Wireless Headset - Using Mic only?

Hellow fellow forum-writers/readers.
I got myself the very stylized wireless WoW headset and I'm enjoying this rather fancy and yet strangely limited headset.
I hadn't really thought about how it wouldn't work with anything not compatible with a USB port(and even some).
So anyway, going ontopic I have this problem.
How do I connect the headset and only use the Microphone?
I can't seem to enable my (Creative) speakers at the same time, or rather even if they are no sound comes out.
I use Windows Vista 7 64bit (Home Premium)
This is very useful if I have someone else in the room with me and we want both to listen to what's being said on the speakers, while talking to someone through Skybe, Ventrilo etc.
All help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Lenovo W770 Wireless Headset - Quiet Mic

    Myself and others are experiencing product malfunctions with the Lenovo W770 Wireless Headset product that involve the built in microphone suddenly being rendered nearly mute as its recoring volume plumets to an incredible low, almost as if one had incorrectly reverse connected the audio in/output phone connectors, only this is a wireless USB headset, so that explaination is out the window.
    If anyone has any idea how this issue can be resolved, I would gladly hear it, otherwise I'm going to have to return the headset instead and issue a negative review for the product.

    I just received W770 and tried it on a PC and it worked. But when I plug the USB receiver in a macbook air (2011 MAC OS 10.6.8), it didn't work. The message I got is that MAC can't recognize the "keyboard" and asked me to press the shift button on the unrecognized keyboard- which I guess meant that the MAC treated the USB dongle as if it were a wireless keyboard of some sort. Anyway, would appreciate it if you could let me know how to make it work on MAC. The previous statement saying that it would work on any Lenovo machine regardless of OS is kinda of unclear - do you mean that it would also work on lenovo running MAC OS (is there any Lenovo running Mac OS?). Thanks.

  • I disabled stereomix to use mic only, now stereomix seems deleted??

    While testing 'n configuring web streaming, (took ages, so I dont really want to do restore point) I disabled the Stereomix, cos it seemed like it was conflicting with the mic. But I only disabled it! Now it is gone-deleted-cant find it anywhere. HP, made me DL software to analyse missing drivers, only to come back n say my warrantee has expired. Can anyone help to find a way to get the stereomix recording option back, without a restore point. Will that work anyway? I may need to. Disappointed at HP, for making this harder than it needs to be, butits  my own fault. I cant see it in devices, or in Control panels realtek HD audio manager only has the mic now. Im so mad. I only disabled, no warnings came up at all. Help please.

    Thank god I have found the driver. Insead of taking the "HP" option of D/Lding their software to go through my PC to find missing drivers, I instead searched manually for it, and found it quite easily. No, expired warranty problems, But it was a big download. 115mb's. But Im very happy, I have an updated version, WITH my stereomix option back. "sp54986.exe" to be exact. Happy happy happy. I shouldve persisted before posting, but got frantic when HP ran me round in circles, after a couple of hours looking on my PC for the missing stereomix, Still.... It is a worry, that a simple disable, can do that vanishing act on me. Or was it just hiding somewhere? I dunno. But I think it was really gone!! Like me now, finally. Bye All. (Thanks 4 sfa HP)

  • Best headset with mic to use with macbook pro

    Hello,
    I have a headset with a mic that I am using through Skype and other applications to speak to customers.
    The mic is connected through a stereo mini plug, going through the headphone input jack on my MacBook Pro.
    The mic audio is no longer registering through the audio input, and I can see (hear through recordings) that the only audio coming through when I where that headset is being picked up by the laptop built in mic.
    I've done some reseach on line and have a few questions:
    1)  Is there a known issue with mic audio coming through the headphone input?
    2) Is there a known issue with mic audio coming through the headphone input specifically only when using Mountain Lion?
    3) Is it better audio quality to have a headset with mic connected via a USB input rather than the stereo mini input.
    4) Are there any recommendations for mic/headset combos out there or a brand that makes good product compatible with the MacBook Pro?
    Thank you,
    Suzanne

    Good heatset mics very nearly dont exist.
    If you want quality audio at all, mid-level grade USB mic is the best route.
    And the use of headphones seperately.
    Best mic sub-200$ is the Zoom H2n
    Macbook Air uses a headset jack if you want a headset mic/headphone setup.
    the downside being most mics on headsets are ubiquitously bad quality.
    The PRO mics for laptops/ computers, most of them plug in via USB, not the headset jack.
    SONY ICD-SX712 is a great choice (best "cheap" mic Ive found)

  • Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7.  Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

    Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7.  Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
    3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
    4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

    Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

    As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

  • Living in apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room). I've  an airport express (new ) so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom

    Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've  an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

    Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.

  • Best headset w/mic to use...primarily with Skype?

