Windows Volume Setting
Hi all,
Have a weird issue with my mic settings. I am not sure when it started occurring (maybe nobody informed me until recently and just put up with my low volumes?), but the windows settings are not sticking when I go to sound panel -> adjust settings for recording. When I manually set this to recording, my mic just magically boosts itself in-game. I have tested this by alt-tabbing, setting it, coming back in game and my squadmates confirmed I am louder.
How can I get this setting to stay after restarting my PC, as I always forget before launching the game? I am pretty sure it used to do that.
Specs: running XP 32 bit, soundblaster x-fi soundcard, all in game settings maxed out for volume.

Re: Windows Volume Setting
I am not sure why this happens, but it happens to me sometimes running vista home premium 64bit, there really should be some sort of "set as default" setting or something.

Yeah, it drives me mad, like it won't even set when the thing is closed, and re-opened. I actually leave the sound control panel open while playing to make sure its set right. It seems like windows fault in this case, a problem that will hopefully be solved when I reformat soon anyway.

I need to do some more troubleshooting, just thought I'd throw it out there first to see if anyone had a quick and easy fix :S

Re: Windows Volume Setting
You could try and turn your mic playback volume to max and then mute it?
I just fired up my old pc with XP 32bit home and the playback vloume is muted and at 100%, and my recording is set at 100% un-muted with boost turned off (turn it on in game) I have never had mic issues with my headset with these settings, using 32 bit XP home.Last edited by MrMojay; 11-01-2009 at 02:55 AM.

Re: Windows Volume Setting
I have to remember to re-up my volume each time I put my USB mic back in. Other than that, it's been staying. I used to have your problem. At odd times it would seem to lower itself. I have no idea what fixed it. Do you take yours out often or just leave it in? I'd also like to know if there's a way I can make it default 100% record volume...

Re: Windows Volume Setting
You know what's weird is these problems seem to have gone away now. Mic is set to 100% on mute, I just have to unmute if I want to record my own voice in FRAPS. My headset stays connected all the time however so the hardware side does not change. I think this may have had to do with my X-Fi control panel and the "syncrhonize with control panel" setting.
