Turtle beach x11's and mic problem

cubix

Bought two pairs of these yesterday so am ruling out a problem with them, more than likely something I have done. Can hear game play through the head phones and can hear myself talk but cannot talk to team mate when playing Quake 4. We have two xbox360's hooked up over a lan. Have gone into pref's on the console and made sure mic is not muted etc.
Can someone please confirm that the mic function where you can talk to your team mate works when playing over a lan setup.

Thanks

I might be that the correct ports aren't open for it in the router. Just a guess though.

Thanks for the quick reply TMIN as its is doing my head in. What range of port number would I need to open. The fact the game and game sound etc is getting through, does not count?

Cheers

Have a look at the stickied thread at the top of the forum about NAT. Walsh does an excellent walkthrough. You'll need to do it for both consoles. Even if it's not the problem, it's worth doing anyway.

Let me know how you get on.

cubix

Cheers, will do;)

Don't mean to sound patronising here; are your cables plugged in correctly? A mate of mine had a similar problem but sorted it with some cable fiddling.

cubix

ZB work away but think I have everything in the right place. The fact I can hear myself talk, im thinking I have the connections right. Can you lads tell me if the this PF looks right. The second picture is how I input the info, still not working unfortuneitly

Ok, have you tried them through xbox live party chat yet or just through a lan connection?

cubix

Dont have any xbox live sub's just bought them to play via a lan in the house

Ok, I'm just not sure if the lan connection on Quake will allow voice chat. Are you sure it does?

cubix

No worries, not the end of the world if it doesnt at least I will know why. Will have to do a bit of searching. IF anyone hears anything would appreciate it if you could post here, thanks.

Weird, I have the opposite problem. I can talk to the XBL Party but cant hear myself in the headphones. Did you do anything particular to enable that?

DeV.

cubix

Cant really say as i dont use XBL. As ZB mentioned make sure all cables are in the correct place and in Xbox DB/pref's/ make sure "through headset" is ticked.

Moose is the expert when it comes to X-mics, is it possible you can take a picture of the back of the console and TV so we can see you're lead set up.

Also make sure you're settings are set appropriatly.

Have you got the little cable from the headset controls plugged into the controller?


If it's the one I have, I forgot that.

Hecklar

That cable can be very temperamental too, so even if its in, it might not be working.

cubix

Thanks lads, both cables are in alright. Picked this up from another website, is it true
"If both of you are not signed into live it wont work as the chat feature is for onlive only"

IF this is true, this may be my problem as I dont use xbox live. Can anyone confirm if it is possible to talk to your team mate via TB X11's when playing over a home lan.

cubix

TMIN, just to let you kow I tried Halo Reach and hey prestol we have game chat. So as said seem to be game related, cheers;). On a side not is there anywhere online you can check if a game as in-game chat or is it a given if a game was produced after a set date.

Thought so. You should be ok with CoD's and Rainbow Six games, if that's any help to you.

Grand job. Might post a new topic but even though both Xbox's have harddrives, old xbox 20g and new slim xbox with 4gig when trying to play certain missions in Halo I get an error " one or more xboxes do not have suitable harddrives" andy idea?

Thanks

You've got me baffled on that one.

Is one of them installed on the harddrive and the other on a disk, by any chance?
