Xbox wireless PC receiver

Anyone use one of there?

I just bought one to use my wireless 360 controllers on the PC but when I connect the receiver via USB, all sound on the PC stops. No sound will play but if I unplug it its fine.

The controller works fine otherwise.

I'm using Vista 32.

Could it be setting the port where the headset plugs into the controller as the primary sound device.
Can't think of what else it could be.

I hope not, hate to have to use that mic/headphone just to hear sound :/

I have problems with mine too. Its VERY power hungry - I have to unplug everything else USB apart from the mouse, otherwise the receiver wont sync with the joypad.

sound like this

plug it in and go into your sound settings and see if its changed the primary output device

It used to do this with my wireless pad, as people stated above it is simply setting the headset attachment as the primary output device, just switch it back to your soundcard.

Bloody annoying tbh.

Yeah, after connecting a controller, it made the headset the primary audio device.
