hi
how do i connect the Microsoft LX-3000 Lifechat headphone to x box 360, i plugged the usb into the front of the x-box and its not working , i,ve got no drivers, but i can down load them , but what do i do with the drivers then?

try to isolate the issue. charge your device and use different cable and see if you will still get the same problem. it is also possible that the headset is faulty

With the infamous Vista, try:
Start --> Control panel --> Hardware and sound --> Sound --> Audio devices admin [I have a Spanish OS, I hope it is the same in the English version], then assign as default device the headset.

With Skype and other sw, you have to specifically pick the lx-3000 as the device that will be used as audio device (and the same has to be done to use the mic).

Pretty cumbersome....

You cant wire then directly there is a USB D-A chip that controls the headset converting to 1/8" mini plugs may work one for the mic and one stereo plug for the earcups

Windows 7? If so then right click on the speaker in the notification area in the bottom right hand corner of the screen select playback devices, and right click on the headset and select "set as default device".

Did they ever work or are you trying them on a new computer? They don't need switching on you just plug the plug into the audio out of your sound card or motherboard, make sure the mute button isn't selected on the inline remote. Play an mp3 on your computer, make sure the volume on your computer is turned up, plug in another known working set of headphones or active speakers make sure you can hear the music, then plug out those speakers and then plug in the headphones. Do they work when you try that?

turn down the volume and keep the microphone as far away from the earpieces as possible.
