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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Spare USB Cable For WOW Headset

    Does anyone if I can buy a replacement cable for the WOW headset (the wired one) as i snapped the mini usb jack on mine.
    I tried plugging in a few I had around the house and even a couple I bought from the store but the plastic housing on the mini-usb endpoints are all too "fat" and won't get fully past the plastic moulding on the headset and so they keep falling out.
    is it possible to buy a replacement cable from creative, or does anyone know where i can pick one up with a "thin" housing and preferably a cloth anti-tangle cable as well

    Try to get in touch with customer support and see if they could help you. If I'm not wrong, for the wireless one, you can purchase the USB transmitter separately but I don't know about the USB model if you can get just the USB cable.

  • 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!

    Hello Stevenc52,
    Welcome to Creative forums!
    Here's an article from the knowledge base that addresses this issue. Hope this hel

  • 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.

  • WoW headset not charging

    My fairly new (bought in dec 200) wireless WoW headset can't seem to be charged anymore. Tried various permutations of usb ports and cables but no help.
    Any advice?

    Hi,
    Sorry about the headset, It's best that you write to support for help since you have already tried various USB ports and cables.

  • How do I use Airport Extreme to act as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro?

    Hello -
    I'm trying to use an Airport Extreme (1st Generation) as a wireless receiver for a Mac Pro but I can't figure out how.  My main modem / wireless router (non-Apple) is upstairs.  My Mac Pro is down stairs.  I'm looking to get internet connection for that Mac Pro downstairs.  Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
    Thanks for the help.
    Nathan

    Is it possible to use the Airport Extreme to connect the Mac Pro to the wireless internet provided by my wireless router?
    Unfortunately, Apple designed their routers to work with other Apple routers. It would be extremely unilikely that the AirPort Exteme could be configured to work with a router from another manufacturer.
    The AirPort Extreme would need to be configured to "Extend a wireless network", but an error message is almost surely to occur when you try this.
    There are other alternatives, but they would involve more hardware. Post back if you are interested.

  • Wireless receiver not picking up recordings

    My wireless receiver isn't picking up my recordings. I can check what is getting recorded but not my actual recordings. This just happened maybe today. I factory reset it and reset the gateway. I don't know what to do now.

    I'd do a whole house reboot.
    Unplug the RG and DVR and STB(s)and any WAP for wireless receiver(s), wait 30 seconds and plug the RG back in.
    When that turns all green, then plug the DVR back in and wait until it reboots. Then if there is a WAP, plug it in and let it turn green.
    Then plug in the STB(s), wait til it reboots and see if recordings will play on the wireless STB.

  • Wow headset audio delay

    hello
    i am currently using mac os x mountain lion (clean install) with support team updated drivers (drivers on the website are not working so they sent me modified ones) but i have a audio delay issue. i.e. when i shoot the sound is coming after fire like 100ms. its a little delay but it already ruins my game experience. please help me to fix it. 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.

  • HT202124 Is plug in a USB wireless receiver (Logitech Unifying Receiver) prevents Macbook Pro Retina going to standby mode?

    As the title implies, is this prevent Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) from going to standby mode? It's not convenience to unplug the wireless receiver every time I don't use the notebook though.

    That kind of panic can be caused by an adapter for an external display that isn't connected to anything. See this thread.
    There are also reports that the panic may be triggered by waking an external display from sleep. To test that theory, open the Energy Saver preference pane and click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Move the Display sleep slider all the way to the Never position on the right. See whether there's any change.

  • WIRELESS RECEIVER WONT CONNECT

    MY WIRELESS RECEIVER WONT CONNECT TO MY LINK FROM THE BASEMENT.  IT WORKED WITH A SMALL TV AND NOW I HAVE REMODELED MY BASEMENT WITH A 60" BIG SCREEN AND THE REMOTE RECEIVER SAYS IT CAN NOT FIND THE NETWORK.   ANY COMMENTS ON THIS?  NEED  HELP!      

    How did the distance to the WAP change? THe WAP should be more than a meter from the RG. Move the WAP to a better location. Make sure it is powered & connected to the RG.

  • Recommend wireless receiver/dongle for 0s 9.1 on PPC7200

    Hi
    I've been dusting off my 7200/120 running OS 9.1 and have installed a Dolphin USB 2.0 pci card and Targus powered hub. I'm wanting to connect the 7200 via wireless to my physical LAN in the other side of the house and have installed a NetComm Super-G Wireless Gateway NB600W. The NetComm works perfectly with a PBG4/OS X 10.4.10 running Airport.
    The 7200's USB is working well and have a number of peripherals running OK including a Logitech LX5 cordless optical mouse (running Logitech's MouseWare software) and Iomega USB Zip drive etc and all work OK. Last thing I need is a wireless receiver either as USB dongle or some sort of device. I've tried a D-Link DWL-G122 dongle but struck out finding any OS 9 drivers.
    can anybody recommend anything? TIA

    The DWL-G122 (there are a number of similar devices on the market) mentioned by Claudio Pompili connects to a USB port. This can be useful for computers without built-in wireless capabilities or without a PC Card slot. Since USB is not primarily intended for networking (and since the Mac drivers may be difficult to find), an Ethernet wireless bridge (sometimes called a gaming adapter) is often a better solution.

  • Wireless receiver for Visio

    I'm wondering if there is a wireless receiver, Creative or 3rd party, for the Vision M (or other mp3 player, for that matter) which would allow you to play music from your PC, or by using subscription services like Yahoo! or Rhapsody.
