Anyone else ever have this happen? I go into the PS3 menu and try to test the device under Audio Devices and I'm getting nothing in the mic. I've double checked  everything a dozen times. Everything is turned on. I can connect the USB mic to my Mac and it works fine. Any ideas? i hate to have to buy another mic for no reason.

News to me. It wouldn't hurt to give Sony's customer service a call.

Do you have multiple headsets?  I had two Logitechs and had similar issues, come to find out they were both setup and weren't automagically switching.  Sound was set to one and mic to another; resetting them manually to match what I was using fixed the problem.

Now I am TurtleBeach and loving it...

Make sure you have it set for "Audio Multi-Output".

See here - http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/audiomulti.html

I had this problem when I first got my TurtleBeach headset and it took me forever to figure it out.  Every once in a while a PS3 update would reset this setting to so perhaps that's what happened.

"Audio-Multi Output" is what get games sounds AND chat to your headphones.  A definite plus for Turtlebeaches...

[TunaPhreak]

Audio multi-output is what gets game sounds to my TV & my surround Tuner at once

[CharlieTuna]

Even better!  The :nagnag lovely wife bitches when I run my game thru the stereo - hence the Turtlebeach to quelch her bitch...

I've never had to set multi-ouput to on.  My game sounds go through the optical out and communications go through usb.  My Tritton box then mixes the two together.

I believe my TurtleBeach works the same way.  

I was under the impression that, when the PS3 is plugged into your TV, that was "audio out #1" and when you then plug in a headset like a TurtleBeach, that the head set would be "audio out #2", which was why the Multi-Output option needed to be on.

I could very well be wrong though.

Though I just reread the OP and realize he probably just has a chat only mic, so it's irrelevant to his problem anyway.

This is correct for a lot of microphones. My PS3 microphone included, I know because I had the same effin issue.

Also, check your lounge settings to see if you have voice chat enabled. My mic did not work in your lounge either.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll check all those settings when I get home tonight.

Nice, that's an easy one to forget, and has bugged me out before as well.  WTF, IT'S WORKING IN THE TEST SCREEN, WHY NOT IN THE ROOM!!! Oh, it's a no audio room
