    Mic problems ingame

    Hello everyone...

    Here comes a weird problem I have now. I recently got my self a new soundcard. Since I didn't want to keep playing with my onboard one anymore.

    So I got my self a rather expensive one, hoping that the ingame sound will improve. It did. The sound is extremely accurate and awesome ingame.

    BUT! I constanly loose my mic midgame. I keep playing for a few rounds and suddenly it is gone. Simply gone. I can speak on TS. Everything is actually fine. But the game lost the mic. Which is especially annoying since I SL a lot. And now I have to leave my team beaucse of this. I can't play without a mic

    It isn't a problem with my connection to the server. I can reconnect and the mic is still gone. If I click on the audio-options ingame and try to test my mic its gone. I cant even test it anymore.

    Anyone else had a problem like that? Anyone has an idea how to solve it?

    Things done:
    Reinstalled the soundcard and the headset.
    Updated the soundcard and headset to the lasted drivers.

    Soundcard: Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
    Headset: Sennheiser PC161

    Thank you for any input you can give me!

    I remember that sometime the game mutes the mic while in game for some reason but I do not know the solution but that could get you started on the right path.

    USB headsets are awesome, have never had a problem with odd little issues like these

    No not USB. The standard way for sounds pluged in directly in the sound card.

    I keep on trying ...

    thanks for the input so far.

    Ich antworte dir einmal auf deutsch!!!

    Ich habe sowohl die Soundkarte, als auch das Headset und ich habe auch ab und zu solche Probleme!!

    Auf einmal funktioniert mein Mikrofon nicht mehr!!
    Bisher hat nur ein Neustart geholfen, eine andere Lösung habe ich bisher leider nicht gefunden!!!

    I know the other day a restart for Big Eye seemed to work. Though it's definatly not the most convenient thing to do.

    That is correct. Restarting my game is the only way to get my mic back ingame. By now! I just came up with the idea to plug my mic in the onboard soundcard since it was working there. Let's see if that is working ...

    BTW. DrBeat didn't know you speak german

    As for German, well, it was my first language. My mom is a German major so all our au pairs were German. I picked out the key words to read it but I can't speak it anymore. If you talk really really really slowly I might pick it up.

    And glad everything worked out.

    Bigeye,

    You need to disable the onboard sound in the system BIOS. I think you are having a conflict in the system because of the onboard sound and the add on card working at the same time and the computer is confused.

    Ah... I apologize for providing bad information on your problem when I was responding to Bigeye's question.

    However, Bigeye said he was using onboard mic and add on card output. The only way the onboard mic would work is if the o/b sound is enabled.

    Can you run the dxdiag and post results here? It might help in troubleshooting.
