Echoing microphone
« on: April 19, 2009, 09:01:55 PM »
My mic sounds garbled in AH. When using a teamspeak server, someone pointed out that it was echoing like I was in a concrete room. I think this 'echo' effect may be what is causing me to sound garbled.


What can I do?

I used to have really crappy vox problems...  I started experimenting with adjusting the in game sounds.  I discovered that if I turned my Engine sound down to about 30% or so, my vox got better...

Then I pulled an old Sound card that I had from a different computer into the machine and disabled the onboard sound that I had been using.

Much better now...

Try running dxdiag.exe and setting sound acceleration to 75%

Are you using the soundcard or a USB microphone?

In windows, turn off the mic in the sound mixer, so you don't hear yourself when you speak. Especially if you are not using a headset.

Turn you "Effects Settings" in the game under voice all they way to the left. That should help.

If your mike button is activating the AH vox and the teamspeak vox together, the delay to the two separate servers will give you a substantial echo. Try changing the AH vox to an unused button.

I had the same issue, and it turned out to be motherboard sound.  This is usually the culprit with this particular issue.  Even very good mobos have very bad sound.  If that's what you're using, I'd recommend getting a hold of a cheapie Creative Labs Audigy SE card and disabling mobo sound.  Also, do not "boost" the sound (if there is such a checkbox in your sound properties).
