LifeChat LX-3000 sound quality is terrible on Windows 7

I use this headset LifeChat LX 3000 for a few years now, and they were flawless until I upgraded to Windows 7. I did all the obvious things as updated my drivers and sound cards, and the headset is my default device for recording and playback. Yet for some reason any there is a noise of cracking/static terrible and constant in the background when the helmet is not cut. I thought that this could be due to the headset within a few years, I went to Best Buy and purchased a whole new game. Yet, with the new headphones, the sound quality is just as bad. I have really no idea what could cause cracking and the static, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Note: I have uninstalled/reinstalled the helmet a few times, which did not help.

  • LifeChat LX-3000 headset does not work with Windows 7 RC1

    Previously, I used my LifeChat LX-3000 headset with my machine Windows 7 Beta and it worked fine.  I've recently updated to Windows 7 RC1 and now I can't not all sounds through them either.  The laptop speakers work very well and when I press the button "mute", the led turns on, but when I look at the volume of the headphone mixer is not present among the devices that I can change.  Anyone else running into this issue?  All the solutions you can think?

    Looks like I found the answer in one click right on the speaker in the sys tray icon and selected "reading devices".  From there, I saw «Headphone Earphone» option  I clicked on it and then on the "Set default" button.  Now, it seems that it works very well.  It's just different how manipulated beta Headset USB.

  • Satellite P105-S6024 and terrible sound quality

    The sound quality on this laptop was very bad for some time.

    I tried all of the updates and drivers more recent download from Toshiba Web site without success, including latest conexant driver, which seems to be 2007. . . . I use XP/SP3. For a system that is supposed to have good sound quality, with harmon kardon speakers, it's frustrating because it is inaudible. The cracks of sounds, pop, is intermittent, is static and just is generally quite poor.

    There is not a problem with the volume, just the terrible sound quality any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I see you are using the Windows XP which was not preinstalled by Toshiba.
    I think that this laptop came with the Windows Vista operating system.

    Have you noticed the same sound quality by using the Windows Vista operating system?
    I think you should check this.

    If the noise would do better to use the Vista then it might be a problem of sound driver.
    I found another audio driver Conexant for Win XP. I use this one:

  • Equium A110-233 bad sound quality

    Hi all, please can someone help,

    I recently bought a satellite A110-233 and the sound quality is terrible (I am aware that there is a conrtol of volume on the front of the laptop until someone asks ;-))

    I played around with all the settings including the Tru-Surround options and via the internal speaker volume level is very low, even though unfortunately this isn't my main concern. The main reason I bought the laptop was to use as the source for the reading of the media through my Hi-Fi and TV channel. When I connect to my stereo using a socket type of headphone 3.5 mm headphone output on decision-making for the twin RCA inputs on my system audio is absolutely appalling. The volume is very low and there is no depth to the sound and absolutely NOT that it's low.

    I tried to play the same files on the other half cell and the output is absolutely fine.

    I tried to download a new copy of the audio driver and install that. I also tried a full format of the laptop and reinstall windows from zero (not from the appropriate disk recovery, but since the windows CD), still no joy.

    Please please can someone help me because I can't use my system for what I bought it for!

    Thank you all

    Hello

    Hmmm, I'm not an owner Equium A110 and so I can't give you a professional opinion on this problem.
    For me it is not easy to tell if it is a hardware/software problem, or if it is simply a sound quality.

    In any case... I noticed several discussions here in the forum about bass on laptops Satellite A100 and a person has provided a solution.

    According to several messages try to delete or to rename the files RTHDAEQ0. DAT and RTHDAEQ1. DAT.
    You should find these files in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ folder

    But it is a solution of A100 series and I don't know if it helps on an A110.
    However, test it and please report results... It is interesting to me

  • Headphone Sound quality soundproof with no. beat all of a sudden

    Hi, a few days ago, I started my laptop (Toshiba C855) to listen to music through my headphones (which I do every day), and the sound quality was terrible, really choked with no background of graves and so bad, I couldn't distinguish the songs that were played (by any platform such as Spotify Youtube, Windows MP etc.). I t have the headphones off to a repair shop, but they couldn't find the problem is obviously an internal problem. I have tried many headphones that all work on other devices, I've updated, uninstalled and reinstalled Realtek, I've updated all the drivers, everything set to default settings... I've tried everything. I should also mention that the actual Laptop speakers are fine, and when I have my headphones in is also a rattling lingering in the background.

