Do you have a router?

If so, open port TCP/UDP 6869

Problem with Socom I headset.(Like everybody else) It work great until yesterday when it went deaf on me. I tried using it in single player & it also is deaf, I can give commands because my teamates respond & act but can't hear anything.
I've checked some previous posts & attempted to follow thru with the advice given but I was unsuccessful. I have XP & a Netgear router, I'm able to change the ports to 6869 but there are so many types of servers & versions with those ports i.e, FTP Server, Internet Mail Server, Secure Web Server, Telnet Server, etc. There are like 10 choices but which one???I've already ordered a new USB Logitech headset but I've read in some posts the same problem exists. Can anybody help???

That happened to my headset on Socom 1 as well. You say it isn't working for both online and offline right? That has nothing to do with your router then. Like I said, this is the same thing that happened to my headset, and my only advice to you is to go and buy a new one.

My advice is to jiggle it in your PS2's USB port.

Any time my headset goes deaf while I'm playing, I jiggle, and the problem is gone. It has bad connections to the PS2. The same problem happened with S1, so it's just wear and tear.

Also, if you need to open the port on your router, it's not any of the 'server' ports. Here's a list of what ports the 'server' settings will open:

Telnet: TCP 21
HTTP: TCP 80
SSH: TCP 22

I'm not sure about the others.

What you want to do, is open the port "TCP 6869", not one of the 'server' ports. If it doesn't let you do this, then bypass your router when you're playing PS2 games, or get a new router.

EDIT:

When you open a 'server' port, it opens it only for a specific transmission protocol (HTTP/Telnet/SSH/FTP/httpd/a bunch of other things). If the message doesn't conform to that protocol, it will not let it through.

Your absolute best bet if you had to use one of the server ports would be telnet. You could try SSH and HTTP as well, but those would be less likely to work.
