Yeah i tried changing some settings on that, it didn't work. I just ordered a new headset, lets hope it works on my computer this time.

Sometimes those cords are made too flimsy for real use - especially if you have kids. I've patched mine a few times, even at a kink where the wire had parted within the insulation.
