Headset problems...

[Jakemac]

Hello everyone tonite I was playing DoD and Bunnies told me my mic was acting up... Well I took a look at it and I found that my headset wasnt working properly... So I posted this to ask what a good headset that has a mic attached to it would be. (logitec...) Oh and the headset I have is a logitech.

You don't need any special headset. Mine is $15 cheapie and runs fine.

 

[Jakemac]

What kind is it?

Altec-Lansing A-633 a link is here: http://www.computers2go.com/productlist.asp?subcategoryid=9&categoryid=1

The only reason I picked one up was a spare in case my other died - which it did after the wires were pulled once too often.

....but just about any will do. Chat doesn't need a whole lot of horsepower, just a reasonable mic. Small computer stores are better than Best Buy. 10$ - $15 is fine. A buddy of mine spent about $45 on his and I didn't notice any appreciable difference between the sound between his and mine.

Alright i'll look into that one. Thanks.

 

[Redshift]

Cool, just don't let a fast talking salesperson talk you into something expensive you don't need. Headphones for music....you want something reasonable....but headset for chat in a game...meh, whatever does the job.

 

[Jakemac]

I agree. Most of the time when a salseman is talking I have to correct every word he says. Like he told me this zip card I bought had 3 Kg hertz. Lol. I told him "do you mean 3 gigs?" and he goes "oh yea, whatever." they will hire anyone at best buy... so sad... But thanks again redshift.

haha i think that is pathetic.. i actually know what is what on computers my brother made 3.. and were going to re build mine so it runs faster... Ya.... i have i think a logitech one that works perfectly that my dad payed 25 bux for.... it people say the voice noice level is low...

 

[Jakemac]

I just bought one yesterday. $25 and it works awsome. Thanks for all the help!

 

[VerTikAl]

[jesus_saves]

i'm having a little problems with my mic... i tried using my mic during gameplay but all that comes out is crazystatic and a choppy voice.. does anyone know what could be the problem? tia =]

I gave up with headsets. I had a fancy $60-70 one. After about a month or two i was spinning in circles with my headset on, and that was the end of it I then decided to get a mic that sat on my desk, which is also a good option. I also got a wireless headphones that rock. But there is no better way to play DoD:S than with a nice 5:1 200W Bass. boom boom says the bass

 

[Jakemac]

zebra if i were you id check to make sure there isnt anything in the mic like a crum or spit.. if there is nothing mite want to get another pair.

 

[[zoo] zebra [JONES]]

well... its brand new.


when i am on my desktop and i speak into the mic i hear my voice in my speakers.. lol. idk if that is supposed to happen.. i doubt it.

 

[Jakemac]

Yea, that is. Go to DoD then go to setting(in the menu) Then audio, microphone, then adjust it.

If that dosent work than take the f drive and the wxyz drive and atatch it to the i dont know and other letters for drives drive. (dont even lisen to that part lol)

I bought a cheap 15 dollar mic and headphone set and it has worked for over a year now!

I bought mine at a K-Mart. "Cyber Acoustics", unk model, about $ 14.00

 

[Kamakize Tommy]

mmm if your mic is breaking up stop that download you have going in the background. I use a logic tech that I paid $15 for at Walmart.
