People can't hear me on headset

[AlienXXI 10]

When I use the in game headset, people say they can hear static, but not my voice. However, when I play other games or am on Vent or a program like that, people can hear me just fine.

I have the mic volume set to high so I don't know what is going on.

Are you talking about Teamspeak3/2, Ventrilo, Mumble or just VoN implemented in ArmA2?

I guess u applied the correct keys?!

What do u mean by

people say they can hear static,

?

Can u record your own voice via windows tools to check your microphone is working properly?Just to be sure, although "people said they can hear you".Just to eliminate all possible issues.

When I use the Arma 2: OA in game voice chat (default key is CAPS LOCK), people say they can hear static, but not my voice.

However, on other video games with in game voice chat, people hear me just fine. Also, people hear me just fine on Vent and other similar programs.

I just want to know how I can fix it so people can hear me through the Arma 2: OA in game voice chat

I have the exact same problem. I have posted on this before but nobody has suggested a fix for this yet. Like you, my headset mic works fine with TS3 (which I use when playing as it's the only way to talk to clan members). I HEAR everyone else fine through VoN. When I hit CapsLock my name appears as if I am speaking through VoN but no-one can hear anything I say. As such, I am pretty sure the problem lies with the game not picking up my mic rather than with my headset. Very frustrating

Anyone can help me? I thought this was the troubleshoot section where people come for help?

Are there some ports I need to open? It does not make sense that I can talk fine on any other game or program that has voice chat, but I have problems on this game.

Did u change the key already to another one?

[AlienXXI 10]

No, I did not change the talk key to any other key. Caps lock is what was set as default to talk in Arma 2: OA and I have not changed it.

[Nephris1 10]

Well, i would change it just for testing to any free one.

[AlienXXI 10]

I don't think changing the hotkey for the talk button will make any difference, but I will give it a shot.

Edit: No, people still claim that they only hear static when I try and talk.

Do you have the latest updated drivers for your PC?

[pipscouse 10]

Yep - everything is bang up to date. This is only a problem in Arma :-(

[Mr. Charles 22]

Set your mic up in arma audio settings under options in main menu.

[pipscouse 10]

Yep - Done that as well, but thanks for suggestion

[pipscouse 10]

Sorted. New dedicated headset has worked. I just needed to play about with default playback and recording devices in Windows 7. A big thank you to everyone for their interest and suggestions.
