Have you tested it with the Windows sound recording and playback control panel thingy? Does it sound good there but not in the game?
I just tested it with the windows sound recorder. Playback sounded like it was potentially crystal clear, but very
very quiet with a constant static sound laid ontop.
I would suspect the mic first. Do you have another one to test with?
Is it connected to the sound card, or is it USB based?
If it is connected to the sound card, are you sure you got it plugged into the correct port?
Did you check in the game Options->Preferences->Game Sounds panel and make sure the correct device, for the microphone is selected?
I do not have another mic. I'm not hardware savvy, but I would be led to believe that it is connected to the sound
-card. It is plugged in (pink plug) to my front panel (pink plugin). It was worked perfectly before. I would like to
note that in-game vox and windows recording still work. I'll check my game sounds panel.
After brainstorming, I think I might have a possible solution dealing with Realtek HD Audio Manager.
*After doing a hefty amount of testing, I found that Realtek might be the source of my problem. I adjusted the
recording volume at different levels, and found that when I set it to max (100%) the amount of static is also
at the maximum amount, however my voice still comes in much quieter than desired. When I enable the "noise
suppression" option, the static is near-eliminated, however there is a weird noise that is more background oriented.
Odd. I wonder if removing the realtek audio manager from my system processes would affect voice in-game. The
only downside I see in that, realtek has audio equalizer options that makes, well, audio much better sounding for
my ears. Will give it a shot.
