Problem with voicecomms, help!

**Pompa** · 02-07-2007, 01:02 PM

Ok, I've searched some on the net, but haven't been able to find a fix. I will keep looking, but I thought I'd make a post here as well in case someone can help.

Problem: Voicecomm comes through chopped up (mine that is, I can hear you).
Local test is fine and I can use it with other applications (voipe, skype, TS2) while gaming. I only have this problem in CS:S.

I think that it just gets chopped up so that all I transmit comes through, it's just like if you're listening to a cd and press pause/play every other second...

Anyone who knows how to fix it?
I've got a 3.4GHz pentium dual core, one gig RAM. built in sound on Asus mboard.
I'm using wlan, but as I mentioned before, this problem only occurs in CS:S, and I experience no lag in gameplay when transmiting voicecom

Is it the same way on other servers or other HL2 games?

Is this a new occurance, or has it always been this way? If it's a new thing, start with drivers, then work your way towards uninstall/reinstalling steam and your other steam apps.

If it's been around since you installed steam and CSS, try reformating/reinstaling windows and drivers...

Since it works ok outside source, it shouldn't be the drivers, right?
I'm reinstalling the whole thing then (steam+CS:S)...

Did you mess with the gain boost and volume levels... ? If the gain boost is on and you dont need it to be, that might do it.

I think the problem might be solved.
I got a Logitech USB-headset today and tested it on a pub server, they said I came through fine...

Sounds like a conflict with CS:S. Most basic headsets don't have a driver unless they come with some external digital controls. A USB headset will require drivers, though i think that's first time i've heard of a USB headset. I just use the audio jack types.

No drivers came with it, and no search for drivers...just plugged it in and there it was. I was just on the server and did a radiocheck, and now it works

(hehe, I hadn't heard about USB-headsets until yesterday either, but I read about it in a forum and thought it might be the ticket for me

)
