I purchased this for voice recognition software - during which i need to hear my own voice. So far, I can't hear the mic in the headset. Should I be able to?

I could hear my voice through the headset, when I downloaded mumble speak, to be able to talk online while gameing, so I assume u should be able too if you are telling the computer you are on a headset with mike :) when I had to set mumble up, it had me do a voice thingy, and I could hear myself, so.. that's all I know :)

Listening to your own voice is not a function of the headset itself, but of the sound driver. For Windows 8 you can achieve this by going to the Recording Devices (right click on the speaker icon in the notification tray and select recording devices), then click on the properties of the microphone you are using and check "Listen to this device" box under the Listen tab.If you still cannot hear anything, try increasing the sound level (Properties page, Levels tab)

It depends on what your software is designed to do. I use speech recognition also and I don't hear myself speak through my headset while I'm talking.

Nope. These are gaming head phones, so voice feed back in the headset is a bad thing.

If your headset has a plug for the mic and another plug for audio you will plug them both into this device and it should work fine. This does not us your built in sound card. It is a second sound card when you plug it into the USB port on your computer.

I'm not sure--mine do not have a mic so that's probably the case! Sorry I can't be of more help :)

Though the computer can see the headset as the mic, when I checked how loud the computer was receiving the voice input, it was only seeing it as a whisper, even though I was speaking very loudly.In short, you can set it up, but it will be useless.Sources: Quick test using a Win7 comp and Windows Recording Devices

I honestly am not sure how that would work, especially if you are using the dragon headset... If the Dragon software is built-in into your computer's microphone, then maybe with some tinkering it may work; but I'm not sure it would because Dragon as I have seen uses a headset by itself.... It may be really beneficial to get in contact with Dragon, and see if they can work something out for you... If you just want to use the Creative Sound headset by itself outside of Dragon, it should work like a charm! It basically downloads by itself when you use the THX USB. I had to go to the main site to find the control panel, but once I did I haven't had any hiccups (truly a small hiccup, nothing major) since and that's been nearly 6 months. It's a really good headset in my opinion. I hope this helps some.

I don't know? I don't connect it to anything that has a microphone. Does your microphone work on your device with a headset plugged in? It would be the same principal.

Yes you can well at least for me i use the macbook pro . I dont know what your connecting the mic to but if you have the same laptop as me then it should work insintly just remember to go to you system preffrcne and click sound and their it should show up

It's a really nice mic for a headset. There's a very slight hissing that I'm told only I notice (Because I'm listening for it), but otherwise it's super clear; Doesn't pick up sounds like my AC at all.

I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer. I have now tried a couple of ways and as the other poster had said, it did not work. I plugged it into the mic jack on my laptop. I then tried recording with 1) Sound recorder (under Microsoft Accesories) and with 2) Audicity. For Auditicy, I verified it could record fine w/o the mic and made sure I had the source input for auditcity be a microphone. so it appears the other poster is correct - but if you know some trick, please post so the rest of us can use it! (or if you realize you were mistaken, it would help us to know that too.) Thanks much. I would be grateful if you could post how you did this a mic on your computer.

You should be able to do all that, at least that's what they claim. I wouldn't recommend this product . I got 2 headphones and both the mic didn't work.

Plug in some headphones into the audio jack on the side of the mic. If you can hear yourself (adjust the volume knob), the mic is working and you need to check settings as others describe. If you can't hear yourself, it's a dud. I use a lot of these mics with clients and have had one get damaged. Rode repaired it right away.

no, you would need to set up a separate voice recording solution through your PC, as the component cable on the Turtle Beach headsets is only Audio in not out

The wide range of pickup shouldn't interfere with VR software since anything speaking nearby is quite clear and the mic does a good job of separating background noise from foreground speech. Should work with XP, although I haven't tried it. Honestly I don't see any reason why it wouldn't since it just uses the Microsoft drivers, you don't have to install any software, just plug and play. The mic will pick up as long as the software is asking for it, so if your VR software is always running, then no it won't turn off. As long as it's plugged in and some kind of software that would use it is running, it's listening for you. However if no software is active nothing will happen. Standard for a USB microphone.

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

Well the headset has a dedicated mute button on the controller, so I would assume you could just mute the mic and use a different one.

That feature works fine, the voice came a little bit lower than the original equipment but clear. Bluetooth works as well as the original equipment. No need to plug the mic, it came the unit built in, as long as the original came with that feature. I hope this help, good luck.

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.
