Title: BattleCom probs
Post by: DMax on May 07, 2001, 10:32:00 AM: Our squad uses a static server for BC. I seem to be the only one with this problem: when using BC I transmit fine. When receiving, most, not all, comms repeat twice. I'm not talking about a mic echo...there is a half second delay between the same comm.

I'm using SBLive! and have checked Shadowfactor.com for solutions. My drivers are current. Any possible solutions?

Thanks,
DamnedMax

Speakers with a mic can cause feed back or repeating comms even if someone that is connected to you is using them . The problem might not be you , it could be anyone that you are connected to . Try and persuade the others you are connected to not to use voice activation , this causes problems . Also be sure you are using "priority mode" .

<SALUTE> BTW I have same card , mine works great

Don't think I tried changin to priority mode. Will give that a shot tonight. I'm using headphones with a mic--which may explain why *I* sound fine to the others. I know some of the guys have speakers and are using voice activated mics too as many times i can hear my own transmission in the background of theirs. That might be it.

Thankee much,

I have a question for ya paintmaw. Someone else mentioned the mic + speaker (vs headset) issue as a culprit. I use the mic + speakers and am told I sound fine. I'm pretty sure the other guys use the same configuration, and we all use button activation to transmit. I'll try that "priority" tweak you mentioned.
