I would also like a way to have voice come from specific speakers for those with souround sound. This way I dont lose my game sounds whenever some bozo clicks his mic, just the volume on that one speaker (like center, or even rears)

The problems with vox arent so much with the sound itself. For the most part, sound quality is an effect of the microphone being used, and wether or not the player is using headphones. (Speakers and a mic will obviously often cause some game sounds to be transmitted)

SOMETHING the game does causes "mic boost" to be invisibly shut off, for no readily apparent reason. It seems to happen mostly on SB Live cards(What else?)

To fix it, go to the windows recording controls, under microphone, go to advanced, turn mic boost off and then back on.

This is a bug.

Give us the option to mute range freq. so we do not have to listen to some lil general or foul mouthed twit. Vox DOES help the game when in squad ops or an organized mission. Having some lil tard color the air blue spewing out his / her frustration and not being able to squelch it is bogus. I have more to do than just watch the corner of the screen and then try to mute them one at a time especially when the action is hot.

HT, PLEASE give us a range mute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would be cool, so it could be mapped to the headphone of a headset

ok.......

now back to my problem

BenDover · « **Reply #7 on:** September 23, 2002, 04:18:37 PM »

well thats just a work around

and it will mean i have to adjust the volume on my stereo everytime

It's not a setting problem on the receiving end. The real problem is that different people send voice with different volume.

And still, the build in samples ("Base is under attack") are louder that those that are received via radio.

it must be a prob on my end, cos there's only 1 or 2 people i can hear normally, if i could increase the volume, that would fix it, simple as that....................I think anyway

no that doesnt work either. In my squad we have 4 guys with good mics that almost too loud and clear as a bell. Then we got 5 guys with mediocre mics who you can hear only a little. Then we got these other 2 guys that just cheap as hell and wont buy a 25 dollar mic. If you even try to turn the volume up a little so as to hear the 5 guys with mediocre mics, the 4 guys with the good mics wont shut up and youve got a headache in a matter of minutes!!!!!!!!

Somehow as ccvi put it, all input needs to be equalized before sent to the speakers as voice. Then this level should be raised or lowered. Those with crap mics will sound even crappier cause they were boosted and those with good mics will sound even better.

I strongly recommend the new SBLive drivers for Win2k/WinXP. It seems like they fix the mic boost problem.

Not to hijack this thread but what mic do the 4 'good' people use? I'm looking at buying one and would like to know.

Check out the labtec stereo headsets at any comp store. They're something like $20, have decent sound, and good mic quality.

headphones make it a LOT easier to deal with the vast range of volumes of differen t players vox.

A lot of the time though, bad sound cards can allso cause severe distortion, if you use onboard sound instead of a real sound card you may have issues.

Great thanks, I'm looking at a couple labtecs and some plantronics. I'd only get a headset, being hearing impaired I know quite a bit about distortion
