Mic Recording Setup

1) Please make sure that the Mic is plugged into the correct jack on your
   Sound Card. (usually PINK in color).

2) If there are more than one Sound Devices in the system: 
   Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Audio tab
   Under *Recording* make sure that you show as the *preferred device* the
   device you want to use.

3) - Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume Control
   - From the Options tab Properties > Select Recording
   - Under "show the following volume controls" make sure that Microphone
     is checked
   - Click OK
   - Make sure that Microphone is Selected
   This can also be set from the Turtle Beach Control Panel.

4) - From the Options tab Properties > Select Playback
   - Under "show the following volume controls" make sure that Microphone
     is checked
   - Click OK
   - Make sure that Microphone "Mute" is NOT checked

(NOTE: If checked you will hear, monitor your own voice sometimes causing "Feedback")
   This can also be set from the Turtle Beach Control Panel.


NOTE:
By default, 'Skype' 'Ventrilo' 'TeamSpeak' 'Windows Messenger' and other
"Voice over IP" programs or "Internet Chat" programs, automatically adjust
the settings for your soundcard by selecting the Microphone input as the
default recording device. Even if you select "Line In" the next time you
reboot, these telephony programs will reset it to Mic.

If you have used the Line In or CD Audio as your preferred recording source,
the next time you go to record audio you will find that your preferred source
has 'gone silent.' This is easily remedied. Simply go to your soundcard's
control panel or audio mixer and switch it back to your preferred recording
input (Line In, CD Audio, or whatever).

To manually enable the Microphone input when you want to use Skype, you can
go into Skype > Tools > Options > Sound Devices and uncheck the box labeled
"Let Skype adjust my sound device settings." You will still need to manually
re-enable your preferred recording input after you've exited Skype.
'Skype' is only used as an example here. VTB does not endorse or reject any
of these software.
