    How do I make XBL chat come through the speakers rather than the mic?

    I've just invested in a pair of Sharkoon X-TATIC 5.1 headphones Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK to use with my 360. Picked them up this morning and after a little playing about got them setup nicely and I'm very impressed with the sound, COD4 is even better now .

    I'm having a problem using the mic though. People can hear me fine but I can't hear anyone as the sound is trying to go through the original mic unit which I'm not using. In the instructions it says to go into menu, click on "personal Settings" -> "Voice" -> "Voice Output" and activate the "Play Through Speakers" option. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere, does anyone know where and how to set this or are using these headphones and can help.

    Cheers.

    where your going wrong is your going into the settings blade, heres what you do:

    on the dashboard press the guide (or big X button) on ur controller and go into personal settings from the menu that appears from the left of your screen
    then go into voice which is the second one down and at the bottom there will be three options for voice output, play thru headset play thru speakers or play thru both. easy peasy
