Questions about using a headphone

First, the model number of the thing is probably going to help.
Second, you probably need to post up a CoH Helper... or in this case, I might be inclined more to a DirectX Diag (DXDiag) log, so we can see what you got in the system.
Thirdly, it may not show anything, but a Hijack This log is always a good idea nonetheless.
You might ask why, here it is: We can't see what's in your system, and these are the tools that let us peek in there to hopefully see what's going on. There's a "before you post" sticky (Read this, below) that can help you with the logs.
Pending those things, I'm gonna guess one of two things is going on:
1) The wireless headsets are one of two sound systems, the other being the onboard one that your computer had previously, and Co* sometimes gets confused about which to use. Maybe disable the other that you don't want using. A "Single Mindedness" idea, if you will, is always a good idea when it comes to Co*.
2) There's some sort of software being run to use those wireless things, or something else, that's interfering with Co*. Hence the logs.
Standing by, hope that helps a little in the meantime!

Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012
Thank you. I would do that if I knew how. I am not very technically oriented. I will ask a friend to help me with it.
I appreciate the advice regardless.

There's actually info in the "Before you post..." sticky in these forums. They describe what to do pretty well.
Edit:
here. Links to the last informational post, which describes (and links to) the requested programs.
And while Memphis said it... that's what the:
"(Read this, below)"
was for... and I apologize. I meant:
"('Read This!', below)"
Which is supposed to mean my lil link at the bottom of my post. I'll do better next time, honest. My sincere bad, y'all.
/not real sure what the other links do... so don't be clickin' them.

I have just bought a new Logitech wireless headphone. It works well while in the Windows XP environment. However, when I start CoH, it is a different story.
I sometimes get a couple secoonds of sound, but usually just a hum. I have tried turning on and off all 4 of the sound control buttons under "Options". I have fiddled with the sound control under Windows XP.
Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.
