Wired Headset or Wired Earbud problems

I have had my Blackberry 8330 since April of this year (2009) Overall, happy with it! I noticed that I my wired headset/earbuds (that came in the box with my Curve) would sometimes crackle and stop working. It would literally seem as though it is switching from my wired set to its regular mode (phone earpiece) on its own. I was amazed that when I used the wired earbuds while on the phone, how clear it sounds... however, it still makes that popping noise and is VERY intermittent. One day while I was driving, it was going in and out so much, I had to pull them out and just put the phone next to my head. (ANNOYING) So far, my carrier is not very helpful with all of this. They want to hold my phone hostage for two hours and TRY to fix it!
Another observation.. when I have these wired headset/earbuds plugged in, and it starts popping... if I have the phone on one ear, and the earbud in another... I can hear it switching, on its own from earbud to phone - back and forth intermittently. It does the same thing, if I'm listening to music on the phone as well!
If anyone could just check their phone and try to use the wired earbuds/headset that comes with your Curve, I'd appreciate it. There may be a REAL problem here that no one has found and needs to be fixed. If you HAVE this problem, please help by reporting it and replying to this thread.
Thanks

I am having the same problem. Also,when using the headset that comes with the phone, others have complained that it sounds like I am talking from the wrong end of a megaphone. I am trying to find a headset that works on these phones. Is anyone using a headset (pref wired) that has great clarity? I am trying to solve the same issue. Maybe with tow of us, we can get some solutions! Andy

Unified/Documented problems with Creative WOW Wireless/wired headsets

This thread is to properly present the problems encountered with the WOW Wireless/wired headsets. I will be linking this post to the facebook page as well as World of Warcraft's facebook and Blizzards facebook if I can find one. Also Lucas Arts and THX. Lets see if we can get some eyes on this and move forward. If you frequent a popular site where others are discussing this please bring this thread to light there also.
If it continues unrespondid to my next step will be to notify consumerist.com.
Please note I am to date not having these issues but they seem to be common enough of an issue. (I suspect we may be able to find our own solution also.)
When posting Please follow the below template.
Problem Description:
A non superlative description of your problem. Please just the facts here so we can all be very clear. Include any software tested with such as Ventrillo or WOW or games used that exhibited the problem.
Problem Impact:
Here is where we want to share how this makes you Feel. Describe the negative impact to your leisure or professional time with this product.
System:
Make/Model: (IE homegrown or Dell Optiplex xxxxx)
OS: (Operating System. Please include 64bit or 32 Bit.)
Processor: (i7920 or C2d6600 or whatever you have.)
Memory: (Amount of ram installed and running in the system.)
Video card: (What is the model of the video card in question? Memory installed on it? Manufacturer and such.)
Motherboard: (If you know the model. For instance. MSI x58M.)
Harddrives: (How many drives. What speed if you have them.)
Case: (what is the case? Normally I wouldn't ask but we are talking about Wireless transmission Who knows if that could matter right?)
Environment: (Where is the Wireless Dongle. About how far are you from it. Is something between you and the dongle normally? if so what is it? Do you plug it into the back usb port of your system behind a military grade metal desk from the 40's? That could matter.)
Troubleshooting:
This is where we describe in as much detail as you can what was done. Lets keep this to facts and try and remove feelings from this portion.
I can only hope with this information I or others can come up with a good solution for us all. Or Creative labs and their associated partners involved on this headset can drive this to a resonable conclusion for us all.
I do want to remind everyone here that we are in a new consumer technology area. There WILL be problems. Creative labs had to know this. Blizzard had to know this. And THX/Lucas Arts had to know this. How this problem is handled will impact all three of these organizations. To what extent is yet to be seen.

Problem Description:
Voice randomly becomes unintelligible and extremely distorted (think 70's robotic, accept you can't understand it) while in Ventrillo. My brother and I both have the same model headphones and we BOTH have this problem.
Problem Impact:
I feel cheated out of $119.00 + tax. The main reason for these headphones is for raids and they do not perform the task they were designed for. My guildmates have to be tired of telling me and my brother " Dude your headphones screwed up again." I have sent tickets in and the solutions provided were lame. Reinstall software... mute the microphone? Seriously? All of which did nothing. By the 3rd Email I got nothing at all. Newegg has tons of complaints about this on their site and creative reponded to 1 complaint that was not about this issue, but skipped all with this problem which tells me they do not want to deal with it. I have been a LONG time customer and supporter of creative. This is making me reconsider. If I can't find a solution soon I will return them.
System:
System:
Make Model: Homebuilt
OS: Windows Vista 64 bit
Processor: Core 2 duo E8400
Memory: 8 gigs of Corsair Dominator 1600 mhz
Video Card: 2 x GeForce GTX 260
Motherboard: XFX 3-way SLI Motherboard
Hard Drives 2 300 gig Western digitals 7200rpm
Case:Thermaltake Cosmos S
Enviroment: Wired WOW headset
Troubleshooting:
So far the only make shift solution I have found to temporarily fix the problem is to disconnect and reconnect Ventrillo. The problem will definately happen again but buys a little time between distortion. The only firmaware I have found is for the wireless headset not the wired. The auto update feature says all software is current.

