Teamspeak and Voip
Im looking some advice please. I would like to Use 1 mic to do 2 things. Ie use Teamspeak and voip with one mic and a little earpiece, say using onboard sound card, Then using 5.1 speakers just for game sounds
Is this possible, and if so how would i configure it?

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
You can configure Teamspeak to use another sound device like your onboard sound (Teamspeak Settings|Options). VOIP usually just uses your primary sound device so it'll get routed to where the game sounds are going.

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
It's easy and will likely configure like that for you anyway. I use my left ALT key while in game for VOIP and my caps lock key for TS. If you have trouble getting it going PM me and I'll help you configure it.

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
Yeah, I can't think of any games that allow you to route your Voicecomms to a different sound device from the game sounds. Teamspeak is easy, in-game voice not so much... Originally Posted by Rock

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
Altering the sound files wouldn't do anything, just give you a punkbuster slapping mabey. So all people voices to the earpiece and game noises to the speakers? That's going to be hard to sepearate VOIP from ingame noises, but easy to do with TS. You can choose where you want TS to go, I'm pretty sure, but ingame noises come from the same program and are blended together.

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
It would be really neat if it did, but it looks like it is a long streach. I know since you can change the volume coming from the 3 diffrent streams (music, gamenoise, voip), that they join together and go into the headphones in the last step, but that kind of thing is coded into the game.

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
Nothing short of the game developer altering the game code will get what you want. I'd like it too because I'm far too spoiled from the Ghost Recon days of using onboard sound for Teamspeak and my sound card for game sound.
I actually play with my headphones (Zalmans) more often now so I can hear game VOIP clearly.

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
I've done this quite successfully by using my sound card as my default sound device, then using a USB headset for TeamSpeak and pointing TeamSpeak to my USB headset device.

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
Right, but that doesn't do what he wants... He wants to separate in-game voice as well. Originally Posted by Apophis

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
Well thanks for the help people, but its not going to happen is it.Dam!
Here's another then, How can i use the same mic with 2 different soundcards.
Ie, onboard soundcard for Teamspeak with sound coming through headset or one ear piece speaker, and creative soundcard for voip and game sounds through speakers by using something like this?

Re: Teamspeak and Voip
The game will take mic input from one sound card so you set Teamspeak to use the same sound card. Teamspeak can use a mic from one sound card and output sound to another sound card. I do this with Battlefield.
Teamspeak output: sound card
Teamspeak input: onboard sound
Game sound: onboard sound
Game mic: onboard sound
This is one example. Mix and match combinations to whatever suits your needs.
