Know thy headset!
General Info:
*A note on headset passcodes:
* The default passcode is "0000" for new headsets. Refer to your headset's instructions if the passcode is not the default one.
*A note on pairing problems:
* Keeping your PS3 in "standby" (back switch always on) might help cure the problem. Need more feedback to be sure.
* Some headsets have a "pairing mode" that you need to turn on before you can pair it with any device, so check the headset instructions. BE CAREFUL because it's easy to enter "pairing mode" by accident when turning on a mic, and you'll have to re-sync if you do.
* If you use the same headset for your phone and PS3 you may have to re-pair for each use. Some have reported having both a phone and a PS3 paired at the same time with no problems.
* You may have to pair again after charging ANY headset.
*A note on voice chat drops:
* Some users report mics cutting out in game. If the problem is not game related running the setup again can help. Be sure to have the headset instructions handy.
*A note on stereo mics:
* If you have a stereo headset mic (2 speakers) it will only play the voices of the other players. Game sounds and music will still play over your regular speakers.
*A note on PS2 USB mics:
* PS2 USB mics are working with PS3 games.
Game Specific Info:
*Resistance: Fall of Man
* A new patch has changed the voice function. Now press L3 to talk in lobby and in game. If you are in a named squad the mic is still "open", but you must press L3 to talk to people not in your squad.
* There have been many reports of the mics dropping out in-game. Odds are that this is just a typical online game problem, not a hardware issue. If anyone notices anything else about this, please post.
*Call of Duty 3
* There is no voice chat support.
*Blazing Angels
* There is no voice chat support.
*Madden '07 (PS3)
* Voice chat works in-game only. There is no voice chat in the pre/post game lobbies.
* There is a "mute" key built in the controls. L3 will mute your headset. If the screen icon is red then your mute is on and you can't talk. If your icon is green then you're good to go.
*Ridge Racer 7
* Only supports "canned" comments- think macros, or like what was used in Resident Evil: Outbreak
*SOCOM (PS2):
* SOCOM games will not work with your Bluetooth headset. You can still use your USB mic for SOCOM games, as well as PS3 games with voice chat support.