Wired headset problems with 4.5

I have an 8130 with Verizon and successfully downloaded the 4.5 software upgrade. However, when I make or receive calls when using my wired headset I have no sound unless I plug in the headset after the call has connected. This is dangerous when driving, as I may have to re-plug it in several times before I get sound.
Is there a fix in place for this soon?
Thanks

Does the same thing after FF or RWD using the media player, pause seems to work okay...
...No fix that I know of...but the work-around I have been using (rather then plugging in after the call or unplugging then re-plugging) is, FF or RWD to the part you want, press the menu key scroll to "Activate Speakerphone" select it, then press the menu key and scroll to "Activate Headset" and select that. This is what I have been using with media, should work with calls. It's still a pain in the neck but cuts the wear and tear on the headset jack itself which from my experience can be a vulnerable part. Until they come up with a fix.

Wired Headsets not working with Galaxy S5

I have a number of wired 2.5mm headsets that I use with other Android based smart phones (Droid 4 most recently). I use multiple 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapters, and they have all working fine for all of them.
When I try to use any of my wired headsets + adapters with my Samsung Galaxy S5 I hear the audio from the headset, but other people don't hear my voice from the headset. When I connect the headset it shows as "earphones" everytime, and indeed does work fine as a earphone, but the microphone does not work. I'm wondering if there is a setting I need to change so the S5 sees my wired headset as a device with a microphone and not just headphones.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I found out that the wiring of the contacts is different for some phones. If the earbuds say compatible with iPhone then the tip/ring/sleeve contacts are swapped in relation to the Galaxy S5's contacts. See: Phone connector (audio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not getting any notification sounds through my wired headset...WHY??

Hi, I have a small problem with my Z10, No notification sounds come through at all when I have my wired headset is plugged in.
The phone rings as normal during incoming calls/ txts and all I get is muted sound when listening to music at the time of the call.
I've the very latest 10.3 update but it's still not working. I want to be able to hear any notifications that arrive to my phone when my wired headset is plugged in. It must be an easy fix??

It says "Stop Email Updates" (indicating I should be getting them). Also, they do not show up in an spam folder. My almost worthless ISP always tells me they need headers from rejection notices that senders get when they try to send me something. But how am I supposed to get those? No one I ever have this problem with ever says they get a rejection notice.

WoW wired headset driver installation issue.

Just bought the WoW wired headset yesterday after several installs, uninstalls and googling for a solution, here I am.
I'm using Windows 7 32bit, headset plugged into one of the back usb ports, they light up but the driver doesn't seem to install correctly. Just keeps saying "device driver software was not successfully installed" as well as a "device driver software is up to date." dialog box.
In device manager its listed under sound, video and game conrollers with the yellew exclamation mark beside it and right-clicking and going into properties it says:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also having problem with WoW wired headset, except on Mac.
Tried installing, uninstalling, re-installing, updating firmware, changing installation directory, different USB ports, manual copying of files, running in 32 and 64 bit modes, etc. I consistently get an error during installation saying that ">System>Library>Extensions>THXTruStudioPCUSBAudio Plugin.kext was installed incorrectly" during installation when the headset is plugged in prior to or after installation. Nothing works, execpt for the basic functionality of the mic and earphones, as well as the lens color changer. Voice FX, THX Enhancements, EQ (reasons I purchased this headset over others), and any other functionality other than the afforementioned working features do absolutely nothing.
I don't mind a little wait, but it seems as though Creative hasn't really responded to the people who have purchased possibly more than they should have for this headset. I am considering returning this headset for a far cheaper set. It might not have all the creature features of this set, but at least they work the way they are supposed to.
Creative, if you actually care about your customers, you should leave notes, comments, stickies, whatever to describe the status of projects and what you have and have not identified. I've noticed plenty of comments on here that describe problems with this headset, and the most that you have asked is for system profiles, and then silence. Not good business practices.
I remember when the Sound Blaster line of cards was king... Then around when the Audigy line came out, it all went down hill. What happened Creative?
If you need information, if you have questions, please respond. I will be more than happy to work with you to solve this problem.

Looking for a loud wired headset

I have an E71 and I like to listen to podcasts etc while on the train/plane. I find the supplied headset (HS-47) has not got enough volume to make it over background noise. I have made sure the music player is on full volume etc, but it just is not enough - particularly spoken word stuff. I need a wired headset - with a microphone - in case the phone rings!
I can see some options - WH 500 looks like a likely contender. Anyone got any suggetions - It looks like the WH 500 will need a jack plug adaptor.. which is a shame.
Thanks for any help/suggestions in advance
Andy

I'd imagine that the reason you cannot find a loud headset is because of the 100dB noise level limit in the EU (Mainly France)
This article details the iPod, http://news.cnet.com/2100-1040-960211.html however I'm under the impression that every EU audio device carries the same crippling problem with the audio including Nokia Handsets.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black

Looking for a wired headset

Hi Folks -
I have an iPhone 3G and am looking to get an old school wired headset. Something similar to what is pictured here http://tinyurl.com/aczun5 . I would like to keep one in the car, and have another for the house. With my over-sized ears the Apple ear buds fall right out of my ears, and I want to avoid having to deal with charging up a bluetooth headset. Any options anyone can suggest? Much thanks.

