Microphone Sound
I have the same issue.
The setup is Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit loaded on an Asus P5N32-E SLI PLUS mainboard with a Creative Sound Blaster Xtreme Gamer sound card recieving from a Logitech headset. I have checked and double checked the following: mute button, correct ports, line volume, internal volume, record device priority, headset input jack integrity, and other headsets. Everything in the "duh" catagory checks out. This card and headset have worked in numerous set-ups I have used in the past, including Windows XP and XP-64. I have tried numerous driver re-download/reinstalls and two OS reinstalls. Nothing seems to work. I've noticed quite a few others who have this exact issue but differing hardware less the sound card and OS. Therein lies the souce of my problem. Any help, if possible, would be much appreciated.

hi. same issue, but in windows 7 (64bits) . I've read around that changing the sound quality fixes the problem in vista (64) and in W7 (64), but... any ideas about what to do if I don't have lower quality options. my list starts with CD as lower option. thx -- fgouvrit Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Hi, fgouvrit.
You posted your question on the Vistaheads "forum". All Vistaheads did was forward your bare-naked post - with no context - to the Usenet newsgroup on the Microsoft public news server - where it is being read by me and millions of readers around the world. But since Vistaheads did not bother to send any context, we have no idea what "same issue" you're asking about. Why not "cut out the middleman" and post your question - with some details - directly to: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...rdware_devices Someone here can probably help you, but we get frustrated with messages being inconsistently and undependably relayed back and forth between "forums" such as Vistaheads and this newsgroup here on the Microsoft server, which is free and does not require you to log on.
