Voice communication

I have been trying to get the voice communication working. (It was a real bonus in last weeks FNF on 2fort and should be a great aide in the upcoming Ville Cup.) The problem is I still sound like I am underwater--the voice cuts out periodically and is fuzzy. I have tried all the little physical tweaks (adjusting volume, mic position, etc) and none of those worked.

I remember back when the 1.1.0.8 patch came out this all was discussed then, too, but I cannot locate that info. If anyone has any ideas, links, comments that might be useful, I would appreciate your input.

Some relevant system info:
Win98SE
Soundblaster Live
headset mic
PIII 800mHz, 384MB
connecting through DSL

Have you tried a different mic by chance?

Also, deathbringer used to have a problem with his, you might wanna email or pm him and ask what he did. I sorta know but dont wanna mess it up. I also have a SB Live and have no probs.

You might wanna also check your IRQ sharing of the Sound Card. It maybe sharing an IRQ with something else and causing some conflicts. Moving the card to a different PCI slot may help.

I assume you mean when you say adjusting level that you went to the set-up control panel and set your mic up??

Yes. I set up the mic with the sound card mixer and it sounds fine by itself. Then I used the voice comm setup that is part of the 1.1.0.9 patch, and that sounded fine. When I tried the voice comm in game--I am underwater (breaks up badly).

I went through and tried several different combinations of settings for the mic input volume and positioning of the mic, but nothing has seemed to work quite right.

OFF TOPIC.........

bobins162 - Please disengage your cap locks.. Typing in all caps is considered shouting and very annoying.

Thanks

Gndapoo,

The same thing happens to me underwater. I think it is supposed to be that way. After all, you really cannot hear well when you are under water in real life. It also sounds kind of echo-y. That is the only time my sound or voice is at all strange so I have to assume it is supposed to be that way.

I could be wrong.
