Microsoft LifeChat™ LX-3000 Headset - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

In some cases installed drivers become defective for one reason or the other. You may try a free program from Glaysoft called GlayUtilities. Run the program and let it find faults. Clean the system when it finds errors. After the system is clean; reinstall the USB headset drivers and see if that works. That's a Start

search the solution on google

First of all, ditch XP! It is full of security holes! It's been EOL for years. This may help. If the app auto-starts, go into msconfig and disable any references. Check in services and disable any instances restart in system, look for your mic and remove (ensure it's not plugged in) restart if the software as a install/repair/remove option, select remove restart Try to reinstall and apply the mic only when requested.

Uninstall the first download in the Delete Programs menu and then try re-installing the software as a fresh copy

You can see if the wire is made corresponding to the USB 1.x/2.0 standard. (All USB cables should follow the standard, but many manufacturers don't respect this and use whatever cables they get cheap.) The Pin-out and wire colors can be found here: USB Wikipedia the free encyclopedia (scroll down to "Pinouts", also provided below) USB 1.x/2.0 standard pinout 1 VBUS Red (or orange) +5V 2 White (or gold) Data? 3 Green Data+ 4 GNDBlack (or blue) Ground Hope this helps!

Go to Control Panel--->Sounds and check whether the Headset is in mute

If you go to Control Panel, System, Device Manager, you'll likely see the device listed in there. It either has a broken driver, or wrong driver. I would recommend you find a device that's not working properly or has missing driver (it would have a yellow mark in front of the name) and delete it. Then click at the top to refresh the list/search for new hardware, for it to install new driver. You may also try to open the properties of that incorrectly installed device and click on Reinstall, then point to driver that came with the headset. But given this is Microsoft product, it be capable of downloading the driver from Windows Update. The point is that's already installed but either with incorrect driver or no driver. That usually happens when you plug it in before installing driver. So you need to remove driver and reinstall it. Another thing you can try if after installing doesn't work is use a different USB port. But that will use the same driver already installed for that device, so just doing this alone won't help in your case. Hope it works for you.

Hi,
I bought the headset recently and on first plug-in --- nothing! But then I realized that I had to open Sound in System Preferences and select them as the output choice. Works fine, though I haven't had a chance to test it out fully. But it works!

my only solution is that i keep my recording device tab open.

Go to Control Panel>Large Icon View>Sound>Playback Tab>Right Click The Headset Icon>Properties>Advanced Tab>Change the Default format from CD quality to DVD quality and voila. :D

hi
how do i connect the Microsoft LX-3000 Lifechat headphone to x box 360, i plugged the usb into the front of the x-box and its not working , i,ve got no drivers, but i can down load them , but what do i do with the drivers then?

try to isolate the issue. charge your device and use different cable and see if you will still get the same problem. it is also possible that the headset is faulty

With the infamous Vista, try:
Start --> Control panel --> Hardware and sound --> Sound --> Audio devices admin [I have a Spanish OS, I hope it is the same in the English version], then assign as default device the headset.

With Skype and other sw, you have to specifically pick the lx-3000 as the device that will be used as audio device (and the same has to be done to use the mic).

Pretty cumbersome....

You cant wire then directly there is a USB D-A chip that controls the headset converting to 1/8" mini plugs may work one for the mic and one stereo plug for the earcups

turn down the volume and keep the microphone as far away from the earpieces as possible.
