compatible with Mac OSX. Everything worked great for the first day or two when I was only experimenting with Skype.
    Since then I have had multiple problems. Sometimes I have audio but no mic. Sometimes I have mic but no audio. Sometimes I have neither, but very rarely do I have both.
    The package came with no software or drivers (for Mac or PC). There appears to be nothing for the Logitech 250 headset available for download and documentation is very limited.
    I have plugged the headset into every USB port on my G5, both ports on my Apple keyboard, all four ports on my powered USB 2.0 hub and both ports on my un-powered USB 2.0 hub.
    On two occasions with the left port on the keyboard I got a warning that a USB divice was drawing too much power and the port was being shut down.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Is this a common issue?
    Do I have a defective unit?
    Any help or ideas are appreciated.

    Phil Huse-
    It sounds like you have pretty much proved that it is the headset.
    Apple keyboards use an underpowered USB1.1 port. It does not have enough power for something like the headset and will give that warning.
    Have you tried shutting down the system and using only the keyboard, mouse and headset each on a USB port on the Mac itself?

  • Logitech USB headset

    We had a logitech USB headset for Dragon and it all worked fine.
    Headset wires broke and so I replaced it with the closest one I could find (ML-341) to what we had.
    So let's forget Dragon and just look at the MacBook Air.
    When I am in System Preferences -> Sound it recognizes
    a) the internal microphone,
    b) the USB headset that came with Dragon (USB Ear - Microphone) and
    c) the USB Logitech headset (Logitech USB Headset)
    BUT as I switch amng all three in SOUNDS the Logtech doesn't work.  (no blue input levels moving)
    Volume is up and mute is off.
    I don't have to box but I am certain it is a Mac compatible Logitech as that is what I went to buy.
    I have looked at the utility MDDI? but don't see anything I should be changing there either.
    What's up?

    Hi
    I have the Logitech Headset Premium Stereo 350 USB. Since the 10.4.6 upgrade (I think) it has not been working as it should, but it does still work. You need to go into System Preference > Sound > Output, have the headset selected as the output device, and then click the mute button on and off. Have the headset on while you do this and play with the volume control at the same time so you will hear when the sound does start to come from the headset. I have no idea why Logitech have not sorted this problem out yet, but the headset does work fine if you are prepared to fiddle around every time you use it.
    While we are here I want to recommend SoundSource for quickly changing audio inputs and outputs. It doesn't help much with the current problem, however.
    Edit: BTW on my headset, the flashing blue light is the mute indicator for the microphone. Pressing the centre button toggles it on and off.

  • XFCE USB Headset issue

    XFCE has very annoying behavior with USB headsets.
    If I plug it in and select the headset via the xfce mixer sound just continues to play though my speakers. the only way I've gotten it to play out of the headset is installing pulseaudio and pavucontrol, in pavucontrol I can go to the playback tab and select the mic per application and then it works, but this is a PIA. I have properly setup pulse audio as far as I know, with pulseaudio-alsa, alsa-plugins, and an asound.conf file.
    I'd like it to play sound out of my headset in every application automatically when I select my headset in the mixer, and out of the speakers when I select the speakers, like gnome and kde do. Is there anyway to do this?
    Thanks

    Freaky, but you're right, it works.  I was just in the middle of a garageband recording when my headset (Logitech, not sure on model) kept disappearing on me.  I got a message saying it was disconnected when it was not, then it would come back only to have the same thing happen several seconds to minutes later.  Finally it left and wouldn't come back.  I rebooted thinking it was up too long (I've gone ninety days between reboots easily).  No dice.  So I found this.
    Plugged it into a powered usb hub and it's back.
    Very strange indeed.  Have any advice on the SD card slot refusing to see the same card every few uses?  lol  I love my macbook pro but this weird stuff... it's just beyond me now!

  • USB Headset Prob

    Hello, I installed a SB X-Fi XtremeGamer a few hours ago and I encountered some problems. The card and the software included work normally when normal speakers are connected, however, my USB headset (Speed-Link Medusa 5. USB) does not seem to cooperate with the new card. It seems that the headset uses its own "drivers" and actually bypases the sound card, if that is even possible. I tried changing the sound input and output settings from a "USB Audio" entry to the "SB X-Fi" one, but then it all went mute.
    Does anyone have a solution please? Is there a chance I can get my headset to work with the new card?
    Thanks in advance?

