    Hey guys, I recently purchased this USB Headset from Newegg. It works great, but I'm wondering if there was a way for me to have all sound come out from my speakers, but allow my mic to still work as an input.
    Hopefully this makes sense, if theres anything I can do to clear that question up, let me know.
    Thanks in advance!

    You should have gotten just an USB microphone then if you don't plan on using the entire headset but just the mic.

    Thing is, I will be using it to travel as well, and want the option to turn them back on. My speakers just sound better at home. Thanks for that though. ;)


    Had a 3.5mm and wasn't a fan, connection wasn't as clear as the USB imo.
    I have a Conexant HD audio input. Standard dv9000t sound card.
