BB those look very similar to the defaults, which is what mine are. But I think I've solved the problem

I've unplugged the headphones from the 'hockey puck' thingy and plugged them straigt into the sound card and it seems alot louder now, I think. People seemed to be able to hear me last night, though I couldn't get any feedback on whether it was clear or not. Of to a beer festival tonight so I wont be able to test again until Saturday.

Catch ya then.

Hi guys.

My turn for some help with the comms. I can't usually use voice becuase my pc's outside thid kids bedroom so shouting things like "he's behind you" can't be done. But with the tourney thing in the afternoon, I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm using an old desktop mike that came with my very first pc, it's old but unused. I've checked my config with blueballs above and made the changes needed and checked that it's enabled in the CS GUI's.

Still can't get it to work though. I'm not even getting the speaker icon showing against my name in the game (TAB key).

Any ideas?

You will never see speaker icon against your name. None of us do, that is normal. If you start windows recorder or something like that can you record wave files from the mic? Try this:

Start CS, select play and pick LAN instead of internet. Select "create game" and pick a map. Join the game and bring down your console. Tyoe "voice_loopback 1" in console. Now press the key assigned to talk and try speaking. You should hear your own voice with a bit of a delay. If that is OK then type voice_loopback 0 in console and smile because you are working OK.

Things to watch for: If you have speakers instead of headphones watch out for feedback - we don't like it and the feedback you get will be worse (LOL).
HTH?

It just wasn't working, but I think I've found the prob. I had taken the advice of a previous post and made my config.cfg file read only, so the changes I made in the GUI didn't take.

I'll find out how well it works during the tourney.
