WoW Gaming headset mic issue!!

Hello!
I keep hoping to see an updated driver or "fix" for the mic issue. My headset is the wired version and I'm told by my fellow Ventrilo users that they hear an odd "electronic" noise when I talk. Intermittant and unpredictable ... and very annoying. I'm still holding out hope for a fix for this issue but cannot wait too much longer before returning my headset and buying Sony .....
The sound through the earphones is wonderful and what I expected from Creative. The mic issue, however, leaves me very disappointed. One hundred and twenty bucks is a lot of money to spend for a headset only to have a poor quality microphone.
Is the mic on this headset borked? Or can we expect a fix from Creative?

having a mic issue aswell, sometimes if i'm watching a youtube video, the people on skype can hear the video through my mic, yes the headset is on my head when they can hear it.
I've tried the 8% trick but when I do that, they can hardly understand me on skype, come on creative, why don't you just make your products like you should. Constantly had issues with my Fatalty headset aswell and now it's the same, but with a headset that costs 00 euros more, so creative, more support would be great...

HS-1000 Fatalty USB Gaming headset Mic Issues

so i bought this thing from newegg and had it for almost a week now... still having problems with the mic. basically it's not working.
for one thing when i bought it i was asuming that the creative consol would read it as the head phones where plugged in and act accordinly but it doesnt. for another thing i enabled the mic and turned everything on through the creative consol, still doesnt work. initially the mic would have a big red X over it for some reason and i'd always have to turn it on just too use it. but it still doesnt work at all. i dont know if this is a sound card problem or a probelm with the headset. so either way im at a loss.
ii tried it with a standard mic and plugged it into the back, it seems too work from their and i can get it too come up on the sound recorder, but with this USB thing it's not...
anyone that had similar problems with this thing know what's going on? Im using the Sound Blaster X-fi Platinum Sound card with driver version 2.18.0004. i have heard reports from people who bought the same sound card that the mic evenutually dies on the system. im wondering if mine finally just went out or something. either that or its a vista-32 bit thing.
i dunno,
any help would be appreciated.

Need help getting Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic to work

greetings.
i am using a Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic along with an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, and i cannot for the life of me get my laptop to recognize audio coming from the mic. the mic switch on the cord is on, and the status light is lit up, and i can even hear my voice from the mic in the headphones, but the audio is not being inputted into the computer. i'm using winxp pro and have played around with all the audio settings in control panel with no luck. any suggestions? i thank you in advance for your time and consideration. take care.
regards,
jps

Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

Sound Blaster Arena Gaming Headset Microphone Issue

I have a problem with my SB Arena Gaming Headset, but for the life of me have been unable to contact Creative Support about it. I tried to create an RMA on Creative's support site, but the site told me that the product serial # was unrecognized or active. I had previously registered the headset on Creative's website. When I try to send Creative Support an e-mail via the website, the connection times out, stating that the server at 203.2.42.97 is taking too long to respond. Very frustrating. The boom microphone on the headset isn't working properly. In order for anyone to actually hear me, I need to hold the microphone so close to my mouth that it is brushing my lips. If I leave it at its default location, then nobody can hear a word that I'm saying. If I put it where they can hear me, it is so muffled that I'm unintelligible. Has anyone else experienced this (either the mic issue or the support issue)? I would love to get in touch with Creative, as the warranty ends in less than a month.

Hi,
Sorry about that, please use this link to write to our Customer Support. Please let us know if the connection still getting times out.

Razer Gaming Headset Mic Problems

I have a Razer Kraken Pro Gaming headset with boom mic. The boom mic is not functioning on the line in. I have selected the line in from System Preferences, Sound. Any suggestions?

The iMac's Audio Line-In port is > Line level and will not pickup the weak signal from an un-amplifed mic.
To use that mic, you need to wire the microphone thru a pre-amp like the > MXL iBooster or use a > Griffin iMic USB Audio Device.

WoW wireless Headset Mic latency issue with windows 7

I have an latency problem with my mic. I tried to record something with different audio programs (audition, audacity) but i couldn't hit the beat.
the monitoring was enable so i could hear and watched that my voice was time delayed.
Im running windows 7 64bit on my pc, so Im a bit confused, because the problem is just occured on the mac os, as i read in the other threads.
I disabled the Thx, EQ and VoiceFX in the control panel to get the same "settings" like the mac users by deleting the THXTruStudioPCUSBAudioPlugin.kext but it didnt worked for me.

Plug the Droid in and then find the device driver, remove the device driver, restart windows and your Droid and try again.
Here is a link for additional information http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/22437-windows-7-will-not-sync-my-droid.html

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.

