World of Warcraft Wireless Headset fails to work with Xbox360 wired controller

Hey all, i've experienced a rather unique problem ever since the original release of the WoW wireless headset.
It works perfectly (Great headset, by the way, except for this one huge issue.) normally, however, upon plugging a Microsoft Xbox 360 controller into another USB port, the sound goes out on the headset.
This problem has existed for me since the original commercial release of the wireless headset. Back then, I opened up a ticket, but didn't really get any help on the issue. The support tech just told me to update my drivers and firmware, despite me already having done that. Eventually, I gave up on trying to fix the issue, since I felt I didn't really have enough games I played on the PC to justify bothering with this bug anymore.
Unfortunately, with the holidays coming up, things have changed, and I was looking to get some help on what the cause of this might be, and how to fix it.
I should mention that the headset works perfectly in conjunction with the controller, on my laptop, which runs Windows 7. The computer that has the problem in question runs Windows XP.
I've checked the audio output, and, after plugging the controller in, the headset is listed as the audio output option. In addition to that, with some jury rigging (Rebooting the computer after plugging the controller in, for instance.) I can get limited sound. However, it is so staticy, extremely low quality, and crackly, as to be almost physically uncomfortable to listen too. Nevermind actually being able to discern what it is i'm actually listening too.
I also have a surround sound system plugged into my computer. I originally assumed that this might be the problem. However, I recently had to move my computer, and the surround sound system is not currently plugged into the computer. The headset still does not work on XP when the 360 USB controller is plugged in.
This problem has persisted beyond a wipe of the hard-drive and re-install of the OS, as well.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and been able to fix it?

You might want to:
. Uninstall the headset, make sure all related applications are removed.
2. Perform a clean boot of your system
3. While your system is in it's clean boot state, reinstall the headset.
Do test the headset with a different USB port on your main computer to see if it makes a difference. Hope this hel

  • Randomly turns off and on - World of Warcraft Wireless headset

    Hi, first I want to say how I really enjoy this product. Mic sounds amazing and picks up even quiet sounds. Speaker quality is great, the effects on voice are a blast, and the illuminating is just a nice touch.
    My problem is this:
    I leave my headset plugged into the USB cable most of the time. The headset stays on even when I am away from my computer but the computer is always on so it should be charging. I notice randomly that it will disconnect and reconnect repeatedly.
    Sometimes after it does this the blue light stays on but it won't connect. I press the power button once and it connects and I can hear and my mic works for a second or 2 then drops again. I keep trying to turn it on, and it turns off right away. My current fix is to turn it off for about 5 min and then start using it again and its fine. I am assuming that I am draining the battery faster than it is charging. Or is it something else? Which leads me to the question; when its plugged in to the usb, does it use usb power or battery power while its being charged simaltaneously.
    Thank you for your time and help!

    I had the EXACT same thing happen... snapped and now flopping. Tried to do the "create RMA" and it refuses to take the serial number. Bought these on 10-17-10 and they arrived on 10-27-10 with my new alienware, dell pointed me to Creative to get it taken care of and I'm getting NOWHERE with the site.
    What do I need to do??

  • The volume keys on my Logitech K760 wireless keyboard do not work with my 2.3 GHz, Intel Core i5 Mac mini which runs Mac OS X 10.7.4. Anyone know how to correct this without having to re-code firmware?

    My first post to the Apple Support Community so it looks like all I wanted to know is covered in the title. The research I have done led me to solutions that I am not comfortable trying for fear of irreparably damaging my keyboard and/or Mac mini. Does anyone have a simpler solution? Please? Hellooooo?
    Just in case the title is too long to show, I have re-pasted here:

    What is the best wireless camera that will work with my mac?

    Any reliable brand that claims Mac compatibility.
    Different wireless cams (wi-fi versus BlueTooth) may work better for different purposes, so ask your retailer for one that best does what you want to do with it.  For some examples of all kinds and types, click the link at the end of this sentence to see results of this search for your posted question.

  • How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's?

    How can use my Wireless Location Appliance to work with RF ID's for Asset Tagging.
    It seems Smartcard used for ID cards have a small RF ID, can I use this for Asset Tagging?
    Thanks in Advance

    There are two kinds of RFID tags: Active tags, which have a battery or other internal power source, and passive tags, which have no power source and work by reflecting the energy from an RFID scanner (basically). At the energy levels and distances used for WiFi location detection, passive tags will not return a detectable signal.
    Take a look at http://www.aeroscout.com/ for more info on WiFi RFID tagging.

