When used as a PC gaming headset, the P11 functions as two independent
headsets in one package:
Amplified Stereo Headphones:
The green 3.5mm plug is used for sending the
stereo game signal from the PC sound card to the P11 headphone amplifier so
you can hear game sounds, music and other sounds from your PC. The overall
volume level is set by the Game volume control on the P11 amplifier.
USB Stereo Headset:
The USB connection is used for mic and chat signals and
appears as
“Turtle Beach P11”
in Windows operating systems. This lets you
assign the P11 mic and chat in your game software as a USB audio device.
You can set the microphone and chat levels independently with the Windows
mixer software, as described below. After configuring these volume settings,
you can set the chat level with the Chat volume control on the P11 amplifier.
Note that each time you disconnect the P11 from the USB port, the volume
settings described below may revert back to their default settings. As such, you
might have to go back and set them again each time you remove and insert
the P11 USB connector.
