Title: Does your Vox suck with new patch? Post here!
Post by: USRanger on May 25, 2010, 09:18:00 PM
With the Miles reinstated, all players sound very muffled & tinny to me.  Very bad quality.  Anyone else?  I'd like to see how widespread it is.

I found it tinny and muffled as you say..almost retro...however I found it easier to hear and understand people..even over all other noises...it also seemed even for all players not the usual one soft..next one blasting my eardrums....

So I spose for me it doesn't suck...vehicle noises are much more defined to me and the ricochet sound is sweet

Game sounds are a lot more defined on my system. Of course I have things like enhancers and equilizers on my end so even if it did sound 'tinny' as you say I could reshape it.

Vox from other players seems to 'clip' (get cut off short or long) more and I noticed even mine was clipped a little in a film. HTC will get it all ironed out.

Man, the vox works but it sounds all muffled, like its being compressed way to much. Also, I am getting a large frame rate hit when there are many cons around, to the point its almost unplayable...

Yup, vox now sounds muddy.  All in game sounds are fine though.  Realtec Audio device.

From the patch notes.

Quote
Switched back to the Miles Sound System and fixing bugs associated with that.

I understand that to mean that they've enabled the Miles Sound system again so they can start tracking down the bugs with it and fixing them.  Hopefully now they can track down the problem and get vox working as normal.

 Very few issues here other than losing others on vox once but for the first time ever the .resetv command actually worked and and all was well for the most part.  Did keep hearing a constant clicking when others talked, maybe secret code being transmitted in the background of the transmissions? :uhoh    :)

My vox and sounds were crap.  I restarted my puter and did some work on the mixing in windows, and everything sounds better than ever.

FWIW

I vote re-reverting back to the normal sound system again and maybe this time test the Miles sound heavily before bringing it online. I am tired of being a chipmunk on speed over the vox. Oh and that bumble bee noise is annoying.

Just so everyone understands there are 2 things that have changed that are separate issues.

1. We went to the miles sound system.

2. We switched to a voxware compressor.

The 2 issues of voice or general sound changes are different issues.

Yes I'm having the same Vox issues as everyone else. Sometimes it sounds like everyone is on helium and then you just loose it and get beeps and static.

Post by: macdp51 on May 26, 2010, 12:33:41 PM
Vox is not right - hard to describe as it seems to change - depending on who is talking , squaddies sound like on helium ( has started much inner squad humor) other players unable to understand at times. I'm running USRangers sound pack any issues there? PS nice Check Six calls Ranger LMAO first time I heard it ) :rock
Thanks

I've had to turn my Global Sound volume to (I'd guess) about 10% just so I can hear vox without blasting my ears off with the normal game sounds.  Other than vox quality/volume, my other game sounds are fine.

I think everyone sounds Nasally with the new vox system. As for general sounds I don't notice a difference, but I expect there have been no major changes implemented as of yet.

up until two hours ago..I was jealous that some of you cats were getting ANY sound.  I wasn't... just the mic keys...and nobody was hearing me either.  I did a reload of the latest patch....restarted the pooter...all is fine..but yeah...it does not sound nearly as clear as it did last week.

When I logged on last night I had vox.  I thought I heard some sort of click when someone talked.  We were  using squad vox btw.

game sounds were louder then normal.  When I tried to turn them down it did little good.  An hour or so later I heard a loud click

and I lost vox completely.  When my squadmates were talking on squad channel I lost sounds completely until they stopped talking.