  • The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2. I turned on Bluetooth and paired it.  What else is there to do?

    The wireless keyboard is not working with my iPad2.  I turned on bluetooth and paired the device.  What other hidden step is there to do?

    Well, the tiny green light comes on and blinks. . . After a frustrating time, I turned everything off.  Later, when I tried the keyboard again, it worked.  I guess the bluetooth process takes longer than expected.  So thank you for taking the time to help a technically impaired person!!

    Hi Bill I noticed that list you posted mainly shows devices that require purchasing 3rd party drivers from companies such as ioxperts.
    If you use a device that has ralink chipset you can use their drivers free of charge.

  • What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
    Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
    The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
    Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
    Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
    Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
    Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
    Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

  • Wow Wireless Headset Mic stops working on Mac OSX 10.6.3

    I'm running the April drivers and firmware for my wireless wow headset. After the install of the drivers all was working great. No lag from mic etc. I shutdown my computer went to bed. Next day I booted up, worked a bit and then turned on my headset. Sound worked fine but no mic input detectable from any application. Unplugged the transmitter and replugged it. Sound still works but not mic. I rebooted with the headset on and mic worked. I assumed headset needed to be on during boot up. This morning same thing but even reboot with the headset on doesn't give me microphone functionality.
    I've double checked the mic is plugged in properly to the headset but i just can't get any sound out of it.

    Ok, I found a work around. It seems the mic doesn't initialize sometimes when i boot up and power on the head set. I can tell the mic isn't working because if i press the mute button the red light doesn't come on indicating I'm muted. To fix this i power off the headset and power it back on. This takes several attempts. I also found it seems to do better at initializing when its not plugged into the charging cable.

  • Apple wireless keyboard no longer working with boot camp Windows 7

    Hi,
    I've had Boot Camp installed for about half a year now with no problems.
    Yesterday my wireless keyboard stopped working with it, it also appears that bluetooth isn't in the device manager or in the control panel,  it could no linger detect either my magic mouse or keyboard despite having fresh new batteries. They do however still work with my Mac OSX partition. It also lets me hold down alt to choose which OS to boot into on startup however when it gets to the log in screen for windows the keyboard stopped working.
    I've tried unpairing them in OSX then trying it in Windows but like I said bluethooth doesnt even appear to be there and it wont detect them. I've also tried reinstalling the apple drivers twice, still doesn't work.
    If it helps I have a early 2011 iMac 21.5inch and it's Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    This may be just a Boot Camp issue, if no one here can help you may also want to post in the Boot Camp forum.

  • Wireless print server that works with Macs and Epson R1800?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy a wireless print server, which I could use as if the printer was connected directly to my Mac. So basically, it just needs to have printing over IP port (like port 9100 on HP JetDirect) and drivers for Mac OS X (or ideally, no special drivers needed at all). Devices that do sharing of the printer only over LPD (older Unix), SMB (Windows), IPP (Cups / newer Unix) or similar protocols is not what I'm looking for here.
    The reason why LPD, SMB and IPP are not an option is that I'll need utilities such as Epson Printer Utility to work over the network too.
    It looks like Linksys, Belkin and some other have products that allow access to the printer over port 9100 (standard HP JetDiret's port) as if the printer was connected directly to the computer. However, for the most part I was able to find only success stories for Windows users.
    Windows has standard driver that allows connection to the printer to be easily switched from USB port to network port. Does OS X comes standard with that feature, or is the special driver needed?
    Most importantly, has anybody had success with printing from Mac through wireless print server (any brand) to Epson R1800? Did the Epson Print Utility (checking the ink levels, checking and cleaning the head, etc) work? Any special drivers needed?
    Thanks

    direwolf has hit the nail on the head - the Epson driver won't work for IP printing. The Epson driver is a Carbon driver, where they build the comm protocols into the driver instead of enabling use of the standard protocols on OS X (that are part of the CUPS system). You'll need a CUPS driver to use the standard network protocol(s). The printfab driver is a CUPS driver.
    Exception - the Apple Extreme/Express/etc print servers have firmware that make them work like Macs - Mac-to-Mac sharing works with USB-only drivers! I hesitate to recommend the Extreme/Express, because Apple can't seem to get all the kinks out.
