Somehow microphone registration gets all screwy because of that. In my case, I have my Rock Band microphone plugged into the Xbox 360 at all times. The fix is to unplug the USB microphone when you&#8217;re playing Lips. Apparently this will fix both the 2nd microphone lighting issues as well as the static noise, video and audio out of sync issues, as well as the freezing issues.<\/p>\n<p>Other good news is that Harmonix (creator of Rock Band) is going to patch up Rock Band so it can use the wireless microphones!
