If you have a steady hand and you are actually trying to pick up the audio on a conversation, then try zooming in closer to where the voices are coming from, that way the mic zooms in as well, this has been very usefull to me in outdoors shooting.

Hi Benny, There is a firmware update that fixes some issues people have been experiencing with the microphone. Keep in mind that you should also check your audio settings in Vent as well as the audio configurations on your computer. As your friends to check the audio settings they have set for you in Vent as well as there is not as much need for so much gain. We find that on other headsets, players need to crank up the gain--when using the Sound Blaster World of Warcraft headset this is not necessary. Please contact us at socialmedia@creativelabs.com if you have any questions concerning the updated firmware or the status of your headset. Thanks, Tawnee Kendall Social Media Mgr Creative Labs

1. Make sure to switch on the amplifier for volume boost. The switch is located below the right ear cup.2. If you are on PC, check the mic volume control in the computer.3. As the mic is located on the ear cup, you might need to voice up a little.4. Check if the cable is properly connected.5. Try on different devices.If none of the above is working, I guess most probably you get a defect item.You will need to send it back to the seller then.

It could be the external speakers you have; also make sure the speaker jack is ALL THE WAY IN the external port. (Otherwise youll only get a faint sound.)

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....

I can only think of two things. is your mixer volume too high and would you need to set your speakers a different direction or further away from your Mic's.

what I do is use a headphones with volume control and its a way I take, or get amplified speakers for extra volume, also try an external recording unit that has a separate volume control, sorry I couldn't be more helpful ,miguel

These are garbage, i had the same problem with both. You can try adjusting your mic settings in the control panel but that didn't help me.

If you're mic is using an unbalanced 1/4" cable. However most are XLR. I would suggest something from TC Helicon for vocals.

I would think so. Try putting speakers at different distances from the microphone. Seemed to give better reproduction when they were about 12-15 feet apart.And different tones at different distances.

Hey, you might have the volume tuned up too high on your headset which could cause that problem. If you're doing other things while using the headset it can distort the sound because it's sensitive much like a Bluetooth. You could be too far away from the base or you might have the mic too far away from your mouth. The only other thing I can think of is, it's not your headset at all it's them because you can hear them find!

Actually, I figured it out. Make sure you're not on mute, record something with sound. When you play it back, you need to turn up the volume by pressing the up arrow (or top of the) on the circular button to the right of the screen. You will then see the volume go up and start to hear the sound from the playback. Trust me though...the sound quality isn't all that. It sounds better when you play it back on a computer, but not by much. I had to remind myself not to get discouraged because after all...it's not a video camera by design. Hope this helps!

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

Change sound settings to turn off equalizer and adjust the bass (up) and the treble(down)...helps a little

Try reducing the output volume. I have to keep mine fairly low. Takes some tweaking
