I've got a bit of an odd one as I have gotten this to work 3 or 4 times but now it just doesn't work anymore.
Setup is I have a 22" LG Monitor with audio out. I have my xbox 360 with hdmi into the monitor, then the line out wire I have going down to the PC, into Line In.
Audio comes out of the speakers just fine. I plug in my MS Lifechat LX-3000, audio still comes out of the speakers for the 360.
Audio from the PC is coming out of the headset just fine.
Now when I did have it work I had went into the Windows Audio settings, to Recording, Line In, Listen, then checked Listen to this device, and set playback to headset. It worked. I tried this about 3 times in March and all was good. Since then I've tried with no luck.
If I set Line in to headset, and show the headsets volumes, it shows the Line In. If I mute the headset, it still comes out of the speakers. If I mute the Line In options, still comes out of the speakers. I set Line In to output to speakers, then mute Line In, STILL comes out of the speakers. If I mute speakers, then it stops.
So it seems this thing regardless of what I set line in to, headset, default or speakers, it goes to the speakers. If I mute the line in options, still plays through speakers.
I've played with it on and off over the months and now find it pretty annoying. Removed drives, put it newest, etc.
Just doesn't make any damn sense.
I see the Line In audio settings jump from Speakers to Headset when I change the "Listen to" setting. Oh yea, and If I uncheck the listen to this device, it plays out of the speakers still.
Quick test, plugged in standard headphones to front panel, it prompted what Jack it should use as, I selected headphones, speakers stopped and 360 audio came out of 3.5mm jack, still not usb.
Edit: switched the wire from Line In to Microphone and it is working as intended. Not sure what side effects this may have, or if it will eventually stop working as well. Very odd.
