VOX, Disco, and you

[Slate]

  Last night every time I hit F-12 (range vox) I was discoed.  Several others responded and said they had similar problems. Is there a fix yet? Have an older dell dual core processor but this is the only problem with the new patch I've had.

Quax is having this problem also. Every time he speaks on vox channel he discos

I guess their work on an instant boot for the high pitched squeaker still needs a little more tweaking.

Still have the Problem after latest update. I hit either vox "T" or F-12 (Range) automatic shut down of program. Offline same problem. Switched range from F-12 to another button same result. Tested sound on computer no problem.

My PC is old as your but it has a damned keyboard!
Each function key does something - open browser, quit PC, make a coffee, etc.
When i play AH in such way and I press a function key then something crazy can happen - one time, in the middle of a
furball It opened browser. Bad thing!
To avoid this, I deselect this behaviour pushing a key on the keyboard before to play AH.

Did you check the devices the game is using for VOX in the Options->Preferences->Game Sounds panel?  Even if the correct one is selected, try re-selecting it.

  I'll try it tonight skuzzy and let you know. I was checking all the New Vox settings but didn't change any yet.
 I even reinstalled game but same result. On work PC game runs fine. (2003 Dell) Must be setting on my home PC.

  Well I think I figured out my vox problem. The sound system on my pc has a problem. Seems that a virus corrupted a sound file. My mic won't work on my pc and my volume controls disappeared when my security program quarantined it. Then like a dummy I deleted file and tried a system restore and now my pc is unusable with a blue screen unless I operate in safe mode.
  Going to be a long weekend sorting this out.  

  Update:  Fixed! Reinstalled windows service pack 3 and it fixed my drivers. Set and tested mic in sound controls, OK
              Now to test the mic in AH..........................I t works!
  Thanks Skuzzy for the clue, the device the game was trying to use was not correct and now I see my audio device in the box.

      I'm on the air again. Whew!

It sounds like Slate and I have a similar computer.
I can get the logitech headset to work in Windows but not in AH. When I press T, there is no tunable beep but I can hear the sound effects lower. The rest of the time , 50%, AH locks up. It also locks up if I push F12.
I've read & reread everything I can about setting up a mic nad gone through the process over and over again but nothing works. I'm using XP Pro on a Dell 400 w/ 1G ram.

Update
Now I can get the mic to work in the TA. I do a radio check by using the dot command .radio 5 (game name) and it works. I get the beep and can hear myself.
I go to an arena and whether I use T or F12 I get an instant freeze.

I emailed Skuzzy, he said, "If it works in one arena, but not another, then it is usually due to ports being blocked by a firewall or anti-xxx program, or it is due to resource starvation."

I turn off my firewall when I go online and I've deleted the McAfee from my system.
That only leaves me with "resource starvation".

Does that mean I need more ram?

Also I got a system message that said to switch from UPD to TCP.
I checked and I think I got that done but I'm not sure. I'm not very computer literate.

Are you using a router? If so which one? Have you weeded out the unneeded processes and services? Which OS are you using?

[Lab Rat 3947]

My OS is XP Pro on a Dell XP 400 w/ I gig RAM. As whether or not I'm using a router I don't know. A computer is a lot like a car to me. I can drive the car but no practically nothing about troubleshooting or tuning them up.
