Troubleshooting Tips
Go to Table of Contents
Possible Cause Solution
Game Volume Control turned down Check that the Game Volume Control on the Surround Sound Control Unit is turned up.
Additionally, check that your PC Volume is turned up as well.
Loose connection Confirm that the Headset is plugged firmly into the Surround Sound Control Unit and
that the USB plug of the Surround Sound Control Unit is firmly inserted into the
computer USB port.
Incorrect Settings Go to the Sound Settings and make sure ‘Z60 Game’ is set as the Default Playback/
Output Device. In addition, check the Audio Settings of the specific software you’re
using.
Possible Cause Solution
Not selected as an Input Device Select the Z60 as an Input Device as described in “Windows PC Setup” on page 9 or
“Mac OSX Setup” on page 12. Additionally, check the Audio Settings in the specific
software program you are using.
Mic muted On the Surround Sound Control Unit, the Mic Mute Indicator will be lit red. Give the Mic
Mute Button a short press. The Mic Mute Indicator will turn off.
Mic disconnected Confirm that the Removable Mic Boom is firmly inserted into the Headset.
No sound:
Voice Chat Drops:
Most in-game voice chat drops are caused by network congestion or “lag.” They usually subside after a few moments so please be
patient. You may need to leave the game and return to reset the chat function. If you use a wireless internet connection, low signal
strength from your modem/router can make the voice chat malfunction. For best results, we recommend a wired connection from
your modem/router to your computer.
Microphone not working:

Important Safety Information
To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before transporting it.
WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high volumes for extended periods of time, so
it is important to keep the volume at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level that may
not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears after listening with the
headset, it means the volume is set too loud.
The louder the volume is set, the less time it takes to affect your hearing. So, please take care to listen at moderate
levels.
• Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely, then slowly increase it to a comfortable level.
• Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
