Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Trust GXT 492 Gaming Headset, please refer to the following common solutions:

No Sound from Headset

• Check Connection: Ensure the 3.5mm audio cable is fully and securely plugged into both the headset and your device's audio port.

• Correct Output Device: On your computer or console, ensure the headset is selected as the default audio output device in your sound settings.
• Test on Another Device: Try connecting the headset to a different device to determine if the issue is with the headset or the original device.

Microphone Not Working

• Mute Switch: Check if the microphone mute switch on the headset is in the "unmute" position.
• Device Settings: On your computer or console, ensure the headset microphone is selected as the default input device in your sound or communication settings. Check microphone privacy settings on Windows 10/11.
• Application Settings: If using a specific application (e.g., Discord, Zoom, in-game chat), check its audio settings to ensure the correct microphone is selected and not muted within the application.
• Test on Another Device: Connect the headset to another device and test the microphone to isolate the problem.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your headset:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the ear cups and headband. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the headset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on the headset.
