This happened to me, and here is what I did... For some odd reason all of the lights and cords were plugged in correctly, except I could not hear the game chat. This happens when your headset is UNSYNCED. Take the headset back over to the xbox/ps3 and resync them. If that does not work, unplug every cable/wire to the headset (even from the xbox/ps3) reassemble it and sync it. It should work then. I have no idea why it will suddenly unsync, but fortunately it doesn't happen that often.

2006 dodge stratus won't crank and cruise control won't light

Must not have been much of a mechanic. If the engine runs and sounds fine sometimes and other times it doesn't then it does not sound like a mechanical problem with the engine. Sounds more like a issue with either the ignition system or fuel system.

When playing Halo Reach online I cant hear any friends in custom playlist. This is both in game and in lobby. If we join a chat party then we can hear each other fine though. When in matchmaking I can hear...

Depending on which type of chat session you are connected to... everyone needs to be in the same chat menu. Sometimes when switching from game chat to party chat you might still be stuck in game chat while others are in private chat or visa versa.

To talk to only players in your game: Press the Guide button, then select Party, Party Options, Chat Channel, and Game Chat.

To talk to only members of the party: Press the Guide button, then select Party, Party Options, Chat Channel, and Party Chat.

To mute an individual: Press the Guide button, then select Party, the player's gamertag, and Mute.

It is a possibility that you are not in the same chat session with your friends. they might be in a party chat with others while you are in game chat. (note you can only have a max of 8 people in one party chat) Or you might still be in a party chat (that everyone else has left) and they are in game chat.

My USB headset (Wintech...China) won't work with GT5. It works perfectly in PS3 chat and in audio device settings (menu). In game i can hear people talk but they can't hear me. Chat indicator...

Hi, this may not be super helpful but the only thing I can suggest with this problem is to go to your game options and see if you can change any settings for your microphone or headset through there. If you are still unable to find a solution try to unplug and reset everything.

If you still are having the same issue I suggest contacting either the headset's manufacturer for technical support, or the Playstation technical support.

I hope this helps

When playing online on my xbox 360, my tritton 180 universal headset works, but ppl can't hear me talk. Help.

Hi,

Do you have the chat cable connected?

Is the mic turned off on the inline volume controller?

Is the Chat volume turned up on the inline volume controller?

Test the microphone on a PC by plugging in the USB into a PC and test if it works.

If it doesn't then you can ask for a spare microphone from TRITTON / Madcatz.

If the mic works on the PC then the problem might be with the chat cable which you can also ask from TRITTON or Madcatz.

Hope it helps...

When I talk no one can hear me but I hear them

If your X3's microphone is working, you should be able to hear yourself in the headset when you talk into it. Plug the chat-controller cable in both the headset and the controller, then talk into the X31 mic. Can you hear yourself in the headset? If yes, then the microphone is OK but you probably need a new chat-controller cable. If not, then the microphone may be broken and you should contact Turtle Beach tech support at [email protected].

My turtle beach problem is that i hear no sound at all i cant hear chatting or the game audio

With the X1 plugged in, look at the white volume control box (on the main cable about a foot down from the headset). Is the LED on that box lit up green or red? If yes, then it's got power. If not, then the headset is defective and you should contact Turtle Beach about it. [email protected].
If the light is lit, then you might want to try testing the X1 with an iPod or other portable music player that has a 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone jack.
- Plug the X1 USB plug into a USB port on a PC, Xbox or whatever. - Plug the X1 green plug into the headphone jack on your player. - Turn the volume up about 1/2 way on the player and on the X1. - Play a track on the player.
Do you hear sound? If so, your X1 is OK, but you may need to adjust settings on your Xbox. If not, then you have a problem with the X1 and you should contact Turtle Beach about getting it replaced or fixed. [email protected].

I can Talk and hear game sound but i cant hear game or party chat

You probably kinked your controller cable. That will cause the mic to malfunction. You should purchase a new controller cable on TurtleBeach's website. They are only $4.95.http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/efx1a/replacementparts.aspx
Also make sure you have the Xbox Live settings on "Play through headset"
