I just bought a cheap Plantronics headphone/mic combo and I can't get the microphone to work.  Anyone have advice?

Ah, that fixed it, thanks.

EDIT:  ARRGH!  Now when I get on teamspeak everything that comes through the earphones goes though the mic!

Make the mic visible in your playback sound settings, and mute it..It is probably on under playback..Mine does that for some reason as well...

Control Panel/Sound and Audio Devices/Audio/Sound Playback(or Play Control)/Volume/Options/Properties/   --- Check "Microphone" so it shows up with a volume slider under Playback(or Play Control) and mute it.

I just unmuted the mic so I could talk.  I want to talk, but I don't want what goes through the headphones to go back through my mic.

I mean to mute the Mic only under Playback, not Recording...Are you sure you are muting the one under Playback and not under recording?

I have a Plantronics headset too, it does the same thing to me, I believe the problem is just that the mic is on under playback as well as under recording...Mine does this for some reason, and it creates an echo effect through the mic.  Just make sure you make the mic visible under playback so you can mute it, and make sure the mic is checked under recording devices....


Edit:  Make sure you are not using Mic2 port.....If you are, you will need to make that visible under Playback, and make sure it is muted as well.
