Headsets using an xbox on windows 7

is it possible to use a head set an Xbox (which comes from the box) for a PC

first of all, I went through a lot of videos and discovered that my PC doesn't have a USB headset drivers.

is there another way to use the headset?

or can someone show me how to get the driver.

Hi IyadLaphir,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to solve the problem. However, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

  1. You are able to use any other USB device? They work or facing the same issue?
  2. Have you tried different ports? Has been the result even?
  3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

According to the description of the problem, you cannot use a headset Xbox USB on your Windows 7 computer. The question could be if this port deteriorate or drivers need to be updated.

Try it out below mentioned methods and see if it works for you.

Method 1:

Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.

If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.

Method 2

As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.

You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then do the following

1. click on Start, then Panel.

2. click on system and Maintenance, click System, and then click on Device Manager.

Note: If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System, then click on Device Manager.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

3. in Device Manager, double-click to expand the 'Bus USB controllers', right-click on the host controller, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.

4. Repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

If you are still having the same problem then you can check the device USB drivers updated using windows update. See below the help link.

  • How to disable auto signin for games of xbox on windows 8

    No Xbox console. Only the computer.

    It comes to Xbox on Windows 8 on my computer.

    Whenever I have start the Collection of Solitaire of Microsoft, Xbox games

    Auto sign in my husband. I want each of us to you connect to will.

    So, how can we have a manual log our favorite games and

    Disable the AUTOMATIC CONNECTION? It makes no sense to finish the

    Daily challenge under his login.

    Hey Stan,

     
    Thanks for the update. As I understand it the issue is frustrating in regards to the signing in and out the Xbox account.
     
    I suggest you to create different user accounts, given that the issue could be caused due to:
     
    1 Microsoft Account used as the credentials of the user who allows to connect to the associated Xbox (a few games on the Microsoft Store) that is the Collection of Solitaire using the same credentials on behalf of Xbox Live.
     
    2. otherwise, the user has a local account on the computer, but when the topic download the game downloaded using the Microsoft Account.
     

    I suggest to create a new user account with the credentials of the user, and then every user will be able to play games with the credentials of his.

    Here is a link to create a new user account on Windows 8.1.

     
    I hope this helps.

  • can I use my profile of windows 7 on windows 8 on the same computer

    I've been using tb for years, now I'm on windows 7, but when I'm editing I use windows 8 same computer but on a different partition. I don't want to copy files, as when I go back to windows 7 they wont last updated on any new email I received with windows 8. Can I simply use form profile tb windows 7 on windows 8?
    Can't do anything in TB until you add an email address, I have, but when I told him to get the windows 7 partition profile I got a large list appear but not my emails or accounts.

    am I want to do simply not possible, I see several articles re multiple profiles, but not on multiple windows operating systems

    As long as the profile is when Windows 7 and Windows 8 can see (and write in it!), then it should work.

    However, the default location is inside the users and this may be limited. Users has been implemented to be accessible from both systems?

    Otherwise, you have created a shared folder accessible to both Windows 7 and Windows 8 to host profile?

    The trick for the implementation is, once you put the profile where the two installations of Windows can see, is to edit the files respective profile.ini two systems to refer to the new location. You will certainly need also the IsRelative value 0 (i.e. false) and use of backslashes instead of slashes in path names.

    A caveat is that both facilities must use the same version of Thunderbird, or they can bicker about version of add-on levels.

  • How can I fix the redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

    I've redirected and/or pop ups using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. He started immediately with the download of the said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with this download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-start with Avast scan, as well as a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I always get the redirects or pop ups.

    A smart redirection (context sensitive) it's trying to get the money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, maybe] with the pop-up blocker probably integrated into Firefox, but Firefox Help leads me to an # 800 who offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with certified technicians as you will see in the chat below. He appeared as a function of Firefox, not a redirect.

    Just after the chat with the 800 suit, I opened FireFox and he went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a hash string more, which is perhaps how popups spreads?
    I'm from mozilla via a url and soon encouraged me to download the new version, saying a current obsolete. But he was not going to download it from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/

    He isn't very smart, it is also resistant to many software removal tools.

    What could suggest you? I tried not many of these tools yet.

    MySearchDial must have an entry in the Control Panel, but may also have fangs in your browsers.

    Control and cleanup that will take a few precautions. I suggest starting here:

    Open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. Click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    Then, in Firefox, open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Finally, you can "absorb" remain problems with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

    Are you able to get rid of him?

    Using Firefox 4 and Windows 7. Whenever I have to start Firefox from a shortcut to a Web site, what happens with the following error "there was a problem sending the command to the program". The requested site is loaded after that. without any problem.

    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error will not occur.

    For me, the problem was the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.
