WoW Headset/Microphone Issue

I have a Wired, not Wireless. The earcup glows work fine for me.
For some reason, any program I want to use the headset with I need to wait to open until the headset is plugged in and registered. This is irritating, at best, because some sounds will transmit through the headset and others won't.
Besides this, it was working relatively fine earlier but when I logged into Ventrilo everything was distorted both coming in and going out. I sound like a Deconstructor to them and they sound like ones to me. I've tried unplugging and replugging, restarting, I will now be working with the drivers if possible.
It seems that every now and then it will also make my sound gritty, like a radio getting interference. Being that this is a Wired set, I find that odd, and I don't have my music blasting - ever.
Is anyone else having these glaring problems? I've only had them for two days and it looks like I'll be more than happy to return them for a refund.

My brother and I both bought the WOW headset. Both of us are having the problem discribed here. It seems very random and intermitent. I will be listening to him and all of a sudden his voice sounds mechanical and very distorted. Its hard to understand what he says. When the headphones work the sound quality is good, but when that happens, it just makes me want to return them. Its SOOOOO frustrating. I can't seem to find a solution to this. PLEASE HELP CREATIVE. I used to have the fatality headset I never had a problem with them. Almost wish i had just bought another pair of them.

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.

Sennheiser PC350 Headset; Microphone issues

No section for headphones here, but I really need some help. If it's in the wrong place, please move it. Thanks.
I have no idea what the heck happened.
My PC350's have worked fine for the few days I had them. Recently though, I enabled 2/2.1 in them, a few days ago. It gave better sound quality & bass.
I didn't use my Mic for about two days or so, just playing Singleplayer games & watching movies.
I enabled Dolby Digital Live, it's not digitally connected, but I noticed the Audio became a lot better for some reason, maybe even a placebo effect.
I enabled the Mic finally..and noticed it was distored. Sounded really iffy and breaking up alot. So I moved the Mic up and down and noticed depending on it's angle, it sounded a little worse or better. I noticed that if I talked really quietly it almost didn't break up, but if I talked at normal level, it broke up near the middle or end, usually not the start.
So I reset the drivers, did the whole thing, used the original settings the Mic worked with. It's still scratchy and breaking up.
What do you guys think happened? I noticed that when the 2.1 audio was on, if I turned the mic on, I heard a large amount of noise.
Thanks, this is rather urgent. I might have to send them back for a replacement and that'll probably take two weeks, Amazon is slow.
I plugged the Mic into my Onboard sound and - it works perfectly. So after two days, my Mic jack is busted? It's only a YEAR OLD! WHAT THE HELL!
PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional. Any word on how I return it to get a replacement? I don't wanna go to BestBuy where I bought it and see if they'll honor it, a year later. I did register the product on the website, but I can't find any place to go for RMA'ing it or anything, you guys have really bad account management.

Now the rest of the Audio jacks have gone! Junk!

Using third party headset with Retina Macbook Pro (microphone issue)

Good day, everyone!
I have very strange issue with my Retina Macbook Pro (Late 2013) OS X 10.9.3
When I plug in my Steel Series Headset, its microphone not recognised by system and only "Internal microphone" available in Settings - Sound - Input.
Headset itself works perfectly fine, because when I plug it to my iPhone, its microphone works without any problems.
Macbook's headphone port also works fine — when I plug in my iPhone original headset to Macbook, its mic works good and I can see "External microphone" in Settings - Sound - Input.
So headset is ok and headphone port is ok. What is the problem?
How to force macbook to use headset microphone instead of built-in one?
Thanks in advance

Either contact the sales staff at the store where you ordered your Mac from or contact the speaker manufacturer & ask them.

WoW Headset Wired Mic messes up in Vent constintly

Everytime I am in ventrilo with my Wired WoW Headset, I have to close Vent and open it back up cause my voice is disorented. It really pisses me off when we spend all that money on a product and it fails repeadly. I know there are other forums that have folks with this same problem with no answers at all. I would love it if there is actually a fix to this so I don't have to feel ripped off.

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.

Can not pick up sound through the Bluetooth headset microphone.

I use a Plantronics Bluetooth headset M55 connect new IPAD (IOS6.0), long press the voice dialing, SIRI from Bluetooth headset microphone can not pick up sound, still or IPAD comes with a microphone to pick up sound, SIRI does not recognize, but canfrom the earpiece of the Bluetooth headset to hear the SIRI feedback sound.Want to be able to solve this bug.

Same issue on my wife's iPhone 4S. I suspect it is related to the recent 6.1.2 iOS update (Note: I have a 3S and the update did not cause any issues).
I've tested both bottom and top mics on the 4S using video recorder and both mics work fine. Speakerphone and headset during calls also work fine. The issue is only related to the bottom mic while making calls. I can hear the caller but the caller cannot hear me. If I hold the mic very close to my mouth, the caller can hear a very low level signal.
The problem appears to be software related, not hardware.

