Turtle Beach Ear Force PX21 User Manual page 8

Windows XP Setup Procedure
1. Insert the green 3.5mm 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 on your PC or lap-
top. After Windows indicates that
it found a new USB audio device,
click on Start → Control Panel →
Sounds and Audio Devices.
3. In the dialog box (shown here),
click on the Audio tab. Note the
device that's selected under the
Playback and Recording menus,
as you may want to set these back
once you're done setting up the
PX21.
4. Select "Turtle Beach USB Headset" in the pull down menus for Sound
Playback and Sound Recording. You can change these back to the original
settings after you're done setting the PX21 volume levels.
5. Click on the Volume button in the Sound Playback section to activate the
mixer panel (shown here).
6. Click on Options → Properties
in the top menu. In the dialog
box, click on Playback and check
Speaker, WAV and Microphone.
This determines which volume
controls will appear in the mixer.
Click OK to activate the playback
mixer (shown here).
7. Turn up the Speaker and Wave
volume sliders to maximum.
These determine the level of chat
you hear in the PX21. Since the
PX21 has a Chat volume control
on the amplifier, setting these to
maximum allows you to adjust
the incoming chat volume on the
amplifier without having to access these mixer controls.
