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 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.

Headset problem with hub phone

I followed somebody's advice on here and purchased an adapter (3.5mm to 2.5mm) so that I could use my mobile headphones on my hub phone. Unfortunately it didn't work - I can hear the other person but they can't hear me.
Can anybody suggest a cheapish solution - I have a pc headset but want to be able to dial out using '5' on my hub phone as I have anytime calls on my landline.

I bought a reconditioned headset from http://www.telephoneheadsets.co.uk/headsets/Refurbished-Telephone-Headsets/
The headset works fine. But when I use it with my BT Hub phone I get a slight buzzing noise - it's the phone causing the problem, not the headset as the headset works fine on the landline. Let me know if you go down this route and if you do or don't get any buzzing noise.

RV180 (wired only) problems with firmware 1.0.4.14, fails to boot correctly + LAN ports power off during boot (downgrading to 1.0.3.10 = fine again).

Hi All,
A few months ago when 1.0.4.14 was released I was quick to update to this version from 1.0.3.10 but very quickly ran into issues.
Bit of background info... I am not doing anything complex with this box, basic IP4 network over all LAN ports, no VLANs, firewall enabled and allowing 2 port access rules to a static IP address. Any static IPs are assigned manual at host level but all other devices receive DHCP IP addresses. I don’t host VPN on this RV180 but I do with another. Routing VPN has no issues. WAN is connected to another switch provided by my ISP who provides DHCP IP Address with their DNS etc. Only LAN ports 1 and 2 are connected, port 1 to my Wireless AP (AP mode passing all requests to the RV180, DHCP etc.), port 2 connects to a 8 port Smart Switch (but all 'Smart' features are currently not in use, so basic switching only). All other settings on the RV180 are on recommended defaults.
Everything is working fine on 1.0.3.10 but I have all kinds of issues after updating to 1.0.4.14. Here are the actions and experiences I had...
1) Backup my RV180 config to txt file.
2) Navigate to the firmware upgrade page and follow steps to complete the upgrade process from 1.0.3.10 to 1.0.4.14. *router does the normal process of upgrading*
3) RV180 reboots to complete but doesn’t come back up even after waiting 5-10 mins. LAN ports enable during boot up (link lights on) but after about 2mins turn off (no link lights). WAN light is on alongside the Power Light.
4) Power cycle even with rest... Same results.
5) Reset the RV180 to default settings. I can sometimes get the unit to boot up and the LAN remains active and powered up. The web UI is VERY slow compared with 1.0.3.10. Internet sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (I would expect it all work without issue on default settings).
6) I repeat this a few times, various resets, powered off waiting periods, etc. but I always have issues. I did manage to get some log file information and the Kernel appears in the Alert, Error and also the Warning logs (please see attached files).
7) I gave up at this point. No major issues like this reported on the internet from a few google searches etc. So I then reset to defaults (1.0.4.14), downgrade to 1.0.3.10 and finally reset to defaults again + restore backup config settings (with some manual changes).
The router has remained like this and seem to be working fine, but I would like any security improvements from 1.0.4.14 firmware on my device.
Anyone able to help, have the same issue or can advise me in any other ways?
I see 1.0.3.10 isn’t displayed as a firmware download on the standard support page for the RV180 now. Only 1.0.2.6 and 1.0.4.14. Do I need to downgrade again to 1.0.2.6 before upgrading to the latest version?
Regards,
~FAZ~

Hi,
I recently bought a RV180 router and immediately I encountered the same problem; practically I am not able to access the web GUI.
The PC is directly connected to the router, nothing else is connected; the TCP/IP configuration is as follows:
PC: 192.168.1.100
RV180: 192.168.1.1
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
Once the router is turned on, the power LED flashes fastly, the Ethernet LED is on but after few minutes it disappears and the PC detects a disconnection of the Ethernet cable.
The router is not pingable and, as I said, the web interface is not reachable.
I have tried to power cycle the router, to reset it (pressing the reset button for more than 3 second and for more than one minute), to access the rescue mode and download a new firmware through TFTP, but nothing worked.
Few times, after many boot and reset trials,I was able to access the web interface and in one of these occasions I updated the firmware to 1.0.4.14 but once the router is powered off the problem arises again at the next power on.
I have not tried yet to downgrade to an older firmware version.
Can you suggest any solution? thank you.

Aluminium wired keyboard problem with iMac

Just bought an Aluminium wired keyboard for my 2.66ghz iMac 20". When I press shift 3 for the £ sign, I get a #
If I press alt and 3, I get the £. How can I get this working as it shows on the keyboard?
Allan

Ah, got it working properly, changed the input language from US to British. If only that would work with Google!
But, any idea where on the keyboard I got a smiley face from when i was checking which keys produced which symbols with the alt then shift keys.