    I also noticed that when I tried to solve the problem on Realtek in Event Viewer, it is said that there were 2 events present that day, I started having these problems, which has said the following:

    Driver management concluded the process to install the driver hdxsrsa.inf_amd64_ab5f4adfb36998fd\hdxsrsa.inf for the Instance ID of device HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_10EC & DEV_0269 & SUBSYS_1179FB31 & REV_1002\4 & 846037E & 0 & 0001 with the following status: 0x0.

    I do not know if these are what are the cause of the problem, or if it's something else, but I'd be grateful if someone could help me because I have never had a problem like this in the 3 years I've had this laptop, cheers

    Since it seems that there is a new driver installed, I would roll back to the previous driver had no problem.  Click on start and run control RSTRUI.exe and then chose the day, the driver has been installed and go back to the hour or the day prior to that.

  • Microsoft LifeChat LX 3000 stops the sound from the speakers when connected

    Hello

    I bought a USB Microsoft LifeChat LX 3000 headset, and when it is plugged into my USB port, no sound is heard from the speakers.

    When I disconect the speakers rund LX 3000 perfectly.

    Someone knows how to fix this problem, please

    I wanted to check if Microsoft LifeChat LX 3000 has all the entries in this section and if it has settings to enable or disable speakers when it is installed.  It is obviously the installer to work this way by default--I know not how to change the value by default if there is no entry in the audio section.

    Try to download updated drivers for your sound card - she is in the speakers and contolling the LifeChat for an upgrade can provide options that are not currently available and you should be able to control if both can work at the same time.  While you're there, download and reinstall the updated drivers LifeChat as well.

    Here is a link to the Microsoft Support - I don't know if it will be free or not (I can't go past the area enter the product id field). https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=12368&st=1&wfxredirect=1.  If free (I'm not sure I want to pay for support) and then explain the problem and they may be able to tell an easy solution that we have lost.

    Here is a link to the product documentation that can explain what is happening and why.  Maybe it's just the way they are designed to work. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/documentation/default.aspx?type=LifeChat&sku=JUG-00001.

  • Sound problems and micro Microsoft Lifechat LX-3000

    Hello

    About a year ago and a half years, I bought the Lifechat LX-3000 headset. They worked great for a long time, but now it seems they are mess up :(
    Two weeks, I was on my desktop Windows 7 Professional x 64 and I was getting complaints my microphone on Skype is gone completely silent and occasionally during these moments of silence, would that make a really loud cracking sound. Then I tested it in the tape and confirmed that there was a problem. He plugged out and back in and it was great to work for about 5 minutes, then he started again. I then plugged into an USB extension cable 2 meter to which he was previously connected and it worked great again for like 3 days.
    3 days later, he did it again despite it was connected to the back of the PC. I then plugged on the front of the PC, and it worked great for like 4 days.
    Today, I'm sitting here on my Windows laptop, 8 x 64 and the sound went away completely. I assumed initially that I had eliminated the USB so I plugged it on then back in and it worked very well. He then did again as three minutes later. Now, its been almost 20 minutes and it works well again.
    Anyone has any ideas at all? They are in good condition because they are a year and a half, they never took to big drops, the best that I would do is lay on my bed.
    * EDIT - however, no matter how the music is now, always adjust. Initially I thought it was a problem of power, but now they work very well: o

  • Bad sound quality

    I've been using Apple music on Android since last year and I also tested all the main services continuously looking for the one that fits for me. Here are my comments.

