teamspeak, headphones and mics

by **sammy davis jr** » Mon Apr 05, 2004 6:52 pm

Just curious what you all use for teamspeak? I really only need a mic, but I might get a headset or a new set of headphones. Any recommendations or info is appreciated.

I used to use a pair of Sony Headphones, real nice (MDR-V300), which only cost `$50 at Best Buy when I got 'em. Currently I'm just enjoying my very expensive

speakers, and using the Silencer utility to mute them when I talk, which works great. The mic I use is a fairly cheap desk mic, works great, Labtech Verse 514.

I use a plantronics headset/mic that I bought at Staples for $ 25.00. They work great and the sound detail is very good too.

I use a Altec Lansing AHS 502 headset/mic. $39.95 at Best Buy.

Logitech headphones with built in mic and inline volume control, works great for 34.99.

THE BEST Headphones are the .audio 90's from Plantronics. Hands down, done deal. Best gaming headset you can buy.

This reminds me anyone know how to set up a non-usb headset in windows me. I dont have one of the tabs in the speech thing in my control panel like it says your supposed to have, nor do i have word which it says u can also use.

ugghhh. Windows ME, the worst operating system MS ever released. Do yourself a favor, upgrade to 2000/XP, or go back to 98SE. MS was so embarrassed by it, they dropped support for ME at least a year before they dropped it for 98se........

Ps., do you mean a headset, like headphones? those go in speaker jack

and i know wat u mean it has two jack pointer giver outer thingies one for mic and one for speakers i only really want to use mic though and i wont detect it

by **Bullhead** » Tue Apr 06, 2004 1:48 am

I would think it should detect it. If you mean that windows will give you a little pop-up message, or something, telling you about new hardware when you plug it in, then no. Mic just is or isn't plugged in, windows will always see the port (I believe). Sounds like a sound config/driver issues. May want to try updating/reinstalling drivers, may fix the issue. Kinda hard to say for sure.....

I picked up a Labtech 534 yesterday. How good is the response with your mic? I've got the mic level maxed out in the volume control, but it still seems too quiet...