    I use Skype to conduct/record pre-scheduled telephone surveys and often times my headset stops working and the other person can't hear me (but I can hear them). I am thinking that my current headset, a Logitech USB A-0374A, has issues (seeing a lot of posts about problems with it).
    I would like to purchase a new headset w/mic and need suggestions for:
    brand,
    going USB or the multi-inline controls,
    best for Mac usage,
    Skype usage, etc.
    Thanks!
    Elizabeth

    I think bumping the mute button is an issue w/me. I do have to toggle between apps while on calls and I am trying to search the Skype pages for a discussion board or advice about using other apps while on a call, but can't find anything. I was curious if that can cause issues w/the other person not hearing me. I know this is not a Skype forum, but if you have any knowledge on that topic, please share.
    My grant work budget will pay for a new headset and I like the one you recommended, but it may be a little too much. Thinking of buying the Audio .625 from Plantronics. Appreciate the advice and suggestion.

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • WiFi breaks down when using wireless headset

    Hi,
    every time when I connect my wireless headset my WiFi connection breaks down. When I test it with my daughters iMac and it works fine. There are 2 main differences between both iMac. I am using wireless keyboard and mouse, she doesent. She still uses OS X 10.5.8.
    Any thoughts on this?
    best regards
    Zoor

    Sounds like there may be a channel conflict, try changing channels on the router. You will need to learn the router's utilities to do this unless you use an Apple Airport Extreme or Airport Express. Then all you need to do is run Airport Utility and change the channel, which is very simple.

  • Blackberry wireless headset HS-700 dials one number only

    I just got a new wireless headset for my blackberry curve. It's supposed to be new, in box. Now that it's set up and connected, when I command it to dial a call it calls the same number ... An 870 area code number I don't know. No matter what I tell it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello BobbiOlson and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are having issues with your Bluetooth® headset and your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone.
    Does this mysterious number appear in your Contacts?
    If you were to go to your Contacts and select the number to dial, are you able to manually dial the number or does it default to the 870 number? 
    If you disconnect the headset does this still happen?
    Thanks!

  • Planatronics Wireless Headset..

    I recently purchased the Plantronics .Audio 995 wireless usb headset. It claims it works on both Windows and Macintosh. I have used Plantronics headsets in the past and they have worked fine with iChat.
    This headset will not give me any audio output in iChat. The mic works in iChat. I have both chosen in the iChat preferences, however, the sound does not work.
    This headset works fine using Skype, Garage Band, and Rosetta Stone, the sound works with iTunes.
    The only problem I have is the sound output in iChat.
    Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
    I called Plantronics and they said since it works with skype, it's not the headset, it's iChat.
    Thanks

    I do have wifi turned on, on my router, however, my computer is hardwired to it via cat5 ethernet cable. The wifi is only used by the iPhone. My mouse is wireless as well. Everything else is hardwired.
    I tried to see what I could do with the MIDI Sound Utility.
    First, I could not change the 16000.0 Hz that was the only option available and I could not change it by choosing another option or typing over it.
    I also tried to create an Aggregate Device and combining the both into One Device. I got a mismatch message so the only way I could Make them match was to back the speakers off to match the mic, by changing the 44000.0 Hz to 16000.0 Hz. However, iChat would not allow me to choose the Aggregate as an option.
    I did set the computer to use the wireless headset as my sound output and sound input. I set iChat to use the wireless headset as my sound output and sound input and when I received a call I heard it RING through the wireless headset, but when I answered, no sound at all.
    I am wondering if it's because it's showing up as two devices if iChat is confused and only giving me the wireless mic as an option for both input and output. I just don't understand why it works everywhere else and not with iChat. As no one else seems to have this problem, maybe it's time to call AppleCare.
    I did try talking with Plantronics and they say their product is working, it's a problem with iChat. They do not test with iChat and have no information, I have to go to Apple for help.
    Thank you for your time and patience and suggestions. Have a lovely day.

  • Logitech Wireless Headset and Mac Book Pro

    I recently purchased a Logitech H600 wireless headset. However I cant get my MBP to recognise the nano receiver. I have managed to get a connection between the MBP and the headset using standard bluetooth however the mic on the headset is not working as an input device. Has anyone any suggestions as to what I can do?
    Thanks

    Hello Weaver,
         I actually just bought this headset. The headset exposes itself as an A2DP music streaming device when paired to a standard Bluetooth host, but this is an unadvertised feature (There is no Bluetooth logo on this product). Officially, Logitech's dongle exposes itself as a USB Audio Device but actually compresses the audio and sends/receives via A2DP. In this mode, it can do two-way communications but the audio quality sounds much poorer than direct A2DP Bluetooth from the MacBook. But in A2DP mode the microphone doesn't function. It doesn't support mono headset (HFP) profile. Microphone support is only via their proprietary audio mode from the dongle.
          So I guess it's just a compromise depending on how you need to operate it. Skype, dongle. Music, direct Bluetooth IMHO.