Wireless to Wired PC problems with WRT54GS router

I am helping a friend troubleshoot a home network with a high-speed DSL line, WRT54GS router, 3 wired XP PCs and two laptops connecting to the router via 80211.g
The desktop PCs see each other on the network and can share files and printers.
However the laptops via WIFI don't see the wired desktops on the network, nor can the desktop PCs see the laptops on the network. I tried running the XP network wizard on each laptop with no luck. I tried some ping tests with the following results:
When I ping a laptop from a desktop, I get a return ping
When I ping a desktop from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
When I ping the IP address of the router from a desktop, I get a return ping
When I ping the IP address of the router from a laptop, I can NO return ping.
I tried disabling the firewall features internal to the router with no luck.
All machines are running Macafee total security with a firewall. I made sure the firewall was disabled for these tests.
I would appreciate some advice.
Thanks

Turn on file & printer sharing on all computers. Make sure they are all on the same workgroup. Do not use network wizard.
Log on to the router and setup your wireless settings & wireless security. Change the network name from Linksys to something else. Copy these settings on a piece of paper. Now go to your laptops and find the network you just created. It will ask you for the key or passphrase. Input the passphrase you just created. If it does not work you will have to manually configure your wireless settings that you written on paper.

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

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.

Is the wireless WoW Headset incompatible with a PC wired 360 Controller?

I recently purchased the World of Warcraft Wireless headset. While it's a great headset, and is pretty much what I was looking for quality wise, i've been having a problem with it that I can't seem to fix on my own.
Whenever I connect a wired PC type (USB) 360 controller to my PC, no sound comes from the speakers on the headset. If the headset is currently playing a song, or a sound, the sound will stop mid-file as well.
I checked the sound settings through the control panel, and the headset is listed as the output for all sound, however the headset is not outputting sound.
Disconnecting the controller appears to allow sound to continue playing from the headset, making me wonder if this is a driver or hardware compatibility issue i'm experiencing.
This is a problem since a few of the games I like to play are best played with the controller, and a few are pretty much unenjoyable otherwise. Any advice on getting this fixed would be greatly appreciated. I currently have a ticket filed, but haven't gotten a response back yet, so I figured i'd post here just to be safe in case someone had found a solution already.

Jeroen222,
Is the wireless headset selected as the default audio device? I presume you have already paired the headset?

Problems with headsets

Hi,
We're having issues with Plantronics's CS50 headsets and 7960 phones. Users are having choppy voice or even audio cut-off during a conversation, this happens when both the caller and the called one are talking simultaneously.
One of the users seems to be having more problems than the others, we changed the phone, the headsets, the sw port, we checked the wiring, nothing fixed it. We even exchanged device, headset with another user who's setup is exactly the same, but in the office just next to him, same issue again with the other one's gear. So we tought it was an "environment" thing, like something is interfering in HIS office only.
But since this morning, we have the issue with 3 users, 2 of them are physically next to each other and the third one is physically apart, so not on the same sw, but still in the same building. So, I'm confused and don't know were to look at.
We did the Plantronics procedure to reset the headset, did the tuning, reset the phones, etc. but nothing seems to fix the problem, so now the users are using their handset...
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi Sandy,
That is a tough one! Like David, we use many CS50's with a variety of Cisco phones (7940,7960,7941,7961) with little or no problems. We did have a bad power bump one day that forced us to have to reset a number of CS50's. Maybe you had a power problem last night or this morning that has caused this. I would do a system reset on all 3 headsets to start with.Here are links to a couple of good Plantronics guides;
http://www.plantronics.com/media/media_resources/literature/user_guides/73156-01_CS55_US_DL.pdf

For the one user that you have been having more problems with is the base unit a good distance away from the phone,PC, monitor,printer,photo copiers etc? One other thing is that we always have set the compatability dial to 4 for best results.
Hope this helps!

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

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.

Problem with Speaker and Headset in Windows Vista

Hi, I just got my Macbook Pro 13" and having problem with speaker and headset when working with Windows Vista (I have installed the driver from bootcamp). The sound very weak if I play music from Itunes or youtube even the volume already full and if i put my headset the sound not coming out. Is there anyone can help me to solve this problem?
Regards,Edwin

When you post about Windows / Boot Camp, in Mac Pro (workstation) forum where others with a MacBOOK would be more likely to have same hardware configuration, and you won't find Windows drivers on Apple downloads. More like at
http://www.guru3d.com or other sites, or go to RealTek (if that is the type of audio you have).

HT3310 i have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do?.. I am using the original headset eversince. I took it to an Apple Mac Center I was told they can't do anythin

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

Problem with Windows 8.1 and Corseca Byte BT headset

I recently bought a Corseca Byte bluetooth headset.
The headset works fine with phones.
Initially when connected to the laptop running windows 8.1 it works well and continues to flawlessly for hours.
The problem is when the headset is connected to the laptop but there is no audio streaming (e.g paused a movie playback for attending some other job) and resume playback after 10-15 minutes the audio starts stuttering/ becomes choppy. If I switch off the headset
and restart it works fine unless it lays unused for some time.
Windows recognizes the device correctly. I've turned off power management for BT devices and tried to update the drivers without any positive result.
Initially I thought the headset was defective but since it works flawlessly with phones I think it is a problem with Windows 8.1.
How to solve the issue?

Hi,
Have you also tried to disable power management on wireless network connection adapter? Since some OEM computers also combine some features of Bluetooth to wireless network connection adapter.
This issue can be mostly caused by drivers. Please contact the menufacturer's to see if the latest driver is compatible with Windows 8.1.
If not, I suggest you find the driver for Windows 8 /7 and install it in compatible mode in Windows 8.1 to see what's going on.
Also, post back the C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log and event log you can find in event viewer related to this issue here for our research.
