Hi,

AS has been posted here 400 times, it is your sound card that needs to be checked.

i have tons of other mics used with that sound card, soo i dont think its the sound card. i think that all the logitech clearchat stereo headsets are a peice of **bleep** and they need to ship them back

FIXED. I plugged my mic port into my digital sound port(blue port) and it is working now... no thanks to you mike

Hi,

I must have missed all the details of your sound card and the fact that you have extra mic ports on your soundcard.

Also, I see that it was not the fault of the headset, but lack of knowledge about the soundcard operation.

You're welcome.

Its my lack of knowledge that i searched on the internet that the clearchat stereo headset microphone port does not work if you put the MICROPHONE PEICE in the MICROPHONE port on your soundcard and not just on my card but mulitiple cards.... and yet it says on the instructions in the manual to put the it in the MICROPHONE port instead of putting it in the Digital Port? I'am sorry that it wasnt obvious that i should just guess to put it in the Digital sound port.

Hi,

It's my guess, as I still don't know what sound card you have, that the "blue" port doubles as a digital optical out AND an analog mic in. This should be clearly marked on the documentation of your sound card.

Hi there, iv' been reading about the headset and im sorry but for me you could be talking chinese and it would be the same.  I'm working from home and the headset that I have now is a piece of (word filter evasion).  So the office gave me a Clear Chat Stereo but the mic is not working.  What should I tell the guys at our IT department so they can make it york
