RE: Winamp, more help, please!

Hi.  Barry sent me a link to a different version of the plug in and it
worked first time.  The plug in from the source I got previously is
obviously unstable.  Walter.

Well, none of that should happen. heheh. I've had trouble configuring 
plugins with non-standard interfaces. THe winamp metroska/mkv one seems 
particularly suspect and only works about half the time anyway. I'm getting 
to the point of resigning to the need to use something like VLC for movies, 
but I don't really know if that's a concern for you or not. I haven't tried 
the crossfader plugin..maybe I'll give it a go and see for myself..but the 
spacebar should definitely activate the configure button under just about 
all circumstances.

universal headset microphones

[mbern6516]

Hello fellow pc-audio listers:
Being that I don't speak technical jargon, this is a bit hard for me to 
explain. So, I'll do the best I can, and hopefully, you'll understand 
what I'm talking about.
I'm looking for a headset microphone combo, to which I can use both on 
the computer and on my boombox and/or stereo. On the front of my 
computer's tower, there are two small plugs that are side by side. I 
believe one is called line-in, and the other is called line-out, or 
something to that effect. Anyway, when you feel them, they feel like 
headphone jacks. Most stereo headphones, such as the ones found on 
portable cd players have a 3.5 centermeter adapter on the end, that 
plugs perfectly into the type of headphone jacks I've mentioned above. 
So, here's my question. Can any of you recommend a good stereo headset 
microphone, that's universal? meaning I can plug it into the computer 
using the 3.5 centermeter adapters, when doing things on the computer, 
and also be able to plug it into other devices as well if necessary. Is 
there any particular brand of headsets that work better than others? I 
know its a bit open ended, but I hope my question makes some kind of 
sense. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Dane Trethowan]

Yep! Logitech make a whole range of these things.

The set I have here come with a USB adapter which plugs into 2 3.tMM male plugs 
which would plug into the front of your computer or you can use the USB 
adapter, take your pick.

Why is the headset designed that way? Simply because not all computers have 
headphone/microphone sockets on the front and only have USB connections.

The 2 sockets on the front of your computer are a stereo headphone and 
microphone socket respectively though don't rely on the microphone being a 
line-in socket.

The logitech headset I have works just as affectively with a stereo boombox 
3.5MM jack headphone out as it does with my computer, you just plug in the 
headphone plug of the headset into the boombox, iPod or whatever and away you 
go.

Now this is all very fine but a word of warning if you're planning to go down 
the headset headphones/microphone combo, some of the microphones on these set 
sound absolutely awful, like someone's talking through their nose, so be 
warned.  When I'm with my computer I use my headset along with an additional 
Logitech USB microphone, they're quite cheap.

If anyone wants to hear what my setup sounds like then send a "contact request" 
using Skype to grtdane12 along with an explanation of who you are and what you 
want and we can arrange it.
