Hi Thomas, nothing happens when I disconect, though sometimes I don't hear sound at all and have to re-boot the whole system, even Jaws seems to stop talking, I'm in 2 minds whether to take them back to the shop, although it'd be a shame to do that as their quality is really good and has boosted my aim in Swamp. Thanks from Lori.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] USB headset problem

Hi Lori,

What happens when you reboot? The reason I am asking is I also have a
set of USB headphones, and I'm quite familiar with the problem you
describe below. Usually rebooting the computer with the headphones
plugged in resolves the problem.

Interesting enough, though, I seem to have the opposite problem  here.
If I'm listening to a book or movie in Windows Media Player the sound
of the book or movie will come out of the USB headphones, but my
screen reader, NVDA, will still be talking out of the laptop speakers.
Its a strange problem, and one I still haven't figured out quite yet.
So far the only resolution to the problem I've found is simply to
shutdown and reboot Windows with the headphones plugged in and then
NVDA and everything else works as they are suppose to.

BTW, I'm running Windows 7 here on my laptop so the issue isn't just
specific to Windows XP. Although, my desktop is running XP SP3, and I
haven't seen this problem on the desktop. Just my laptop running Win
7.

Cheers!

Hi everyone, I'm sorry this isn't strictly audio game related, but yesterday
I got a new USB headset.  It seemed to be working fine, but today I've
started having issues where I hear jaws through the headset, but computer
sounds play through the laptop speakers. I've checked in the control pannel and under sounds and audio devices, I set playback and recording device to
the headset and saved the settings, but it doesn't seem to work.  Could
someone advise what to do, it's almost as though it isn't connecting
anymore, yet when I plug it in I do hear a sound like some feedback letting
me know it's trying to work.  I'm using windows xp on a laptop and have
tried the headset in all the usb ports.  Also sometimes when I insert the
usb cabel it brings up the found new hardware wizard, so maybe it's
something to do with the usb software.  Hope someone can help, i'm at the
hair pulling out stage, as it failled just as I was smashing zombies in
Swamp.  Thanks from Lori.
