best method of playing music over teamspeak?

[☼¥V☼ Bodom]

so it doesnt sound like shit. what should my options be set at, how should i place my mic with my speakers or headphones or whatever, and how loud should i play it? and is there any way to play it directly into TS without going through the mic? thanks

Depending on the music, its probably illegal.
Regardless, set your codec to its highest (usually speex 25.9), VOX would help so you arent holding a key, and volume well thats just something you will have to play around with. Mic prob about 5cm from a speaker - also something to play round with.

It will never sound like the CD if that's what you mean. Codecs allowed is set up by the Administrator of the TS server. If he wants it to sound like bad it will do. Normally restricted uplink bandwith makes (SA) turn down the compression codec.

Playing any sound through the computer so that it can be retransmitted via any sound sending program is quite simple.

First use head phones don't playback sound through your speakers you'll cause feedback.

START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL>SOUNDS AND AUDIO DEVICES
ADVANCED(Under place volume in taskbar)> UNMUTE MICROPHONE (You should now hear yourself through the headphones whenyou speak on the mic)

OPTIONS>PROPERTIES>RECORDING (Tick radio button)
(Tick boxes for Stereo mix or what you hear (If you are using an SBlive card))
OK>
Tick stereo mix buss (Or what you hear)
You should now hear your own voice when you speak on the mic. You should also hear any music or sounds played through the computer via the headphones.

What >YOU< hear is what goes out over teamspeak Paltalk yahoo chat or what ever voip program you are using at the time.

Remember using speakers in this mode will almost certainly cause feedback.
Reversing this process will revert to original (no through audio) mode.

I'm having trouble finding this part. Where should I see the OPTIONS>PROPERTIES>RECORDING selection?

[Timeless]

Windows Start Button --> settings --> sounds & Audio
select Volume tab --> device volume click advanced (opens the mixer)
--> goto menu "options" --> there´s properties , click & there you´ll find "set volume assign to "Playback " ", "Record"

I don't have a microphone on this computer, I just wanna loop sounds from a soundboard into the teamspeak channel with one while I game on the main (that has my microphone).

See this post.

if your sound board supports "wave out mix", then the sound board will automatically treat the sound output as the source for the sound input. It might disable your mic port, but using wave out mix is less of a hassle (and better quality) than other methods (using a cable from line out to line in, holding mic to speaker, etc.).

All you have to do is: record with "Stereomix".

What I have done, but stopped since very few listened and it took quite some of my bandwidth.
On my server (next to the TS server software)
I installed a TS client and I started winamp and filled it with MP3's and set the recording options of my onboard soundcard to WAV and all could listen to my music.

So guess you should make it playable soundtracks on your computer and play them with mediaplayer or such.

You could just start a ShoutCast and that would make things much easier prob for you and everyone. It's good if you have a decent connection though I have 9mgs down and 1meg up and it runs great now but when I had reg cable I could notice it alot. Anyways that's just my opinion hope you figure something out.

ok when i try that thing, it works with the "What U Hear" but it echos very bad...do u know y?

It's obvious: You're recording what you heard, that includes what other people in the same channel say. Mute headphones.

Logitech USB mics and heaphones dont exactly work too well in conjunction with the soundmax sound system, I have the same problem, just get a regular microphone, or perhaps even get an external sound card and run it all independantly.
