Ur talking about the PS 7.1 Headset or the 1 ear Bluetooth thing?
Had no problem with the 7.1 Headset so far but I think I try that again...

Is the 7.1 headset actually worth it?
If I were to buy it here, it would cost me almost $200. That's almost insane.

I'm using the Official Sony headset with the Virtual Surround turned on. Most of my issues pertain to the Left Stick and R1. Lots of sporadic lag and the inputs mapped to those specific buttons seems be constantly cutting out. So if I'm moving or charging a forge gun the gun will never fully charge or my movement is extremely "choppy" (to the point of not really moving at all). I went as far as narrowing the problem down to Dust but didn't think to try turning it off the headset or modify the sound settings. Something to try next log in.

yes, please try to just leave those headsets off and let us know how the game is for you. my main issues when using this headset are very similar to yours. walking is choppy or sometimes i call it stutter stepping. then i cannot hack, it constantly resets. i cannot aim down sights, constantly going in and out of "scope" mode. i cannot sprint, it constantly stops me and i'm constantly having to click L3 to start sprint again. overall, just everything is choppy/stuttery/resetty(sp?)

The more details you have on this issue the better, so keep it coming guys.

These are exactly the issues I've noticed, usually not too bad, but seemed to be worse this past weekend.

Will test with headset offf and report back.

I am also having problems with the headset with my new playstation. I resently traded in my old system, like Gen 1 or 2 i bought it one year after playstation 3 came out so i had the big fat shiny kind. The headset worked fantastic for that older system it would show in game when the mic was on and when i hit mute it would show onscreen. When i bought the newest system that mic will take for ever to connect when the game starts and i get no notifications about mute and the stuff. So maby it has something to do with the hardware?

EDIT - UPDATE. 7/26/12. Spent the night playing with surround sound turned off. Turned off only via headset, did not change any PS3 settings. Things seemed smoother, no choppines at all. Scope zoom worked reliably. Sprint worked reliably.

I've been using the Official Sony headset with the camo on lately.I'm not getting any lagg on my end :/

this sucks... why does this only happen with some people's official stereo headset and not others? mine used to work without issue. now anytime i turn it on i start having issues. ugh. i was really hoping everyone with this mic had this issue so it would be easier to resolve. idk what to do. i've yet to try anything to make it work though.

I'm also using the official Sony 7.1 headset.

No problems, except that I notice that if the headset isn't on before I launch Dust, it doesn't seem to work.

Quick question I didn't see for those who ARE having lag problems with the headset:

Is your PS3 using a Wired or Wireless internet connection?

(the Sony 7.1 headset uses radio frequencies to connect to between the headset and the USB dongle, so that might be thrashing wireless signals while its running)

I am also using the Sony 7.1 I'm not experiencing the lag and can hear sounds and voice comms great. I am not however, able to talk. I've tried turning the surround on/off and the mic mute on/off without any changes. I've tried turning the Headset Extension on/off in the PS3 settings as well as monkeying around with the audio settings. I have noticed that it will not let me change the setting away from "3" in the accessory menu. The echo cancelation is also working in the PS3 screen but again.. my comrades cannot hear me in game.

Just ordered the PS3 7.1 headset. I'll test it in a few days.

I have that same.
In war room you can see in team/squad chat that you have "speak bubble" --> headset with mic. When others speak you can see that green color in their bubble but your own keeps blank/muted.

Annoying when people speak to you ( see that you have coms) but you are unable to reply :/

thank you




those of you having this issue, do you have your in game voice chat on? its in the Dust Options

I only have lag when I am using wireless, you can also see the issue of the wireless devices interfering when doing just about anything on Dust. I think the newest updates to the sony headset have actually made things worse but it's hard to tell.

My limited edition COD MW3 7.1 bluetooth head set blew up when I shot my forge cannon. Now what?

I'm using the Sony 7.1 headset but can't atribute the rare lag I've experienced to just the headset.
(PS3 Slim 160GB, HDMI 1m, wireless internet)

Got it working :

(...)so --> in middle of game I unpluged Hdmi cable and reattached to bigger tv with short (60-80cm) hdmi cable
--> NO stutter or lag with headset on!!

So you might want to try changing and recheking your HDMI cable lenght and that its connected propely!

