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

  • 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.

  • sensitivity Microsoft lifechat lx-3000 too high (problem of noise cancellation)

    I bought a Microsoft LifeChat lx-3000 microphone a few months before and never found out how to reduce the sensitivity of my microphone. In a conversation with my friends, they pretend to hear a lot of noise and it's almost quiet in my house. How can I solve the very high sensitivity to a sensitivity much more low where they can ONLY hear me when I talk?

    Thank you for taking the time to look at my problem!

    EDIT: Seems to be more of a noise canceling the problem rather than sensitivity, if that helps at all.

  • Microsoft Lifechat LX-3000, how can I open the control box?

    How to open the control box? Since the cord from my computer on the Cabinet got fired I had sound problems: static, volume gets soft and strong, etc. and I don't know how to open the control box to evaluate or solve the problem.

    Hello

    I think you're talking to the Volume Up/Down/Mute box which is a part of the cable from the headphones to the USB connector. It is a plastic box and is sonic welded closed.

    You may need to replace the helmet, since it seems to be a hardware problem.

  • Sound problems and the modem EA60-155

    3 weeks ago I received my laptop EA60-155 and have experienced ongoing problems with the sound and modem on the laptop. I bought the laptop from currys so am sure that they are an authorized dealer.

    The problem is different, sometimes I turn on the laptop to find out, there is no sond and the modem does not work, sometimes the sound works and makes the modem for about 15 minutes before the problem arises again. I bought the machine to the dealer authorized to Bahrain twice now, twice they said them that the problem was resolved when he doesn't. I called the center of appeal twice, but I still have the problem. Any advice would be greatly appretiated.

    Hello

    If you have this problem permanently, you can try to reinstall the modem and sound card. If the unit is pre-installed with recovery DVDs, it should work fine. As a first step, you can try and remove the sound card and the modem from Device Manager, then restart the device. The two hardware components must be recognized and installed again.

    If there is no success I recommend you backup your data and reinstall the OS using recovery DVDs. On this way the unit will be clean installed and there should not be any problem. Every problem that happens after that can be some hardware malfunction and you must contact the Service partner again.

    Good luck!

  • Microsoft lifechat lx-3000 - whistling distortion from the microphone

    Switch off the speakers and try again headset.

    Sound cards usually feature a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which converts recorded or generated digital data into an analog format. The output signal is connected to a headphone amplifier, or external device using standard interconnects, such as a TRS connector or an RCA connector.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_card

    Most of the cards her consumer have a separate audio input (often used to amplify the audio output of the CD-ROM) which is a good way to test the audio amplifier. In general, if a sound card has both speaker and output line, the speaker output is likely to be noisier than the output line (any hiss and hum will be more noticeable in headphones) . Unfortunately, the line output will probably be of insufficient current drive for all except the most effective helmet (look for models with sensitivity of 100dB sides or more). If necessary, compare the soundcard Headphone amplifiers with good audio specifications. To enhance the sound quality or for more volume, consider adding a line to the outputs headphone amplifier. Some computers radiate RF frequencies that may cause a headphone amplifier humming, then try to select one with a good RF shielding.

    Thanks again for the effort, the problem is the sound I get is not released. This problem has been fixed (it was just my mic, echoing my helmet by some Skype problem caused) this is the microphone generating noise that comes out of nowhere, it looks like a rain/Static/hiss noise/white noise and can be heard by everyone I call on Skype etc and can also be heard by me when my system starts and I can hear my mic , I have turned off my speakers, removed my sigmatel audio drivers and it did not help, I tried to start with all other windows drivers stops and same problem persisted. I'm starting to think that it's really a hardware problem as opossed to a software problem. I'll take the headphones back tomorrow and hope that they can tell me more on this subject.

    Thanks for all your time and effort, I apoligize nothing helped me

  • Bass-Boost enhancement for Microsoft Lifechat LX-3000 in Windows 7.

    So I got a pair of these headphones when I had my old vista computer and I loved them. At the time, Windows Vista had in the audio improvements for this headset: Correction of the piece, the equalization, Loudness, thing that I don't remember and Bass Boost. With the emphasis of the serious all the way up to these things had incredible bass. Since then, I built a new PC and put Windows 7 on it. To my dismay the improvements in Audio for the LX-3000, instead of Bass Boost is "Protection low-frequency". I checked my other USB headset and each of them had an option of Bass Boost, up to 24 dB @ 50 Hz! Only the LX-3000 do not have the development of Bass Boost. My question is, is it possible to unlock the Bass Boost enhancement for these headphones in Windows 7? I have the latest drivers for the headphones.

  • Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 - driver not found

    I have the latest version of the driver (Version 1.4) downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. The driver installs fine, but the headset always has a yellow icon in the Device Manager. Just to confirm that the helmet actually works, I tested it in a virtual machine running Windows 7 Ultimate and it picked up right away without me having to install the driver manually. I don't know why it does not work on my desktop.

    Just a little history, I have not used this headset for a few months (maybe years). I used a regular 3.5 mm jack headset until it just broke today. This headset is a USB headset. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    I thought about it. It turns out that there are a few files that are necessary to enable the USB composite devices working properly (USB with audio and/or video devices). These files should be found in C:\Windows\inf. The list of files are:

    - usb.inf
    - usb.pnf
    -usbport.inf
    -usbport.pnf
    -usbprint.inf
    -usbprint.pnf
    -usbstor.inf
    -usbstor.pnf
    -usbvideo.inf
    -usbvideo.pnf

    Missed me the first two which are in bold. I don't know how or why I was their lack, but I'm just happy that it's a simple solution. To retrieve these files, I got everything just them to a fresh install of Windows 7 on a virtual machine. You can probably catch them from another computer, you have in your House too.
