People can hear my sound through my apple headset mic?

So i have the new Apple headphones, and when i talk to people on my Mac, they can sometimes here what i'm listening to. Specificly like ads,voices on any videos and stuff. They say they can hear it perfectly as though it's feeding directly to my mic? Is there a way to fix this?

Ok, so disabling the sound card prompted me to reboot. I cancelled, and proceeded to play music I still hear music, the microphone does too. On reboot, I have no more sound, no microphone either.
On enabling my sound card again, sound worked (without reboot). I proceeded to try to record the audio feedback over my headset. It was still happening. I noticed something weird in the recording program, what I noticed was that the level of audio the microphone picked up was inversely related to how loud the headset was set with the inline volume control. Check this out:
The audio played was a constant sine wave tone. This was with the microphone boom physically disconnected from the headset (as it is removable). When I play it back, I can hear a somewhat tinny version of the original sound. If I unplug the microphone from my sound card, I get nothing at all. Now, if I plug in my old headset (the original Fatal1ty analog headset) the echo is completely absent:
The jitters you see outside of the microphone switch activity are just the general noise that I am replacing the headset to get rid of. This test was done exactly as the first one, with the headset's microphone boom disconnected. I adjusted the volume levels during recording and there was no increase or decrease in noise or echo.
To me, this is pretty solid evidence that either my specific headset is defective, or that the Creative Fatal1ty MKII headset line is of very poor quality. Where can I find official support? On the Creative site, I can't really find anything relating to official support channels, all I see is this forum.

  • Does Mainstage work through Air Play? Can't hear any output through my Apple TV.

    I've selected AirPlay as both my system and Mainstage audio outputs but can't hear anything coming through my Apple TV. All other computer audio output works through the ATV, and Mainstage is unmuted and works fine through the Built-In System output. As I soon as I switch to AirPlay in Mainstage, there is no audio coming out, although output IS showing up on the Master out channel in MS.

    I had this same problem when I tried it - No output from the AirPlay even though the display was shwing up and the output device was "Apple TV"  in fact if I went to the sound preference panel and attempted to increase the volume, the AirPlay did play the beeps that preference panel emitted. I called Apple support and they were unsure ar first that this capability is even supported.  They had me try to reproduce the problem with a new user account. In my case MainStage did work with the Apple TV under the new account.  So, they recommended that I quit MainStage, then delete the MainStage-related plist file in my home directory's library/preferences/ folder:
          /Users/{username}/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mainstage.plist
    After deleting this file, I relaunched MainStage and was able to get the Mainstage output on the ausio system attached to the airport.  The delay encoundered is excessive - unsuitable for live performance for me, possibly dud to the fact that I am using an 802.11g wireless connection rather the faster 802.11.n connection. It works fine otherwise.

  • I can't hear music/sound through my headphones.

    Hi
    Basically. I have the iPhone earbuds.... when I plug them into my iMac I can hear Skype calls through them no problem. If I turn iTunes on and play music... I hear nothing. If iTunes is playing when I answer a call, I have my conversation and end the call... the music plays briefly through the earbuds then stops. I can't hear anything through them except when I'm having a skype conversation.
    I am currently running osx Maverick. This wasn't a problem before, but now that I have updated, it's happening and it's really frustrating. I also option clicked the sound icon in the bar and it's showing my headphones are connected. Please help?

    I figured it out.
    When you plug them in, you have to adjust the volume directly from the headphones or you don't hear anything. So use the little control on your apple headset and the sound will work. I feel like such an idiot for not figuring that out sooner *facepalm*

  • When I phone people can hear me without any problem, but I hear very very bad. The sounds is metallic and it is very difficult to understand. Have anyone idea of what is it about. I guess is not a software problem but I am not an expert. Thanks in advance

  • I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

    I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

    Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
    While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
    It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

  • TS3789 When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects - but zero dialog or voice overs?  What gives?

    When I play movies on my apple tv I can hear music, sound effects but no dialog from characters - no voices

    Push and hold the select button on the remote while the content is playing.  You should get an audio options menu.  Guessing you selected one of the the secondary audio track options by mistake somewhere.

  • Can apple fix my broken ipodtouch 4g if you can hear the sound but the screen doesnt show

    can apple fix my broken ipodtouch 4g if you can hear the sound but the screen doesnt show

    They will not fix it. What they do is replace rather then fix.
    After Apple has examined it, they will determine if it is covered by warranty or not. If it is not, you will have to pay for the replacement.

  • On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

    On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
    I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
    Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
    My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
    And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
    Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

    I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
    After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
    For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

  • My screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do.

    my screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do. i have tried to restart and i still doesnt work

    I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through the fix yesterday...
    1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
    2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
    3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
    4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
    5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
    Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
    Hope this helps!

    My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.

    Make sure the mini-displayport/TB plug is fully seated.  It may look fully plugged in but isn't.
    Make sure the Displays system preferences has an Arrangement tab.  No Arrangement means the monitor is not being detected.
    Do a smc reset.
    If none of this works I suggest you take it back to apple (along with your mini).
