USB headset use does not allow sound

[Xepharon]

I use a Logitech USB microphone/headphone combination device, but when I have that plugged in, the procaster refuses to pick up any of the sound that comes through my headphones. It'll pick up the mic no problem, but it will not even recognize on the mixer volume bar that any sound is playing. The headphones play sound just fine though. How can I correct this, while keeping my headset?

Are you saying that it picks up your headphone mic but not some other sound source that you can hear in your headset.

What OS, XP, Vista, 7?
Have you updated to current version of Procaster?
When you mention "mixer" are you talking the one that's part of your system or the one in Procaster?

Same problem here. I've got this headset from Logitech, and it never recorded sound from the earphones, just the mic. Using WinXP, I just reinstalled Procaster. Messing with the mixers doesn't seem to fix the issue either, and on Procaster's Mixer I get the options of 'Default input device', 'Logitech USB Headset' and 'Speaker's Audio'.

People please include more details than "same problem." We may note differences that may not be obvious to you. Please include complete details always.

FireFox11, your post doesn't make sense to me. One wouldn't record sound from earphones. One records sound from microphones. In general you may need to look at both your OS's sound mixer as well as Procaster's mixer.

Alright, sorry if I wasn't clear.

What I want Procaster to do (although I'm unsure if it's possible) is to both record my voice from the microphone while it also records what I'm hearing from the earphones. As it is right now, people who watched my livestream can only hear my voice.

I've played around with Procaster's Mixer as well as the input/output sound mixer settings of my OS to no avail. I don't know if it's just an unsupported function for WinXP OS or I'm doing something wrong.

If you could specify what details do you want, it would make it easier for me to give you all the information you want.

Got it. I have a Windows XP computer which has the same issue. I've never been able to resolve it. What sound card and driver are you using?

[Henry_live]

Currently Audio Mixing is not supported in Windows XP machines, which is why you are experiencing this problem. It is supported in Vista and Windows 7.

Oh, I see. Guess there's no need for me to post the sound card & drivers then.

Are you planning to add this feature to WinXP by any chance?

Adding this is not on our roadmap for future releases since it's related to how XP handles audio.
