i have the same crashes too! i think it would be nice if someone can take care about the karaoke functions! there are some issues to be fixed:
- crash after a few seconds
- mic delay
- mic volume to low
it seems that a lot of people use the karaoke option! but at the moment, it can't be used.

is there a dev who has a headset instead of a mic? i think you can reproduce the same issues with a headset.
if no, it will be no problem for me to spend some $. are there any other people who would do the same? e.g. 10 people and each spend 10$, that should not be a problem...
which dev will help?

i have been reading some posts on various forums, which seem to point towards a problem with the madcatz microphone (not all of them however and i am not sure what percentage) working with xbmc karaoke.
i have one of these mics (came with xbox music mixer) and i am unable to get it working with either of my xboxs (a v1.0 and a v1.5) using the latest xbmc build (24/05/05) . therefore i suspect there is something "special" about my mic and the other mic's people have reported problems with.
before anyone thinks that the microphone is broken - its not, because it still works with xbox music mixer.
maybe some of the madcatz modules behave differently and require a different driver for interfaceing with.
mine has a product number of #4501-1 and is copyrighted 2003.
if anyone else is having a similar problem, please reply.

to sum everything up in one post so newcomers to this topic wont have to read 20 pages:
as of now karaoke with the use of an xbox mic doesn't work.
the microphone will crash xbmc after a min. or so into a song.
the mic delay is still there but isn't a big problem considering there is a small delay in xbmm as well.
the only way as of now to use the karaoke feature in xbmc without crashing is to use a microphone hooked into your stereo system.
newer cvs builds has no mic output at all.
there have been offers to send the devs a madcatz mic. to fix these issues after a dev requested but dunno if anyone has sent anything or not.
would really be happy to see these bugs worked out and hope it will be really soon.
