Where can I download a driver for my plantronics dsp 500 headset for Vista?

Hi, Please download your driver here : http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=417514

http://insigniaproducts.com/products/computers/D400.html try this

the problem is win xp
as it is so far out of date and unsupported by Microsoft , there are no drivers available from win xp
If you cannot find the drivers on the manufacturers web site for the units you may have to up grade to win 10

That is an old headset! Not compatible with Windows XP. See datasheet below https://www.plantronics.com/content/dam/plantronics/documents-and-guides/en/product-sheets/dsp-family-ps.pdf

Hi,

Yes they do have.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using 'Fixya'.

Yes you would need a driver for your Platronics headset if you intend to connect it to your PC

Could you please describe the model of your plantronic headset so that i can get the required drivers for you.

Thanks.

If you are using windows XP -- as unreal as it sounds just plug the device in and allow the Plut and Play installer to do it's thing -- it will appear as a device without a driver (in the device management list) but it will generally work. I have tried it on an HP machine and the control panel for sound and audio devices voice tab (as well as the audio tab) needs to be set to the plantronics device, too -- if you use the sound icon in the system tray the device seems to reset periodically to the one in the sound and audio control panel (just learned yesterday). The headset control on the wire -- the mute button (red illuminated button) has ceased to work for some time (possibly around the Service Pack 2 update) but the volume control does seem to work.

I have a dsp-400 and have had the same issue intermittently on a laptop. Recently on an HP desktop computer I found setting the device in the Sounds and Audio Device Control panel Voice Tab (and possibly Audio Tab) to reduce the issues with the device ceasing to work. Setting the device from the Sound Icon in the System tray recently only a very temporary fix where the settings reverted to the Sounds and Audio Device Control panel settings in minutes. This is at best an I hope it helps solution as I do not know your specific hardware and software configuration we cannot test a solution.

I too had this problem. I fixed it by removing a Audio driver from K-lite codec pack. I just uninstalled the whole pack from add remove programs and the headphones work fine now.
