HALO 2 VISTA.

I use the Xbox 360 wired controller which connects using the default Microsoft drivers, I am also using the headset to plug into the controller. I have 2 problems with this setup and I am wondering if its a setting, or just the game itself. When I plugin the headset ALL of the audio goes through the headset instead of the speakers, and when I talk noone can hear me. Note that my headset works perfectly on my xbox 360 so it couldn't be the headset itself. Another question is to do with the overall sound quality, most of the sound, coming through speakers or headset has a very low quality *noisy almost to say*.

My settings are Anti-Aliasing 4x, Screen Res: 1280x960, Video Quality: High, Audio: 10 and if there is a high quality yes it is on.

What I wanted to do is:
*Get only voice playback and voice recording going through the headset and game audio through the speakers *IF IT IS POSSIBLE*
*Figure out why the audio is sometimes has noise in it *white noise, you know kinda shshshhssh noise*

My speakers work perfectly well for all other games and can play music at a high quality level.

The same thing happened to me. But I think there might be a fix. For default sound devices (output), choose speakers. For input, choose Headset on Xbox 360 Controller or whatever. Never tried it, but it might work. :)

Go to Control Panel > Sound then set your speakers as the default playback device. Then go into Halo 2 and press the guide button > Personal settings > Voice and set Voice Playback Device to Xbox 360 Headset and Voice Recording Device to Xbox 360 Headset.

Hope that helps you ;)
