Set up your mic

[Darksyde024]

Now that our gameplay depends almost entirely on communication using VOIP, i wanted to create a thread to help people set up there MIC's.

Half the time i cant hear you guys because you dont have your mic's boosted or set to proper levels.

One tip i have for you is to look in your control panel folder and toggle the mic setting under your sounds folder. many times its under recording and set to very low.

i agree, also i think there must be somekind of message about the mics are needed in the pr message of the day

Dude, why did you open up another thread?

Wow, I just found out why no one could hear my VOIP messages! Basically, if no one can hear you, try this:

Double-click the speaker icon in the lower-right corner of your screen, or double-click and choose 'Volume Controls'. From the Alternatives drop-down menu, choose Properties, and you'll find yourself in a menu which should include a list of checkboxes. Enable 'Mic Volume'. It'll very likely be set to a very low setting. Increase it to 50% or something.

Now to see if it's worked !

To be honest people should know about this sort of thing when they buy a computer, in control panel there is almost always an option to toggle things, when in doubt check there first.
