Troubleshooting the Vantage USB Headset for Playstation 3

You will quickly discover that the groups of people who tend to win PlayStation 3 online multiplayer games are those that stay in constant communication. Logitech's Vantage USB headset is designed specifically for the PlayStation 3 and can be a great way to keep in touch with your friends as you play. However, you may have difficulty if the headset malfunctions. If this happens, there are a few things you can try to get your headset working again.

Things You'll Need

Two or more PlayStation 3 games with voice chat capability

Instructions

- 1
  Try two or more different PlayStation 3 games with voice chat to see if your headset works with different games. If this is the case, you should then consult the game's manual or website for further technical support.
- 2
  Connect the Vantage headset to a different PlayStation 3 USB port. Test each port to see if your problem comes from the USB port instead of the headset. If this is the case, check the PlayStation support website for further options.

  Plug your Vantage headset into a USB port on your computer and check the record setting by right-clicking the volume control icon in the lower-right corner of the desktop of your computer. Click "Recording Devices" on the context menu and speak into your headset. If you get no movement from the microphone section of the recording device, your headset is broken.
