I wanted too use K053 to record via zoom. However, when I record, I can hear myself at all. It appears that the only way I can record is to wear a headset? If that is true, then I must return this device. Not doin videos with me wearing a head set
Just bought the KO53. Want to record my videos on ZOOM. However, I can’t hear myself unless I use a headset! Is that the only way? I am on MAC OS
@fifine microphone- when I right-click the volume control in the task tray, I do not have the option you described- I did, however, find the setting, but I am having noticeable latency in the monitoring. Is this expected, or is this indicating a malfunction?
Hi @Adam,
If you are using the Windows 10, plz right click the speaker icon on the right corner of the computer, select Recording device, right click USB PnP Audio device, select properties, Listening, check “Listen to this device”.
I am trying to use a set of earbuds for monitoring during zoom calls using the headphone jack in the K053. The earbuds do not have an inline mic- just earbuds. I can hear all other audio, but no monitoring. I am connected to a windows 10 computer.
