from what I have read and understood on youtube and forums is that you will need to config it first then plug it to your console, not a 100% sure tho as I didnt buy it yet, I am trying to figure out If I will need an Amp with it or if it powerful enough to power a 250 ohm headphone.Creative is famous for leaving many questions unanswered about their products, and asking their support staff doesnt give you any helpful answers.

i know this is over a year old but just in case people want to know. you do NOT need to configure it first. You just plug it in, the directions are easy to follow.

I don't know. If your ps3 has sound but it does not work and you have a usb port to plug this into it might.Al

Ya it actualy does your just going to have to get your self a audio to 3.3mm jack adapter as well as a xbox pc heaset adapter and these are actualy pretty good. For ps3 I recomend just getting a usb pc headset because there are no jacks built in the controlers.

Installation is as easy as connection to USB, with a built in mic and use of PC speaker. To use your mic and headset is a function of your PC, when you plug in your headset the PC will redirect the sound to your headset, I would believe the mic will also be redirected, there is no info in the installation manual that addresses the use of mic and headset.

HiIf you will connect it thru the usb port if the ps3, then no. The ps3 doesn't have audio out from the usb port.

Can you use it as a mic and headset for ingame chat? Yeah. Can you have the entire ps3s output audio routed to these headphones? No. Youll need extra cables and adapters for that

You can just plug it into your ps3/ps4 in USB slot but yo wont hear game audio only chat but if u hook up both u will hear game and chat sound

I don't know about PS3 games and their audio requirements. These are primarily Bluetooth headphones to connect to any Bluetooth device. They will also accept ordinary analogue audio by cable connected to the 3.5mm audio connector. Sorry, can't any more as PS3 is another world to me.

Use a audio optical cable if PS4 has it, or run the sound from PS4 to TV and from TV to soundbar. The latter is how I have my PS3 hooked up

I have a ps3, but I only plug the receiver/transmitter into the console, and the removable microphone into the headset. I don't ever have to plug the headset into the controller.

I have a related question - does a USB headset play SOUND for ALL PS2 games or only games that support USB headsets?

you will have to plugin the microphone to your onboard. This DAC is for audio output only. If you are looking for a sound card for games i would look into an internal sound card: Asus Essence or HT Omega's prodcuts

As I understand it, you have audio going from your cable box to your speakers, then you have audio going from your PS3 to your TV. Is the PS3 audio then going from your TV to those same speakers? If so, are all the connections digital audio cables? If they are, then this could help. Presumably your speaker system (like mine) only has one digital audio input, forcing you to constantly switch cables. This device lets you (with the purchase of a couple extra digital audio cables) permanently wire audio from your various devices to the switch and then have one cable going from the switch to the speakers. To change the source, you turn the knob. That's it. If that's not the case, and you have various inputs (like speaker wire or the red and white plugs), then this wouldn't help you out.

Yes, you can plugin and use directly. But the external sound card may not be use because I don't know it need to install drivers on ps4 or not.

If you don't have Optical Out on your PC, you cant connect the Mixer to the using Analog out, only through USB. Although it did have mini PL cable to connect MIC and Sound to (i don't know how it's called) mini PL with 4 wires, it didn't had the same cable to connect it to the Mixer.So basically another "Astro Console Cable" (even with out the mute Mic button) would be nice, if you don't have Optical Out.
