Stupid microphone! Created 20 years ago2004-11-12 23:09:24 UTC by Rileymo

I have a Labtec microphone, It works great and I mainly use it too play The Battle-Grounds. But now that I switched computers somthings wrong. It works fine until I get into a game on steam. Not when I get into steam.

And I don't want this to turn out to be a anti-steam vs. steam-lover
Argument.

Check the game's internal settings perhaps?

Voice is enabled.

if i get into the battle-grounds, go to options the voice and click test microphone it works fine, and then when I get into the game, it wont work, even if I go back click test micrphone. Pleas help!

Does it work with Windows? I had a similar headset problem. I could hear the in-game chat and the sounds, but my weapon SHOTS were far away, but the weapon CASINGS were right next to me. And nobody could hear me when I talked in-game. Microphone setup worked perfect (go figure). Ended up being the headset itself. I decided that was the problem when I couldn't hear my mp3s in complete stereo. The game was where it always showed itself, though.

No thats not the problem it works fine until I join a server, then it won't even work for windows

Update DirectX/your sound drivers?

posted in the wrong forum.

DirectX 9.0b for me. I don't know about sound drivers. My dad usaully maintains this PC.

BTW, I'm having problems with my PC back in my room, I usually use it to map for HL1 and photo-editing 'n stuff. I decided to hook up my PC to my PC, with 150 watts of pure sound power. I think that might've strained my power-supply altough it didn't happent until I toggled on UDMA for my PC with a XP tweaking program called X-Stetup.

The problem is that now that I try to login, it say; "loadin your settings" and then I hear the hardrive activity noise and then it reboots. I've tryed booting with Safe Mode and Last known good conguration and it still won't work.

Please help!

Thats odd.

How loud is that HD activity noise? Louder or harsher noises can sometimes indicate a virus infection - If it's really loud and annoying, you may just have a lovely virus on your hands.

If you have the installation CD for the OS, try booting directly from that.

hmm maybe. Its not that loud.

Ugh, can someone help me please?

OMG, someone help, I uninstalled windows and I can't get it back on. I reformat my hard drives, and it says; "Creating list of files to be copied" and then copies them. The PC reboots (routine) and then goes right back to the begining again! Help!

Odd. Repartition too? Is this a legit copy of XP?

whisper*no*whisper

But its worked fine until now, its my PC thats the prob, I'm about to get a new PC after the first of the year.

Well, I'd suggest doing what, ahem, certain others with legally-dubious XP discs do, which is install a legit copy of Windows 9x and then upgrade over.

Might be a dying harddrive ;P

Its ooollllllld
