Mic on ps3 headset does not work

Hello my friend this should help you out.
please remember to leave a positive rating for me and a testimonial if I helped you out!

1. CompatibilityThe PS3 supports only one headset at a time. Multiple players on the same console will have to share.
Bluetooth:

• The PS3 uses Bluetooth version 2.0, and is compatible with all earlier versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2). 2009 may see version 2.1 Bluetooth headsets hit the market, so you will have to try it for yourself on PS3.
• All brands of Bluetooth headset should work with the PS3.

USB:
USB (wired) Headsets can also be used with the PS3.

• Any of the PS2 compatible USB headsets should work with PS3 games.
• USB headsets are required for PS2 software used on the PS3.

Not Compatible with Bluetooth Stereo Headphones:

• The Bluetooth audio signal for PS3 only carries voice chat. The game sounds and music are played through your TV or stereo receiver only.
• If you want to listen to the gameplay with headphones then they will have to be compatible with your TV or stereo receiver.

2. Setup
A Bluetooth headset has to be registered, or "paired", with your PS3 before it can be used.

• Make sure your Bluetooth headset is fully charged before you begin.
• Check your headset instructions for entering "pairing mode". Activate your headsets' "pairing mode" so it can be recognized by the PS3.
• On the Cross Media Bar (or XMB) of the PS3 go to the "Settings" tab, then down into "Accessory Settings", then down into "Manage Bluetooth Devices".
• With your headset in pairing mode, follow the onscreen instructions and let the PS3 scan for your headset. When your headset is found, follow the prompts and enter a pass key (if necessary- the default is usually 0000 for all brands). The pairing should now be complete.

If you're using a USB (wired) headset, just plug it into one of the ports on the front of the PS3 (the system should auto-detect the USB headset).

Mic Test and Volume Setting
After pairing a Bluetooth headset, or after plugging in a USB (wired) headset, return to the XMB. Go to "Accessory Settings" and choose "Audio Device Settings". You can test your headset here.

• Your headset should appear as the audio input/output device. If not, just use the D-pad to highlight the Input line, then scroll until you see yours. Any microphone you have used with your PS3 will be listed, but only the current one will be available to select.
• Set the "Microphone Level" to 3. You can change the level any time if needed.
• Speak into the headset, and the level bar at the top of the screen should move at the sound of your voice.

You can also view a list of Bluetooth accessories you have registered in the "Manage Bluetooth Devices" tab under "Settings".
If your mic doesn't appear there then try pairing it again.

There are more ways to configure the audio input and output that can be useful:

• Set the input to (your mic) and leave the output on (default)- one person can chat with the other players, and the replys will play over your TV speakers rather than into your mic. Great when sharing one console because everyone can hear the team talk.
• Set the input and output to (default)- you will hear the game sound and voice chat through your TV speakers but won't be able to talk back. Great if you don't have a headset, or if you want the room to hear the team chat.
• Set the output to (default) to use stereo headphones with your TV or receiver. Then set the input to (your mic) and you can chat while wearing stereo headphones. Keeping the mic close to your face could be a problem since both ears are already taken! You could try a USB desktop mic and see if that works.

and here's a video in case you are a visual learner.

Under the settings tab on the PS3 dashboard select (accessory settings) then select (audio device settings) then select input device and choose the mic that you are using.

if you had a broken cord connecting your mic to the headset that might be the problem.

On your ps3, go to accessory settings, then sound settings. Make sure the output device is the same as the input device, ie. your headset.
Hope i helped :)

it is because ur mike's talking thing doesnt work but listening thig does. you are going to have to buy differnt headset.

go to setting>accessory settings>audio settings
change the output to default and turn up the speakers to your television. make sure the input is logitech headset. talk through the mic you should hear your voice from the TV if not the headset is not working. call logitech for warranty info.

on socom you hold the L2 button to talk

may I ask u how long have u had this mic because I had mine for a while and this recently started to happen to me and because of the updates sony has been releasing I believe thats the cause because mine didnt start doing that until update 2.41 was released

ok first u have to go into the ps3 settings main menu then u go to accessory setting then audio device settings and then where it says input device hit it till it says ur accessory and then go to output device and do the same and then hit ok

hope this was helpfull

Yes you can. Just go to accessories or audio device settings. Have your headset on and hit connect bluetooth device. The key it asks for should be 0000. If that doesn't work do a quick search online and you should be able to find one that works.
