Okay, I just got the thing and it doesn't work. I plug it into my Sony HDR-SR11 microphone spot and it completely turns off the sound. What do I do

Okay, first thing you must and I cant stress this enough but you must know how your camera mic jack is wired. All of my cameras that I use are canon and pentax. They are all stereo mic inputs. That means it uses 3 connectors. If you dont know what I am talking about... Take a look at a plug on a pair of headphones vs the plug that is on the mic. Chances are your camera is wire like this or real similar. I do not use the cable that comes with the mic. I use one made by Hosa that has XLR on the mic end and it has a 3 connectore(stereo)plug on the camera end. The mic is not stereo, it just simply sends the same mic signal to the tip and the ring on the stereo plug. The cable in known as a dual mono cable. If you do not use this cable the adapter that you get with the mic will ground the mic line and quite possibly do what you are experiencing. I use this mic in many situations and it works great. I get great results everytime but again it is very important that you use the right connector cable.

I would verify a fresh battery is installed in the mic correctly. And that the plug is completely inserted.

Pretty simple! Whatever it is you're using, you have to go into the sound settings and set it as the default sound output device. So for PC, go to the Control Panel, Sound, and pick it under the playback tab. Same goes for it not working with any other application like Skype. But changing it in the control panel should fix for most, if not all!Should be listed as "USB audio device" .

Real quick go in the headphones menu if you see tv + hp turned on turn it off. The surround sound will not work if it's turned on

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

No more high pitched squeal. And the update also fixes color levels and night shot brightness. YAY!

We have had the same issue with this microphone. If you still have the packaging, send it back!

Have you tried using your headset, after you unplugged it? Because it doesn't take days to charge it? If its not working then your head phones are dead. Because my headset did the same thing.

When I bought it, I plugged it into my afterglow headphones and the sound worked great but the microphone did not work.

Mine works well, make sure everything is connected correctly, and that you have the microphone away from as much interference as possible.

I've had the same problem since I plugged it in. A small buzzing sound that gets louder. If I tap the earpiece where the mic arm is attached it goes away briefly. I sent that pair back, but the new set does the exact same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

I can't get audio either. I'm using Windows live call. I'm wondering if I need to change to Skype or if that even has anything to do with it. when I go through the settings on the cam, the sound test is fine, but when I do a video call with my daughter, we have no sound

I would say that if it does not work it could be a problem with the mic or the audio system tha is connected to. The mic has a some options or buttons that you might need to play with but those are just to choose what type of mic will be used. Sorry i DON'T have more, it should work just fine, the power is given by the audio system amp. Do you have an amp?

My guess would be a defective adapter plug, the mini to 1/4" converter. If it's not that, then it would likely be a defective unit or a damaged cable. Also make sure you are plugging it into the input, not the headset ;)

What is the issue? Did you charge it and pair it with your phone? Also did you hold down the button on the ear piece to turn it on? I have received the best feedback on this headset that it gives the best sound back. I really like it!

Im also having the same problem. When I remove the headset, my speakers audio dont work anymore.
