Title: Vox
Post by: Blammo on February 01, 2004, 01:15:18 PM
I guess this happens to other people, but I have really noticed it recently.  I will be flying along just fine and using VOX to communicate with my squadies and then, all of the sudden, it is just out.  I don't hear chatter and when I request a radio check I get no response (so, I assume that I am not being heard).

Is there anything I can do to limit this problem or eliminate it all together?

The worst part is you can't tell when it is working an when it isn't...it just goes away.

Any suggestions?

System Specs:
Windows XP Pro
Intel Pentium IV 3.0 GHz
1 GB RAM
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Zs
Geforce FX 5900 Ultra

ALT-TAB in and out of the app some times fixes it.  If it doesn't then you have to log out.

Also, you can wait for people and HT to tell you about your wrong drivers/setup/other programs runing on your computer/viruses/sun spots over peru/etc.  

Vox has problems.  Hopefully they will take the time to fix it in AHII

Lower your DirectX Hardware accellerator 1 notch. Fixed all my vox problems.

Just an update:

Seeting it down one notch appears to help, but it seems to be more specifically related to the number of people a) in the arena and b) in the immediate area that are using vox.  There is probbably a point at which the server sort of "forgets" about you or something which causes no vox in and no vox out.

Anyway, I am able to go for much langer periods of time without loosing vox now.  It still will go away it is is busy enough.

I have found also that if you quit from the tower so that you are out at the screen you choose the arena you want and then come back in, vox is usually restored.

This has probably been gone over before, but I figured it was worth sharing.

I believe this not to be the problem, I have set mine at all settings min to max without a fix. I have on almost every occasion it goes out someone else on my squad channel loses vox. We could all be on for hours then 2 or more will be dead all at the same time. This leads me to believe it is not anything to do with my PC or anyone elses. Nor would it be with my ISP. It has to be at a common source...HTC.  On those rare occasions that my vox is out and all my squad members are still up I believe another countryman is out there on range ch without his.  Just my observations.
