You just plug it in. You plugged the mic and the headphones into the corresponding colored porta right?

These are garbage, i had the same problem with both. You can try adjusting your mic settings in the control panel but that didn't help me.

I wish I could help. Unfortunately, I never had much for problems with my mic. What type of program(s) are you using that's picking up the noise? And what's your operating system? I've used mine with things like Skype and Bandicam and it works fine (both on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1). I did notice I tried it with Steam before and it was picking up noise from my headphones, so not sure if that's related (but Steam seems to do this a bit with other people and their hardware as well).

Mines did the samething you would have to bare it, but the mic is still good. Maybe the mic is not fully compatable with the computer.

Make sure that you don't have the black plug in the mic jack, they are reversible. Try the other way and see if that works. If that doesn't you need to go to control panel and check the setting there. There should be an icon on the bottom right of the task bar that will bring those settings up.

Thanks to your suggestion I plugged a Logitech camera/microphone into one of the usb ports (the one on the left side) and sound tested ok as did camera. That should rule out some parts of the machine (like the sound card I think). Anyone able to do this as well?

Try resetting the settings to default. Then do a channel search using the instruction manual on the receiver. The receives auto find channels and sync up with the wireless packs... Make sure the volume on the receiver is turned up. 2 knobs, one on each side. Make sure the gain is turned up on the wireless pack. Small yellow screw by the battery compartment.. if turned to 0 or - it will not produce sound. If this does not work, then your receiver has a tech problem..at least one mic should work. All 4 worked for me outta the box and I added a hand held mic..it works too..could be that receiver if these suggestions dont fix it. Try resetting the settings to default.

Just ran into this message thread, looking to update my wireless mic setup for my Zi8, that I've had since Christmas. Rick-whoever you talked to at Kodak must not be very well-knowledged. I have been using a wireless mic that I've had for nearly 30 years. I'm looking to find one with updated technology, hoping the quality will be a bit better. Hope I can, but if I can't, I know I have one that does work with it. It's an old RCA, but its range is only about 15-18 feet and I have to get the mic close to my mouth or decent sound pickup.

Are you running Windows 7? I ran into some problems trying to get the microphone to work on Windows 7 but would be happy to show you how to do it if needed

There's a setting in the software when you open the WebCam to allow you to use your mic instead of the installed mic with WebCam. The built in mic does work ok but your mic may be stronger.

I just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

Check the battery, and then check the audio settings on the camera. I have the same camera and the mic works great.

the volume controls will not work through it. I'm not sure about the mic. But I doubt it will.

Wish I could help, my son used the mic for sing party and just dance. We haven't had any set up issues. Are u sure u can use it for that disc/ game ?

Can't say this has happened to me. Make sure you have the latest software. Download it from their website. Best of luck. My BYP works great!!!! Best mic I ever bought.

Ok, it is presumed that your mic is set up properly! If you need to reset the unit constantly, return the equipment. It seems you got a "lemon."
