Question about configuring Vox on a Windows 7 64bit OS.

[JustEric]

I'm just trying to get setup up for the first time in AH.  I just built my computer, loaded it with the Windows 7 64 bit OS.  I've hooked up an inexpensive Logictech headset to my computer.  I am able to hear sounds from the headset and have recorded some speech from it using the "Sound Recorder" from the Windows, All Programs/Accessories menu.  The file was not saved as a .wav file.   I navigated to the sound file and check the properties and it does not show any extension, just the filename.
 
I have gone to the Arena, opened the radio and selected the V channel.  Then I pressed the F12 button and spoke in my microphone.  I did not hear my message repeat.  When I type a message and press return, I see my message twice, one on the way out and one on the way in.
 
I must be doing something wrong.  Since I am able to record from Windows, I think the headset is configured properly.  On the other hand, no sound in the game.

Please help

Thanks,
Eric

type your name in the "V" box and use the "T" key to talk and see if that work for you.

Thanks for the quick response Wizer.  I tried that but all that happens is that I get TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT in the message buffer.

Make sure your chat window is closed before you press T

Hey Scotch, that did the trick.  I noticed that I really need to speak loudly into the mic to send a good message.  What should I adjust in AH to pick up my voice better.  I can't start yelling into the mic when everyone is sleeping    Thanks !!

I think I have the VOX working correctly now!! 

Thanks for all your help
