Microphone trouble

[maynard]

it's weird. with my mic, half the people tell me I'm really quiet, evne though I got everythign maxed like you do, and have updated all my drivers, and then the other half of the crowd can hear me perfectly fine.... and CSS is the ONLY game where that happens.... tiz weird.

I've just been very sort of aprehensive about doing any tinkering, Im hoping that if I find the right setting it should fix it, rather than screwing with a driver

get a sound recorder software (windows naturally has sound recorder built-in)
record your voice over mic and see how it comes out.

maynard, that's fucking weird. sounds almost like something wrong in your autoconfig...but no clue what

I had the same problem for over a year. I eventually got fed up, spent a day tinkering with the settings and it turns out some inputs or outputs have to be muted? Then again, every system is different but if you still have the problem msg me on steam and I'll try to help you out when i get off work around 9:30

[acolyte_to_jippity]

yeah, i think you're in my steamfriends kav. if i'm on msg me and i could teamviewer w/ you to see if i can figure it out. no promises of course

Alright ill look into doing that later, I did manage to get the sound receiver quality for the mic up strangely by setting it to dvd quallity

so it got me to thinking do you know if theres a sound sensitivity setting where I can rig it up so that it picks up my voice from about a foot away rather than right next to it like its doing now?

and it'll have to be after 11:00 pm thought because of the new futurama today.

Eurika! I fixed it, I had to fuck around with a bunch of settings and then boost it by 20 dm and it fixed itself in a typical fashion so thanks anyway guys.
