Feedback is a sharp, loud noise that can come through the earphones of a headset unexpectedly---it occurs when the headset is getting sound (feed) from someone else speaking or playing music into a microphone. This sound can create a dangerous situation for someone who is operating expensive equipment or flying a plane at the time since it can disable hearing temporarily. If you experience feedback often, it could also lead to serious hearing problems.
Mic Too Close to the Speaker or Volume Too High The main cause of a feedback sound in a headset is proximity to a speaker. If a person holding a microphone on the other end gets too close to a speaker, it creates a loop of re-amplified sound that results in the loud, screeching noise. When the volume on the other party's microphone is too high, it is more vulnerable to picking up unwanted noise and feedback from speakers and sound output devices in the room. So make sure that you ask the other party to turn down the microphone to a normal level and stay far from speakers. b> Two Microphones Gathering Same Sound b> When the other party places two microphones too close to each other, it could cause feedback. When positioned toward the sound source (such as a person speaking) the microphones will both pick up the same audio and compete with each other when creating the output of sound, causing a sharp noise in your headset. This problem, called acoustic phase interference, is resolved by simply ensuring that the other party uses one microphone at a time. Poor-Quality Headset or Microphone b> One common cause of feedback is simply a poor-quality headset or microphone. Most modern headsets and microphones have noise-canceling features that manage and kill feedback before it has a chance to occur. These noise-canceling headsets are essential for pilots and aviation crew members. If you hear sudden feedback that is strong enough to hurt your ears, the headset or microphone is simply not properly equipped to actively cancel that unwanted noise before it hits your ears. Buy a higher-quality noise-canceling headset to manage the feedback noise when you're going about your tasks. Hope this helps.
<p>There may, of course, sounds from a microphone, because
there is a speaker, but you can use sounds from a microphone or something speakers
connected to the microphone system is played. Computer games, but might sound a
bit complicated because they usually lead to loud sounds into the microphone to
a number set. <br />
<p><br />
<p>1. Find the computer that you want to play sound. Go to
Control Panel and click on "Hardware and Sound." Under
"Sound" in "Changing the system sounds." You can access
various Windows sounds by selecting them and clicking "Test". <br />
<p><br />
<p>2. External speakers to the sound card or audio output on a
laptop. With active speakers is recommended, the stronger the better. Set the
microphone in front of the speaker. <br />
<p><br />
<p>3. Connect the microphone and play the sound from computer
speakers. That should pass the microphone for recording or performing live. <br />
which operating system do you use?
and check the sound driver from { if windows,right click my computer then click manage then device manager, see there is sound driver is installed or not.} if not then install sound driver.
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.
I personally owned this item, they were great until an inadvertant accident just slightly extended its coord a few days ago, greatly destroying all sound effects other than music. All you have to do to get yours to play sound out of the headset is go into the control panel option. from there, go to Sound. You will find that there are your speakers and your headset if plugged in. All you have to do is right click the headset icon and choose the option "Set as default device" or something to that nature. To be sure they are working properly, right click the icon again and hit the "Test" button, you should hear two jingles, each coming out of a distinguishable earphone. If you find your programs or internet pages not playing sound through your headset at first, simply close them and re-open them. I had the same problem and am now actively searching for my own 2nd pair to replace my poor broken ones =(. I hope my post helped you solve your problem. =)
I have the same problem. I suspect that this headset is not USB compatible at all. It possibly only uses the USB connection as a source of power (for the vibration effect). This is a problem for me because I wanted to use the headset on a PS3. Saitek don't claim that it works with the PS3, but the claim of USB compatibility is ambiguous and misleading in my opinion.
That sounds alot like the microphone booster in control panel. Depending on what version of windows your are using, you can just open the sound control from the taskbar and go to the advanced settings and uncheck the setting "microphone booster". Adjust microhpone volume accordingly.
XP: Windows Control Panel / Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices / Sounds & Audio Devices or Right-click speaker icon in system tray and select "Adjust Audio Properties"
Volume / Device Volume: Make sure “Mute” is NOT checked in this window. Volume / Device Volume / Advanced: If there is no “Microphone” section in this window, go to Options / Properties and check “Microphone” in the “Playback” list. Then make sure “Mute” IS checked in this window
Audio / Sound Playback: Your on board sound/Sound Card Audio / Sound Recording: Your on board sound/Sound Card Audio / Sound Recording / Volume: Make sure "Microphone" is selected and the volume slider is at the center or higher Audio / Sound Recording / Volume / Advanced: If “Microphone Boost” or “20db Boost” is present, select it
Vista: Windows Control Panel / Hardware and Sound / Sound / Manage Audio Devices or Right-click speaker icon in system tray and select "Playback devices"
Playback: Your speakers or on board sound/Sound Card must appear in this list, and must show “Working” Playback: Select your speakers or on board sound/Sound Card, then click “Set Default” Playback / Properties / General: Device Usage: “Use this device (enable)” Playback / Properties / Levels: “Mute” is not on, volume slider in the middle
Recording: Your Microphone or on board sound/Sound card must appear in this list, and must show “Working” Recording: Select your Microphone or on board sound/Sound Card, then click “Set Default” Recording / Properties / General: Device Usage: “Use this device (enable)” Recording / Properties / Custom: If “Microphone Boost” is present, select it. Recording / Properties / Levels: Microphone volume should be centre or higher Recording / Properties / Levels: If there is a “Mute” button, it must not be on
Skype / Tools / Options / Audio Settings:
Microphone: Your headset/mic or USB device or Web cam mic, as you prefer Speakers: Your headset, USB device or speakers, as you prefer Ringing: VoIPVoice USB Phone or on board sound/Sound Card; also tick Ring PC speaker
Note: The audio devices you want to use MUST be present in these Skype device lists. If they are not, check the device connections and driver installations again.
2. Microphone and Speaker connections
Check if your mic (pink) and speaker (lime) jacks are in the proper sockets (it is easy to reverse them) and fully inserted (they sometimes stick only partially inserted) If your microphone or headset has a “Mute” switch, make sure it is not on If your speakers or headset has a volume control, make sure it is turned up For test only you can use an earphone instead of microphone (really)! Just unplug the microphone, plug the earphone into the microphone jack, and talk into your earphones. (I know it sounds silly, but it might tell you if your microphone is defective) A standard microphone plugged into Line In will NOT work.
3. Check audio in Windows.
XP: Start / All Programs / Accessories / Entertainment / Sound Recorder
Make a short recording with the microphone; you should see the level meters moving as you speak. On Windows XP, you can then play back what you recorded.
4. Once done, test with Skype Test Call (echo123).
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.
