Can hear but not speak

[*HFE*overdose]

I know it sounds like a quick "why don't you plug in your mic stupid, and/or turn it on" kind of problem but i have already gone over that. The mic works fine in normal win2k usage. Even when teampspeak is on and i am connected to the loopback server i can still here my voice through the speakers (or headphones) WHILE i am speaking. When i press the voice activation pushkey i get nothing returned to me except a bunch of sometimes very awful and noisey static which gets louder each time it is looped back to me (even with the headphones on). This was with shift as the push key. An interesting thing happened when i tried to use z as the pushkey... z caused the windows default beep (ping) to sound and if i held it down the beeps (pings) would get louder as they were looped back. This with the headphones on leads me to believe that teamspeak seems to think that my microphone is actually output sound driver or something.
Any ideas?

ok maybe you need some system info? windows 2k on a celeron 1.7GHz, 256MB Ram, sound blaster live! value, Gforce4 mx440. Just played yet another clan match with only being able to hear and not speak. Pleeease pleeease someone help ;o) thx

This problem is know from ts2, where is (mostly) fixed.
Try using wave as sound driver in ts1. I think that should help

Well thanks for the suggestion although that didn't fix it, but it sounds much better with the wave setting. For some reason on the record setting for the sound blaster live mixer microphone didn't show up in the list. I still have no idea why it decided to suddenly appear but i selected it and it works like a charm now. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in to helping the gaming community with free software like this ;o)
