Using Windows Vista/Windows 7
Upon installation, right-click on the Volume icon in your system tray and open the Audio Devices (for
Vista) or Playback Devices (for Win 7) sub- menu.
Under the Playback Tab, set your soundcard or onboard audio solution as the default playback device
by right-clicking on the icon and selecting ‘Use this as my Default Playback Device’ in the pop-up menu
If there is a green checkmark next to the currently selected default device, you will not be able to select
it, since it is already selected.
Important: Windows Vista will set the SKULLCANDY GMX Stereo Transmitter as the default playback
device when the PLYR 2 is first installed, which will combine voice and game sound at your PC. Follow
the above instructions to reset your default playback device to a soundcard or onboard audio output.
Alternatively, you may leave the default playback device set to the SKULLCANDY GMX Stereo
Transmitter if you DON’T want to connect an extra audio cable and DON’T want to use the mixing
feature of the MixAmp™. A single USB cable is all you’ll need for this type of configuration. Simply mix
game and voice volumes using the levels in the software for your audio and voice programs.
Next, click on the Recording Tab and confirm that the SKULLCANDY GMX Stereo Transmitter is set as the
default device (should display a green check mark) -- this should be automatic upon installation. If not,
right click on the microphone icon that is associated with the SKULLCANDY GMX Stereo Transmitter and
select ‘Set as Default Device’ in the pop-up menu. You can also set your microphone recording level
through this menu. Be sure to click ‘Apply’ to change the settings before you exit.
The SKULLCANDY PLYR 2 will also work with many other operating systems including Mac OSX and
Unix/Linux variants.