WOW Wired Headset Works Great on a 2006 iMac, While My 2009 MacPro Is Feeling Inadequate

I dont get it and I must say this is retarded!!!!!!
I've been fitting with the Application "Sound Blaster World Of Warcraft Audio Control Panel" not detecting the headset long enough to wanna walk 20 ft and get reacquainted with my first Mac. Not one issue getting everything to work on my 1.6 Ghz Single Duo Core iMac on the first try. While my '09 Dual Quad Core MacPro sits helplessly idle.
YOU EVER FEEL LIKE A "MAC*******"
It never fails, the "Red-Headed Stepchild" gets more attention!

Welcome to Creative. At least yours worked most of the time.
They claim the mic problems are becuase the mic's are "way better quality than what everyone uses" ... except really the mic's are garbage. They produce very muffled sound and pick up everything in the background. When mine bothers to work (less than 10% of the time) everyone says I sound very sick ... that's how muffled it is.
The funny thing is, I have a Creative Fatal1ty Mk. II wired headset and the mic was amazing on it. I only got this because it was on sale and WIRELESS. I know it's too much to expect to get my money back for this non functional piece of **bleep**, but they are even giving me a run around about replacing it with the wired version ... which is a cheaper model.
Best advice I can give about Creative is stay away. Stay VERY far away.

Hello Jorma.
Are you certain this is what you want - an old school wired headset which probably is not compatible with the iPhone 3G for placing and receiving calls while using the headset?
More than likely the type of headset pictured would not be compatible with the iPhone 3G for placing and receiving calls, or I should say, would probably not automatically mute and stop the song that is playing when a call comes in with the music starting again where the song was paused when receiving a call. There are some 3rd party earbuds available which include a microphone similar to the Apple earbuds included with the iPhone 3G, and a mechanism to forward to the next song or pause a song. I have a pair of Ultimate Ears, which aren't cheap but are excellent quality, and include inserts of various sizes for the best fit.

I believe there are others available which are similar and less expensive.

Excessive background noise when using Wired Headset with iPhone5

Hello,
I use my wired headset all the time on my iPhone 5 64gb. Driving working you name it. I get complaints over and over again that my background noise is very often louder than I am. A friend of mine experiences the same issues. So I know its not just me. I have already gone to the Apple Store and had the phone replaced but I still get complaints. I just called Apple and they said they have never heard of the issue. It's my biggest complaint about the iPhone 5 mainly because its how I use it most of the time.
Anyone else having this problem? If so, lets make sure Apple is aware of it so it can be fixed.

yes, my iPhone 5, when used with a corded headset, picks up and amplifies background noise to earsplitting levels. Same for the 2 other people I know with iPhone 5s. It makes using a corded headset all but impossible in most situations, unless I am in a quiet environment in which I am not doing anything.

Wired Headset issue with recording

Hi, I've a blackberry 9300 running on os5. When I try to speak during a call or record with the wired headset, the audio is not heard by the other person n doesn't seems to get recorded. With a high volume of audio it gets recorded and it is very feeble to listen with full volume. The speaker of headset works well when I listen to mp3. Also the headset works well with other devices where it can record the sound with minimal effort.. I donno what's wrong with it. Kindly suggest any solution. Thanks & Regards, Bhavan

Please try to isolate the issue by using another headset. If the other headset works fine, that means the one that you're using may be faulty.

Pre Stuck on Wired Headset after removing plug

Im hoping someone else has had this problem. I had my pre plugged in to my desktop speakers in my office playing music yesterday. I noticed since then that even after i unplugged it and left my office my phone still thinks the wired headset is connected and the only way i can hear an incoming call is through my bluetooth or on speaker phone. I have removed the battery adn completely rebooted the phone but no change.
If i am connected to my bluetooth when I get a phone call i can do two things
1) answer with the bluetooth button - person is on bluetooth speaker
2) answer with the phone touchscreen - person is on earpiece speaker and works fine.
The earpiece is still working fine, but the phone is just stuck thinking there is something connected to the headphone jack. I have tried plugging things in and out of the jack but it doesnt help.
Any thoughts?

Well i went back just now and got a little more violent with it (it has insurance what the hell). I plugged my wired headset in and turned on the music. i tried plugging and unplugging and when i put a fair amount of pressure on the plug towards the front of the phone while unplugging it it finally kicked back over to the normal speaker mode. Phone is back to earpiece when dialing out again so it is fixed!

Wired headset still active

On calls, my wired headset remains active even though the headset is not being used.

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
