Be sure you have the correct mic selected in the game sounds settings page.

Thankyou  :aok

I think that will help but I seem to remember it used to be possible to feed mic into your own speakers to set up channels and volume etc. Is that still possible ?

I would like to set up a channel for range and another for a squad or similary like channel 119 for example. I guess I just map channel keys for that.

Yarbles, you can test your mic by tuning to yarbles on channel 5 online, or to "SERVER" offline.

Im not really sure what your trying to do.

There are 5 radio channels. Hitting the "/" key opens the radio bar.

The first 4 channels are text channels and each can be tuned to a number of channels. Clicking the drop down box gives you the basic ones such as squad, country, all, and so one. Each can also be tuned to a numbered channel like 119. Click and drag your mouse to highlight the channel, type in 119, then hit enter. You can also type in a players name and tune him private, but only on your team you can no longer tune cross countries.

The 5th channel is for voice/vox. It has two channels, local which you use to talk to those in your general area on your team by pressing the "F12" key. The second channel you tune the same as the text channels by using the drop box or highlighting and typing in a number or name. To use this one default is the "T" key.

The "ALL" channel is turned off by HTC. to talk/chat across to other countries you have to use a channel number 200. Also any channel over 200 is a cross country channel.

Last thing, to make things easier on you, you could use a program called "Voice Attack". Its a program that you can use to "speak" your commands and it can hit the keys for you. So you could "say" country channel and it would open the radio and tune it to which ever channel you have set for the country channel and be ready for you to just type it out and it enter. You can use the program to do all kinds of things say "Flaps" and it will drop a notch of flaps for you. 10 free commands, of $10 US for unlimited commands.

Hope this helps.

If I understand correctly you're talking about "mic monitoring" that allows you to hear your own voice even if your headphones are of the earmuff type. If that's the case, go to Settings>System>Sound>Input:Properties>Advanced properties>Listen tab. Check "Listen to this device". Click OK and you should hear every breath you take through your headphones.

The advice is for Windows 10 and the wording may not be exact as I translated it on the fly but I suppose you can follow the path.

Are you sure you have chosen the right microphone in AH? As you see, mine says Realtek(R) Audio which is commonly used on motherboards. However, some motherboards also feature Realtek(R) Digital Audio which is a different animal. And obviously, if you're using a USB headset you should choose that instead of the mobo circuit.

This is embarrassingly noobish but, there is a mic test which showed the mic was working but there was no advances properties option so I could not feed back into my earphones which are wired. The mic in the headphones does not work but my desk top mic is set as the default and did work in the test.

I have tried both options

I know the mic works in other applications especially Discord

Maybe the key is not properly mapped. I have been mapping the transmit key to Global radio 5

My game sounds show as coming from speakers probably because the headphones are plugged in using a Jack Plug not usb. The mic is also a jack plug which is seperate. The PC is obviously operating the mic but not in Ah assuming I have mapped the key correctly.

If you are offline type SERVER into radio 5. Do not map the transmit key. Use the default key.

Yarbles, if you would like to meet up in the TA I can help walk you through your mic setup, and any other issues you may be having.

Weekdays I'm available after 6 pm PST. We could even meet up before the final frame of the scenario Saturday if you are going to fly with us again.