    Positive:

    1. the interface is pretty good
    2. playback of gapless albums works very well for me, a lot of competitors have problems with it, and it was important for me
    3 integration of own files works fine on my Xperia Z5, I had problems with this on Z1 Compact

    Negative:

    Sound quality. It is bad or even terrible, depending on the type of music. I don't think it's a matter of encoding. I think that Apple music flows in 256 kbps AAC (is this correct?), competitor g. MP3 320 kbps and 320 kbps OGG competitor s., I think. Thus, the difference in practice should be negligible, I think. But there is a huge difference in the listening experience.

    I use a Sony Z5 and headphones MDR-1ABT, which is quite a decent facility, and I love the sound of the G or S. The look is fantastic, bass is large and acute lovely, dynamic range is excellent. If I activate it Department HX from Sony on the phone that there is even better, it makes you go "wow". Everything just fantastic.

    Listening to the music of Apple experience is just the opposite. It looks like little in 1990s FM radio, the sound is extremely stable compared to G or S., the bass is very low, not sharp, flat. The application does not meet the parameters of its Android, there is therefore no equalizer and no HX Department. I can't listen to music of Apple for more than 15-20 minutes, when we know the sound quality of G or S, it's just not nice.

    Competitor T has the same question or 'feature' - the sound of Android settings are not respected by the app.

    So my question is, are there plans to fix it in the next release or 1.0, or should I rather build my playlists elsewhere? It will respect the sound of Android settings, like Equalizer / Clear Audio / Department HX? I like Apple interface and feel better and prefer to continue my subscription to Apple's music, but I can't stand the sound flat...

  • Satellite L40: low sound quality

    Hello

    I have the problem with the sound quality in L40.
    Some at the level of the volume of some movies divix is good but in a bit of sound is very low. Likely it has connected with setting the sound card and when I play the movie with surround codec, the sound is very low, but when I play movie in stereo codec, sound is loud and clear.

    Where can I change the audio settings and make sure that movies with sound wil surround play in stereo?

    PS. Sorry for my writing, I know is terrible ;-)

    Hi Darckar

    Satellite L40 unknown for me, but all the settings of the sound that you can find in Control Panel under sounds and Audio devices. Check all parameters, in particular under the Audio tab > audio > Advanced Audio properties.

    I don't know if this will help, but you can check in any case.

  • Poor sound quality - Dell Inspiron 15 77537

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 i7-4510U, 16.6 "Touch. It had Windows 8.1 in it.

    It works great so far, aside from a BIG problem - the quality of audio playback is terrible.

    When I try to listen to music, I mean hardly any lower-end (or bass). I tried different equipment different buffering - my Sony stereo, as well as, the Beats Pro - the two dissapointing headphones gave results. For example, the same file played on my iPod sounds a LOT better that it does on my new Dell Inspiron. It is similarly for the same YouTube video playback on another computer using the same headset. It seems that all the other equipment (a laptop, iPod, iPhone) all seem the same and much better my Inspiron.

    The audio drivers are up to date (they were automatically selected depending on my model on dell.com). I also tried to change the equalizers on Realtek sound card settings. I noticed the difference, but all the options always leads to a much lower sound quality older compared to my laptop (which I'm sure that has default settings, that I never had no problem with the audio quality).

    Anyone have an idea how I can solve the problem? I heard that Windows 8.1 on some laptops may have some problems with its low-end, would this be the case? My most old laptop also uses Windows 8.1, just as the PC fixed, so I doubt it personally. Is it possible that this could be a manufacturing fault in the sound card?

    Any ideas how I can fix the sound quality are very popular.

    Kind regards
    Marius

    P.S. This is my first post here, so please be nice haha. Thank you!

    Hello. Try changing to the native Windows audio driver:

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    Is there still no bass then it could be a hardware problem, and for this you need to contact technical support. Make sure that the EQ in your music player (such as Windows Media Player) is set to normal. Also when comparing to other devices playback, all their eq and other improvements should be on flat, trying to compare apples with apples as much as possible.
