Help me get my headset working!

[ZK-Brock]

Hi guys
Under the recommendation of NZFF's "aviatior" I went out and bought a $70 logitech 250 headset. But it doesn't work. Here are my symptoms

• No sounds comes through the headphones or my desktop speakers
• In Sound Recorded, I get the error: Your audio hardware cannot record into files like the current file
• In Teamspeak I get this error: TDSoundOut.open(DirectSoundCreate): This function is not valid for the current state of the object.

I've updated my audio drivers today, still no luck

Help?

Can you confirm its a USB headset?

Alex

[ZK-Brock]

Yep, USB headset. It plugs into the USB. USB headset.

Did it come with any software?

Alex

[ZK-Brock]

Nope, plug n play.

Ok, from the Sounds and Settings thingy in the Control Panel, you should be able to select the headphone as the device you want to use...

Lol Alex, I've been sitting here for the last 4 hours trying to fix this bitching thing, do you not think I've tried that already!?

BTW come on msn if you want ;-)

[Alex]

Hahaha, of course, I will probably be able to come on MSN later tonight, I'm a little busy atm.

Righty-o Alex.

I might add that I don't think it's a problem with the Headset itself - if I turn all the volumes up and I speak into the mic I can hear it going back through the headset speakers.

YESYESYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It works now...but I don't know why.
