How do I get microsoft live chat wireless headset with skype?

Hi, I have a microsoft wireless chat headset that I bought only to use with skype--I don't want to download the microsoft chat program. How do I get it to work with Skype? Do I have to go ahead and download the microsoft chat program in order to activate the headset? I have already charged the headset. I tried going to the control panel, audio, but did not see the headset, although I have plugged in the receiver. Thanks,

Normal 0 Make sure you select the wireless when you do the setup.

Also send this to your family and friends so they have their computer setup properly.
Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

Skype Setup:
After downloading and installing Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/beta/downloading/) set it up as follows:

  1. Go to Tools, then Options, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
  2. Then click on the Video Settings.
  3. The camera if Installed Properly will come up and show a video picture.
  4. Then, on the bottom of the page click on Save.
The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now be able to see and her to you.
Hope this helps. Bud

You need to go into skpe and choose XBOX 360 device as default under the options in skype for audio

make sure it is on, it is deceptive and make sure that you have sync it. I couldn't get the speakers to work and actually found out it was that when i was fiddling with it i kept accidentally turning the volume on the headset down, suprisingly easy to do

the problem i have is when i am walking around i can't get the headset to answer the phone because the button that makes calls in windows live only works for windows live. \

my thoughts are that perhaps there is a shortcut key that relates to that button? if there was then you could make the answer shortcut the same. anyone one know what the short cut is i have tried quite a few combo's

Microphone doesnt work with skype

I've heard of this problem alot, I took 10 minutes today with my friend with this headset to figure out a fix.
From what i can tell, Skype doesnt pick up the Microphones input.

The only solution I could figure out so far has been this.
A voice changing program called MorphVox Pro (by Screaming bee) offers a Trial.
If you download it, and set up your microphone on this to work, You can then in skype select the MorphVOX Pro as your microphone, and you can use this chat program to work with your headset.
This is only a temporary fix But it is a step in the right direction, I'll be forwarding my email to Razer later to try and get some updates for the headset.

Best Regards
Ricky.

Can't hear through my xbox headset I can talk through it (and people can hear me), but I can't hear through the headset. I can, however, hear people's voices through my tv speakers. My headset's volume...

In the settings menu for under Xbox dash board, there is a place to select how you want to listen, either through the stereo or TV speakers or through the headset. There is also a selection for headsset/stereo..

Every time i go into any live chat it echos for ever and never stops it unbearable i don't use them for chat ever my friends can't stand it

I found this on the Turtle Beach website: __________________________________________
If you or other players hear echoes in Live Chat:
Does it happen if you use the Microsoft communicator? Mute the microphone on your headset. Does the echoing stop? In the Xbox Dashboard > Settings > Live, set the voice to Play Through Both and unplug the talkback-controller cable. Does the echoing stop?
Echoing can sometimes be caused by high latency ("lag") on your internet connection. This may come and go depending on how much bandwidth is being used in your area.
If your talkback-controller cable's plug gets dirty, this can also cause echoing or static. Also check the input jack on the controller and make sure no foreign objects are in there.
Read these links for more advice:
Echoing can be caused by "a poor connection between the headset and the controller." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912493 "The most likely cause is either a plug that isn't pushed all the way in, or gunk on the plug." http://xboxelle.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!1pUP4M-J1d781v7Ac0Ta8FDw!158.entry "If you hear echo, then... someone in the chat session... needs to clean off their metal headset plug." http://majornelson.com/archive/2005/12/25/get-rid-of-voice-echo.aspx

Hello,

My name is ArmyMason, I have a suggestion for you. In Internet Explorer click on file and see if Work offline is checked. If it is unchecked it and try again. If this solution doesnt work might I suggest using our premium service or live chat.

Thanks,
