Hi,
When connected to my music teacher through FarPlay, I use a HyperX Cloud III headset with a removable microphone. Today the headphone light indicated that I my headset was one and connected to the session. But no the monitor indicated “no sound” while headset was connected to my computer. Only when I disconnected my headset from my computer, my teacher could hear me through the computer and I could htook off the headset she could hear me through my. that is how we progressed.
My teacher suggested perhaps my headset is not compatible with FarPlay. Is this possible?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi Dale,

Usually, FarPlay works out-of-the-box with a headset plugged into a computer. On rare occasion, one setting needs to be changed to get a headset to work with a Windows PC. The fix is easy:

• Open FarPlay, but before going into a session, go to the Preferences > General Options tab.
• Check that you’ve selected the desired headset in the Microphone: and Headphones: pull-down menus.
• Set the Audio Buffer Size to 480 (10 ms). Press OK.

The “Audio Buffer Size” pull-down menu lists smaller buffer sizes that provide lower latencies on audio devices that support them, but not all devices do on Windows. Some need 480.

Thank you,
David Liao
