headset use

[ZU3S]

hi. i dunno if this is the correct spot for this question, but i recently installed teamspeak, but i don't know what headset i need for it to work. i have a regular skullcandy in ear headphones w/ mic so i thought i could use that since it has a mic also. is it possible for me to connect my headphones to the desktop and use the mic on the headphones and still be able to hear the others from the headphones. when i plug in the headphones, it asks me what i want. if i pick mic, i don't hear any sound from the headphones and if i pick headphones, i don't think the mic works. i really don't wanna spend $$ in buying a new headset. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. it said on the teamspeak window that microphone disabled...i dunno if it was mine or the channel... like i said i am new to teamspeak and haven't used it before. 

 

thanks in advance

Hi

 

With headphones with integrated microphones only have one AUX cable, which in your case your PC asks you which output you would like to use, Headphones or Microphone.

 

So you would need a headset, depending on brand they can range from £10 - £400, you can pick up fairly cheap headset's.

 

One i recommend is the Turtle beach x12's, they are fairly cheap but brilliant, great sound quality and great microphone.

 

Regards.

You'll need some form of headset to pc adapter for the microphone to work on your earbuds

^^ Exactly. I bought recently a headset for my cell phone and it came with an adapter to be able to connect it to a PC, something like this:

Ahh yes, and did this do anything at all?

 

I am on the ETS2 Teamspeak right now if you require any help?

Just a heads up in case you decide to buy a headset for your PC -> Don't.

Buy some good headphones instead and get yourself one of those attachable microphones. You will get a much better quality than any headset for that price can ever give you. Especially if there is a "gaming headset" tag in it.

That's not true. I paid 20 euros for a Logitech headset (very simple one) and it works pretty well. With headphones when talking everyone will hear the noise around you, while with a headseat which usually have a "special" microphone and the noise in the background won't be there.

[medmius]

Headsets don't have a "special microphone". At least the normal ones don't. Headsets combine cheap quality headphones with a cheap quality microphone and they cost significantly more than they would cost seperately. Not only do you get worse audio quality, you also have a worse build quality. They are more likely to break aswell and harder to repair since its all wired together in an awkward way.

Sure you can get a good headset. But you can get a better headphones + microphone deal when you buy them seperately for the same price.

 

And again, stay away from any headsets with a "gaming" attached to their name or anywhere near it.

[marco6158]

Get what you mean. By the way, I said "special" because I don't know how it's called exactly when the microphone is able to remove the background noise.

I understood you don't worry I think you meant to say noise-cancelling.

Hello,

 

1st of all any PC headset that is using dual Jack 3.5mm or USB it will work with TeamSpeak 3.

 

Secondly did you double check your Windows audio settings by checking if the device is active and selected? Image 1 Image 2 Also make sure you disable this Image 3

 

Check TeamSpeak 3 settings and choose the microphone that you want to use: Image 4

I am on the ETS2 Teamspeak right now if you require any help?

ok thanks. i think i've set it up right cuz before i couldn't hear any sound from the headphones but now i can but i havent talked with anyone on teamspeak so i dunno if others can hear me or not. so i went to google and tried using the search function via voice but it didn't pick so i dunno if it working.

There should be a testing option somewhere in Teamspeak. I know that Mumble and Ventrilo got one so I would imagine that Teamspeak would also have one.

If you click here you will connect to the ETS2 MP TeamSpeak server or ts3.ets2mp.com/ 

If you want to test your sound and your microphone you need to go here and here.
