It's been awhile since I've bought my Logitech USB Clear chat headset. It has great sound and talking clarity; but one thing irks me.

Midis sound like crap on this headset. I would have to unplug the headset and turn on my speakers just to hear decent midi sound.



Well, recently I bought a new 2.4gig dual core processor, everything runs great; but for some reason my sound card seems to have stopped working; so now I am stuck with using my headset for everything until I find out just what the problem is.


Does anyone know how I can get midis to sound decent with my headset, and as a side question; does anyone know wtf is wrong with my (now dated) sound card?

I didn't even remove the sound card while installing the CPU, so this perplexes me.

So how do you have sound if your soundcard isn't working? Using onboard now?

He is using a USB headset no sound card needed for that. What OS are you using, I know I have a friend that has a USB head set that sounds like ass on his old XP system but on his Vista system it sounds so much better.

Headset with a built in sound card? That's probably the problem imo.

I am using XP, I'll see about perhaps getting some drivers for this sound card. Thank you for the suggestions.