Lenovo Y50 Microphone Issue

I started using my Lenovo Y50 about a month ago and have been having an ongoing problem with external microphones/headsets.The issue is that when I plug in a headset, the sound defaults to the headset's speakers, but the default microphone remains the one in my laptop. I have not been using a USB or the S/PDIF plug; just the normal audio jack. So far I have tried three pairs of headphones: A TekNmotion Yapster Blaster headset, a pair of apple earbuds with the mic attached, and finally a Razer Kraken Pro headset. Based on that, I don't think it is the fault of the headsets.Additionally, my brother got the same exact laptop at the same time, and he is experiencing this issue as well.We figured out a temporary fix:Open the sound menu, go to the "Recording" tab. For us, there are three items present: "Line In" for the Razer pro headset, "Microphone," which I assume refers to the laptop's mic, and "Stereo Mix." By setting the default device to "Microphone," then unplugging and plugging the headset back in. It will now work, but only when the "Sound" window is open. As soon as the window closes it stops working. I have tried splitting the speakers and mic, plugging in just the mic by itself, but it will only work with a combined jack. I have limited knowledge of the S/PDIF input, but from my troubleshooting experience I found that it does not work with the split mic or speakers, or combined audio jack. (I have no idea if this is relevant) Here's everything:ProcessorIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHzManufacturerIntelSpeed2.6 GHzNumber of Cores8CPU ID Family06Model3CStepping3Revision Video Card 1Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600ManufacturerIntelChipsetIntel(R) HD Graphics 4600Dedicated Memory0 BTotal Memory1.8 GBPixel Shader Version5.0Vertex Shader Version5.0Hardware T & LYesVendor ID Device ID Plug and Play ID Driver Version10.18.14.4029Video Card 2NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860MManufacturerNVIDIAChipsetGeForce GTX 860MDedicated Memory4.1 GBTotal Memory4.0 GBPixel Shader Version5.0Vertex Shader Version5.0Hardware T & LYesVendor ID Device ID Plug and Play ID Driver Version9.18.13.3250Memory16 GBOperating SystemMicrosoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bitService Pack0Size64 BitEditionBasicVersion6.2.9200Locale0409BIOS9ECN37WW(V2.01)VersionLENOVO 9ECN37WW(V2.01)ManufacturerLENOVODate Sound Device 1Realtek High Definition AudioDriver Version6.0.1.7195Sound Device 2NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)Driver Version Sound Device 3Razer Surround Audio ControllerDriver Version Thanks for any help provided.

Wow headset audio delay

By the way when i am using built in speakers or even airplay speakers its all normal and there is no delay at all
wow headset wired

The headset works for me... but the control panel does not.
I get this error:
None of the features work. Not EQ, not voice FX, not THX - NOTHING.
And there is no way to clean uninstall to reinstall the drivers - I am having to manually sniff around the system folder... Try and resintstall - same issue.
Is there not a Beta Driver we can try and help with?
Cause this is an expensive failure right now.

WoW Headset help

I'm sure this is a simple issue but I am not figuring it out...
I received my WoW headset today and it arrived without the software or user guide (??) but I didn't think this was a big deal as both were downloadable. I installed the driver/software from the site. The sound is fine and apparently I can be heard clearly over the mic to others but I can't hear myself and VoiceFX is not working. I'm also not getting the "talk" sound when I push to talk on Vent. I'm guessing there is just some mic setting I've missed somewhere. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Broken Sound Blaster WoW headset

Well, I'm one of several it seems whom also have a broken earcup piece on my WoW headset, I've had no response from customer support in the 24 hours they said it would take to get in touch with me, and I would appreciate a response of some kind. Send me a private message or heck even email me directly, don't really care, just want to get this issue resolved, or alternati'vely I will never buy a product with the creative branding ever again.

Sorry about that, the office is closed during the hoildays and weekends. Let me find out what's going on and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

It is possible to transmit voice from a Headset Microphone to Iphone5?

I am planning to run Yoga classes in the near future and will need a headset microphone so my class can hear me clearly. I would like to use my Iphone5 in a speaker dock and was wondering if I could transmit sound from a (preferably) wireless headset with built in microphone through to my iphone and out of the speaker dock?
Many thanks for any help.

WoW Headset Stolen Wireless Receiver

Greetings,
I bought my WoW Headset from Amazon, and i didn't had any problems, but i took them to a convention and somehow my wireless receiver was stolen.
Mailed Creative labs several times, their answer is they don't have parts and can't replace my functioning headset for another for little money, they want me to buy another one.
So, I have a some of questions:
- Is there a way to make them work with the usb cord that is included? I don't mind using them this way.
- Can i use another wireless receiver from another wow headset? If so will someone who something else is not working will sell it to me?
- Can i buy a 3rd part wireless receiver that can work with my headset?
Please help me, I really don't want to buy a whole new headset for something that could be replaced at a lower cost.
Thanks
Faustino Cantu

Optical Audio Through X-Fi to WoW Headset

I have my consoles hooked up to my PC through the optical jack in the front panel of an SB-X-Fi Platinum Fatality Champion Series and the line-in jack in the rear. This audio works fine when outputting to speakers. However, I just got the WoW Wireless Headset, and it is not transmitting that signal. The headset works perfectly for PC-based games and music, but for some reason it will not take the audio input signals and transmit them to the headset. I've set the headset as the default audio device in the control panel (Win 7 64-bit), and have checked every setting I can find in the Creative Audio Console both for the sound card and the headset, but with no luck. No matter what, the console audio always outputs to the speakers rather than the headphones.
Anybody have any ideas for how to make this work?
Thanks.

Boojum,
The WoW headset functions as a separate audio device on it's own, you cannot have both the sound card and headset working at the same time.

Microphone Issue's

I'm testing out adobe audition 3 and im having microphone issue's. Im tryin to record with a Blue Snowball USB Microphone, but after i go to Audio Hardware setup and set everthing to ASIO4ALL apply and press ok, i press record and it gives me a message that states, " The currently selected audio driver is not availible. Another application may be using the same driver or the device may not be properly connected or powerd. You can select a new driver using the Audio Hardware Set Up option." I was thinkin it was because i also have mixcraft 4 armed with the ASIO4ALL driver but than i disabled it and still no luck with adobe. Any suggestions?
P.S. : Does anyone have a link to get Adobe Audition 3 for free?

Apostrophes.
