Setup console headset on PC

[Ilrita]

Okay, so I have a pair of the Turtle Beach X32 headset and have decided that I need a mic. It's all I have lying around, so I'm aware of how bad they are. But anyways, I can't seem to figure out how to get the mic to work on the PC.

Turtle Beach doesn't sell the adapter anymore, and others who have it and are selling it have it set a $30 price tag. Pretty hefty size for a cable. So is there anything I can buy that's dirt cheap (in the $10 hopefully) that can do the trick? Apparently I need something like this (fee free to correct me!) but I have no idea what this thing is even called.

the tb sets you need to wire up to everything to get to work right

the usb vers have their own sound card on usb for mic/voip
then you need to plug it into the stereo speaker out for game sounds
it will mix the voice and sounds, and return your mic

similar steps for pc
you can use a stereo-rca cable to get game sounds from the pc to the headset

the headsets have adjustments for game and voip volumes

Hello,

Thanks for the videos. I can get the audio to work through the PC, it is just the mic that I can't seem to figure out. I don't know what cable/s I need in order to get it to work.

plug the usb cable in to the pc

check windows audio settings to see if its seen as speakers and mic
if it is use that
set voip out to work on it along with game sounds (windows can mix it)

or

pc sound out, to the line in (for the x32 to mix voip and game sounds)
will need to pick up a 3.5mm headphone - 3.5mm headphone cable if using it on a pc (game sounds)

and the headphone mic/voip to the pc headphone and mic jacks for the voip
use the supplied 360 cable
you need to pick up a stereo/mic cable/splitter

and plug that into the mic cable from the headset (vlip and mic)
plug those into the fron jacks on the pc and set realtek audio control panel to use them as a seperate sound card for voip only
and assign windows audio to use realtek rear for windows sounds, and front jacks for voip and mic

Thank you for the help man, really. :)

I am unclear on what you mean on the second half passed the first link though. Which 360 cable and how exactly do I use the item in the second link?

the 360 audio cable, to go from the headset to the 360 controller

just tell windows what to use for voip and sound and make sure they work

Alright. I'll try the USB again and then order the item for testing. :)
