WinXP Pro + Audigy Gamer problem?

Stinkfist · #1 06-07-2002, 02:37

I seem to remember a thread or 2 discussing a problem with SB's and TS.

I can hear my teammates fine, but I can't speak to them (nor do a loopback test) because i just hear screeching and such when trying to talk ( the screeching is relayed back to me on loopback). When I'm on with my teammates, they hear it.

I've tried the DXDiag fix (GameVoice had a problem installing on my previous install of XP, so I knew to try that already). Anyone else?

It's an AMD Chip w/ VIA chipset (installed the latency patch as well).

Thanks,
Stinkfist

Hmm. I have the same set up. Audigy Gamer, XP Pro with AMD CPU. It works flawlessly.

try turning off the mic boost and setting the mic slider for RECORDING to half way in the Windows Mixer.

Also, make sure you MUTE the mic in the PLAYBACK mixer. Or at least turn the volume way down.

it sounds like perhaps you have a feed back problem .

Also, in TS use the normalize option. This seems to help me.

By the way, can you use the Windows Sound Recorder to record your voice?

thanks for the help...you pointed me somewhat in the right direction.

It seems that the audigy installs to some odd configurations. Heres what I did to fix it (It was on "What you hear" for the input)

controlpanel -> sounds and audio devices

click on the audio tab.

Under "Sound Recording" theres a volume button, click on it

now you'll see "Recording control", check to box "Select" under microphone.

viola

. Sound is perfect.

Thanks for the sound recorder idea, thats what made me know it wasn't setup correctly.

Great! Glad its working..

I forgot about that goofy "What you Hear" device...

I haven't bothered to find out what thats all about... I am sure they had a reason for creating it... Mine was set that way in the beginning too... In fact, it has gotten reset to that periodically.
