Ok - here goes a semi-technical rant about my USB headset trouble today. Looking for some guidance if anyone knows how to fix this...
On Windows XP on my Dell laptop D600 I had no trouble setting up my Plantronics Audio 470 USB Headset and Microphone. So when I upgraded to Windows 7 and a new Lenovo T400, I figured things would be similar. Stupid me thinking Windows would be consistant at all.
I haven't been able to get the microphone on my headset to work at all. Only the audio works.
- No, the microphone isn't muted
- Yes, it's plugged in and I've tried other USB ports
- I set the microphone as the default in the control panel
- My internal laptop microphone does work when set by default but it picks up too much background noise
- I've installed and reinstalled and removed and installed the USB drivers for the headset 4 or 5 times
- Plantronics was no help
- Microsoft was even less of a help
- Lenovo had some information but none of the things they suggested work
