In Reply to: headphone recommendations? - ouch!
The kind with the small, hard ends that fit into your ear, not the big, round, padded ends with the foam on them. They're under $20. They don't hurt at all, and I find the sound quality to be fine--but I've not had a lot of experience with other, higher quality earplugs.

You plug it into an outlet, plug in the phone cord, hook up the
footpedal and the headset and it works.
Plug adapter into serial port, plug foot pedal into adapter,
plug adapter into USB port.
Me too.. Koss DC/10! nm

I use Koss behind the ear
Love them! The sound is great and they don't hurt at all! And reasonably priced!
Anything by Koss.
Most Sonys are excellent too. Also the Sennheiser PX100 is great, comparable somewhat to the Koss Portapro, though the cheaper Koss ones sound great too.
I've heard the Panasonics are cheap and amazing for the price, but haven't tried any of them yet.
Koss
I bought a really nice pair of Koss earbuds at Wal-Mart. I have problems with a lot of headphones hurting my ears too. These ones have those little black things that go in your ears. It comes with three different sized rubber things so you can use the ones that fit your ears. They are really great for blocking out noises too.
Koss DC-10 Headset
 Do any of you use the Koss DC-10 headset? How is it? I need to replace my headset and I want to invest in a good new one. Can you tell me . . . are the ear inserts foam or a plastic-type material? It is difficult to tell by the picture on the web-site I have looked at. I perfer the plastic insert to foam. :-) I think they last much longer and seem to block out the outside noise. Your opinions please! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Just bought some Koss
"SPORTCLIP" stereophones and love them. Got them at Radio Shack for about $25. Each side hooks directly over the ear, no headband on top or behind the head, and you can hardly even tell you have them on as they are very lightweight. They do block outside noise quite well--I have been startled by family members who walked up behind me and then tapped me on the shoulder. They also have a volume control right on the cord, an absolute necessity for me. They have a standard plug but I have a USB adapter and have them plugged into the front of my computer. The cord isn't real long, only 4 feet, which I am still getting used to, but otherwise I love everything about them.
anyone using koss QZ99
headphones? is the headband comfortable? do you like them?
Koss earphones....$5.00 at Wal-Mart

My all time favorite Koss DC/10 under $20 nm

I like an expensive Koss brand I get at
Wal-Mart. They fit around the back of your head, have a big "muff" (don't know what you call them) and don't squeeze so tight you sweat. I think they are are $9.99. They only last me about a year though as one of the wires seems to break and you don't get sound in both ears. I've had several pair of them and really like them other than having to replacement them every year or so.
Thank you for the Koss headphone recommendation sm
I had to get another pair because think my $45 pair is dying and I can't afford another pair...and 2 new keyboards, a new mouse, a space heater, a special MT pedal and some software this month.
I was at Wally's and they had one type of Koss headphones only costing $5 and I bought them. I really like them and they are quiet. They even came with an extra pair of padded foam thingys for the ear part.
So, to all who said try them, I have and many thanks.
I use Koss headphones. They are huge, but effective.

Koss DC-10 and radio shack booster
http://www.officedirectinc.com/DCHS.htm for headset
Radio Shack does not appear to carry theirs anymore. This one on ebay might work similarly.

I use a cheap Koss headphone. They go behind your head and the ear pieces are
big, but don't cover the entire ear. They are stereo with a volume control in-line. They cost $20 or less at Wal-Mart and I have to replace about once a year because a wire breaks and I don't get stereo. Any of bud ones hurt my ears.

Radio Shack...easy, cheap.
speaker plug-in
I have a Dell and I had to invest in a set of Labtec speakers where you can plug the headphones directly into the speaker. I had already tried everything else and I just couldn't get enough volume out any other way. The speakers are available through TranscriptionGear.com, I believe and were quite reasonable.
Usually when you plug in the headset
that automatically send the sound to the headphones instead of the speaker. This could be a DAC with a problem unless someone else knows a secret that I don't. Try a different headset and see if the results are the same.
Do wi-fi places let you plug your lap top into
nm
No, there is no where on my speakers to plug into so I must ..sm
plug the headset directly into the back of the computer..on the floor..hard to access. Then I have to unplug the headset and plug up the speakers when I want to use them so not quite an ideal set-up!
I just plug into my computer, but I use
Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach. It supposedly bypasses your sound card and the dictation is a little bit clearer.
I had one account that provided computer and they sent me speakers,but there was such a hum/static with using the speakers that I couldn't use them. Others with the same company complained about the hum/static too.
Need help with USB plug, no audio
Just tried a new USB headset and now no audio at all. Did what I was asked to do but noticed under control panel it is not acknowleding the USB, saying SoundMax digital and cannot get the USB to show and also under sounds it says no sounds. I have unplugged several tiems, rebooted several times and have no clue as to how to get sound now. TIA.
anyone who needs to plug in an extra USB
You can go to Walgreen's and buy a Hub for $10.00 apx and then plug it into the computer. However, if it doesn't work at first, unplug it and then plug it back in. This only works for the mouse, keyboard and foot pedal, not the printer plug. The printer plug must be plugged in directly into the computer.
I only have 1 plug in on my new computer
I need 2 of those, 1 for the monitor, 1 for the foot pedal. I got splitter tonight and both ends are female, need male and female to handle what I need. I have Infinity foot pedal that I use for voice recognition. Does that make any more sense?
I wear cheapie ear buds from Target, any brand, usually Koss. Comfy, light, good sound, cheap. nm