MSI Gaming 5 Mic issue

Hello,
I recently purchased this mobo and everything works great expect it won't take in voice. The playback its just static and it won't take in voice. I use this mic on my laptop and xbox with no issue so the problem is is with the integrated sound card. I have search google for hours and can't a find a solution to this issue.
Thanks,

Ok, the reason I was asking about the headset is this....
Most systems do not have a dual mic/stereo port.
Example... lets plug that headset into your xbox controller.... that is 1 port that shares mic/sound. This would also work in lets say an iphone since it only has the 1 plug. When you plug it into your PC (aka the msi board) it does not split the mic/sound. You will need to buy a splitter to split the mic/sound. This would be why you're getting distortion.
I bought this... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DOWH6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Something like this would work too http://www.amazon.com/Smartphone-Headset-PC-Adapter-01-PH35-PC35/dp/B008OB2NHA/ref=pd_sim_e_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0JEMJ3KFEWSC4F3CNSMF
This way the audio/mic is split before it gets to the mobo. You'll have to plug the split headset into the red (mic) and green (audio). As far as I know there isn't a way to combine them with the MSI board unless you buy another sound card.

SB Arena Gaming HeadSet mic problem!

Hi everyone I just got this headset today and everything was great until I tried out ventrilo with it. Every time I talk into my mic I can hear my self in the headphones, when I'm not talking I can hear my self breath into my mic. Keep in mind that I'm not pressing the talk button for my ventrilo. The funny thing is my mic stops doing it completely when I close the ventrilo appilcation. Its a minor problem but its still anonying as hell, I really want to get rid of this weird mic play back problem so if you know how to fix this please reply! and thanks for your time!

FIXED IT
I fixed it by going into Sound > Play back > Click on Headset > Click on Properties > Levels > Click on Microphone > Click on Mute.
Now the feedback from my mic is complete gone.

Bad mic with Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII

I bought the Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII about 2 weeks ago and since then, people have been telling me it looks like a talk thru a pillow. I use Teamspeak mostly and i dont know if the problem exist with the other communication programs. Its plugged into an ASUS G73 laptop. I never had that problem before with my 30$ logitech headset. I have tried playing with most settings but the problem still remains. I can hear everything perfectly but the mic just dosnt seem to work properly.
Anyone could help me with this? Thanks

Hi,

Any way to connect external mic (gaming headset) to macbook pro?

I just made the mistake of buying a gaming headset that has the two audio jacks, input and output. Realizing that Macs dont have the right audio input port now. Before I take them back, is there any way I could get them to work? The sound is fine, but the mic doesn't work obviously. But I do have a pair of wireless Turle Beaches that I use for my Xbox 360, is there anyway I could take some of the connections from that to get this headset to work? Or do I just need to take it back and get a USB headset.

Most MacBook Pros have both audio in and out, so I don't see any reason why you couldn't use the headset you just bought. I haven't seen any 2012 models, but on older models (my 2011, for instance) the audio out is in front and audio in on the rear of the front left-hand side of the computer. If you have these ports, try them to see if your headphone/mic works before returning it.
Good luck,
Clinton

Problems with mic (fatal1ty gaming headset)

hi,
i used to have a mic but the problem was that i could hear myself, but my computer didnt recognize the mic, so i bought the creative fatal1ty gaming headset but i'm still having the same problem so i think its my computer... i'm using the plug-in in the back cuz the one in front doesnt work...
so if anyone could help me i would be VERY gratefull
grtz, alex

OK now ivé had it with Creative and the crappy products they sell. I´ve been buying ALOT of electronic stuff over the years and all creative products have been a total disaster. mp3 players that breaks down in 6 weeks,YEA ALL 3 of THEM DID!!!, soundcards that dosnt support half of the functions stated in the manual, Crappy drivers that actually gets WORSE when updated, and now a headset with no working mic!!! Cmon a mic is pretty basic stuff but still Creative manage to screw it up. Im breaking my X-Fi soundcard in half and throwing it in the garbage along with my Fatal1ty headset and my creative 5.1 speaker system.

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.

Creative Labs Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII

I bought a set of Creative Labs Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MkII about a month ago and my son accidentally broke the mic. So I emailed Creative Labs customer service/tech support, not requesting a warranty replacement, but instead offering to pay for a new mic to be sent to me. This is the response I received:

Explain this to me again. Why is it not possible for me to just buy a mic to replace the broken one? I have bought 3 sound cards and three headsets prior to the Fatal1ty MkII’s from Creative Labs and have had nothing but total praise for each of them. I bought my new Fatal1ty MkII’s about a month ago for $80 and now I’m told the only way to get a new mic is to spend another $80 and get another new set. Seriously Cooler Master can send me a nut for a heatsink mounting kit, Corsair can send me a new modular connector for my PSU but you, Creative labs, refuse to help me out with getting a new mic for a very expensive headset and I’M OFFERING TO PAY FOR IT. I live and support my family paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford to shell out another $80 for a new headset, especially when the one I have now works just fine and just needs a mic. If I am forced to buy a new headset, it will not be a Creative Labs headset, which is very unfortunate since I completely love the Fatal1ty MkII’s and already miss them. A response would be greatly appreciated.

Ok getting irritated now. I get the email ok'ing the replacement for $5 + $5 to ship it and I immediately reply agreeing and asking how I should pay. Then the next email is from your rep is almost a complete contradiction from the previous. I called the support # and was basically told the same thing the last email said and to call back Monday. I 'm not calling back just to get the run-around again so can someone actually help me out with an honest and straight answer. Here's the email thread:
