Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 Wireless Headset - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I think you firstly need to open wireless network on your iMac, then use the headset to search for it, then later get them connected. Such as bluetooth function maybe, because I did not do this before.Or you can ask an expert for help, it's better.electronics wholesale

Dear moather,
Here you go: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=ICE&type=LifeChat&name=JUF-00001&os=Win7_3264&lang=en Press the first link i.e. : "» LifeChat 1.4 (32-bit and 64-bit) for Windows 7"
Sincerly

I have the same problem right now, it seems to be the LifeChat 1.3 software that comes with the CD is an old version that only supports XP/ Vista.

Please try download LifeChat v 1.4 32/64bit Windows 7 version.

I am trying it now, hope it works.

any ac adapter will work, search on for the specs of the head set pertaining to the power requirments and go buy one. mmm i just looked around and it seems its a little hard to find so here it is,
input : 100 - 240 v
50 - 60 hz

js p 0.25a

a cd will come with the device..put the cd in, it will give you a step by step guide to install the device....part way through it it will tell you to plug the reciever part of the device into your computer....that should be the last step...after that, plug the head set into the ac adapter and wait 4 hours or over night for it to charge up....when it is complete, put it on, and click the call button on the side (middle button), the message will come up saying that the head set is being connected to the reciever...when its done, your good to go....if you have msn, and your online, a window will pop up asking you who you want to call

Yea, you can, you need to co to control panel and under sounds set the 360 head set control which will be your microsoft wireless control to default....but the sound is crapy..it seems that the manufacturers never designed this device for that kinda sound, only those who are talking to you with another mic...so i suggest sticking with your speakers or a good set of ear phones

you must wait for it to charge up...also...the device comes with its own driver so put that in even though the computer says it is ready to use...it will tell you how to set up the device....when its done...wait 4 hours or over night with the device pluged in and you should be good to go, press the call button on the side...the compter will either say its connected or a pop up window (if you are on msn) will pop up asking you who you want to call

This error was formed as a result of downloading the files repeatedly on a same computer. Some time the Microsoft Website won't allow users to download the same file repeatedly. In that case, the best option is to try again after 4-5 hours. Its also shown in the error message "setup cannot continue because there was an error downloading files,please try again later.

re-download the file.

What is? becasue this livechat won't answer wirelessly for skype unless someone can tell me the shortcut key for that button????

Unless your getting an error message which you should post, you will need to go into the app that you want to use it for and make it the new default for that setting. The other thing to be aware of is the green lights down on the underside are green when charging, this doesn't mean it is on or sync'ed

press them both (i pressed both at the same time) and waited until they both stopped flashing green and the green stayed on.
Another tip it doesn't seem to work while it is plugged in to the power ?? (can't 100% confrim this)

ALSO if you can't hear anything, the stupid thing comes with the volume right down. so it doesn;'t matter how loud your computer's sound is you'll think your going crazy, but you need to turn the volume on the actual headset up.

Also it seems that it either turns down auto or when on power or that when you are fiddling with live button too much you might inadvertantly turn down, its really easy to turn all the way down, so you will think the speakers aren't working and change every setting in the book just to find out thats all it is,

The drivers won't load unless you do. unless you could find the drives on the net

Normal 0 Make sure you select the wireless when you do the setup.

Also send this to your family and friends so they have their computer setup properly.
Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.
Each program has Options that have to be setup in order for the Audio and Video to function properly.

Skype Setup:
After downloading and installing Skype (http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/beta/downloading/) set it up as follows:

1. Go to Tools, then Options, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
2. Then click on the Video Settings.
3. The camera if Installed Properly will come up and show a video picture.
4. Then, on the bottom of the page click on Save.

The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now be able to see and her to you.
Hope this helps. Bud

Once everything is installed to the point where the XBox360 receiver is showing in the Device Manager (not under the sound, video, and game controllers section) I did the following.

1. Pressed the sync button on the USB receiver to where the green light started blinking
   
2. Pressed and held down the power button to turn on and force my headset to sync.
   

Once I did this the headset was detected, the four flashing lights turned solid, and an extra audio device showed up under the sound, video and game controllers section of the Device Manager.
I was then able to follow the following instructions, starting from Step 2, to setup my OS to use the headset: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935748

Microsoft really needs to work on documenting everything, like how to force the headset to sync. I wasted 15mins trying to get this working.

I hope this helps out others experiencing this issue and if you are thinking about purchaing this headset, it would do it from some place where you can return it. You may not find the sound quality to be any good.