Sometimes they are setup so no place available to plug in. You
should probably get a new battery.
Can you just plug the headset into the speakers?
x
If you could possibly get new speakers with plug-in...
nm
Do you mean the power plug in adapter? nm

Isn't USB one type of plug for the footpedal?
When I was getting set up, I remember it was important my computer could take the right plug for the footpedal. It wasn't the flat USB (?) type, but the phone plug type, so my computer had to have openings shaped for a phone jack type.
But I'm still not sure if DLS is okay to use or not. Sorry!
I plug my headset directly...
...into the computer in the jack that you plug speakers into.
You might need to bypass the USB hub and plug directly in. sm
I have had this problem with other USB devices. I just switch around until I find one that will work in hub. I don't use EMDAT so don't know if that's the problem. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.
I plug my keyboard into the laptop. nm
.
Same here. I just pack my keyboard and plug it in.
There is no way I could be productive on a standard laptop keyboard.
Here is what I did....my foot pedal has a 15-pin plug. sm
My foot pedal is an IN-BMG. On my old tower, I plugged it into the "joy stick" port on my tower. That is the only place you have to put it if you have a 15-pin pedal. Then, when I got a new computer, it has 2 USB in front and 4 in back, I took my pedal to Radio Shack and got an adapter. The pins on my pedal go into the holes in the adapter, and the other end goes into one of my USB ports on the front of my tower. I have not had a bit of trouble with it since I have been at home and that has been 5 years.
Use mine for work sometimes, but plug in my Goldtouch sm
keyboard and "real" mouse. Obviously, too cumbersome for just "play" at a coffee house or something, but when I travel, I do pack the "good stuff" with me
Unplug shut down plug in and reboot!
:)
I just meant when you plug speakers into the computer
and then the headphones into the speakers. When I plugged headphones directly into the computer the sound was never loud enough for me.
If they have a 3.5mm plug, you can get an adapter to go to 2-prong C-phone.

Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
You can get a combo wireless AND plug in router sm
Linksys makes one and even Walmart has them. I would not go wireless for MT because it is too slow. If you have, say, a wireless laptop that you want to sit on the couch and play with or take to the bedroom or whatever, having a dual router is convenient. You still want to MT on a plug in Ethernet cord.
They are very easy to set up. Linksys has instructions and I have never had a problem. You don't really need to tell you cable company, they aren't going to know or care. Your modem has a set speed and having a router will not increase that speed. Routers make a kind of virtual partition of cable signals. If you have a 112 modem like we can get where I live, you'll find yourself very slowed down. I go up 2 notches and have a 512 speed cable modem and when my kids are here and they all plug into the router to play games over the internet, I can still MT because the signal is pretty fast (well okay until they piggyback another router and hook up 8 computers for a LAN party).
Thanks. I purchased a three way plug last night and it appears to be working and yes for the-sm
poster above it does have a filter on it but the way it plugs in I needed the extra plug so I could still be connected to the computer for my fax to work. Thanks again for the help.
Plug foot pedal into laptop. Or use hot keys.
io
Have wireless network, just plug my foot pedal into my
laptop. Many companies say they are internet-based, but that may mean that you can download and then get off-line to work, or it may mean that you have to be on-line and type live into their system. I have found very few companies these days where you can download and then work off-line.
When you plug in the peripheral, the laptop keyboard still works so you

Ladies!! My c-phone headset plug is not working!
I don't know what happened. One minute it was working fine and the next day whenever I insert the headset I get no sound. The footpedal works fine so it is not the power plug..only the headset and I also cannot get the speakerphone to work or I would use it this way. It's one of the C-phones that have no display...I'm so upset. I purchased it off of E-bay about 2 weeks ago for $150. Any ideas of what I can do? How to get the speakerphone to work. Thank you!
The plug is for the monitor, pedal wouldn't work there. NM
