Why doesn't my microphone work on my coby cvm361 headset

Check the headphones for an on/off switch

See the sound settings

No it doesn't have internal mic. you need a External Headset with microphone to use skype.

The lifer is what notifies your headset that it has an incoming call. Try turning the ringer volume up on your phone first and see if that solves the problem. If that does not help, it could be that the sensor on the lifter is going out. The lifter ships with a ring detector that has a 2.5mm jack on one end and a small round microphone on the other end. You could try plugging this into the back of the lifter and setting the microphone next to where the lifter is mounted on your phone. This might help in picking up the sound of the phone's ring tones. If that doesn't help, you might consider replacing the lifter.

Good luck from Headsets Direct!

could be your settings try to monitor your own microphone when you talk. could also be break in the microphone cable. check the its plugged into red socket not pink it should have a microphone symbol

Hi,

Do you have the chat cable connected?

Is the mic turned off on the inline volume controller?

Is the Chat volume turned up on the inline volume controller?

Test the microphone on a PC by plugging in the USB into a PC and test if it works.

If it doesn't then you can ask for a spare microphone from TRITTON / Madcatz.

If the mic works on the PC then the problem might be with the chat cable which you can also ask from TRITTON or Madcatz.

Hope it helps...

You need power from the transmitter to power this mic. See your mics specs to determine if it needs "Phantom Power"
Perhaps the transmitter doesn't supply power. Condenser mics may not work. Stay with the dynamic type. IMHO

Not if it works. Mine are pink for mic in and black for mic out.

Common problem with this headset.

In short, the wiring for the mic in the left earpiece is quite shoddy, and over time will be worn away by changing the mic position or come loose with minimal effort.

Have had a over a dozen of these fail in our internet cafe due to this issue after a couple of months use.

It sounds like something in the control panel on your computer, Go into the sound settings and pick your device.
