Author Topic: No vox, would like running for Nieman (Read 1028 times)

TheCollector · « **on:** January 24, 2003, 10:41:01 AM »

Not sure what to say:

1. Vox no work. Would really like to get it working for scenario.

2. No receive, I might be sending, not sure.

3. My windows recorder works outside of AH just fine.

4. My vox settings are turned on in AH. Tried with wave-in turned on and off. Volume levels are max.

5. All AH sounds work normally otherwise.

6. I have a Soundblaster Live Platinum (AMD 1.2 gz, 512 mb ram, ATI Radeon 9000 video, CH Pro joystick).

7. Please don't say hardware, see points 3 and 5 above

Any help appreciated (except point 7 ),

what o/s? if you have voice enabled, you should hear people at least on area channel. your mic may be muted; or plugged into wrong jack; make sure the voice slider in game is all the way up.

Thank you for the reply.

Using XP Pro.

Like I said, windows sound recorder works, so I feel confident it's not a mixer setting. My microphone is recording, and I can play it back and listen, etc.

Also, all sound levels in AH are maxed both in Voice settings and Sound. Exception is Engine setting is at 80% (drone gets to be a bit much at times

As a further bit: If I tune to my callsign on vox channel, and press [T] to talk, it does highlight the channel in the vox-box, and I see me as the only one tuned to that channel, but I don't hear anything back.

Possible a corrupted file? Did you try fresh install of AH? Save Settings/Terrains/Films/Sights folders somewhere and download the full install program. Uninstall and do fresh install. Can't hurt.

Check the Wave-In option in the Voice setup in AH and see if that helps.

BTW,..the voice recorder is Windows, once DirectX is up and running we are at the mercy of the sound card and DirectX drivers, which are different pieces of software from Windows.

Again, thank you for the replies.

I have run the directx diagnostics and received no errors, warnings, whatever.

As I said, I tried both wave in on and off.

Sadly, It looks like un-install/re-install is the only thing I haven't tried... I wil do that tonight.

Try turning down sound acceleration in DX a notch

Second if your the only one tuned to channel you will not hear yourself. You need to have someone else to talk back and forth.

TheCollector · « **Reply #7 on:** January 26, 2003, 10:28:10 PM »

Re-installed from scratch (after uninstall, scrubbing registry, etc.)

Played with wave-in/out

Turned dx sound accel down a notch.

Nothing. No receive, no send (at least nobody replied to my tests...)

So is it something *really* dumb, like I'm supposed to tune channel 5 to a special (non-default) channel to hear chatter?

This whole thing is really weird since if I play from work, I hear constant chatter. At home, zip.

Thanks in advance,
The Collector

hmmm...do you get the beep when you hit talk? do you have both the voice options set up in key mapping -- area channel talk and channel talk?

if you don't have the area key mapped, no one will hear you.

I have mine mapped to the * key on the key pad, channel i have set to f12 -- if you use the t key and type the letter t it keys the mic.

also, what channel are you using for radio 5?

Hi. I also have this same problem except I don't have vox in any areana. I can not hear anyone and no one can hear me. There is no beep when I push the vox bottons. Skuzzy and I believe this is because of our firewall settings. You see, as soon as I enter the areana, I get switched to TCP. I can play the game just fine and can hear all sounds, but no voices. My keymapping is correct and everything is checked. I am at a school which has a strict firewall because they are afraid of viruses. This is what Skuzzy wrote to me a couple days ago:

"Sounds like you are behind a strict NAT implementation which is set to not allow asynchronous connections through. Voice will not work if it is set that way.

The switch from UDP to TCP indicates they are not doing full translation in the NAT (i.e. allowing a table to be built which allows the router to act as a proxy)."

So are you behind a firewall like me? If so... then maybe, just maybe this could apply to you. I am still a beginner at networking so good luck with this hehe. -DropW

ROFL .. I just noticed the date on this thread was Jan. 2003 and not 2004... nevermind LOL. -DropW

if you have firewall running turn it off or make sure vox port is being aloud to enter and exit:)

DropW · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2004, 04:56:30 PM »

Wish I had control over the firewall.. then I would turn it off HEHE. But alas, the school runs it and I am not allowed to touch. Thank you for the advice though ;). -DropW

Is there a certain IP adress for VOX? or some certain port number that I can get my network administrator to check? Thank you for your time. -DropW
