microphone

FBG · September 13, 2002, 02:10:54 PM

Hey, i want to start using voice comms but am having trouble finding a decent mic. I would prefere to get one from a shop but if any of you have a url for a decent mic then that would be of great help.

Also whats the best way to avoid the mic interfering with my headphones or speakers, as most have an ear piece as well?

:? As an aside about microphones, how do I get the volume/gain turned up? I've run the audio wizard and stuff but I need to shout before ppl can hear me. It's a bit disconcerting for 'er indoors while shes sitting there playing Pinball or Diablo II and I shout out 'He's hiding behind the red box, cover me!' :wink:

Bring up your master volume control panel and select mic boost.

I think I've done that OB, but I'll double check tonight. I've also got the -20db setting ticked.

OK this is a bit basic but did you check the Voice Transmit Volume in CS options?

:oops:

Sn00ks · September 17, 2002, 02:48:37 PM

:oops: You're right it is a bit basic and no I didn't check it :oops: 8O
I didn't even know there was a option! I'll check it tonight.
Thanks.

:?: Well I had a look at the config menu and could see no option for the Voice Transmit Volume. were you having me on? :cry:
I've tried two different headsets and both were very quiet. :?

Snooky..

I believe you'll find it in the submenu where you can change your player name and spray. It's either on the first screen or can be found by clicking on the right arrow key that is near the top right.

Good Luck
