Better Audio Bitrate on In-Game Communications

[kvuo75]

It's just a wish for better audio quality ... no sarcasm, have you tried a 3rd party program and compared to in-game vox?

yeah, they use more bandwidth and cpu.

and remember this:

Minimum Requirements
CPU/Processor: 1.8 Ghz
OS: Win 2K/XP/Vista/Wn7
Memory: 512 MB
Video Card: DirectX 9.0  128MB
Internet Connection: A 28.8 modem or faster Internet connection
Sound Card: DirectX compatible sound card
Input Devices: Joystick or mouse.
Optional:Speakers and microphone are optional

Yeah that's the exact specs of the computer I had in 2002, or is this just another instance of documentation not being updated?

i'm pretty sure that's the actual current minimums, because I do remember someone bringing it up before

the game is meant to run on some pretty low end equipment, so people can get a taste... the only time i ever bought a piece of hardware to specifically play a mmo flight sim was when confirmed kill came out (beta version of warbirds).. i had to get a 486dx processor for something like $100 because confirmed kill required a functioning FPU. (486sx's had disabled fpu's!!!)

Most people also sound different when they're on the phone too.

Most sound great and I can even hear how large a room they are speaking from.

More bit depth and sampling rate will have a negative effect on your latency and gameplay.

Some of the third party voice communications do little more than cause warps when you key up.

Does anyone know what the current 'bitrate' for audio on in-game vox is?
