Windows Vista & Windows 7 Setup Procedure
®
[Windows 7-specific instructions are in
italics]
1. Insert the 3.5mm green plug into the
sound card or headphone output. This
connects the stereo output signal to the
PX21 amplifier so you can set the level
with the Game Volume control.
2. Insert the PX21 USB connector into
a USB port. After Windows indicates
that it found a new USB audio device,
click on Start (circular Windows logo) →
Control Panel → [Win7: Hardware and
Sound] → Sound.
3. In the dialog box (shown here), click
the Playback tab, right-click "Turtle
Beach USB Headset" and select "Set as
Default Device". A green circle with a
check mark will appear to indicate that
this is now your default sound device.
(If the green circle is already indicating
that the PX21 is selected, skip to the
next step).
4. Under the Recording tab, right-click
on "Turtle Beach USB Headset" and se-
lect "Set as Default Device" [Win7: and
"Set as Default Communications Device"].
A green circle with a microphone icon
will appear to indicate that this is now
your default communication device. (If
the green circle is already indicating that
the PX21 is selected, skip to the next
step).
5. [Win7: Under the Communications
tab, select "Do Nothing"].
6. Under the Playback tab, double-click
on "USB Audio Device" to bring up the
Speakers Properties mixer panel.
7. Click on the Levels tab.
8. Set the Speakers slider to maximum.
This, along with the Chat dial on the PX21
amplifier, will determine the level of chat
you hear in the PX21.
