Need Help with sound

[QuietStorm]

I have a new soundcard and my headset doesn't work now.

Do I have wrong settings?

Don't know what I have to do:down:

Here's what I can suggest:

On the first screen - the one with the sound options...
Choose "Options" in the upper-left, then properties.
The item listed next to "Mixer Device" should be your headset.

Also you can go to control panel ->Sounds and Audio Devices

The item listed there should also be your headset (assuming it's plugged in).

The tab for Audio should have the headset listed in the first two sections.
The tab for Voice should also have the headset listed in both sections.

These are all things I check when my headset doesn't work. I have a logitech USB plug and play headset and it's worked great for me so far.

By the way, I'll hang out on the TS server for a few if you want to check again. I saw you had it up on your screen shot.

Check out this picture.

I am ASSUMING your headset has a cord with 2 plugs at the end of it.

IF this is the case, one plug is for the headphones, and the other plug is for the microphone.

The plug for the headphones should be plugged into the GREEN plug, or one marked "Line Out/Audio Out/Something like that"

The plug for the microphone should be plugged in the PINK plug, or the one marked 'Microphone' or something similar.

This is what I'm talking about:

Here are a couple of step-by-step shots for one of the most common causes for the "I can hear you but you can't hear me" syndrome of headsets.

Notice by the way, in the first screen shot ALL the boxes at the bottom of the sliders are blank. THEY SHOULD ALL BE BLANK!

nice sound card. It's the best actually.

Considering the unit you have is what I have I will ask you if you have the front piece as well. The thing that takes up a bay in your tower where you can plug your headphones and mic and other things into? If so make sure the volume is up on that device by turning it all the way clockwise.

Having this card in, you should have the onboard audio disabled in the bios. there is no reason to have this enabled and if you do it can cause conflicts and could be the reason audio is not coming out of the XFI.

Ok as much as Bingo offered which was very nice of him, I must ask you to strictly use the software that came with your SB XFI unit. Use the wizard to enable what you want and also configure it for head phones and not any sort of 7.1 surround. there will also be a a tester you can use in the software to optimze the audi with your speakers/headphones.

Now if you do not have the front piece and just the card, make sure you have the headphone jack in the correct port. simple way of testing this is have a song playing and move it into the one you think is right. For th record it, a sticker might have come with the card which gets put on the card before installing. The sticker will have color codes that tell you what each port does. The green is your first speaker output. I wont bore you with that though and I will reference my card and tell you where it should be plugged in.

Looking at the back of the system. From the left I have a midi or game port, center port (orange/gold)---Rear port (black) front port (green) Mic port (light blue)

Now I am not sure if we have the exact same version but I do know for sure that you will want to plug you head phones into the 3rd port to the right of the midi/game port. That will be front speakers.

If you still do not have sound, try to use another set of headohones/speakers to make sure if there is audio coming out of the unit. Make sure you have uninstalled all other sound drivers such as if you had onboard audio enabled.

The first thing is check to make sure your headphones are plugged in to the correct port/jack and then make sure you have working headset.
