Is there a built in microphone for gaming? If yes, how do I activate it?

There is a built in microphone, whether the one I use for skype and other things is the same as that one would use for gaming, I don't know. But, you can just go to start and look for microphone and find it there.

No, they do not. the sound does, but it will use the built-in microphone no matter what, so if you don't want it for the mic, you're fine, but if you want the mic, I can't help you

There appears to be a MIC, but I don't know more than it shows on the Instructions, and Speaker. I think it must be built-in? Not a very techie person, but thought I'd try and help confuse you! :) I don't know how the microphone would work. I found lots of info on the web, which might be more helpful.

I can't get mine to work. I don't think this model has a microphone. I called ASUS and they didn't know????

If you do't wan't the microphone yes you can simply not have it hooked up. However the microphone is really only working in tandem with your headset mic or desktop mic to cancel out background noise.Hope that helps

The cable that includes a built in microphone is a 1/8 cable (like a regular headphone) and it works great with an Iphone/cell phone but i'm not sure if your game console takes that type of plug. But i found this attachment on their website where it will allow a separate plug for the mic and headphone to plug into a laptop etc. So that might be what you need. If anything, the gameplay sound would be pretty good because you can hear even the finite details that you wouldnt hear with other headphones. http://v-moda.com/voip-pc-mic-adapter/

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

Yes, you can connect an external microphone to the QFX. It comes with a headset microphone, I feel you knew that one. I have mine for over two years now and it is holding up well.

You have to buy speakers. Microphones receive sound and then transmit that sound through speakers.

I just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

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 :)

You have to buy a GTD mic system, this is just an add-on mic. I just put mine way 15 minutes ago from using it and it work so great!!!

you need headpohones or earbuds to use this as a gaming mic. otherwise the speakers will provide too much feedback and it will sound bad.

I called Swann and was told that I would have to add a microphone. I did enable the audio feature but did not hear anything. Will have to do some more research.
