Q How do I connect a headset to PC?
A It's very simple to connect a microphone or a computer headset/handset with a built-in microphone to your sound card. You simply plug-in the microphone and speakers leads to your sound card (usually located at backside of the computer). If you are using a computer Headset/Handset (recommended), with a built-in microphone, the plugs usually have a marking on them (or they're color-coded) to indicate which lead is for the microphone, so you just cant mix them. After that, you should adjust microphone sensitivity or/and activate if it isnt enabled already. Go to "Volume" controls, usually beside system clock> Open volume control> Options> Properties