    You answered your own question,
    It seems that the headset uses its own "drivers" and actually bypases the sound card,?
    You want to use that headset with your sound card you're going to need to find an adapter for the USB connection so you can plug it into the card, or get a headset that isn't USB.

  • USB Headset Works in One Port, Not the Other

    When I got my headset (Logitech) it worked perfectly just after plugging it in and using it. It worked while plugged in to either of my USB ports on my laptop. Recently however, it has not worked at all while plugged in to the port on the left, while it still does work when plugged in to the port on the right.
    If I open iTunes while plugged in to the non-working left port and make sure to change my system prefs so that the input and output use the Logtech USB Headset, then I hear no sound of any kind. If I then simply plug the USB headset into the other side of the computer without changing any settings, it works fine. This is new behavior as it used to work in both ports.
    Another thing to note is that the volume control buttons on the headset still work even when plugged into the USB port that doesn't play sound. Also, I successfully plug in my printer, mouse and other devices to both ports and they all work fine.
    I've tried repairing permissions, repairing preferences, and restarting, but nothing has helped so far.
    Any ideas on why this would happen with any device?

    Which operating system are you running? I have similar problems in a configuration with and iMac and a Macbook, but haven't tried to switch the system around. see this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2112054&tstart=0
    My problem arose when upgrading the iMac to run OS 10.5.8.
    I'll try this tomorrow and see if my problem is similar to yours by swopping the system around

  • Can I hook up 2 USB headsets to me Macbook Pro?

    Can I hook up 2 USB headsets to me Macbook Pro (running v.10.9.2)?

    Are you looking through Thunderbolt? You can do it on your model with 2 Thunderbolt displays according to Apple Support document;
    Thunderbolt-capable Macs, with discrete AMD Radeon graphics can support up to two connected Apple Thunderbolt Displays.
    MacBook Pro (15-inch and 17-inch, Early 2011)
    iMac (Mid 2011)2
    Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.5 GHz3
      Two Thunderbolt display
    Here is a third party that does it also;
    Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition or TripleHead2Go DP Edition. Pricey though.

  • Ventrilo, Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 and System Preferences

    Hi all,
    I have some troubles using ventrilo on my G5 (same problems also on a new iMac).
    Ventrilo is working, I'm using it with World of Warcraft, and using it with a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 (but the problem happen also with Logitech 250).
    After some times I'm using Ventrilo, this is very random, people in Ventrilo stop hearing me. I noted that opening the System Preferences, checking the Sound panel, the Logitech is selected as sound in, but the visual signal on the panel is blank (if I speak on the microphone no signal is visualized).
    What I need to do is to disconnect the Logitech from the USB and reconnect it. I need also to exit from Ventrilo and relaunch it.
    Then all is working good again, naturally till this happen again (may be 5 minutes after as 30 minutes).
    I've also tried to remove Ventrilo and its preferences and reinstalling it. This assuming that the cause of all this is Ventrilo and not MacOSX. But this happen also on a new iMac...
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Croma12,
    The problem is not Ventrilo - it's Logitech's headsets and the driver software.
    I have had both the USB 350 and USB 250 - each have the same problem, that is, not being recognized when freshly connected. It's a trip to the Sound Preferences pane each time to reset. Often we need to toggle the Mute checkbox to make the headset work.
    Even worse, 90% of the time when I connect the headset, it freezes my MacBook completely, necessitating a forced restart. Not Cool.
    I've combed through the Logitech support library and discussion forums - as a company, their Mac support is very poor, and their forum moderators know very little about Mac hardware.
    To make the switching of sound sources a little easier, Google for "soundsource" - it's a menu-bar widget that will sometimes enable the Logitech headset without needing a trip to the Sound Preferences.

