    This is really quite frustrating, as I've been searching for hours how to fix this.

    Sound Blaster Recon3Di thx TruStudio Pro, is not detecting my USB Turtlebeach px22 headset, at all.

    The only way it'll detect the HEADPHONES part of the headset, is if I use the aux jack.

    It DOES NOT DETECT MY MICROPHONE, at all.

    Now, my headset works, I can use it with Windows sounds, so I can use it as I bought it.

    However, I can NOT use it with Sound Blaster to get the extra stuff, such as the crystal voice, and why can't it detect USB connections?

    This is really frustrating.

    Update:
    It is still not working.

    I uninstalled the drivers from the Device Manager and restarted, it did an automatic reinstall for the driver.

    Does sound blaster even detect USB Audio devices? Or no? This is annoying. This is the first time I literally have found NOTHING on the internet about my issue.

    I have done the impossible.

    It's not a problem with Recon3Di or Turtlebeach hardware, any usb headset would have nothing to do with analog sound output. USB headset has it's own little sound card (DAC), which converts digital signals into analog for your headphones. Most USB headsets come with their own software, which lets you customise the sound. No drivers will help you control the sound via recon3di control panel as that sound card is simply not working at all when you connect usb sound card and select usb card as default sound output device.
    Just had a quick look at your headset - all the controls seem to be external.

    So in short, I can not use Recon3Di with a USB headset, and more specifically, Crystal Voice with my Microphone?

    Yes. But your mic should have some tricks of it's own to clear the voice.

    It's the same battle I have been having with the Recon3d software and my G930's since I bought the software over a year ago. I don't use it because it just does not work with my G930's and has a hissy fit when I plug them in. I never found a working solution but that does not mean there isn't one, I gave up after a week or two.

    The only software that works with USB headsets I've found is Razer Surround... 3DRecon is useless..
