Hi forum,
Just bought a USB headset for my son's PS3. It is a Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000. I plugged it into the USB port 1 on the PS3 and then went to Settings: Audio Settings and I found my device on input and output device ok. I set my microphone level to the highest and I could hear my voice on the headphones clearly and it showed on the bar meter well.
I selected ok and then started my game, but no sound can be heard through the headphones.
Is it that this type of headset is just not compatable with the PS3 or have I missed something out? There is an inline control on the headset; when you press mute a light comes on and it has a volume control on it, but you cannot alter the volume on game play and its the same with mute on or off.
Has anyone any ideas please? Thank you. :4-dontkno

i know this is a late reply, and probably may not help you unless you come back on to computer juice again,


but alot of games dont support sound being sent through a usb to the headphones, only a few games do it, but most do not, the only use the usb has is for connecting the microphone and dosent work the other way round, you should be able to hear voices through your TV speakers, just tell your son to hang the headphones around his neck, with the microphone pointing towards him, this way he can hear whats on tv, and use the microphone to talk,

if the initial idea was for him to be able to play on the game, but keep the rest of the house quiet, try a set of headphones that use the headphone jack on your tv
