Re: logitech USB mic/headset not working?
Chris, In the skype software, itself, have you selected the headset as your input and output devices? Sounds as if you might have the headset selected as your windows default device, but not your skype device. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Hi all! I spent a little of my Christmas cash and bought a Logitech USB headset/mic combo today. When I got it home and plugged it into my USB port, all went correctly, windows saw everything it needed to see and it's being recognized. In the instructions, it says to make sure the headset is your default playback device in windows which, when it's plugged in, it is. When I unplug it, it goes back to my sound card. While it's plugged in to the USB port for some reason, certain sounds come through the headset, and other sounds come through the speakers. for example on a skype call, the person speaking comes through my speakers, but software speech from JAWS and other sounds can be heard on my headset. Not only that, but people tell me that the volume level is very low. I wanted to see if I could track the problem down, so I went into the windows volume control and made sure the mic was checked in playback. it wasn't, so I checked it and the mic level was only at like 19% so I kicked it up to 70% so I could test it. So when I did that, i made a call to echo 123 on Skype and tested it. I couldn't hear myself, which obviously means something is wrong, but I'm not sure what it is. I even made sure that the mic was unmuted in playbackso i'm not sure what the deal is. If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this, I'd very much appreciate it! ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Re: logitech USB mic/headset not working?
hello chris, i think the problem is that the settings in the skype software needs changing. open sky-pe and go to tools then options arrow down to sound devices and change the settings. your headset should appear inj the drop down list. change it to the headset and then try a test call. cheers anthony - Original Message - From: Chris Skarstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 4:08 AM Subject: logitech USB mic/headset not working?

Re: logitech USB mic/headset not working?
Chris, As far as your not hearing yourself when you call echo123: if you have the same Logitech headset I do, there is a round disc-shaped control dangling from the plug-in chord? The button on this control is a toggle on/off for the mic. There's no non-visual way to tell whether it's toggled on or off. It suddenly occurred to me smacks her head, that, maybe, the reason you don't hear yourself on echo123 is that you have this control toggled off. Try toggling it, and see if you hear yourself on echo123. This toggle control is the one thing I hate about my headset. It's always getting toggled by accident, and, of course, I don't realize that until I place a call and the party can't hear me, though I can hear them. Hope this IS your problem, as it's the easiest to track down and fix. BTW, if you find the headset shouting or whispering at you, the easiest place to adjust this is on the Voice tab of Sounds and Audio Devices, in control Panel. Finally, if you decide you want JAWS, and everything else besides your skype calls, to come through your speakers, not the headset (That's the way I prefer it.), let me know, and I'll give you the instructions on editing jwf.ini, so that the headset does not steal away the output of eloquence, every time you reboot your computer. Good luck. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S. Leslie, née C. R.

Re: logitech USB mic/headset not working?
Chris, Just so you realize, you have to do this for *both* your skype input and output devices, in separate drop-downs. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D. S.
