Setting up headphones in mic????????????/

[Daskilla]

Hey guys wondering if anyone can help me with my mic.  It works and all but i would like to have the other players voices come in through the headphones.  I know exactly how to have sound come through them, but that would include all sounds icludeing planes.  If its even possible to just allow voices to come through the headset plz let me know.

As far as I know, sound is all or nothing - either all headset or all speakers.

That said, you can go to the in-game options into the voice prefs and set a slider to turn down all game sounds while someone is transmitting vox.  This way, you can enjoy the normal game sounds, but they will be automatically turned down so you can hear someone talking.

From what I understand, Windows can only use one sound device at a time... so basically even if you have two sound devices (onboard sound vs. USB headset), windows will not allow you to divert one type of sound through the speakers, and another through the headset.. even IF the game supported it (which it doesn't).  Now.. non USB headsets (that plug into the headphone jack) use the existing sound card.. it just redirects the sound to the headphones instead of to the speakers, so in that case you still only have one sound device.

USB headsets use their own sound device, so when you plug it in, Windows loads the drivers for the USB and 'disables' the drivers for the onboard sound.

I think the only way to use two sound cards would also require an outside vox program like teamspeak. Windows will probably give you more crashes for your trouble too.
