Xbox 360 Trash Talk

A: Unfortunately Microsoft has changed the way newer Xbox 360 wireless controllers function. The new wireless controllers do not provide enough power to allow devices like the Trash Talk to function properly.

Wired Xbox 360 controllers and older Wireless Xbox 360 controllers should continue to function fine with the Trash Talk device.

Answer:

The quality of audio played back through your Trash Talk will depend on the audio quality of your original file. Please test the source file on your PC to ensure it sounds normal.

Also, try copying the sound file to the Trash Talk again, ensuring that all connections to the PC are secure. If you still encounter the problem, copy the file to a different bank. If the distortion occurs on multiple banks, it may be a problem with the encoding of your original audio file.

Answer:

Various "soundboards" containing hundreds, if not thousands, of free audio clips from various sources can be found online; simply by using your favorite search engine.

Popular ways to find these audio clips include searching for the title or genre of the sound clip you're looking for along with the term "soundboard".

Answer:

Unfortunately the Trash Talk device drivers are designed for use with Windows XP Home (32-bit) and Windows XP Pro (32-bit).

1. Right Click the Trash Talk .exe files.
2. Choose Properties.
3. Choose "Compatibility" tab.

7. Click "Apply"
8. Click "OK"
