    PS3 Mics

    Now I haven't had a pleasant time with using mics on the PS3. For some reason Sony stopped believing in mute buttons and the quality Logitech mic I tried to use for the PS3 has the volume too low.

    Is there any way to fix the volume so that I can hear people better? That has been one of my outstanding issues with using a mic on the PS3 thus far.

    Set your mic level to 3 and you'll hear much better.


    I don't know what you mean with the mute buttons. My old PS2 mic had one and pretty much every recent Sony mic (BT, USB or Stereo) has a mute button.

    Hope this helps.

      I've tried lowering my mic volume but it's greeted out and I can't figure how to fix it.

      A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. ― Alexis de Tocqueville

        I don't really have any issues with my newest BT mic it's the PS3 official 7.1 virtual surround. It's nice and I can control how high or low I want the voice over the game audio.

        Mui sounds like you have a crappy mic. I've got a beatdown logitec Broc gave me and that still works pretty well.

          Hmmmm. Isn't the speaker volume(ie the stuff you hear) controlled by the headset itself? I know your input(ie the stuff you say) volume is adjusted with the technique Boss posted.

          @Jim A piece of scotch tape might work? (seriously, not poking fun)

            The mic is actually really good Rage. I brought it recently for a fair price. It works very well on the PC with good volume levels.

            BOSS, My brother had a crappy PS3 mic that had no button to mute so I wound up buying one for myself that had a mute button and that was compatible with a PC. I'll try what you posted.

              Yes the headset controlled the volume itself.
