USB Wireless Headset Not Working

I am a medical transcriptionist and I use a Plantronics CS50 USB wireless head set to listen to my dictations. Ever since I installed the latest upgrade for Bootcamp a few days ago, I cannot plug in my USB plug and have the sound coming through the head set and not through the Mac built in speakers. I have Win XP SP3 installed on my Windows side. Before the upgrade, my set up was working fine. Now, I have to plug in some clunky, heavy earmuff head phones into the back port of the Mac in order to hear my doctor clearly. The culprit seems to be the Realtek Audio program. I uninstalled it, and it really messed up the computer! I ended up re-installing it. I went into the Program Preferences on the Mac side and selected USB Headset as my default for ITunes, etc. It worked fine. But I still am having the same problem on the Windows side. Can someone please help me to be able to set up the computer so that my USB headset bypasses the internal speakers and allows me to hear my dictations through my wireless headset? I would really appreciate the excellent help that I know comes from Mac users. By the way, I'm a Mac newbie. Our last Apple computer was an Apple IIC from WAY back when.... thanks in advance. I appreciate it.

I am not sure, but I've tried it again.
It seems I am stupid, I should wait for a few seconds, or try more times, because it works this time when I plug in my usb kb. I can even wake up mac while it is in sleep mode.
Just one thing is different this time. the USB KB NumLock is off when I plug it in. Previously I remember the NumLock is on.
Thank you for telling me that USB KB is still working I regret to shutdown my mac previously.

HP 5524 Wireless does not work after firmware upgrade

HI,
I have just purchased an HP5524. After initial problems setting up the WPA key from the printer screen, I connected via USB, found the printer and swapped to wireless successfuly. I then installed the printer software on all my computers at home successfully over wireless.
The printer then needed a firmware upgrade to support eprint (?), which is successfully connected, downloaded the fireware, installed and went through the boot cycles successfully.
However, ever since wireless will not work. Before I return it to the retailer as "not fit for purpose" I thought I would ask the forum. The diagnostics downloaded a tool, which I went through, but this did not offer solutions that I had not already tried.
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for posting you query,
In order to resolve the issue, please make sure the printer is placed closer to the router and uninstall the printer drivers already installed and then start the instalaltion and seelct teh connection type as wireless network. Then select use USB to configure wireless and when prompted conenct the USB cable and then select the network and enter the encryption key follow the onscreen instructions.
If the issue still persisits, please open the browser and in the address bar enter the IP address of the router and click on GO. This will take you to the router configuration page. On the router page, please click on Wireless Setup and please make sure SSID Broadcast is enabeld and the Wireless Mode is set to Mixed or 802.11 B/G/N and the Wireless Channel is set to 11 and click on Apply. Then try to connect the printer to the network by using the CD.

USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat

=USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat?Windows 7, X-fi Fatalty Pro
I have a webcam with ?a built in microphone (Ps3 eye). ?It is connected by USB. ?The drivers are the CL-Eye drivers; a third party driver set since Sony does not directly support the eye for PC.
in the windows audio device management, the microphone appears as normal and is set as the default device. ?I can use the windows sound recorder to record me speaking just fine. ?However if I use any other applications it doesn't seem to work at all. ?I can select the device as the default recording device in Starcraft 2 as well as Teamspeak 3 but no sound is detected. ?The USB microphone does not show up as a selectable device in recording options in my Creative Control Panel. ?Disabling the default creative microphone does nothing.
I think the problem is in that windows can directly detect the microphone and so software that uses the windows audio device manager works fine, but anything that talks directly with my sound card software does not properly detect the microphone. ?Basically, I can select the device as a default device but it does not work.
Any thoughts on this or am I SOL and have to find myself a shiny new headset?

I had the same problem. You need to check the device index of your USB mic.
In my case. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.6 system. I had four devices cataloged. With the last one being the USB mic.
Then set like so in your AS code audioPub.microphoneManager.micIndex = 3;
Remember, that the indexing is 0 based.
The sound framework make the assumption that the index is 0.
Hope that helps.

Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard?

Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard? I actually had to go back to my previous operating system to get this to work. I would however prefer to use Snow Leopard...if Apple & HUAWEI have finally got their act together!

