Direct speak problems.

[yourgrandma]

I expect direct speak to be quieter than talking through other channels but for me it's almost completely inaudible. I have my volume set in windows on max, in game on max, and my speakers turned on max and i can barely hear what anyone says through direct speak even when I'm standing directly next to them. Then i just about blow my speakers when I'm trying to listen to someone talk through direct speak and someone talks through another channel. Any one else experiencing this?

I get it sometimes and I wonder if it's not the mic setting of the individual player that is the issue.

Are you sure it was direct speak? If a nearby player talks in other channels (group for example), guys next to him can hear him, but at a lower volume from direct chat.

That happened to me once, I told the guy leading us we could barely hear him from a couple meters, so we found out he was using group chat while being in another fireteam. He switched to direct and everything was fine.

Direct Chat volume is controlled by Effects, not Radio. You need to turn up effects and not use Direct Chat when you're in a helicopter.

I had this problem after patching but with a little adjustment no prob . My settings are: Radio -almost all the way to the right. Effects about 3/4 to the right.
