PC Setup The Ear Force X12 Arctic Edition is compatible with Windows PCs that have separate Green (Audio) and Pink (Microphone) headset connections. The USB is required for power only.
Troubleshooting My mic doesn’t work (other players can’t hear me). - Connect the USB plug from the X12 to a USB port on your console. - Make sure the X12 amp box LED is lit *green*. If it’s lit red, set the Mute switch to “On” to make the LED green. - Put on the headset and speak into the mic. - You should hear your own voice in the headset. If not, then please contact tech support. I don’t hear game audio in either/both speakers.
