Does it work for normal sounds, or is it not picking up anything? Go to Control Panel>Sounds Speech, and Audio Devices. Click Sounds and Audio Devices, then under Speaker Settings click Advanced, and select Stereo Headphones.

My wife uses those headphones. All we did was plug in the USB adapter to a free USB port, let it install, and then in her games selected C-Media as the audio device we wanted to use.

When you plugged in the adapter, did a message display in the system tray saying it found new hardware?

i am having a similar problem..... it used to work but then Widows i think had an update and it stopped working.

Now every time i plug in the USB Device I get this error....

i clicked the message and id showed the USB was unknown and even showed was getting no power. so i switched it to a known working usb port and same problem.

I even went as far as to install Driver Detective and it confirmed that:

but im not going to pay for it to fix it till when i could do it myself.

Hello Freman and welcome to TSF
that message means your device is maybe broken, try to put it in another PC (a friend's PC or your parent's) and see if the same message appears, if it still the same, you have to get a new USB sound card

@ headhunterz, plug in the USB sound card, go to control panel -> sounds and audio devices
make sure that the C-media USB Headphone set is set as the default device

ok i plugged it on parents comp with vista and it still doesn't work.

Where do I just get the USB Connecter device? and not new headphones?

you have to get a new USB sound card ( the USB device) and not new headphones
