So here is my mic/voip/fraps/ingame sound messup:

I followed the steps laid out above and can record all sounds fine. I guess its normal that all other players will hear my ingame sounds while i transmit VOIP because the sounds pass thru the unmuted mic.

Only problem left an echo in my voice when recording.
In Windows i can speak normally on TS, but as soon as i load up BF2 my voice gets an echo added. I got that removed once by disabling/enabling VOIP in BF2 but its back since then.

I also have to work on the levels. Ingame sounds are still too loud and my voice volume too low...

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

I found my X-Fi had some default audio filters on, making my voice sound odd. One was reverb or something. Actually, you can change the filters so that you sound different over VOIP. I made it sound like I'm Mickey Mouse once.

Maybe I'll make it lower my voice so I sound cooler.

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

leaving eax on during recording for my x-fi card introduces a minor (300-400 ms) sync problem with the audio. the audio lags behind teh video. not a big issue. but for movie recording, eax does not make much of a difference since the showcase is the teamwork, not the earcandy.

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

Hey guys sorry for the topic bump but I have quite a big problem and I thought this was the right topic to put it in:
I just got my new PC and I want to record with it (with FRAPS) but if I go to sound settings, it doesn't display mute/unmute mic.
This is what I get when I click sound settings:


This is the first window

This is the second one (properties is called eigenschappen in Dutch)

And this is the RealTek audio manager which came with my mobo.

As you can see I can never mute/unmute my mic nor I can here myself feeding back through my mic. Does anyone know how/where I can mute/unmute my mic so that I can hear myself feeding back and FRAPS records my voice? I'd really appreciate some help.

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

under options "opties" you need to make sure mic is listed I think. I belive this is under the properties tab. you then make a checkmark next to microphone so it shows up in that panel. the panel only lists a few things by default, of which the mic is not one. no clue about the realtek audo manager.

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

Ok, I understand, that's what I did on my previous PC too, but it displays alot of stuff, look:



So what one is the one I'm looking for?


edit: Thank you so much, Sc1ence, I thought about it and I then knew, my mic's in rear pink so I clicked that and indeed it's muted so now I can unmute it!! It works, yay!!

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

I would think it would say microphone? if it does not display the word microphone, then perhaps a pink input? or whatever color input your mic is?

also on the realtek audio panel, it looks like you have other options on the audio output. the little arrows below and to the right of the rear output. is microphone one of them? is there some options page to get microphone to appear there?

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

Oh I've got one more question: I can now hear myself through the mic and stuff, which means I can now record my own voice. But when I went to play Battlefield all my squaddies told my I was inhearable and couldn't understand anything I was saying. (I was sounding static and all) I made a movie to show what happens if I click the microphone treshold button (I don't say anything, it just freaks out even when it's all silent in my room). I have no idea how this happens.. but here it is:

Don't put your sound up too high while watching

I think it's because the sounds I'm hearing through my earphones are somehow feeding back through my mic so that everyone hears my game sounds + my voice = a mess. My settings in control panel are: microphone volume all the way up, no mic boost (I had put it off because I thought it might be the problem), ingame my settings are send & receive 100%, game effects 90%, sound & something else (below effects) 27%. I'd really like some help here because there's no way I can play like this (and record)

Interesting note: in teamspeak everyone can hear my little error bell when I'm typing (normally -on my other computer, that is- when I hold the talk button I do get that error bell but I'm the only one who does)

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

That is definitely feedback. You using speakers?

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

I get that when I have "stereo mix" turned on, try switching it off and see if that works.

Well it is feeding back somehow. I get some feedback with my headset, the vibrations travel like so:



So it is possible your volume is set too loud, or your microphone is too sensitive (lower the playback volume).

Re: FRAPS and recording your own VOIP

a few thoughts
> from your video I can see you dont have mic boost gain on, put it on so your squad mates can hear you better
> when you unmute mic in control panel make sure the slider in that microphone section is up about 90% max
> the weird feedback you are getting is not your mic but software. Its a software setting somewhere (I pretty sure about that) Eg Simpson's suggestion of stereo mix (above)
