  • Publisher cannot connect XBOX 360 controller wireless receiver PC on Windows 7.

    I can't connect a XBOX 360 controller to my PC with the receiver wireless on Windows 7 (64-bit). I have correctly installed the driver, and the wireless receiver is recognized by the PC. The problem occurs when I try to connect the controller to the receiver, as do not connect or recognize each other. I press the Connect button on the receiver, then the light starts flashing. I then press and hold the connection button on my controller, which makes the quadrants "search for", but they quickly cease, and instead assign a specific quadrant, all quadrants begin to Flash instead, as before. Nothing seems to work, I have tried to unplug all other USB devices and wireless, connecting the receiver to different USB ports and change the batteries. What should I do now?

  • The headset audio USB deforms after initially connect xbox 360 controller for windows

    Hello world.

    It seems that many people (including me, now) start meeting audio distortion after they plug a Xbox 360 controller for windows on their computer for the first time. I have a headset Audio USB of Dynex Mono, and whenever I try to use the microphone, the sound comes out distorted. Also, when I try to use the earphone to listen to whatever it is that the audio is also flawed.

    Did anyone here know what I can do, so I can get the controller and the helmet the two working together in a computer? The headset works fine in another computer.

    The Xbox controller draw right on the edge for a USB port, putting pressure on all of the USB bus, especially if there are other USB devices. If you get an external USB powered hub to add to your system and plug the controller, you will solve your problem.

    I had the same problem with my Creative Labs USB sound card and the Xbox controller at the same time. I picked up a Zonet similar to this (different brand):

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182168

    I plug my controller, keyboard, and mouse dongle in the hub and plug my sound card directly into one of the ports on the back of the PC. Problem solved! I got no sound since problem.

  • I can't use the Xbox 360 controller for condemned Criminal Origins

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • I can't using a wired Xbox 360 controller as a joystick for the origins of felons game.
    • I looked online for a solution and close using joy to key. I could map each button and it was totally functional, but I was still unable to turn or to consider, if I could walk because I had mapped the left analog stick for market controls. I tried to change the settings for the joystick in the game, but they are not what I noticed at all.
    • the game recognize at least some controller, when the mapping in the keyboard settings, it recognizes the buttons, but not the triggers or the analog sticks.
    • I tried to update my drivers, I tried different usbs and always made sure that it was connected, all of the simple things.
    • I really want to play this game, and I'll be really disappointed if I have to use the keyboard and the mouse to do it, I'm not comfortable at all to aid in a fps game.

    Thanks for your help!

    but in fact I ended up understanding.

    apparently my controller was defaulting to an old driver or the wrong driver or something, so the game incorrectly recognizes it. at least partially wrong.

    the old, updated, deleted totally worked! for the most part, had yet to use joy to key to map triggers, and the d - pad is recognized as a button, instead of four separate.

  • Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows all of a sudden not connect into any USB port

    Original title: Wireless Xbox 360 Controller for Windows issue.

    Hi, I bought this back in 2008 and it has been flawless since today... I tried to use it and the controller is unable to connect to the receiver.

    There is no light on the receiver, even when I plug it into a different USB port there is still nothing... I even tried another computer. I assume the receiver is nakered?. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    If the receiver is so broken, can I buy this receiver on its own and that it will be compatible with my wireless controller Xbox 360 instead of having to buy another expensive controller...

    Thank you very much.

  • Why does not connect my Xbox 360 controller wireless PC adapter?

    I have problems connecting my Xbox 360 controller to my PC with a wireless adapter.

    Before answer you with the usual stock answers, please listen to my story:
    1. I had originally a gamepad Xbox 360 official provided with official Microsoft wireless adapter to PC.  It works beautifully.
    2. I wanted to connect three controllers in addition to my PC so I ordered several PC off Amazon wireless adapters.
    3. it has proved to be the knockoff versions.  http://www.Amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-gaming-receiver-Windows/DP/B000HZFCT2  
    4. I followed the instructions and others have posted to get my knockoff adapters to recognize controllers.
    5. However, there was a problem.  After having successfully obtained knockoff adapters to work, the original adapter did not work.
    6. I could get the original works again (can't remember how), but then wouldn't the imitations.  Looks like I might have one or the other.
    7. I am frustrated trying to get both to work while I have through imitations away and ordered three officials of Microsoft wireless adapter PC
    8. now, none of them will connect.  Not the official original adapter or new official adapters.
    9. I tried to reinstall the software.  Remove all software associated with the imitations.  All I could think about.
    10. I suspect that they do not work due to some residual software by imitations, but I can not understand how to fix it

    Hello Ghostdogaln.

    How do hang you the controller?  You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.

    If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

  • How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

    How can I turn off the xbox 360 controller wireless for pc

    Hello!

    I made a small application for this! It is called XboxExt (Manager of the Xbox 360 controller). There is no way to disable the controller in a failure to properly on PC. With the Games Games for Windows Live you can press the GUIDE button on your controller, and you can turn it off.
    So my app is doing the same thing, but not only with Games for Windows Live games. So you can use it anywhere, anytime.

  • Someone there suggested sites I can download PC games that are compatible with an Xbox 360 controller.

    I want to try the game on my PC and or laptop before buy you not on my Xbox 360. I'm having a very hard time finding anything. I know that I can try the game on my Xbox for free, but I don't know if the game works with the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless controller, on both the Xbox and my PC.

    It has nothing to with such sites to download, and for several years (since the beginning of "Games for Windows") the XBOX controller has (unfortunately for some use that do not use the XBOX controller) the configuration of the default controller for the most part, or at least, many games.

    A quick search shows-
    Why the XBOX controller is not compatible with some games (pre monopoly$ oft games for windows for the most part).
    http://www.giantbomb.com/Xbox-360-controller-support-for-PC/92-2465/

    A bit of XBOX to the propaganda of the PC-

    What really boils down to is change the key assignments to suit you via options settings for games 'control' or make a profile using the software supplied with the controller.
    Controllers that have their own Win7 compatible profiling software will work with any game. It's just a matter of a few minutes to assign buttons for the commands.
    Logitech controllers will work with any PC game like him having Xinput and support a direct entry (monopoly$ oft's foray into PC games made a little less friendly user with some games).

    I know you probably are used to the XBOX controller and can save money.
    no controller for FPS and action games, beats a mouse and a keyboard for accuracy.
    Keyboards are also best for RPG and other games with many orders.
    Personally, I never liked using a keyboard, so I use the command style - Logitech G13 is the
    better yet. The Belkin Nostromo n52 and n52te, are good for. It is more comfortable to have the keys online, and the control stick on the G13 works well also.

    If you are looking for simple plug-and-play gaming console is the best option of game. PC offers more versatility for those who don't mind tweaking.

    Hi Zxcvbnma,

    ·         Is the specific issue with only Need for Speed or does happen with other games as well?

    If the problem is specific only with Need for Speed, you can try to uninstall the game and reinstall the game and check if it works fine without any problems.

    I also suggest that you uninstall Xbox 360 controller drivers and reinstall the drivers that could help you solve the problem.

    Check the settings of the game. You can also connect the controller to the other computer and use it and check if the problem still persists.
