Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your headset:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the headset. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the headset in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
- Cable Care: Do not sharply bend or pull the cable. Avoid wrapping the cable too tightly around the headset.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your headset, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Sound/Low Volume:
- Ensure the USB cable is fully inserted into the port.
- Check the in-line volume control and increase the volume.
- Verify that the audio mute button is not active.
- Confirm the headset is selected as the default audio output device in your system's sound settings.
- Microphone Not Working:
- Ensure the mic mute button is not active.
- Check your system's sound settings to ensure the headset microphone is selected as the default input device and its volume is not set to zero.
- Some games or applications may have their own in-game voice chat settings that need to be configured.
- PS3 Compatibility:
- While the headset is listed as compatible with PS3, some users have reported that only microphone functionality works, and game audio may not be routed through the headset. This can vary by PS3 model and specific game.
- Ensure your PS3 system software is up to date.
- Navigate to the PS3's Accessory Settings > Audio Device Settings and ensure the "Hyperkin Ultra Wave" is selected for both Input and Output Devices.
- Intermittent Connection:
- Try connecting the headset to a different USB port on your device.
- Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked.