There appears to be a problem with drivers for USB wireless modems with 10.6. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now can't connect to the internet with my wireless modem. I hope Apple sort this out soon. Or maybe it's Huawei that needs to put a 10.6 driver into its software.

Airport Express USB printing suddenly not working

Hi, we have an airport express which doesn't seem to be working properly. We've had it at least 2 years now. All has been working fine but suddenly USB printing is not working on it. When I load up AirPort utility and go to the printers tab, it says "USB printers: None". It didn't use to say that! I've checked the printer - it works fine when printing direct from computer to printer over USB (hence both the printer and the USB lead are fine). We use the airport express for iTunes and it works fine. The airport is running version 6.3. We used to print (when it worked) from both Windows computers running XP and from macs running Snow Leopard...
Any thoughts?
Edward

Erm... help!
In a bid to try to sort out the problem myself, I decided to restore the Airport Express (b/g) to the factory default and see if that helped... I did this through the airport utility. The airport reset fine and I then went through the set-up wizard. However, when it then tried to restart as part of the setup process, it said that there was an error and that it could not restart. It said to restart the airport utility and try again. This I did but it cannot see the airport. If I rescan, it says the same thing (unable to find any apple wireless devices). What should I do?
All thoughts and suggestions gratefully received!
Edward

Microphone of the headset not working properly

Hi, Looks like another issue in the BB passport. The Headset provided with the phone doesn't seem to work properly. I can hear music etc however when i speak the listener is not able to recieve my voice clearly or not at all. Any suggestions ? Microphone looks to be buggy. I have used the BBVE, cleaned the socket etc etc but doesn't seem to work. On BBVE i can replicate the issue.

Probably the headset microphone is defecive. The only way to know is to try a known working one on the phone. There is also a possiblity the headset jack or sound input circuit in the phone is at fault, but this is an uncommon type of fault. Over 95% of the time the problem is with the headset. This is not unusual with these cheaply made headsets.
I myself prefer using a Bluetooth headset. There are no wires or plugs to be concerned with. I charge mine every night along with the phone. Most of the time I use my Bluetooth headset because I don't like holding the phone to my ear. With the Bluetooth system I can put the phone down on my desk, and the wireless headset will work for a bit farther than 30 feet from the phone.

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks
Guillaume

I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?
br fjodork
WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

USB hub does not work! Help

I was attempting to install a KVM switch for my G4 and G5 that required me attaching my keyboard and mouse to the usb port on the back of the monitor.
The USB hub does not work! Monitor cable has no bent pins, and works perfectly for video with all my Mac's, G4's, G5's. The problem is I have had this monitor awhile and never tried these ports so apple won't help.
Anyone have any suggestions why these ports don't work and if there is a fix?
Can any one recommend a KVM switch that supports ADC, and USB so I bypass this hub.
Thanks

Some USB 2.0 hardware works very well w/USB 3.0 & some don't. Suggest that you contact the sound card manufacturer & ask them. Perhaps they can recommend a work-a-round.
Another user posted about the same problem some weeks ago regarding a sound card.

USB ports does not work

Hi I have problems with not working USB ports. It used to work. I downloaded actual drivers at msi.com for my gaming notebook GX 60 Destroyer and now my USB ports does not work. What should I do?

What driver have you updated?
Try to do an EC firmware reset by removing the battery and the AC adapter then put the battery back with AC adapter attached.
Same questions like Pegasus asked, does all ports not working? which one exactly? What OS are you using?
Have you done any changes to the system? (for example: self-install OS or changing OS)

Keyboard wireless key not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hello,
I am having hp pavilion dv6-6165tx notebook, where keyboard having a wireless button that turns ON and OFF all wireless devices, After upgrading to windows 8.1, HP Connection Manager is not getting installed, as well as Key is not working, key color turns red and white but no action is performed.
Kindly suggest me some solution.
Note: HP Doesn't provide drivers for windows 8/8.1 ONLY WINDOWS 7 for hp pavilion dv6-6165tx.
Thanks.

Hi @Jayesh_Bhadja ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx Notebook and the Wireless keyboard not working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the keyboard.
The HP Connection Manager is something that is for Windows 7 not Windows 8.1. I would uninstall this from your Notebook. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. It has a troubleshooting tool in this.
Make sure all your updates have been completed. I would try restarting my Notebook a few times.
If that does not help I would uninstall the keyboard from the Device manager.
Thanks.
