XFi Vista 64bit and PC160 headphones?

iMacMart · 30 Sep 2007 at 21:01

Hi guys

Just done a fresh install of Vista 64bit and I have an XFi xtrememusic card in, I can't get my mic working correctly, it either doesn't work or when I play with the settings it works but I can hear myself talking, so it must be a setting I have missed somewhere?

It's doing my head in, can someone tell me the right settings to get this to work ingame please

Got the latest XFI drivers and Sennheiser PC161 headset (got it wrong in title)

No one got a similar setup that?

I would have though just installing the software and that would be it? But nope theres something amiss somewhere

4gb of RAM?

Yes?

But I didn't think the 4gb RAM thing effected mics? Am I wrong in thinking that?

I had the same problem, when it works and you can hear yourself through the speakers, right-click the speaker tray icon bottom right, click playback devices, click speakers, then goto properties, goto levels tab, scroll down until you see microphone and click mute

I think it does unfortunately, still waiting on the fixed driver myself before going back to my XFI.

On an x-fi fatality here, with vista 64, and 4gig ram, all works ok.

Checked microphone playback in the creative console??

Hi

What do you mean by check? Tick it on don't?

This was already setup as above

I needed to select microphone as my audio device and mute the line in.
