alright guys, my problem is ill start my pc with my wheel unplugged and microphone plugged in [usb] and it works fine in skype and teamspeak ect. but the minute i plug my wheel in my mic goes all static like and noone can hear peep from me. Anyone have an suggestions as to the cause of this problem?

I guess you could move the mic's USB cable to a USB port that is as far away as possible. Maybe?

Are you by any chance using a USB hub? If so you could try and unplug it to see if it makes any difference. If not try what Passo says Good luck!

not using a usb hub, i have tried front usb ports and rear ones but to no luck

That's a very weird problem indeed then.

What operating system are you using? Are you having trouble with TS, Skype or Both?

using XP, mic works fine in ts and skype until i plug my wheel in then it goes wack.

This is very similar to a problem i have with my microphone.

Well i have a G25 & a logitech attack3 joystick plugged in all the time,but it also will do this when there not installed!!

If im on TS only,i can be heard!!.

But if im on lfs & driving i cant be heard on TS through my mic ,BUT if i stop driving & spec,i can

Plus+++for some weird reason when i have a conversation on MSN messanger & have LFS running,my car can be heard by the person im chatting with @ the time,but if i try an chat with them...Nothing???

Now i have a logitech 5.1 sound system that takes up all three sound jacks on the back of my com,but i still have two on front for the mic & another speaker\headphone jack.(still i have same prob)

I am using the Realtech AC97 Audio drivers ver 5.36,Cant seem to find any updated drivers,looks like that its the only ver

Dam computers,good thing i didnt spend much on the mic(mind you it not a Al-cheapO)but still to me it was not much...

(well i really would love to get this working,but i guess you guys dont want to hear my ugly voice ranting & spamming anytime soon F***!)

@ blacknight, its odd that they can hear you when you spec in LFS. Maybe LFS is hogging all your CPU when your driving?

@ Liam. What are your PC specs, namely the PSU. It sounds as if you could be maxing out your PSU.