Good battles to you all!

yes, i do believe that being wireless itself is not desirable in dust.



to be honest, i dont see how this would be the problem since when the headset is off it goes away and my HDMI has zero issues. its only when the headset is on that it has this stutter lag. the headset doesn't even function in any way with the HDMI either... they're just not related

in the case of the video its your connection not the head set i've the sony official wirless head set and i havent any problems

Then explain why when those of us with this issue cease having problems when we turn off the headsets? Discounting this as a connection issue makes no sense...at least to me.

For instance, in DCUO the Mic interferes wit the ROUTER and makes an annoying clicking sound that other people hear but you don't. (this does not happen to me but it does for others)

I found that unplugging the dongle mid match, and plugging it back in, seems to help a ton. I haven't been stuttering for about 10-15 minutes now.

crap players looking to blame their inability on any variable they can think of. its a beta, every1 is lagging(yes i do have the playstation wireless stereo headset)

even after Precursor, whenever i use my 7.1 headset it causes a constant stutter type lag. i still cannot Aim Down Sights, it overall makes the game still as choppy laggy as it was before this patch.

I'm using the official Sony 7.1 surround sound headset found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16879261316&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA

Ill do some further testing tonight, but I turned off my PS bluetooth headset and went wired since I ran out of juice. The lag went away and the gameplay was amazing...


BUT... The map I was on had 0 environmentals going... no fog, no altered sky etc and was smooth.


I plan on using my wired USB headset tonight on the different maps and see if the lag goes away. If so, I know its the bluetooth that is causing big lag issues.

This is the same headset I have and I've also been having lag issues. Except I've also had the same problem with it in Battlefield 3 as well. So it isn't just Dust.

The dongle is connected to a USB hub on my coffee table and it sits about 4 feet away from the PS3. My internet equipment is about 5 or 6 feet away from the dongle so I don't think it would be causing any interference but I'm no expert.

It's weird though because sometimes there's absolutely no lag at all then the next time I play it starts lagging again. I don't get it.

you did the reset before pulling the dongle though correct? its possible a reset and pulling the dongle helped. i would always pull mine and didnt see difference until i reset it

Nope, just unplug it and plug it back in, the reset didn't make any noticeable difference for me. It sounds like this issue has more than one cause/effect, strange.

how could a specific game (i.e. software) cause a hardware issue/interference? not calling you out just wondering

It is not the specific Software. This is just the arena under which I have experienced the issues.

Since I have been playing DUST with my charge cable plugged into my controller I have not had a single issue of this kind.

Hackign running, shooting, they all work 100% of the time. If I unplug the the controller to charge the mic the issues comes up instantly. So I use my lap top to charge the mic and keep the cable in the controller.

From what I understand, is the controller, keyboard, and mics all work on the blue tooth frequency and are itnerfering with each other wirelessly. Although, the issue still happens if I plug in the mic and not the controller, but unsure why (assuming the usb stick plugged into the PS3 has something to do with it).

... (assuming the usb stick plugged into the PS3 has something to do with it).

The PS3 Stereo Headset isn't bluetooth, which is why it requires that USB dongle. I'm not sure what it's signal type is, but it's definitely not bluetooth.

yea, but you did reset it. its possible it did help, which is all i was asking. you may not have noticed immediately but after pulling the dongle it helped.

and yes, there seems to me something up with these headsets, is it the headset or Dust or what? some people have issues and others do not... i wish everyone had the issue so it would be easier to fix.

Is this actually a head set problem or just the servers this is running on?

yes, please try to just leave those headsets off and let us know how the game is for you. my main issues when using this headset are very similar to yours. walking is choppy or sometimes i call it stutter stepping. then i cannot hack, it constantly resets. i cannot aim down sights, constantly going in and out of "scope" mode. i cannot sprint, it constantly stops me and i'm constantly having to click L3 to start sprint again. overall, just everything is choppy/stuttery/resetty(sp?)

any more information from you guys will help. i still do not use my Sony Stereo Headset with Virtual Surround Sound. and you can see how long this thread has been open. Devs state they're working on this but they're not. the headset still causes unplayable lag. try to hack, i bet you can't. try to sprint, i bet you can't (unless you keep pressing the sprint button), try to ADS, i bet you can't (it'll flicker in and out).

i'm going to report this so we can get a Dev in here again and see what they have to update us with.

I report no problems with the Sony Pulse.
