Microphones in lobbies

Solution to all this: Just don't disable voicechat when a player dies, it's lame and makes people get creative using third party tools.

You really think that people use ventrillo and TS because they can't speak to each other for a whole 10 seconds?

Is there any other reason? If you don't mind not voicechatting when dead or out of lives, what's the reason you will be using a third-party tool to voicechat about the current game you're playing if the game supports that natively?

Dude, are you serious?  Of course if you are using 2 programs to communicate you're going to get an echo, and this is true with any game.  All you have to do is mute everyone you're talking with in either the other program or in the game.    >.<

Yeah but there has got to be somesort of a way to fix it :(

[Farley4Fan]

There is.  I tried to say it in that post.   :D

You literally have to either mute everyone you are talking to in xfire/ventrilo, or mute everyone in the actual game lobby you are playing in.   You have to mute the people with you in the game lobby if you are also in a 3rd party chat system with those people.

In-game voice chat is not the best quality and it sucks you can't comm when you are dead (It's the realism feature I get it but still). Xfire has great quality but not the best ofcourse. If you mute in-game you cannot use the hack/speak feature.

Why would that cause an echo? It's not like I'm using 2 microphones to chat.

[DreadStunLock]

That what I am trying to figure out :( it does Echo if you use in-game voice chat with Xfire call.

Go into "Audio Options" in CT and then change the value of "Voice volume" to 0. That should fix it.

[DreadStunLock]

How the hell is that meant to fix anything? That same thing as muting it in-game -.-

[YaYz0r]

No, your opponents can still hack your communication if you just turn down the voice volume but they cannot if you mute it in-game.

Being facetious dude, it is very possible, if your buddy is hearing the echo,  that its because there are two streams sending him your voice. If you are hearing the echo check your input settings since it it is likely you have your stereo mix set to monitor or something silly like that.

No, your opponents can still hack your communication if you just turn down the voice volume but they cannot if you mute it in-game.

But it's either they can't hear or they cannot hear me.

[Farley4Fan]

There is literally no way to fix that if you want to use xfire at the same time and also hack communications.

It just doesn't work like that.

I guess we should hope that PS will have same or better voice quality :)

[Gawain]

there is no way in the universe to regulate voip, just get over it.

ts/ventrilo was also used to communicate outside/between different game lobbies.

Ok Rambo, one person already cleared it no need to give a mean post back :(
