What is the difference between your headphones and other headphones?
Most other headphones on the market are only stereo, meaning they only have 2 speaker sound. Our headphones work in 5.1 surround sound using our patented 6 speaker design in every pair of headphones giving you true theater sound. When watching a dvd movie or playing a game the sound surrounds you like no other headphones. You can hear sounds comming from all directions, other stereo headphones cannot do this. You just have to try them to hear for yourself.

Windows wants to run this device as Stereo, how do I get 5.1 support?
There are no downloadable drivers for the HSMT-UD or UD headphones. As soon as you plug the headphones in the computer the operating system should automatically install the drivers. The only thing you have to do is go into your speakers advanced tab in sounds and audio devices in the control panel and change it to 5.1 surround sound speakers.

MG-AC97

Can I use my speakers and the headphones at the same time?
No, the AC97 headphones plug directly into your soundcards outputs so either the speakers or headphones can be plugged in at one time.
[Back to top]
Do I need a soundcard with the AC97 headphones?
Yes, our headphones require a 5.1 compatible soundcard to Operate correctly but will work with most other soundcards in stereo only.
[Back to top]
I have a computer with an onboard soundcard will this be ok with the headphones.
This is a tricky question; it depends on the soundcard outputs. Some systems say they have a 5.1 soundcard but only have 3 connectors (usually line-in, line-out, and mic) our headphones require 4 to operate as designed (front speaker, center, rear and mic) So you may not be able to use the mic with this type of soundcard. Others have more connectors and will work correctly. We suggest checking with the manufacturer to find out more information about your soundcard.

I have an Audigy2 soundcard and don’t want to unplug my speakers to use the headphones is there a way to do this?
You may want to purchase our LTB-USB-M headphones. They plug directly into the USB port and do not require a soundcard in your system. As you have a soundcard already you just may have to go into your device manager and disable your audigy2 card (only takes a few secs to do this). When you want to use your speakers again just re-enable the soundcard. The reason for this is that windows can only use 1 sound device at a time so you cannot have both the speakers and headphones on at the same time. (Why would you want them both on at the same time anyway?)
[Back to top]
I hear static when there is no sound playing how do I fix this?
This is usually caused due to a common ground loop problem that is not caused by your headphones.. Please use the included Ac Adapter for your power source rather than the direct USB to PC connection.

MG51-USB

After a while play a game the sound becomes choppy - how do i fix this?
This is usually cause by your system running out of resources to process the sound correctly. To maximize your resources disable any program you currently do not need such as antivirus/firewall software while playing the game. Also you can disable any program you do not need to run every time the computer starts by clicking on Start then Run type in MSCONFIG then clicking on the Startup tab. Uncheck anything you do not need to run such as Realplayer MSN chat etc..

Q-BASS-U

The audio seems low when I listen - what should I do?
First check the audio properties of your computer to see that the speaker/audio volume is at maximum. The volume control on the Q-Bean will only control the base OS volume and not spcifically the application (Some windows applications will however)
[Back to top]
The Microphone pick up level is very low - What should I do?
Check the advanced audio properties. The microphone setting should be enabled and correct the volume level there. Do not make it too high otherwise people you converse with may hear thier own voice. Use a moderate setting as the Microphone is quit sensitive.
[Back to top]
When I plug in the wireless transmitter I get a windows error.
Because the Q-Bass USB chipset is plug & play it loads a hardcoded driver into your USB port. You must not have any Media player application open when initially installing the USB transmitter into a USB port. If the port was being used for another USB device prior to connecting the Q-Bass transmitter, you may need to shutdown your system (not restart) then re-boot and wait until your computer has completely restarted. Then plug in the USB transmitter and wait until your computer recognizes the Audio Magic driver (takes about 1 minute) then procede to Sync the transmitter and receiver units.

How do I adjust proper mic setting in "Dragon Naturally Speaking" ?
Some users report an issue withthe utility included with Dragon Naturally Speaking; when testing the microphone level, the utility automatically raises the volume control in the Mixer to the maximum level, boosting the level out of its usable range. This causes the utility to report that the microphone and sound card failed the test, even though everything is actually working properly. Try these steps to remedy this situation: 1) Open the operating system sound properties and verify that the microphone input is active. Test this by recording your voice to your computer (you can use AudioView or Windows Sound Recorder). Keep the Mixer open on the desktop. 2) Open Dragon Naturally Speaking, and run its calibration utility. Keep both this and the Mixer visible on the desktop. 3) When the Dragon calibration utility turns the microphone volume all the way up to 100%, switch to the Mixer and with the mouse click, drag and hold the microphone level down to about 75%, and proceed with the test (you will need to hold the mic level down during the entire test). 4) If the test fails, try again. This time, keep the microphone volume at 50%, or less if necessary. 5) When you have found a good microphone setting, close the Mixer. This will save the setting.

My Headphone system appears to interrupt Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter what can I do?
Microsoft is familiar with this issue and thier adapter and references this advice" The 802.11a standard offers the same speed as 802.11g. A 5-GHz band (802.11a) is also less susceptible to interference from common devices, such as 2.4-GHz cordless telephones, cell phones, and microwave ovens. Further, in areas where neighboring wireless networks can be detected, interference can be a problem. Because of the limited number of channels and the popularity of 2.4-GHz networks, a 5-GHz network is likely to experience less interference from a neighboring wireless network than a 2.4-GHz network and provide a better overall wireless connection. Although a 5-GHz network offers many channels, 802.11a networks are not widely supported by other devices that you may also want to add to your network, such as laptop computers."

I hear static when there is no sound playing how do I fix this?
This is usually caused due to a common ground loop problem that is not caused by our headphones.. You can try these 3 things to resolve this issue. Because ground loops exist in machines with multiple AC devices (Monitor, peripherals etc...) They share the common attribute on inconsistent grounding (This means they each create their own power ground and cancel one another) usually this causes a ground loop that will bring the systems power supply noise into USB power circuit so to avoid this you can try the following: 1st try only one grounded connection to the PC. In other words use a PC power cable that has no third plug or get a cheater plug (One that converts the 3 prong plug into 2 prong plug, usually 1$ at a hardware store) 2nd you could try a separately powered USB port such as a USB hub. 3rd would be buying this: http://www.shopltb.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/3/products_id/34 99% of the time one of these suggestions solves this problem. If you want more information about ground loops you can look at this page (not affiliated with us) http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/basics.html
