I am having trouble with my pc microphone.

[RussShooter]

hey guys this is my first post on this boards. i tried getting help from some other sites but no one really gave me any advice. i have a Logitech Precision PC gaming headset, but here was no installation disk, and its not a usb device. its just a headphone cord and a pink cord for the microphone, i need help with it because when i try to configure it for a game it gives me an error message that there was a problem during the DirectVoice setup. is there anybody that can help me. thank you in advance.

OK the headset is NOT a usb device correct? and it has the little 1/8" plugs? What kind of sound card do you have?

It's not a problem with the headset. It's just a mic and headphones, after all......no setup CD needed.

The error message you're getting is related to Windows and your game. Whatever voice chat program you're using needs DirectVoice installed. Typically, this comes with whatever voice chat/VoIP software you're using.

Also check with your game maker to see if they have a solution.

Out of interest...what game were you trying to set up and with what software?

My microphone died on me this weekend, though the headphones still works (turns out my bro chews the wire )

A good test for the mic would be to run windows sound recorder (start >> all progs >> accessories >> entertainment) then start it recording and see if it detects any sound, you may have the same problem as me...a lose wire etc.
