#CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER RECON 3D MIC NOT WORKING PC#
Setup with a PC or Mac could not be simpler – you just plug the dongle in via USB, and forget about the computer's built-in sound-card, as the dongle contains its own, superior one. However, the Sound Blaster Recon 3D Omega takes a different – and better – approach, supplying an optical cable that fits into the dongle, alleviates an awful lot of fiddling around and also works on the PS3. The Xbox 360 was designed to provide audio out and mic in via its controllers – in a classic example of insanity that can only be explained by Microsoft's desire to get people to use its (thoroughly inferior) headsets, so with most gaming headsets, you either have to get an adaptor that fits into the controller or one that goes into the AV-out socket on the back of the machine. Setup can be a knotty issue with gaming headsets designed to operate across a range of consoles – especially with the Xbox 360, if you're inclined to use an HDMI connector.

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Recon3D Omega: Setup The microphone is one a sturdy boom that retains its shape, and there are volume controls on both the headset (the back of the left earcup) and the dongle.
