with the microphone symbol into the pink jack, and plug the green

plug marked with the headset symbol into the green jack.

2. Plug the USB adapter into the computer.

take several seconds.

4. Start the audio application. For example, instant messaging

Troubleshooting

This section provides troubleshooting directions for the headset.

Headphones

v If you cannot hear anything, multiple speaker devices might be

attached. Find the Devices or Options section of your application

and make sure that the Lenovo USB/Analog Headset by Sennheiser

is the device being used. In USB mode, it is the ″C-Media USB Sound

Device″. In analog mode, it is listed as an option related to your

specific sound card.

v If you still cannot hear sound, check the volume control on the

headset cord, and make sure that it is not turned all the way down.

Set it to a mid-range position. Also, check the volume levels for

Windows Sound Manager for all devices in playback mode, and the

volume level settings (if any) for the application you are using.

Check that the headset is not muted, and that all sound levels are at

50%. When you start to hear sound, these settings can be adjusted to

comfortable levels.

1-8 Lenovo USB/Analog Headset by Sennheiser User’s Guide

v If you still cannot hear sound, check to make sure that the headset is

not muted. Under Windows Sound Manager, there is a Mute check

box for speakers (see the figure above for location of mute buttons).

This must be cleared. Many notebook computers (including Lenovo

systems) also have mute buttons that control audio components.

v If you hear your own voice in your headset (sidetone), and want to

disable it, go into Windows Sound Manager, and do the following:

1. Go to Select Options -> Properties.

2. Adjust the volume for playback. Make sure that the microphone

volume control is selected and click OK.

About the Lenovo USB/Analog Headset by Sennheiser 1-9

3. Mute the microphone volume on the page.

4. Go to Select Options -> Properties.

5. Adjust the volume for recording. Make sure that the microphone

volume control is selected and click OK.

6. Ensure that the microphone volume on the page is unmuted and

set to a reasonable level.

This will mute the microphone for purposes of playback, so that you

do not hear your own voice, while leaving it free to record. If you still

wish to hear your voice, but want to increase or decrease the volume,

do not mute the microphone in step 3, but adjust the volume level

instead.

Microphone

v If the microphone is not recording, or does not sound correct,

multiple microphone amplifiers might be attached to your computer

system. Find the ″Devices″ or ″Options″ section of your application

and make sure that the Lenovo USB/Analog Headset by Sennheiser

1-10 Lenovo USB/Analog Headset by Sennheiser User’s Guide

is the device being used. In USB mode, it is listed as ″C-Media USB

Sound Device″. In analog mode, it is listed as an option related to

your specific sound card.

v If your microphone still does not record, check the mute button on

the headset cord, and make sure that it is not turned to the muted

position. Also, check the volume levels in Windows Sound Manager

for the microphone in recording mode (see step 4 of “Adjusting the

microphone” on page 1-5), and the volume level settings (if any) for

the application you are using. Ensure that none of these settings are

muted, and that the volume levels are set to 50%. When the

microphone starts recording, these can be adjusted to more

comfortable levels.

Other Issues

v Some USB hubs can cause problems with the Lenovo USB/Analog

Headset. They might interfere with the sound quality, or prevent the

computer from properly recognizing the headset. Therefore, it is not

optimal to connect the USB/Analog Headset to a USB hub. If you are

having problems, and are using a USB hub, try plugging the adapter

directly into the computer.

v If the device does not record or play sound when using the USB

adapter, and all other options have been tried, there might be an

issue with Windows. Try using Windows Update to update to the

latest version of Windows. Also, make sure that you have

downloaded the latest anti-virus update for your anti-virus scanner

and that your system is clean. Finally, test your system for spyware

to see if there is any malicious spyware that could be affecting your

system performance. After completing all of that, if there are still

problems, look in device manager at ″Sound, video, and game

controllers″. There will be a device listed as a ″C-Media USB Sound

Device″ or ″USB Audio Device″ depending on your system

configuration.

v If you would like to use the integrated sound in your system while

the USB device is plugged in, you can select which sound device to

use by right-clicking on the speaker icon in the system tray and

selecting ″Adjust Audio Properties″. Select the audio tab to display

the window below:

1-12 Lenovo USB/Analog Headset by Sennheiser User’s Guide

By changing the default device from C-Media or USB audio

(depending on your system) to other devices, those devices will

become the default audio device used by applications when they are

first started.