  • Z87-GD65 USB headset and BIOS 1.7 problems

    OK...as i've stated on these forums before there is a problem with attaching USB headsets with this motherboard. There is already many posts about the problem so it "is a problem". F.R.E.Q 5 headphone will not work with the mobo, other people on these forums have also complained about razor headsets not working, as I agree with that it is a well known razor has compatibility issues I still think this is a mobo issue that MSI need to address. Logitech G35 work fines...but every other usb headset i've tried doesnt...this is on both 1.3 bios and 1.6. I've also tried other workarounds to no avail. 
    Any MSI guys readin this...these are the headphone i'm talking about
    http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/freq5.htm
    NOW..the BIOS issue...the new 1.7 that has been released...DONT FLASH IT....it just bricked my mate mobos...lucky the GD65 has dual bios. I tried it to see if it happened to get his freq 5 working...but the PC wouldn't post.
    Any comments or development on this situations on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

    Quote from: Nichrome on 08-December-13, 03:57:18
    Personally I don't think it's a problem with a BIOS.
    Have you tried updating all the drivers? Especially Audio..
    Like I said, i've tried every workaround from bios to drivers. Been on these forums, other forums, other sources and no solution seems to work. There is nothing wrong with the headphones as they work on every other PC i've tried and those have had different mobos. Those headphones even work on my Z87 MPower MAX no problem..it is just this Z87 GD65 board. Could be just a bad apple out of the bunch...but I doubt we'll get a RMA for it just cause one sort of headphones wont work on it. Now my mate got a pair of $170 headphones sitting there he cant use.
    And as the to 1.7 bios...just by going off the few posts on here i'd be pulling it asap, obviously not alot of testing has been done on it. Just lucky the board has the dual bios option.

  • Pulseaudio + USB headset: mic works, headphones don't

    I have a Logitech USB headset that I've gotten to work under other distros, but not yet with Arch. I'm running ALSA + Pulseaudio, with my /etc/asound.conf sending ALSA events to Pulseaudio. This works fine for everything I've used, with the exception of my headset. The mic works, but I can't get get any sound through the headphones, it just always goes to the default sound card. When I run pavucontrol I can see my headset listed as an input device, but not an output device.
    Any ideas? Been searching, but haven't found anything yet.

    My headset is /dev/dsp1, just FYI

  • Compatible USB cord with iPod mini 1st Generation model number A1051

    Hi,
    I've looked everywhere for a place that sells compatible USB cords with the 1st generation mini circa 2005 and can't find one including the Apple store---in the store some seem to say a particular one works and some doesn't, there is conflicting information. Can you help?
    Brandon

    Hello BMSprint,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    A cable such as this one will work. There are several more options available on Amazon. If it's says its compatible specifically with the iPod Mini, then it more than likely is. It might not hurt to read the comments and reviews though to make sure you are choosing a quality product.

  • Why is logitech 350 usb headset not recognized by my MBP?

    I have a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 that is not recognized (at all) by my fairly new MBP, which is running OS X Lion 10.7.5. I have run all of the available software updates but the headset it still not recognized as an input or output device (under system preferences). When I plug it into my old PC (Dell Inspiron) it is recognized immediately and works perfectly. Can you please help me with this? I really want to me able to use the headset on my MBP.
    I have emailed Logitech several times and they have been unhelpful!

    Either read the headset user manual or contact the vendor.  You should also try posting in the Bluetooth forum area.

  • Plantronics Audio 648 USB headset

    I very recently bought the above headset and it has been working fine till now. The microphone is working but the headphones are not. I have read somewhere on the Skype site that the call control buttons on the cable leading to the headset will not work due to an alteration in the Skype software but the headphones should still work....but they are not and although the headset is listed in  audiosettings/advanced options/speakers I cannot get the software to accept them as having priority to my Realtek speakers built into my laptop.
    Any suggestions please? The headphones must be capable of working not least because the Skype shop is still selling them
    Peter

    Try installing your USB headset directly to a port on your computer preferably one that you have never used before with this headset. You also have the option of disabling your onboard speakers in Windows just to see if it will work. Though it's generally less of an issue with USB than 3.5mm headsets, try installing the latest (v2.71 04/2013) generic Realtek "High Definition Audio Codecs" drivers to see if it changes things. They are available at the link below:
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
    Installing the drivers is generally a two-stage procedure. On it's own it will uninstall your existing drivers, prompt you to reboot, then it will install the latest release after the reboot. You would probably want to reboot one more time afterward.
    Doing these things (USB port change/driver update) should update your current configuration in Skype. So hopefully you will get different results.
