Many years ago, when I first started AHII as volvo744, I used a Plantronics DSP-500. This worked great for me, clear sound, and clear voice. I left for a few years and recently came back, and now the mic does not work. The headphones are still outstanding. I was wondering if it was the mic itself, but quite honestly I cannot figure out how to test it on my system outside of AH because there is no way to "key" it, or I don't know which key to use to do that.
The above said, I wanted to know if any changes in this time frame may have affected it adversely, because when I key the mic in game the first time, each time, it locks my screen briefly, a few seconds. After that, fine. And others do hear me keying it, just no sound. I have dug into everything in the system to make sure all parameters are properly set, and it appears it should work, having prioritized "plantronics headset" in everything I can, but again, for me, the odd bit is that initial lock up the first time I key it. It makes me wonder if something changed. I have also tried .resetv
Thanks for any help possible, it is a bit frustrating on two fronts. One, poor communication, and two, accidentally keying the mic with my thumb when is a dogfight. I am always low and slow, so freezing up on screen is very unpleasant.
Oh, I should add, one other mod I did to my system in between times on AH was to add a USB 2.0 slot. I already use a powered hub for my X-52.
