Can you use a 3.5mm phone headset with a PC?
Not yet on the desktops, but you can on some laptops. They would only have one jack instead of the typical two, and it has a symbol of a headset with a mic next to it.Again though... this is a feature being seen more on laptops (and tablets). On desktop boards, it is still a multi-jack connection cluster.That said... it wouldn't take much to wire a dual function jack onto a front panel audio header for a desktop case to connect to a standard motherboard front panel pinout. Some company has to either already make one, or someone has modded their case for this, but I can't find any pictures.
How do you plug the Plantronics Gamecom X40 headset your computer?
Evening Isaac! You need to find a 'Phono to 3.5mm stereo jack' cable. Check Poundland in town. Or I could drop one round to you tomorrow. Chat with Skype if you would like more info. When you have got your phono to jack cable, plug the small round single-plugged end into your Mac's headphone output. Then plug the other two ends into the connectors on your headphones. The USB just needs any old random port.
Turtle Beach PLa headset compatible with PS4?
I got this headset while I was using my PS3 and on the turtle beach website it says it is compatible with the ps4.. so I bought it. it works with chat, i'm confused on the audio part (to where I can hear through the speakers). This headset has the USB plug in for chat. then it has the two audio cables that i plugged into the Playstation cable they give you, which plugs into the back of the ps3. The ps4 does NOT have that port in the back. The link to the my headset is here: http://www.turtlebeach.com/product-detail/ps3-headsets/ear-force-pla/343?gclid=CJ_N6MbSzrsCFYlAMgod9BUAPQ It says: For full PS4™ compatibility you will need to PS4™ System Software Update 1.50 and have stereo output connection from TV or audio receiver for game audio. I have system software update 1.52.. I just need to figure out how to get the sound through the speakers! Thank you for any help you can offer! - Brenden
How do I connect two headsets directly to each other?
Using a Bluetooth headset at the office can help increase productivity while you are on conference calls or on customer calls. With your hands free, you can easily use your computer to look up an email to quickly answer a question on a call. Sometimes it may be desirable to directly connect with another Bluetooth headset and to talk to a co-worker who may be on the other side of the office.While this usage case is interesting, it is not possible with the way Bluetooth headsets are designed to operate. This is not a failing of the headset, but rather it is a function of how the Bluetooth specification defines the behavior of these devices.In the context of Bluetooth devices, "pairing" means the devices share a secure connection with each other so that it is not possible for another device to listen to the data or voice traffic. Pairing two devices with Bluetooth normally requires you to enter a PIN to complete the process. Pairing two headsets together makes this process difficult since there is not a good way for you to do this on a headset-to-headset connectionWhile it is true that there is no built-in supported method for an iPhone to connect to multiple sets of bluetooth speakers, it is possible to do so. You would need to get an additional device, a Bluetooth splitter. They generally plug in to the headphone jack, and will connect to at least 2 devices.Before i used to use PTron soundrush ,it was really felt free and comfortable . and easily paired never gets irritation on this in product . try this
How do I set up my Turtle Beach pla to my PC?
I recently bought a pla headset and need help setting it up on my Dell XPS 17. I have no idea how to do it. I've watched videos on how to do it but they don't help. I plug the usb cord into my laptop and I don't hear any sound. There's two jacks that come with it, a red one and white one but I don't know if I need to use those. Can someone help me out?
Why doesn't my headphone's mic work when I plug in the speaker(green port)?
The microphone is not connected. It is shorted to ground.You computer has an output (the green plug) that sends audio into your headphones. This port has no input capabilities. The computer likely has a separate input (often pink colored) that receives the incoming sound from the microphone. Plugged into the green port, you can still use the headphones because of the pin configuration of the plug. Notice that the plug on your headset has four contacts instead of the common three, but the first two, (the tip and the first ring,) are exactly where they would be on a regular, three pin headphone plug.The tip and first ring are the two signals for your left and right headphones. On a three pin headphone plug, the rest of the connector is one big contact. It is the ground for both. So, when you plug in this four pin connector, left and right headphones both work, but the two other connections are shorted together, serving as the ground for both headphones. The computer has no fourth connection for the microphone, so it doesn't go anywhere. Notice the difference between the two connectors in this picture. This is why the headphone portion still works. Unfortunately, the pink microphone port is wired on a computer the same way as a headphone port, making the assumption that you are using a three pin connector, so there is no accommodation for the separate third and fourth pin. You might have noticed that plugging the headset into the microphone port, you may get a bit of crude audio by shouting into the actual headphones. That is why this is the case.You would have to make up or purchase an adapter like the one Arno Brevoort mentions to pull this fourth contact and the ground to another plug for the pink (microphone) port on your computer.
What should I do if my MacBook headphone jack isn't working?
I've had this happen to me a couple times.First, try unplugging your headphones out and back in. Yes, sounds silly but sometimes it's that easy. (Happens sometimes if you can't seem to raise volume with keys on keyboard.If no luck...Try holding down the option key and click on the sound icon on the very top nav of your macbook. Doing this will reveal additional options(you can actually try this on most of the icons up there, like wifi). Check the "output device" and make sure it's not trying to send the audio elsewhere (such as apple tv). You should ideally see an option that says "headphones" on that list. Click it.If no luck..If you do not see headphones on the list described above, try a simple restart. That tends to get everything back to normal.
Static in my headphones with my macbook pro?
A couple of things to take into consideration: 1) Try switching headphones. If you don't have a second pair, try your headphones with another device (an iPod, a CD player, anything). Check to see if you get the same result. 2) Do you get the same static noise coming from the speakers, if you just play the sound out of there, without headphones? If you get the same result from your headphones on more than one device, then I think it's safe to assume it's your headphones. If your headphones work well with other audio sources, I would suspect your audio out port might be bad. That's usually a hardware thing. I ran into that problem once or twice when I worked at Apple in Technical Support, so I would test the headphones first, and then go from there. If you bring it in, be prepared to prove to the Mac Genius that your headphones are "known good" - i.e., proven to work with other devices.
