disconnection issues

[FireDrgn]

When I click on vox button i get disconnected from game.  Game locks up instantly.... Any advise would be appreciated. 

I rebooted my computer each time and this did not help.\

Thanks.

Do you have onboard sound, or a sound card? On board sound uses your CPU. If your computer is on the edge power wise that might be just pushing it over the edge. You can try turning the sound acceleration down to 3/4 instead of full. Not sure if they have that in Vista.

Have on board HD sound which i have tried on and off ... im guessing it should be off in bios  because im using turttle beach   usb external sound card.   wife wont let me hook up speakers so its the only way i found to get surround sound with headphones... got to have it for tanking....

I have  been using this set up for more than a year   just started  vox problem yesterday....... I downloaded all the latest drivers still no luck..... driving me nutts

thanks for the quick reply trying hard to figure this out

how would this just now start a problem?  wierd thats for sure

Is there another way to get vox to work without  "wave in""

if you tune your game id into the vox box -
Do you hear yourself?
if not - double check your key mapping first.
If you hear yourself - then you do not have it mapped right for local.  If not - then you have a sound problem, try like suggested in dx panel ( start-run-dxdiag ) set sound acceleration to 3/4.

Thanks for the replys. I plugged keybaord into differant usb port. Problem solved it can't be that easy can it?

Thanks. (s)

Yes, it can be.  Most computers only have two built-in USB hubs with multiple ports per hub.  Each hub uses a different IRQ and usually shares with another device.

A couple of things can go wrong.

1)  The USB hub gets overloaded when you try to use the USB headset and it locks the bus up.
2)  The USB hub is sharing an IRQ with another high data use device and the sharing causes latency problems so severe the computer locks up.

I really do not care for USB based headsets.  They use far more CPU cycles than an onboard sound chip does, and that is pretty bad.

Thanks for the replys.  Dumb. Me  I thought. I was. Saving CPU. Usage. 



Thanks. Again.
